©2006, The NCIIA Taking Engineering Entrepreneurship Education to The Next Level with Systems Engineering Entrepreneurship at Florida Tech

students ’ educational experience, broadened their perspectives, served as community outreach forums, and integrated experi-ential learning with academic programs. Students work in E-Teams and write NCIIA proposals to commercialize innovative product or university/research lab-developed technology. This paper describes a unique course series in systems engineering (SE) entrepreneurship. Innovation in product/service design and commercialization that enables entrepreneurship can be success-fully leveraged by applying SE principles/techniques that parallel entrepreneurship steps such as customer requirements engineer-ing and opportunity recognition; project/quality engineering; decision/risk analysis; simulation/systems modeling; engineer-ing economics and business planning; systems integration and business plan development; systems launch considerations and product/business launch, etc. Concepts in strategy, team dy-namics, and finance are integrated into these courses focusing on engineering entrepreneurship. A unique SE entrepreneurship program is being pioneered at Florida Tech
