[Audio] module HANDOUT Course: BS Civil Engineering (B-S-C-E-) Subject: Technopreneurship Module Title: Technopreneurship and Innovation in Engineering Practice Module Overview This module introduces Civil Engineering students to the concepts of technopreneurship and innovation. It emphasizes the application of technology and entrepreneurial thinking in engineering related business ventures, infrastructure solutions, and construction innovation. CHED-Aligned Learning Outcomes Analyze engineering related organizations using Swot analysis Identify issues and challenges in technopreneurship within engineering practice Explain factors affecting technopreneurial ventures in the construction and infrastructure sector Describe the process of creating a startup ecosystem relevant to engineering innovation Develop a basic IT-enabled business plan applicable to civil engineering services Lesson 1: Swot Analysis in Engineering Organizations Swot Analysis helps engineering firms evaluate their internal capabilities and external environment. It is used in construction companies, consulting firms, and infrastructure startups. Strengths: Licensed engineers, technical expertise, modern equipment Weaknesses: High capital requirements, project delays Opportunities: Infrastructure development, smart cities, government projects Threats: Strong competitors, economic downturns, regulatory changes Lesson 2: Issues in Technopreneurship and Innovation Engineering technopreneurs face issues such as funding constraints, adoption of new construction technologies, skills mismatch, and resistance to innovation within traditional engineering practices. Lesson 3: Factors Affecting Technopreneurship in Civil Engineering Technological: B-I-M--, automation, smart construction tools Economic: Project financing, material costs Human: Engineering skills, leadership, innovation mindset Legal: Building codes, safety regulations, permits Social: Urbanization, sustainability demands Lesson 4: Startup Ecosystem for Engineering Innovation A startup ecosystem supports engineering innovation through collaboration among universities, government agencies, private firms, incubators, and investors..
