Abstract (EN): Currently, several technology-based entrepreneurship courses are being offered to non-business audiences, such as scientists. Their pedagogical approaches frequently rely on the case method. However, entrepreneurship education is more impactful when working with real technologies to address real problems. This is the case of some courses, in which scientists explore possible products, business models and commercialization roadmaps. To understand current practices in hands-on technology-based entrepreneurship education, we analyze four such courses. Students work with real technologies, identify real life problems and pursue technology-based solutions. The pedagogical approaches drive them through multiple iterations on solutions and business models, using in- formation from prospective users and customers. However, the courses do not start at the same stage of product or technology development, and do not have the same deliverables. We analyze their methodologies, durations, target audiences, learning tools, and final deliverables, so a foundation can be set to understand best practices in this area.
