AbstractThere are several key external challenges to be mastered in the transition from the traditional university towards entrepreneurial university which are transformed into internal challenges. Unlike the business schools the management structures and environment of an university of technology may be often very cautious about implementation of the entrepreneurial elements in the technology and science study and research programmes. Often they have to be confronted by the requirements of students and businesses for more entrepreneurship education and skills in the university graduate profiles to accept this. This paper examines fundamental challenges of implementation of the concept of entrepreneurial university in two European universities of technology with direct central public funding which gradually covers less and less its future development needs. The current status of transformation towards an entrepreneurial university at the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava compared to the University of Technology Ilmenau is described, analyzed and the next steps put forward.

The European entrepreneurial university is based on the teaching mission of the university, whereas US academic entrepreneurship is typically an extension of the research mission. Recognizing that the European professoriate has traditionally been more removed from entrepreneurship than its US counterpart, some European universities have organized programmes to train students to develop start-up firms. Nevertheless, given similar goals of encouraging science-based regional development, and increasing the returns to the university from its research and other activities, it can be expected that European and US universities will adopt each other's entrepreneurial formats in coming years.

A readySTEMgo projekt hat európai egyetem: a KU Leuven, a Hamburg University of Technology, a University of Zilina, a Birmingham University, az Aalto University és a Budapesti Műszaki és Gazdaságtudományi Egyetem együttműködése, melynek elsődleges célja olyan javaslatok megfogalmazása, melyekkel a STEM tanulmányokat folytató hallgatók lemorzsolódása csökkenthető. A projekt diagnosztikai célú felmérésekkel vizsgálja a frissen felvett hallgatók készségeit, tanulási szokásait, megállapítja a veszélyben lévő hallgatók csoportját és ezek támogatására, felzárkóztatására szolgáló módszereket, eszközöket javasol. Ismertetjük a BME hat szakán 2015-ben közel 1000 fős mintán végzett felmérés kérdéseit és a felmérésből levonható tanulságokat. Hazánkban nem történt eddig hasonló felmérés, először vesz részt magyar egyetem ilyen projektben. AbstractEarly recognition of STEM skills in higher education to reduce drop-out The readySTEMgo project covers the cooperation of six European universities: KU Leuven, the Hamburg University of Technology, the University of Zilina, Birmingham University, Aalto University and the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME), aiming at the elaboration of proposals reducing the drop-out of STEM students. The project surveys the skills and learning habits of the new students, identifies the group of the endangered students and proposes methods and tools supporting them and their closing up. We present the questions of the survey implemented in 2015 at six programmes of the BME, on a 1000-person sample as well as the conclusions of the survey. In Hungary, there has been no similar survey so far, this is the first time that a Hungarian University is involved in such a project.

The University of Limerick is only 20 years old, but from the start it has been an important channel for technology transfer. Transfer is achieved in several ways, but mainly through academic and research programmes. It is assisted by the University's strategy to be relevant to the economic needs of the country; to be European in outlook; and to look to partnerships internationally, especially with the USA and Japan. Setting his comments in the framework of the key objective of the University's programmes – to address the challenges and constraints that face the future development of the national economy – John McGinn shows how the many efforts of the University of Limerick in the field of technology transfer are benefitting the University and its graduates, as well as industry and the growing Irish economy.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore the provision and reported outcomes of Experiential Entrepreneurship Education (EEE), from learner, educator and university perspectives, in order to reflect upon the progress of the Entrepreneurial University. It proposes a conceptual framework for integrating the multiple stakeholder perspectives for an “education led” and student-focused Entrepreneurial University, something yet to be identified from existing research and, consequentially, future research.Design/methodology/approachA reflective literature review explores the depth and breadth of EEE provision in Universities, noting: what is taking place, who is involved, where EEE is situated (within the university context), and how the knowledge base is informed. From these reflections, a conceptual framework is proposed as a means of exploring and categorizing progress towards a student-focused Entrepreneurial University through education experiences.FindingsThe literature review is largely informed by case studies developed by educators reflecting on student learner experiences for the purpose of course enhancement. These case exemplars provide the resource for emergent, bottom-up strategy that could support the Entrepreneurial University. However, the role of the University is less researched, in terms of providing context and external strategic relationships to resource EEE and deliver a more planned approach to the Entrepreneurial University. The Entrepreneurial University and EEE are mainstream agendas and the development of both must consider the role and contribution of the University in terms of strategy formulation and implementation.Originality/valueThis study takes a holistic view, seeing EEE and the Entrepreneurial University as connected agendas. The student-focused Entrepreneurial University cannot result from emergent, bottom-up strategy alone and thus there is a need to address the role of top-down resource-based University strategy in creating real progress. The paper provides a conceptualization, for the purpose of analysing and informing the relationship between EEE and the Entrepreneurial University that places the University as a key stakeholder, and in doing so asks that scholars and educators build the knowledge base not only from cases of good practice but also from the review of strategic management within Universities.

