In today’s rapidly evolving world, the demand for entrepreneurial and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) skills is skyrocketing. As a result, higher education institutions are increasingly recognizing the importance of integrating Entrepreneurial-STEM (E-STEM) learning into their curricula. E-STEM learning combines the principles of entrepreneurship with STEM disciplines and fosters entrepreneurial competencies among students. Apparently, entrepreneurial context and STEM context share some common goals because both aim to develop students’ problem-solving, critical thinking, and creativity. These competencies are not limited to STEM practitioners, but they are fundamental for entrepreneurs. Infusing E into STEM will encourage students to focus on the need for designs, the functionality of their products, how to provide high-quality designs with less cost, when to take risks, or start a new business. This article explores the significance of E-STEM learning in higher education, emphasizing the need for collaboration and the critical role E-STEM leaders play in enhancing E-STEM practices in educational organizations.
