Abstract: Developing entrepreneurial skills and attitudes has become an important goal for educatorsin higher education and also in teacher education. One problem in this is associated withidentifying the content of the entrepreneurship competence of educators and integratingthis into engineering education. The aim of this article is to identify and assess theentrepreneurship competence of engineering educators and its relationship with othercompetences in engineering pedagogy. The survey is based on the IGIP model of competencesfor engineering pedagogy, which is complemented with new dimensions of entrepreneurshipcompetence. The results of the study indicate that educators consider themselves mostentrepreneurial in their attitude toward learners and entrepreneurship. The sub-competence“support for entrepreneurial learning†correlates with all competences of engineeringpedagogy and has the strongest relationship between the reflective and developmentalcompetences among educators in engineering pedagogy.
