The Impact of Project-Based Technology Management Courses on Alumni Entrepreneurial and Innovation Self-Efficacies.

This Work in Progress paper focuses on the impact of a project-based education program on the entrepreneurial and innovation self-efficacies of the program's alumni. The Social Cognitive Theory is the theoretical foundation of this study, which builds on a previous study conducted among mechanical engineering graduate students at Stanford University. The goal of this current research is to identify the career pathways of the alumni, how this education program impacted their entrepreneurial outcomes and innovation behaviors and provide analysis and recommendations to the program's teaching team. To achieve this a survey was deployed to 1000 program alumni, covering a 25-year span from 1998 to 2023.
