Extract

Two phenomena are converging on the American technological scene which offer challenging implications and opportunities to engineering education. The first relates to the impacts of the wave of small, entrepreneurial companies emerging on the American industrial scene. The second relates to recent developments in university structure and policy innovations to promote university/industry linkages and regional economic growth. Entrepreneurship is encroaching into academic life and policies and could well become a dynamic feature of the university world and its technology transfer activities.
