This $349,957 federal Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University aims to advance understanding of technology-based social entrepreneurship education for engineering students. The research will investigate how engineers who have founded technology social ventures identify business opportunities to solve societal problems, and the necessary competencies for successful technology-based social entrepreneurship. Based on these findings, the project team will develop a measurement instrument to assess these competencies in undergraduate engineering students. This will provide a foundation for enhancing technology-based social entrepreneurship education for engineering and other students. The project will also produce new undergraduate and graduate course modules informed by the research. The award period is from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2026. There are no planned sub-awards for this project.
