= Background =

We are the Milwaukee School of Engineering, where students pursue their passions in engineering, nursing, and business. We're dreamers, thinkers, makers and doers at a small university that is dedicated to achieving big things. From international plumbing competitions to ground-breaking medical innovations, our community is making the most out of their education. 

Innovation and entrepreneurship at MSOE starts with the community of learners who feel that I&E is a priority. MSOE takes this journey of I&E through five phases: Discover, Learn, Experiment, Pursue, and Spin Out. Discover begins by generating awareness, importance and fundamental elements of I&E to students. Students then realize I&E is important and we want to get involved in a deeper way when we Learn. Experiment to apply knowledge of I&E to a specific challenge/problem and form design teams or solo work to explore that potential. Students who Pursue are committing to an opportunity to license a technology, form or join a venture startup, or attain legal status. Finally, Spin Out to commercialize entities and pivot further to adapt innovations to the needs of the marketplace. MSOE's Landscape Canvas highlights I&E that is present at our university.

= <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 Commons =
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>'''Background''': The Commons is an entrepreneurial skills accelerator that drives students and young professionals through a process of Design Thinking in order to give a startup its foundation or execute a corporate challenge.</li>
<li>'''How it works''': Students apply and must be accepted to the program. Students then attend a kickoff weekend, are presented projects, pick a project, then spend 9 weeks going through processes of Customer Discovery, Ideation/Brainstorming, Defining a Problem, Creating a Solution, and Drafting a Business Plan. At the end of everything, the information is presented to the rest of the team in the form of a 4 minute pitch. Groups meet each Tuesday for 3 hours to run through the workshop of the week and often meet with each other one more time in the week, performing around 3-4 additional hours of work outside of the Tuesday sessions.</li>
<li>'''Mission''': For the students of Southeast Wisconsin’s colleges and universities, The Commons is an opportunity to get firmly planted in the region’s growing innovation economy. It's a chance to put skills to the test with real-world projects, work with talented peers and find the mentorship / networking opportunities that (pardon the cliche) are game-changers for their career paths. (thecommonswi.com)</li>
<li>'''Entrepreneurial Tie''': The Commons invokes the entrepreneurial mindset in students who will return to studies and careers in their respective fields with a new outlook.</li>
<li>'''Competitors''': I-Corps - but I-Corps targets a different audience, usually more so groups of students looking to develop their idea into a company. The Commons is able to help both the student looking to move forward their startup as well as the students who want to contribute to something and put to use the skills they’ve been learning in class.</li>
<li>'''Outcome''': Students return changed individuals to their universities and jobs. People who go through The Commons have a stronger tie to their entrepreneurial community, a passion for creativity and innovation, and the tools to handle any problem or project they may encounter.</li>
</ul>

<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Background: Students from Milwaukee universities attend a session</li>
<li>How it works: Students apply to the program in the early months of the year. Once accepted, the student teams gather weekly for a series of five weeks to work through a “Lean Startup” process that moves their project ideas forward quickly and with a good foundation. Students receive a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) at the end of the 5 weeks to move forward with the project.</li>
<li>Mission: Funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Milwaukee I-Corps Program offers researchers and entrepreneurs a chance to explore the viability of their technologies and ventures through the “Lean Startup” or “Lean Launch” process of direct engagement with the potential markets. Through a five-week workshop, participants are coached on designing and validating a business model around their idea and deciding whether the idea is a go/no-go decision based on their business model.  Regardless of the go/no-go outcome, teams will develop valuable skills in discovering the market – skills that will inform their research, business, and careers. ([http://icorpsmilwaukee.org http://icorpsmilwaukee.org])</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: Pushes forward student projects by providing them with a model to follow in order to gain progress as well as funding to accomplish things like prototyping, marketing, etc.</li>
<li>Competitors: The Commons - I-Corps focuses on getting projects to the stage of prototyping, so the project can make changes and pivot if need be. They get the projects through the rough part of honing in and creating a viable solution.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are encouraged to follow the inklings and create the ideas they think of. Students come out of I-Corps with the tools to move forward with prototyping and refining the solution the group has created. Students will also come out with the knowledge enabling them to reach out to additional investors to keep the project moving forward if that is what the group needs.</li>
</ul>

