Identification of skills are very important in every field of study for any kind of output. Educators in engineering design education identified students skills to think as design thinkers and creative thinkers. However, no research is available on identifying the skills of Entrepreneurial Thinking. In this twenty-first century, entrepreneurial thinking is essential to learn and its helps students to solve the grand challenges on earth. Therefore, the present study’s objective is to identify entrepreneurial thinking skills; the semi-structured interviews were conducted with entrepreneurs and faculty members from academia (11) with backgrounds in design, engineering, business, and ergonomics. Natural language processing is used to identify common keywords using extract keywords with term frequency-inverse documents, yet another keyword extractor, rapid automatic keywords extraction, and topic modeling with latent semantic indexing techniques. Also, brainstorming sessions were held with design students to understand their minds and their thoughts about the skills required for entrepreneurial thinking. Lastly, the Euclidean distance matrix was used to compare identified skills (Faculty members/entrepreneurs) with design students (skills that come from their minds). The overall common skills of design students and faculty members and entrepreneurs are thinking, solution, leadership, and research with zero Euclidean distance. From this results, it has been found that the faculty members/entrepreneurs have the same understanding of the skills of entrepreneurial thinking, but design students have vague knowledge of entrepreneurial thinking skill set.

摘要

Identification of skills are very important in every field of study for any kind of output. Educators in engineering design education identified students skills to think as design thinkers and creative thinkers. However, no research is available on identifying the skills of Entrepreneurial Thinking. In this twenty-first century, entrepreneurial thinking is essential to learn and its helps students to solve the grand challenges on earth. Therefore, the present study’s objective is to identify entrepreneurial thinking skills; the semi-structured interviews were conducted with entrepreneurs and faculty members from academia (11) with backgrounds in design, engineering, business, and ergonomics. Natural language processing is used to identify common keywords using extract keywords with term frequency-inverse documents, yet another keyword extractor, rapid automatic keywords extraction, and topic modeling with latent semantic indexing techniques. Also, brainstorming sessions were held with design students to understand their minds and their thoughts about the skills required for entrepreneurial thinking. Lastly, the Euclidean distance matrix was used to compare identified skills (Faculty members/entrepreneurs) with design students (skills that come from their minds). The overall common skills of design students and faculty members and entrepreneurs are thinking, solution, leadership, and research with zero Euclidean distance. From this results, it has been found that the faculty members/entrepreneurs have the same understanding of the skills of entrepreneurial thinking, but design students have vague knowledge of entrepreneurial thinking skill set.
