| Summary: | Negative economic growth, corrupt governments, and global financial crisis; have
attributed to chronic poverty in diverse nations in the world. In fact, this has triggered the
Arab uprising, labor strikes and daily common unrest in the west. There must be a
solution and not empty promises of creating new jobs and getting people employed that
governments have made for ages. To promote entrepreneurship for young generation and
integrating these skills into the educational system is one solution. Entrepreneurship is
the act of being an entrepreneur, being innovator and introducing new ideas in business.
The effort to transform innovation into economic goods and forming new organizations is
what we are discussing. The traditional way of engineering education which focuses on
technical activities or issues associated with product, service and design has to be
reevaluated to include entrepreneurship and business activities. This paper discusses the
issue of entrepreneurial engineering education and its importance in economic
development in higher learning institutions. Integrating entrepreneurship into
engineering education is an imperative domain of technological development for the
Muslims’ world. The paper proposes general framework for integrating entrepreneurship
into engineering educational system. |
