“…Figure 2. Resources of the entrepreneurship ecosystem of a SAO Source: Authors' own contribution based on Valliere et al, 2014. Valliere et al (2014) states there is very little research on the performance (Dickson et al, 2008;Pittaway et al, 2009) of such programs, most of it being focused on design and implementation, themes such as participant attitudes, goals, competencies and behaviors (Duval-Couetil, 2013;Peterman & Kennedy, 2003). However, he points out influence factors such as the ability to access the resources of the network in order to achieve new venture success.…”

“…Three different forms of entrepreneurship education have historically been highlighted; these are "About", "For" and "Through" (Gibb, 2002;Handscombe, Kothari, Rodriguez-Falcon & Patterson, 2008;Pittaway & Cope, 2007;Pittaway, Hannon, & Gray, 2009). "About" emphasizes on what entrepreneurs do, and why entrepreneurs are needed.…”

“…Pittaway et al (2009) mean that it includes an application that has been taken the education a little bit further and is labeled as the "embedded" or "in" approach. This form is usually embedded within courses focused on other disciplines or subjects, for example, by combining an academic discipline (e.g., social science) and entrepreneurial education to form and create new ideas for practical application in different or new domains.…”

“…The purpose is to give students, within non-business subjects, awareness and experience of entrepreneurship that is relevant for their field of interest (Pittaway & Edwards, 2012). The three forms (about, for, and through) can be used, but they will be embedded within a course focused on a different discipline (Pittaway et al 2009). …”

The main objective of this study was to provide a contribution to the entrepreneurship education field through evaluating and describing changes in students' attitudes towards entrepreneurship. A pre-test and post-test design was used to evaluate a course design where sport psychology was the main topic with an embedded element of entrepreneurship education. The course was part of university program in Masters Programme in Sports Psychology or Physical Trainer Programme. Sport psychology-students are not the traditional group of students that are selected and trained to get both skills and a positive entrepreneur mindset. There were 39 students completing both the pre-test and post-test questionnaire (response rate 84.4%), mean age 23 years (SD=2.90). Both the pre-and post-test results showed that the sport psychology students had positive attitudes towards entrepreneurship, and the embedded course design have significant effect on students' subjective perception of their ability to create and commercialize new ideas. The results from this case study shown that an embedded course design with sport psychology and entrepreneurial education make it possible to strengthen students' entrepreneurial attitudes. The positive results point out that it is important to continue examine embedded coursed designs between entrepreneurial education and non-traditional areas (e.g., physiotherapists, dentists, architects, e.g.).

“…Most research and educational efforts focus on the design and implementation of engineering entrepreneurship programs. There is a gap in assessment practices [1][2] and there are several reasons for this. Since introducing engineering students to entrepreneurship is a relatively new trend, it will take a long time to fully implement engineering entrepreneurship programs and assess them.…”

Throughout her academic career in Australia and Singapore, she had developed a very strong interest in learning psychology and educational measurement. She then opted for a second Ph.D. in educational psychology, specialized in measurement, evaluation and assessment at University of Connecticut. She earned her second Ph.D. in 2010.

However, very few comprehensive, generalized and well-validated instruments are available for assessment purpose. Most research and educational efforts focus on the design and implementation of engineering entrepreneurship programs, but assessment practices have not kept up. There are several reasons for the shortfall in assessment practices: 1) Introducing engineering students to entrepreneurship is a relatively new trend and it will take time for the successes to be quantified and assessed; 2) There are inconsistencies across different engineering entrepreneurship programs; 3) The program can involve a single course, multiple courses, projects or experiential learning; 4) The concepts can be taught by engineering faculty, business faculty, practicing engineers, or a mix of these. These program differences lead to variations in assessment methods and instruments. Most importantly, there is lack of a clear, consistent and comprehensive definition of enginee...
