Integration of entrepreneurship into the required engineering curriculum has predominantly focused on senior capstone design courses. This paper describes a strategy for integrating entrepreneurship into a multidisciplinary sophomore-level design course. This early introduction provides an opportunity for students to further pursue their entrepreneurial ideas through a junior/senior level, project-based course.  \nThe Rowan Sophomore Engineering Clinics are integrated courses in which engineering design is taught concurrently with technical communication. This paper describes two entrepreneurial assignments that have been integrated into the Sophomore Clinics: a white paper, and an open-ended semester long design experience in which students propose their own entrepreneurial projects. The projects appear to lead to increased interest in entrepreneurship among students, as indicated by survey results and by an increase in students choosing to pursue entrepreneurial projects as juniorsand seniors. While the Sophomore Clinic structure is unique to Rowan University, the entrepreneurial assignments themselves are readily adaptable to other engineering programs.  \nKeywords: entrepreneurship, design, multidisciplinary  \nwinter 2013 1  \nadvances in engineering education  \nimplementing entrepreneurial assignments in a Multidisciplinary, sophomore  \n Level design course  \ni. BACKGrOUnD  \nThere is a significant and growing interest in strategies for fostering entrepreneurial skills in engineering students. Many engineering programs have created a course in entrepreneurship [1–3], and such courses often involve collaborations between engineering and business students [4–7] . In one such course, Raviv, et al.,[8] showed that the generation of ideas is a skill that can be learned. The authors further demonstrated that their one-semester course led to a marked improvement in engineering students’ ability to generate ideas.  \nThere are also an increasing number of more extensive entrepreneurial programs for engineering students. Shartrand, et al. conducted a summary review [9] that identified 47 technology entrepreneurship credentials that are available at United States colleges and universities, and stated“the vast majority of programs were labeled as minors, concentrations or certificates.” Several of these programs have been described in the literature [10–13] . Michigan Tech and North Carolina State offer vertically integrated programs that give underclass through senior engineering students the opportunity to collaborate on entrepreneurial problems in a multi-disciplinary setting that is intended to model a business [14,15] . The University of Maryland’s Hinman CEO’s program [16] is a co-curricular program that also includes a residential, live-learn component. Standish-Kuon and Rice  \n[17] presented an overview of the entrepreneurship programs at six universities, and summarized relevant needs, assets and obstacles for creating them.  \nMost of the aforementioned authors cite the importance of technological innovation and entrepreneurship in economic development as a key factor that motivated the development of entrepreneurial courses and programs. However, there also exist strong rationales for integrating entrepreneurship into engineering education, beyond the obvious desire to promote entrepreneurial behavior in graduates. Coyle, et al. [18] call attention to the linkages between entrepreneurial skills, global/ societal issues and service learning. Ochs, et al.
