The pivotal role of Entrepreneurship centers in the development of Entrepreneurship Education (EE) is receiving more attention. This study aims to open the “black box” of “how, when, why and what” entrepreneurial mindset and competencies in the field of technology entrepreneurship are learned over time in the Entrepreneurship Centers. The study adopts an empirical web-based content analysis of ten entrepreneurship centers in European Universities from seven countries, analyzing 105 curricular and extra-curricular entrepreneurship education programs. This method allows researchers to address generalization bias and to effectuate a cross-case comparison, thus revealing more common patterns regarding the phenomenon. Findings reveal some common pillars of EE as developed within the Entrepreneurship centers in terms of five key dimensions: target audience, learning objectives, entrepreneurship contents, learning pedagogies and stakeholders’ engagement. This analysis provides the basis to introduce a process-based framework for entrepreneurial mindset creation in EE that is organized around four main phases: inspiration, engagement, exploitation and sustainment. The process-based model of EE supports entrepreneurship centers in designing learning initiatives that are aimed to inspire students at all levels of education, young entrepreneurs and start-uppers and scientists in their need to be equipped with an entrepreneurial mindset for technology entrepreneurship. The originality of the paper stands on the “process-based” framework that is proposed that serves as an interactive pathway that dynamically combines the phases toward entrepreneurial venture creation, the entrepreneurial competence level, the entrepreneurial learning strategies and collaboration with the University’s stakeholders’ network toward the achievement of the competence goal.

AbstractTechnology entrepreneurship refers to processes by which entrepreneurs use resources, and technical systems through collaborative exploration and experimentation to pursue opportunities. The purpose of this study is to explore the role of technology entrepreneurship to increase the intention and motivation of engineering students to establish and manage sustainable new ventures and commercialization of technologies developed in university laboratories. Quantitative data were collected via a questionnaire-based by investigating whether engineering students have sufficient entrepreneurial skills to evaluate opportunity, developing new products, and recognizing potential market applications. Engineering students need to be able to exploit opportunities that rely on scientific and technical knowledge to create and capture value by launch new venture. Our important findings have a series of important practical implications for managers, engineering students, engineers, and scientists interested in encouraging economic growth. For example, technology entrepreneurship education increases the intention to start a business and stimulates the activities in a group setting and a network context because of increasing global competition based on agility, creativity and innovation. The findings of the study also provide practical implications suggest that increasing engineering students understanding and awareness of entrepreneurship lead to greater levels of interest in entrepreneurship careers.

Business technology is developed with the occurrence of synergy between Teknopreneur as and business, University and Research as a new technology innovation center, and the Venture capitalist will fund the business. </em><em> U</em><em>niversity</em><em> </em><em> in motivating the scholar to become the Businessman was very important in cultivating the number of businessmen. With the increase from the scholar's circle will reduce the increase in the number of unemployments in fact increased the number of fields on the work.

The role of his one it was explained by (Thomas Zimmerer) that one of the motive factors of the growth of entrepreneurship was entrepreneurship education. Moreover (Douglas A.Gray) suggested to begin efforts since early for example when still the lecture. Whereas the data in an empirical manner also was obtained through the research that was carried out to the </em><em>student</em><em> of the University about the factor most dominant motivated the alumnus to wirausahawan. Results of this research mentioned that the opportunity factor that pushed the </em><em>dtudent and </em><em>alumnus decided to become Te</em><em>ch</em><em>noprenur. With our success  </em><em> </em><em>g</em><em>e</em><em>t help from the Student's Program entrepreneurs we formed Te</em><em>ch</em><em>nopreurship Center,yang could help the interested student in an effort to in the IT field.</em></p><p><strong><em>Keywords :</em></strong><em> Te</em><em>ch</em><em>nopreneur</em><em>, University</em></p><p class="SammaryHeader" align="center"><strong>ABSTRAK</strong></p><p><em>Technopreneur merupakan gabungan teknologi dan wirausaha, Technopreneur  mengembangkan bisnis dengan kemampuan untuk menerapkan  ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi, yang dikembangkan oleh usaha  Teknopreneur yang dikenal sebagai bisnis dengan teknologi. Bisnis teknologi dikembangkan dengan adanya sinergi antara Teknopreneur dan bidang usaha, Universitas sebagai pusat inovasi teknologi baru, dan bidang usaha besar   akan mendanai bisnis tersebut. Universitas dalam memotivasi sarjana untuk menjadi Pengusaha sangat penting dalam menumbuhkan jumlah pengusaha. Dengan bertambahnya dari peneliti dan usahanwan muda akan mengurangi peningkatan jumlah pengangguran bahkan meningkatkan jumlah bidang pada pekerjaan. Pertanyaannya adalah bagaimana pihak universitas dapat membuat Technopreneur. Peranannya dijelaskan oleh (Thomas Zimmerer) bahwa salah satu faktor pendorong pertumbuhan kewirausahaan adalah pendidikan kewirausahaan. Apalagi (Douglas A.Gray) menyarankan untuk memulai dari sejak dini misalnya saat masih proses perkuliahan. Sedangkan data secara empiris juga diperoleh melalui penelitian yang dilakukan kepada mahasiswa Universitas tentang faktor yang paling dominan memotivasi alumni untuk wirausahawan. Hasil penelitian ini menyebutkan bahwa faktor peluang yang mendorong mahasiswa dan alumni memutuskan untuk menjadi Technoprenur. Dengan kesuksesan kami mendapatkan bantuan dari para Program kreativias Mahasiswa, kami membentuk Technopreurship Center, yang dapat membantu mahasiswa yang tertarik dalam upaya di bidang TI</em></p><strong><em>Kata kunci : </em></strong><em>Teknologi Wirausaha, Universitas</em>

Technoethics is a new, but rapidly developing field of ethical reflection of technoscience. It can claim to unite the various ethical projections of the science and technology development in a common approach. One of the starting points of understanding this role of technoethics may be NBIC-convergence. The ethical dimensions of the NBIC-projects is represented in these sub-areas of applied ethics as a nanoethics, bioethics, neuroethics and ICT ethics. In this article particular attention is paid to the biomedical field, which is a prime example of innovative high technology, as well as the interaction of different types of ethics.

This chapter assesses China’s science and technology (S&T) progress through the lens of the patenting literature in the context of China. In particular, after presenting an overview of China’s patent production over the past twenty-five years, it investigates the following questions: What accounts for China’s patent surge? What are the implications of the surge for patent quality? Does the nature of the patenting reveal China’s S&T direction and comparative advantage? How has the international sector affected China’s patent production? What has been the role of the government—the central, provincial, and local governments—in shaping patent production? And finally, how heterogeneous is China’s regional patent production; are patenting capabilities diffusing across China?