AbstractThe Perth Astronomy Research Group (PARG), consisting of members from Curtin University of Technology, Perth Observatory and the University of Western Australia, is in the process of developing an automated supernova search system, using the 61-cm Lowell-Perth reflector, a CCD camera and an 80386-based computer for image analysis. Computer control of the telescope and dome, a liquid-nitrogen-cooled CCD camera, and modified VISTA image analysis software will be completed in late 1990, allowing initial semi-automatic searching of external galaxies, together with CCD photometry of flare stars and newly discovered supernovae. Full-scale automation will be introduced subsequently, in collaboration with the Berkeley group. This paper describes the project, and reports on its current status.

Purpose – The university is an institution with a long history and, over the course of the centuries, it has gone through several stages in its development. While initially conceived as an institution with a teaching “mission,” the university later adopted a knowledge generation function (research). In recent years, the idea has emerged that the university is assuming a “third mission”: contributing to society and economic development more directly; turning the university into an Entrepreneurial University. What, however, constitutes this Entrepreneurial University? Are all Entrepreneurial Universities composed of the same factors? The purpose of this paper is to answer these significant questions, through an empirical analysis performed on a sample of 59 Northern and Southern European universities. Design/methodology/approach – Empirical analysis performed on a sample of 59 Northern and Southern European universities. Findings – The findings show that students’ spin-off firm formation is the only different result for an Entrepreneurial University between Northern and Southern European universities and that the core internal entrepreneurship support factors are different for both geographical locations. Originality/value – Besides, regarding external entrepreneurship support factors, results show that a supportive institutional context is a core element for promoting internal entrepreneurship support factors and in turn for increasing students’ spin-off firm formation in both Northern and Southern universities.

Food handler still fails to play their part even when the government imposes “No Plastic Bag” campaign and a ban on polystyrene foam to pack foods. This research focuses on eco-friendly food packaging based on the perception and practice of young consumers, especially the undergraduates of Mara University of Technology Penang Campus (UiTMPP). Questionnaire was constructed and distributed to 315 respondents.  The collected data were analyzed with simple descriptive statistic of frequency, mean and standard deviation. Most of the respondents are aware on eco-friendlyfood packaging. They agreed that the university should propose some alternative to control and reduce non-biodegradable foods packaging.

Rotating Detonation

AbstractThe idea of using the phenomenon of rotating detonation to propulsion has its roots in fifties of the last century in works of Adamson et al. and Nicholls et al. at the University of Michigan. The idea was recently reinvented and experimental research and numerical simulations on the Rotating Detonation Engine (RDE) are carried in numerous institutions worldwide, in Poland at Warsaw University of Technology (WUT) since 2004. Over the period 2010-2014 WUT and Institute of Aviation (IOA) jointly implemented the project under the Innovative Economy Operational Programme entitled ‘Turbine engine with detonation combustion chamber’. The goal of the project was to replace the combustion chamber of turboshaft engine GTD-350 with the annular detonation chamber.This paper is focused on investigation of the influence of a geometry and flow conditions on the structure and propagation stability of the rotating detonation wave. Presented results are in majority an outcome of the aforementioned programme, in particular authors’ works on the development of the in-house code REFLOPS USG and its application to simulation of the rotating detonation propagation in the RDE.
