Through entrepreneurial education, students learn how to be innovative and how to create new methods in every profession and business by identifying their own abilities, capabilities and ambitions. Benefiting from operational and practical educations in workshops and labs, they can attempt to find strong and weak points and threats and opportunities in their own field of study and also in their environment and try to create new opportunities. Through entrepreneurial educations, not only will the students be equipped with skills such as decision making, problem solving, goal setting, critical thinking, creative thinking and etc., but also, they learn scientific, practical and demand-driven skills and abilities.