<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Background:  Students either kickstarting their Senior Design Project or Honors Servant Leadership Project may apply for up to $500 as seed funding.</li>
<li>How it works: Students fill out an application outlining the project, what the money will be used for, and why it’s important that they receive this seed money. There is a finite amount of funding, and it is dealt out first come first serve.</li>
<li>Mission: To enable students with projects to get off the ground and ensure they have a solid foundation to get off of. Going through the application process also forces the student, if they haven’t already, to aggregate and deliver the project concisely in a way that would warrant them funding.</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: The seed funding enables students to achieve goals more quickly as funding may be something holding students back from moving forward with their project.</li>
<li>Competitors: Any outside or inside investors - Senior Design Seed Funding however, is both certainly reliable and relatively easy to obtain compared to outside sources of funding like Angel Investors or Venture Capitalists.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are able to drive ideas forward with seed funding and likely have some money to fall back on later in the project.</li>

= Background =

We are the Milwaukee School of Engineering, where students pursue their passions in engineering, nursing, and business. We're dreamers, thinkers, makers and doers at a small university that is dedicated to achieving big things. From international plumbing competitions to ground-breaking medical innovations, our community is making the most out of their education. 

Innovation and entrepreneurship at MSOE starts with the community of learners who feel that I&E is a priority. MSOE takes this journey of I&E through five phases: Discover, Learn, Experiment, Pursue, and Spin Out. Discover begins by generating awareness, importance and fundamental elements of I&E to students. Students then realize I&E is important and we want to get involved in a deeper way when we Learn. Experiment to apply knowledge of I&E to a specific challenge/problem and form design teams or solo work to explore that potential. Students who Pursue are committing to an opportunity to license a technology, form or join a venture startup, or attain legal status. Finally, Spin Out to commercialize entities and pivot further to adapt innovations to the needs of the marketplace. MSOE's Landscape Canvas highlights I&E that is present at our university.

Students then attend a kickoff weekend, are presented projects, pick a project, then spend 9 weeks going through processes of Customer Discovery, Ideation/Brainstorming, Defining a Problem, Creating a Solution, and Drafting a Business Plan. At the end of everything, the information is presented to the rest of the team in the form of a 4 minute pitch. Groups meet each Tuesday for 3 hours to run through the workshop of the week and often meet with each other one more time in the week, performing around 3-4 additional hours of work outside of the Tuesday sessions.</li>
<li>'''Mission''': For the students of Southeast Wisconsin’s colleges and universities, The Commons is an opportunity to get firmly planted in the region’s growing innovation economy. It's a chance to put skills to the test with real-world projects, work with talented peers and find the mentorship / networking opportunities that (pardon the cliche) are game-changers for their career paths. (thecommonswi.com)</li>
<li>'''Entrepreneurial Tie''': The Commons invokes the entrepreneurial mindset in students who will return to studies and careers in their respective fields with a new outlook.</li>
<li>'''Competitors''': I-Corps - but I-Corps targets a different audience, usually more so groups of students looking to develop their idea into a company. The Commons is able to help both the student looking to move forward their startup as well as the students who want to contribute to something and put to use the skills they’ve been learning in class.</li>
<li>'''Outcome''': Students return changed individuals to their universities and jobs. People who go through The Commons have a stronger tie to their entrepreneurial community, a passion for creativity and innovation, and the tools to handle any problem or project they may encounter.</li>

