Campus Innovators Best Practices to Drive Impact As a field, we face pressing questions:
•How do we promote the quality growth of social entrepreneurship education?
•How can we develop a strong community to share best practices and incentivize the creation of new innovations?
•How are we ensuring long-term sustainability of our programs?
•What tools and methods can we use to create legitimacy and ensure results?
Engineering and Social Entrepreneurship – Why now?
What demand are you seeing/hearing from faculty, students and alumni for Social Entrepreneurial applications of Engineering? Is Social Entrepreneurship relevant to teach/learn at Schools of Engineering – why? Why not? How should Social Entrepreneurship be framed and embedded within an Engineering context?Why is now a good time to launch and develop more Social Entrepreneurship programs at Schools of Engineering?
