== Inspiring Design Thinking ==

Although the culture of innovation and entrepreneurship at MSU has come a long way in the last few years, there’s still a lot of room to grow. Many students, especially underclassmen, do not even have innovation and entrepreneurship on their radar, This unfortunate truth presents an opportunity to provide students with accessible and exciting opportunities to learn about innovation and entrepreneurship early on.

== Encouraging the Pursuit of Innovation and Entrepreneurship ==

Students are currently becoming more and more interested by the process of  entrepreneurship yet aren’t encouraged to follow the this route in major degrees here at Michigan State University. It is important that the campus culture encourages students to pursue their entrepreneurial goals as well as inspire capable and innovative students to follow the route of entrepreneurship throughout their studies and following graduation.

== Providing Tools for Realizing Entrepreneurial Goals ==

Once students at Michigan State decide they have a desire to pursue their innovation and entrepreneurship goals, then they can begin to utilize the resources provided at MSU. A large part of the resources provided here are sustainable but may leave students unable to determine how to use this skill for their major. It is important that students leave the university with the tools necessary to maintain their innovation and entrepreneurship independently and successfully to use in their future careers.

In order to do this, we have decided to hold a monthly innovation and entrepreneurship workshop. This workshop will be lead by students for students. In this workshop, students will be introduced to design thinking processes in parallel with business model processes. Our goal is not to make every student at MSU a user experience designer or business owner, but to teach students these mindsets in hopes that it will make them better at whatever it is they are pursuing.

== Encouraging the Pursuit of Entrepreneurship ==

Students are currently both intimidated by entrepreneurship and encouraged to follow the corporate route in engineering at Michigan State University. It is important that the campus culture encourages students to pursue their entrepreneurial goals as well as inspire capable and innovative students to follow the route of entrepreneurship throughout their studies and following graduation.

===  Strategy #1: Work entrepreneurship into the curriculum ===

 The general curriculum engineers go through should inspire students to seek out and pursue their entrepreneurial potential and make entrepreneurship and innovation accessible to all students.

=== Strategy #2:  Hold regular presentations and speeches by engineers who pursued entrepreneurship ===

Knowing that others have followed entrepreneurship and have made it through the same point where the students are currently at will empower students to pursue the "big bad beast" of entrepreneurship.

== Providing Tools for Realizing Entrepreneurial Goals ==

Once students at Michigan State decide they have the confidence and desire to follow entepreneurship, they quickly realize that they lack the tools necessary to do so. A large part of this problem is satisfied by the Innovation Center in the Business College, but it’s important that students leave the university with the tools necessary to maintain their entrepreneurship independently and successfully.

===  Strategy #1: Provide an entrepreneurship concentration within all engineering majors; specifically designed for entrepreneurship in their field ===

These specialized classes will focus on students who know that they eventually want to pursue entrepreneurship, but do not know what their next steps are. There will be business classes on business model development and how to get capital, as well as classes on what entrepreneurship looks like in their field, some of which may range from patent writing and processes to software development and consumer testing.

               

=== Strategy #2: Provide seminars on business design and entrepreneurship strategies ===

For those students that do not have the space in their curriculum to add entrepreneurship to their degree but still would like to add these skills to their skill set, or for those relatively familiar with the entire process and only need classes in specialized areas, independent co-curricular seminars should be held on isolated subjects. For instance, a brief seminar on patent writing may suit students better who are at a particular point in their entrepreneurial track but need a little extra information.

== Promoting Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship ==

<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Michigan State University is at the developing stages of undergraduate student innovation and entrepreneurship and has very few engagement in any graduate student promotion in the field. The bulk of the undergraduate student promotion of innovation and entrepreneurship is occurring at a much better succession rate compared to last year. We have accumulated many students - underclassmen and upperclassmen - from a variety of majors to join the minor in Entrepreneurship & Innovation as well as utilize the resources MSU provides.

<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In terms of undergraduate facilities, Michigan State University sponsors a variety of incubators, such as The Hatch, and has many office spaces for young entrepreneurs to venture forth from, such as the Neo Center and the Technology Innovation Center. From here Michigan State has a variety of sources for funding and continued support such as a wide network of alumni and business relations which the department eagerly connects with promising university entrepreneurs. In addition,  we have local businesses such as LEAP, which offers free resource to help develop student’s idea.

<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Compared to previous years, Michigan State provides a slew of workshops, resources, and classes for early-stage development. While the tools are there for entrepreneurs to realize their concepts and make them a reality, students are sometimes unaware of the resources available to them, intimidated by the idea of entrepreneurship, uneducated in the basics of entrepreneurial efforts, or too strongly encouraged down the industry path to even consider entrepreneurship. This is an area which requires massive improvement on campus. The tools and accessibility of entrepreneurship need to be better marketed to students starting early in their academic career.

