This study builds on existing literatures, selected journals, books, reports, and websites and employing content analysis method to derive the outcome. This paper finds that entrepreneurship education is an important element to be applied across all academic disciplines, and relevant stakeholders play a very crucial role in the implementation of entrepreneurship education in engineering curriculum. This paper concludes with some proposals as well as recommendation for future research.
