15. 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, will not discriminate between the subsets of students.