== Encouraging Faculty Innovation and Entrepreneurship ==

<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Faculty Innovation is strong at Michigan State University. The pipeline from idea to startup for faculty is well developed and supported by the university. From patent development to funding and business model development, Michigan State gives their faculty all the tools they need to become startup CEOs.

By providing patent and technology support, students are empowered to innovate without needing to worry about licenses and patents. You can find out more about the Technology Transfer process [https://technologies.msu.edu/researchers/tech-transfer-process <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">here]<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">.

The University constantly strives to give their students the best opportunities industry has to offer them. From constantly involving industry representatives in the designing of their curriculum, especially in the college of engineering, to holding massive career fairs with all forms of companies represented, Michigan State knows how to connect students with industry. Much of the curriculum even includes different strategies for students to independently connect with industry representatives through resume building, classes on proper social media usage, and pre-career gallery coaching. Many colleges even include centers for connecting students to faculty, one of which is the college of engineering which has an extremely strong career center.

== Engaging with Regional and Local Economic Development Efforts ==

<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Much of the funding for startup entrepreneurs at Michigan State comes from regional development efforts and economic support grants. The community is actively involved in increasing the entrepreneurship coming out of the university in an effort to strengthen the area economically. In response, Michigan State gives a lot back to the community through increasing startup company activity.

If there is only one thing to take away from this page it is this: Michigan State University has unparalleled University-Industry Collaboration. The University constantly strives to give their students the best opportunities industry has to offer them. From constantly involving industry representatives in the designing of their curriculum, especially so in the college of engineering, to holding massive career fairs with all forms of companies represented, Michigan State is extremely good at connecting students with industry. Much of the curriculum even includes different strategies for students to independently connect with industry representatives through resume building, classes on proper social media usage and pre-career gallery coaching. Many colleges even include centers for connecting students to faculty, one of which is the college of engineering which has an extremely strong career center.

== Engaging with Regional and Local Economic Development Efforts ==

Much of the funding for startup entrepreneurs at Michigan State comes from regional development efforts and economic support grants. The community is actively involved in increasing the entrepreneurship coming out of the university in an effort to strengthen the area economically. In response Michigan State gives a lot back to the community through increasing startup company activity.

== Promoting Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship ==

<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Michigan State University is at the developing stages of undergraduate student innovation and entrepreneurship and has very few engagement in any graduate student promotion in the field. The bulk of the undergraduate student promotion of innovation and entrepreneurship is occurring at a much better succession rate compared to last year. We have accumulated many students - underclassmen and upperclassmen - from a variety of majors to join the minor in Entrepreneurship & Innovation as well as utilize the resources MSU provides.

<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In terms of undergraduate facilities, Michigan State University sponsors a variety of incubators, such as The Hatch, and has many office spaces for young entrepreneurs to venture forth from, such as the Neo Center and the Technology Innovation Center. From here Michigan State has a variety of sources for funding and continued support such as a wide network of alumni and business relations which the department eagerly connects with promising university entrepreneurs. In addition,  we have local businesses such as LEAP, which offers free resource to help develop student’s idea.

<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Compared to previous years, Michigan State provides a slew of workshops, resources, and classes for early-stage development. While the tools are there for entrepreneurs to realize their concepts and make them a reality, students are sometimes unaware of the resources available to them, intimidated by the idea of entrepreneurship, uneducated in the basics of entrepreneurial efforts, or too strongly encouraged down the industry path to even consider entrepreneurship. This is an area which requires massive improvement on campus. The tools and accessibility of entrepreneurship need to be better marketed to students starting early in their academic career.

== Encouraging Faculty Innovation and Entrepreneurship ==

<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Faculty Innovation is strong at Michigan State University. The pipeline from idea to startup for faculty is well developed and supported by the university. From patent development to funding and business model development, Michigan State gives their faculty all the tools they need to become startup CEOs.

== Actively Supporting the University Technology Transfer Function ==

The Technology Transfer offices at Michigan State are new, less than two years old, but rapidly growing and supporting students in a significant way. As of today the Innovation Center houses 80 undergraduate entrepreneurial groups through funding, incubation space, office space and professional connections. They also fund networking events and conference trips. Michigan State University also has a strong pipeline for strong faculty ideas through patent and technology support and resident CEOs which can assist them in the preliminary startup of their company and expanding their technology into a larger scale.
