The conventional entrepreneurial education approach overemphasis on skill development for opportunity exploitation and pay very little attention on how opportunities are identified beyond a surface-level discussion. If our target is to increase the number of entrepreneurs then entrepreneurship courses and training programs should include both the theoretical and practical characteristics of entrepreneurship. The Entrepreneurial Education, Alertness and Intention (EEAI) model presented in this thesis book consider both aspects. This model focus on enhancing the opportunity identification skills by strengthening entrepreneurial alertness to have an impact on the entrepreneurial intention of the students through entrepreneurial education. The EEAI model suggests that theoretical and practical knowledge of entrepreneurship should be taught through method approach. Because entrepreneurial education through method approach could be useful for students in developing the understanding, practicing the knowledge, skills and techniques for entrepreneurship. Therefore (EEAI) model can be useful for curriculum design and teaching of entrepreneurship for increasing supply of entrepreneurs.
