Executive Summary
Entrepreneurship is an increasingly core component of commercial work, and one for which students in highly technical fields are ill-prepared. Blended entrepreneurial programs (BEPs) are attempting to answer this need by merging university-level entrepreneurial education with discipline-focused degrees in STEAM fields. It hasn’t been easy. STEAM students often show a gravitation toward certainty and a low tolerance for risk — personal characteristics at odds with those traditionally associated with entrepreneurs.