<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Background: Students from Milwaukee universities attend a session</li>
<li>How it works: Students apply to the program in the early months of the year. Once accepted, the student teams gather weekly for a series of five weeks to work through a “Lean Startup” process that moves their project ideas forward quickly and with a good foundation. Students receive a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) at the end of the 5 weeks to move forward with the project.</li>
<li>Mission: Funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Milwaukee I-Corps Program offers researchers and entrepreneurs a chance to explore the viability of their technologies and ventures through the “Lean Startup” or “Lean Launch” process of direct engagement with the potential markets. Through a five-week workshop, participants are coached on designing and validating a business model around their idea and deciding whether the idea is a go/no-go decision based on their business model.  Regardless of the go/no-go outcome, teams will develop valuable skills in discovering the market – skills that will inform their research, business, and careers. ([http://icorpsmilwaukee.org http://icorpsmilwaukee.org])</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: Pushes forward student projects by providing them with a model to follow in order to gain progress as well as funding to accomplish things like prototyping, marketing, etc.</li>
<li>Competitors: The Commons - I-Corps focuses on getting projects to the stage of prototyping, so the project can make changes and pivot if need be. They get the projects through the rough part of honing in and creating a viable solution.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are encouraged to follow the inklings and create the ideas they think of. Students come out of I-Corps with the tools to move forward with prototyping and refining the solution the group has created. Students will also come out with the knowledge enabling them to reach out to additional investors to keep the project moving forward if that is what the group needs.</li>

<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Background:  Students either kickstarting their Senior Design Project or Honors Servant Leadership Project may apply for up to $500 as seed funding.</li>
<li>How it works: Students fill out an application outlining the project, what the money will be used for, and why it’s important that they receive this seed money. There is a finite amount of funding, and it is dealt out first come first serve.</li>
<li>Mission: To enable students with projects to get off the ground and ensure they have a solid foundation to get off of. Going through the application process also forces the student, if they haven’t already, to aggregate and deliver the project concisely in a way that would warrant them funding.</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: The seed funding enables students to achieve goals more quickly as funding may be something holding students back from moving forward with their project.</li>
<li>Competitors: Any outside or inside investors - Senior Design Seed Funding however, is both certainly reliable and relatively easy to obtain compared to outside sources of funding like Angel Investors or Venture Capitalists.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are able to drive ideas forward with seed funding and likely have some money to fall back on later in the project.</li>

MickeyThiry:

= Background =

We are the Milwaukee School of Engineering, where students pursue their passions in engineering, nursing, and business. We're dreamers, thinkers, makers and doers at a small university that is dedicated to achieving big things. From international plumbing competitions to ground-breaking medical innovations, our community is making the most out of their education. 

Innovation and entrepreneurship at MSOE starts with the community of learners who feel that I&E is a priority. MSOE takes this journey of I&E through five phases: Discover, Learn, Experiment, Pursue, and Spin Out. Discover begins by generating awareness, importance and fundamental elements of I&E to students. Students then realize I&E is important and we want to get involved in a deeper way when we Learn. Experiment to apply knowledge of I&E to a specific challenge/problem and form design teams or solo work to explore that potential. Students who Pursue are committing to an opportunity to license a technology, form or join a venture startup, or attain legal status. Finally, Spin Out to commercialize entities and pivot further to adapt innovations to the needs of the marketplace. MSOE's Landscape Canvas highlights I&E that is present at our university.

<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>'''Background''': The Commons is an entrepreneurial skills accelerator that drives students and young professionals through a process of Design Thinking in order to give a startup its foundation or execute a corporate challenge.</li>
<li>'''How it works''': Students apply and must be accepted to the program. Students then attend a kickoff weekend, are presented projects, pick a project, then spend 9 weeks going through processes of Customer Discovery, Ideation/Brainstorming, Defining a Problem, Creating a Solution, and Drafting a Business Plan. At the end of everything, the information is presented to the rest of the team in the form of a 4 minute pitch. Groups meet each Tuesday for 3 hours to run through the workshop of the week and often meet with each other one more time in the week, performing around 3-4 additional hours of work outside of the Tuesday sessions.</li>
<li>'''Mission''': For the students of Southeast Wisconsin’s colleges and universities, The Commons is an opportunity to get firmly planted in the region’s growing innovation economy. It's a chance to put skills to the test with real-world projects, work with talented peers and find the mentorship / networking opportunities that (pardon the cliche) are game-changers for their career paths. (thecommonswi.com)</li>
<li>'''Entrepreneurial Tie''': The Commons invokes the entrepreneurial mindset in students who will return to studies and careers in their respective fields with a new outlook.</li>
<li>'''Competitors''': I-Corps - but I-Corps targets a different audience, usually more so groups of students looking to develop their idea into a company. The Commons is able to help both the student looking to move forward their startup as well as the students who want to contribute to something and put to use the skills they’ve been learning in class.</li>
<li>'''Outcome''': Students return changed individuals to their universities and jobs. People who go through The Commons have a stronger tie to their entrepreneurial community, a passion for creativity and innovation, and the tools to handle any problem or project they may encounter.</li>

