N2 - Creativity, innovation and leadership are among the essential attributes of future engineers as identified in the Engineer 2020 report by the National Academy of Engineering. It is critical for students to have the ability to identify new needs and opportunities for technological innovation in highly complex and interdisciplinary domains. Historically, entrepreneurship has fueled innovation and the advent of many technological advances. Therefore, education in entrepreneurship for engineering or computing disciplines that complement strong analytical and technical skills, is likely to significantly enhance students' lifelong ability and desire to innovate. The goal of this panel is to discuss a number of education models in entrepreneurship, innovation, and leadership at different types of computing and engineering schools across the country and internationally, in order to identify common themes and effective components for such programs.
