14. The question examined by the committee was somewhat more detailed: What (if anything) should the College of Engineering do in engineering entrepreneurship? - For engineering students with special interests in engineering entrepreneurship - For all engineering students • Students with interests in graduate study in engineering • Students with interest in working in large corporations • Students with interest in working in small business This paper, however, does not discriminate among the subsets of students.
