Academic papers on entrepreneurship education in engineering have been growing over the last decades and have presented analyses about students' entrepreneurship development from many points of view. The Entrepreneurial Metamodel proposed by Filion presents the five entrepreneurial skills inseparable and necessary for entrepreneurs (vision, weltanschauung, leadership, energy, and networking). These skills are essential for engineers and leaders working under the entrepreneurship paradigm. Nevertheless, there are few studies proposing, implementing, and evaluating tools aimed to foster the entrepreneurial skills development on engineering students, leaving an open gap on the international academic literature. This study addresses this gap and has the goal to explore, validate and evaluate by a statistical analysis the implementation of a tool named Entrepreneurship Dynamic Learning (EDLE). The EDLE tool intends to foster the Filion's Entrepreneurial Metamodel skills development on engineering students. The study is exploratory and adopts multiple case study methodology. As from the EDLE tool implementation in an Entrepreneurship course offered to engineering undergraduate programs at a Brazilian public university, students from 12 different classrooms between 2015 and 2017 indicated the main three Filion's Entrepreneurial Metamodel skills (among the five ones) which had the most significant development in the course. After that, the possible differences about Filion's Entrepreneurial Metamodel skills development among the classrooms were evaluated using a statistical software. The results indicate that the EDLE tool fostered the Filion's Entrepreneurial Metamodel skills development on engineering students over the classes, validating its implementation, and have practical implications.
