| Abstract : |
A great deal of enterprise teaching is carried out in business schools and has been for many years. The challenge of the UK's Science Enterprise Challenge was to extend enterprise teaching more thoroughly to science and engineering students. Whilst some of the centres launched under the initiative developed the activity of business schools there were notable exceptions.
This paper focuses on the work of White Rose Centre for Enterprise (WRCE), formed in 1999 as part of the UK Science Enterprise Challenge initiative. Its remit, like the other centres was to increase enterprise learning and entrepreneurship activity, thus bringing about a 'cultural change' in the universities in the collaboration. WRCE approach was to embed enterprise in the teaching programme of the science and engineering department and it sought to emphasize the need to make learning ‘real’ for the student and to weave an enterprise strand through the full course of study.
