Entrepreneurs keep the economy and society going by implementing new ideas. Entrepreneurship competencies such as creativity, risk tolerance or perseverance do not only emerge in professional life, but are already developed in early phases of socialization. Entrepreneurship education with its strongly action-oriented teaching and learning formats plays a triggering and process-reinforcing role in this respect. However, the competencies acquired through entrepreneurship education are also increasingly important for successful action in dependent employment. This article first shows that the goals and means of Entrepreneurship Education harmonize with the high practical relevance of teaching required by the Austrian Universities of Applied Sciences Act. Against this background, a concrete example of implementation is used to illustrate how the curricular anchoring of a student project in an engineering course can promote not only the practical relevance of teaching, but also the teaching of entrepreneurial competencies and the transfer of innovation between the university and industry.
