    In accordance with the Lisbon European Council - 2000 it was identified entrepreneurship as one of the `new basic skills´ for the knowledge-based economy. This paper presents an interdisciplinary approach concerned the e-entrepreneurship education highlights introduced in the academic curriculum for the students of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science Department (EED) from “Transilvania” University of Brasov, Romania in the last ten school years. It experiences a successfully practices with the best results for the European and world track career of EED students. “E-Entrepreneurship” has accomplished a passive and an active component within the Electrical Engineering field, based on the propensity to induce changes oneself, and h a v i n g the ability to welcome and support innovation brought about by external factors, by welcoming change, taking responsibility for one´s actions, positive or negative, or to finish what we start, to know where we are going, to set objectives and meet them, and have the motivation to succeed in any human or technical progressing action [1,2].
