Abstract
Drawing upon contemporary research, this paper observes a significant increase in the supply and demand for technology entrepreneurship education. Specific case examples are considered highlighting how engineers and scientists can learn technology entrepreneurship through creatively deploying research breakthroughs to address industrial and societal challenges. The relative merits of different methodological approaches to evaluate the impact of such educational approaches upon skills development and subsequent career destinations are discussed. Finally a case study is presented demonstrating how technology entrepreneurship can be supported on an unprecedented scale using novel online learning tools.
