The purpose of introducing this course is to inculcate entrepreneurial skills and improve their future career opportunities. This paper outlines the course and teaching methodology implemented at S R Engineering College an autonomous institute in Telangana. The objective of Technology entrepreneurship course which is offered to B.Tech second and third year students as an open elective is to motivate them towards starting a venture. Teaching of regular entrepreneurship theory is done by following traditional teaching method. Pain storming is the method used at the beginning of the course which leads to opportunity recognition and students works to build their enterprising concept based on that.
