Abstract

Abstract With the increasing interest in entrepreneurship education within engineering education, there are questions on what engineering entrepreneurship education should include. As engineering entrepreneurship education aims to foster entrepreneurial individuals who will contribute to knowledge-based societies and economic growth, student perspectives are crucial. This study assessed first and final year engineering students’ perceptions on entrepreneurship education in a university in Hong Kong, identifying important competencies as learning outcomes and motivating and deterring factors for students to pursue entrepreneurship as a career. Findings offer implications for curriculum design and educational practices, particularly on formally offering entrepreneurship education in the engineering discipline, involving competencies development in educational practices and developing opportunities addressing students’ factors of motivation and deterrence.
评估高等教育中工科学生的创业教育观点:香港的比较研究
随着创业教育在工程教育领域受到越来越多的关注,工程创业教育应该包括哪些内容也出现了一些问题。由于工程创业教育旨在培养为知识型社会和经济增长做出贡献的企业家,学生的观点至关重要。本研究评估了香港一所大学一年级和最后一年级工科学生对创业教育的看法,找出了作为学习成果的重要能力,以及激励和阻碍学生将创业作为职业的因素。研究结果为课程设计和教育实践提供了启示,特别是在工程学科中正式提供创业教育,涉及教育实践中的能力发展和发展机会,解决学生的动机和威慑因素。
