&gt; I have a feeling that if you started telling medicine&#x2F;architecture&#x2F;engineering&#x2F;science departments that they need to start teaching students about entrepreneurial skills, and that students need to spend their spare time working on projects and battling for internships or they&#x27;ll likely remain unemployed, that you&#x27;d be laughed out of the building.<p>Do you know why engineering students join the Solar Car team, or EngSoc, or do internships? The fact that it looks good on a job application is almost always a component.<p>It&#x27;s not just a small thing either. At my current university, the engineering internship program has a 70-80% participation rate.
