 Abstract:

The reasons underlying this research are those that have led to the need for continuous entrepreneurial education and training of economist engineers, by designing and accrediting a Master's degree program, in order to continually increase the quality of the professional and transversal skills of economist engineers, so as their education and training becomes adequate for the requirements of the changing labor market, in the present and future conditions of Romania's economic situation. The research method that responds best to this approach is the case study. It answers the questions "how" and "why", in the situation where the complexity of entrepreneurship on the labor market is unpredictable in the current state of Romania’s economic structure. The case study architecture allows us to determine: the questions of the case; the hypothesis; the analysis units; the preliminary theories about the continuous entrepreneurial education and training of economist engineers; the types of entrepreneurship for which the economist engineers have to learn and develop continuously, in order to achieve an increase in their qualitative professional skills; the matrix of knowledge from different disciplines in the curriculum of the Master's degree program; entrepreneurship simulation programs in the Laboratory of Entrepreneurial Education and Training. Last but not least, it gives the opportunity to collect data, analyze it and draw conclusions about the continuing education and training of economist engineers. Practically it aims at the innovation of the economist engineer profession. This paper relies on and continues our previous research on the initial training of economist engineers, in the field of engineering and management studies.
