Abstract: In Fall 2000, the Clark School of Engineering at the University of Maryland, in cooperation with the Smith School of Business, created a unique residential entrepreneurship educational model -the Hinman Campus Entrepreneurship Opportunities (CEOs) Program.The program is based on an input/output model in which the input is undergraduate students with a strong entrepreneurial drive; the system is an incubator-like entrepreneurial community environment and a variety of resources including education, networking, teaming and mentoring; and the output is students with substantial entrepreneurial knowledge and experience in operating real companies.This paper profiles four venture models operated by current Hinman CEOs students including students who are creating both high-tech and low-tech for-profit businesses.
