Definitely, problem solving and financial literacy top the list. Without those, STEM grads struggle to turn ideas into viable ventures.

I wonder if forcing every department to add enterprise content might dilute the depth of core academic subjects.

Universities could start by creating short modules on entrepreneurship and invite local business leaders as guest lecturers.
