Entrepreneurship education programs are commonly offered in business schools, but recently, the educationists have started recognizing the need for such programs in engineering education. This chapter is targeted to empirically explore the suitability of entrepreneurship education in engineering curriculum from the perspective of students. The study attempts to unearth the levels of willingness of engineering students to take entrepreneurial activities and investigate the factors that motivate them and the factors that deter them to go for entrepreneurship. The analysis revealed that the students are highly interested in taking entrepreneurship as a career option because of some intrinsic motivating factors such as being their own boss, chasing their dreams. They consider decision-making skills, risk-taking capacity, creativity, communication skills, and ability to prepare business plan are the most important skills. However, lack of experience and funds deter them. The right kind of entrepreneurship education programs can promote more entrepreneurial activities among the engineering students.

Building prototypes is an important part of the concept selection phase of the design process, where fuzzy ideas get represented to support communication and decision making. However, previous studies have shown that prototypes generate different levels of user feedback based on their fidelity and aesthetics. Furthermore, prior research on concept selection has shown that individual risk attitude effects how individuals select ideas, as creative ideas are perceived to be riskier in comparison to less creative ideas. While the role of risk has been investigated in concept selection, there is lack of research on how risk is related to the selection of prototypes at various levels of fidelity. Thus, the purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of prototype fidelity, concept creativity, and risk aversion, on perceived riskiness and concept selection through a between-subjects study with 72 engineering students. The results revealed that there was a “goldilocks” effect in which students choose concepts with “just the right amount” of novelty, not too much and not too little, as long as quality was adequate. In addition, the prototype fidelity of a concept had an interaction with uniqueness, indicating that unique concepts are more likely to be perceived as less risky if presented at higher levels of fidelity.

The upsurge in accessing and utilizing the internet and social networking sites for social activities predisposes adolescents and young adults globally to online harassment, Nigerian undergraduates inclusive. The impacts of online harassment have attracted many research interests, especially in the developed world and the dearth of inquiries among Nigerian undergraduates. This work inquired about the prevalence and forms of online harassment perpetrated by undergraduates in a Nigerian university. A descriptive research design was adopted, data were amassed utilizing a three-sectioned self-report form administered on a sample of 420 undergraduates. The selection of the sample was made following a multistage procedure. Percentage and univariate analysis techniques were used for data analysis. The result of the inquiry revealed widespread online harassment among the undergraduates of the university. All the forms of online harassment assessed were perpetrated; dog pilling topped the list (63.1%), followed by trolling (44.0%). The high rate of occurrence demands the urgent attention of the university authority, professionals across relevant fields should create awareness; the need to develop interventions and policies to deal with online harassment is obvious

Supporting entrepreneurship and innovation has always been the important to the Sultanate of Oman’s future. This research will shed light on the effectiveness of entrepreneurship education on the development of entrepreneurial activities in Oman. Large number of studies have concerned about entrepreneurship education, and entrepreneurial intention, but very few studies focusing on the how and why entrepreneurship education influences and their impact on entrepreneurial intention. Therefore, the objective of our study is to identify the impact of entrepreneurship education on entrepreneurship intention among undergraduate students in Oman. A survey questionnaire is used as the primary data collection tool by way of an online survey, and a sample from public and private Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Oman. The sample will consist of two groups selected among a population of undergraduate students who are in their final semester of study, and from those who have graduated during the previous two years. As this research is still in progress, we are expecting to collect a sample exceeding two hundred questionnaires. Preliminary testing of the model indicates that the survey instrument of this study is a fair, valid, and reliable method with which to conduct this field data collection. The research findings are expected to contribute to a greater understanding of the relationship between the various components of entrepreneurship education and the entrepreneurial intention of those undergraduate students from the target populations. Since increasing attention has been given to entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship education in Oman, in recent years, it is expected that the findings of this research will reveal the effectiveness of such programs in enhancing the potential of students to enable them to become effective, self-employed, entrepreneurs.

Ecuador es un país rico en cultura y naturaleza, que posee un creciente número de visitantes y turistas nacionales que recorren el país. La actividad turística es necesaria para todas las personas ya que además de ayudar a prevenir el estrés, es una actividad integral que involucra a hombres, mujeres, jóvenes y ancianos que permite tener nuevas experiencias con paisajes, culturas, religión y comidas típicas. La investigación realizada tiene como propósito identificar los factores socioeconómicos que influyen en la toma de decisiones del turista interno para realizar viajes. En esta investigación cuantitativa y descriptiva se aplicaron encuestas para analizar la incidencia de los factores sociales y económicos en el comportamiento del turista al momento de elegir un destino para las vacaciones. Los resultados evidencian que la mayoría de las personas deciden realizar turismo nacional de preferencia por la región de la costa y la sierra, que suelen hospedarse en lugares ofrecidos por los amigos o familiares por lo que sus gastos se enfocan fundamentalmente en alimentación y transporte, y que acuden muy poco a la asesoría de agencias turísticas ya que suelen recorrer lugares conocidos o recomendados por los amigos o parientes. Abstract Ecuador is a rich country in culture and nature, which has a growing number of visitors and national tourists visiting the country. Tourist activity is necessary for all people as well as helping to prevent stress, it is an integral activity that involves men, women, and young and old that allows new experiences with landscapes, cultures, religion and traditional food. The research aims to identify socioeconomic factors that influence the decision making of domestic tourists for trips. In this quantitative and descriptive research, surveys were conducted to analyze the impact of social and economic factors in the behavior of tourists when choosing a destination for holidays. The results show that most people decide to make domestic tourism preferably around the coast and the highland region, and usually stay in places offered by friends or family so their expenses are mainly focused on food and transport, and they look for very little advice from tourist agencies as they often go to known places recommended by friends or relatives.