<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Background: Students from Milwaukee universities attend a session</li>
<li>How it works: Students apply to the program in the early months of the year. Once accepted, the student teams gather weekly for a series of five weeks to work through a “Lean Startup” process that moves their project ideas forward quickly and with a good foundation. Students receive a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) at the end of the 5 weeks to move forward with the project.</li>
<li>Mission: Funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Milwaukee I-Corps Program offers researchers and entrepreneurs a chance to explore the viability of their technologies and ventures through the “Lean Startup” or “Lean Launch” process of direct engagement with the potential markets. Through a five-week workshop, participants are coached on designing and validating a business model around their idea and deciding whether the idea is a go/no-go decision based on their business model.  Regardless of the go/no-go outcome, teams will develop valuable skills in discovering the market – skills that will inform their research, business, and careers. ([http://icorpsmilwaukee.org http://icorpsmilwaukee.org])</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: Pushes forward student projects by providing them with a model to follow in order to gain progress as well as funding to accomplish things like prototyping, marketing, etc.</li>
<li>Competitors: The Commons - I-Corps focuses on getting projects to the stage of prototyping, so the project can make changes and pivot if need be. They get the projects through the rough part of honing in and creating a viable solution.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are encouraged to follow the inklings and create the ideas they think of. Students come out of I-Corps with the tools to move forward with prototyping and refining the solution the group has created. Students will also come out with the knowledge enabling them to reach out to additional investors to keep the project moving forward if that is what the group needs.</li>
</ul>

<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Background:  Students either kickstarting their Senior Design Project or Honors Servant Leadership Project may apply for up to $500 as seed funding.</li>
<li>How it works: Students fill out an application outlining the project, what the money will be used for, and why it’s important that they receive this seed money. There is a finite amount of funding, and it is dealt out first come first serve.</li>
<li>Mission: To enable students with projects to get off the ground and ensure they have a solid foundation to get off of. Going through the application process also forces the student, if they haven’t already, to aggregate and deliver the project concisely in a way that would warrant them funding.</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: The seed funding enables students to achieve goals more quickly as funding may be something holding students back from moving forward with their project.</li>
<li>Competitors: Any outside or inside investors - Senior Design Seed Funding however, is both certainly reliable and relatively easy to obtain compared to outside sources of funding like Angel Investors or Venture Capitalists.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are able to drive ideas forward with seed funding and likely have some money to fall back on later in the project.</li>

From international plumbing competitions to ground-breaking medical innovations, our community is making the most out of their education. 

Innovation and entrepreneurship at MSOE starts with the community of learners who feel that I&E is a priority. MSOE takes this journey of I&E through five phases: Discover, Learn, Experiment, Pursue, and Spin Out. Discover begins by generating awareness, importance and fundamental elements of I&E to students. Students then realize I&E is important and we want to get involved in a deeper way when we Learn. Experiment to apply knowledge of I&E to a specific challenge/problem and form design teams or solo work to explore that potential. Students who Pursue are committing to an opportunity to license a technology, form or join a venture startup, or attain legal status. Finally, Spin Out to commercialize entities and pivot further to adapt innovations to the needs of the marketplace. MSOE's Landscape Canvas highlights I&E that is present at our university.

<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>'''Background''': The Commons is an entrepreneurial skills accelerator that drives students and young professionals through a process of Design Thinking in order to give a startup its foundation or execute a corporate challenge.</li>
<li>'''How it works''': Students apply and must be accepted to the program. Students then attend a kickoff weekend, are presented projects, pick a project, then spend 9 weeks going through processes of Customer Discovery, Ideation/Brainstorming, Defining a Problem, Creating a Solution, and Drafting a Business Plan. At the end of everything, the information is presented to the rest of the team in the form of a 4 minute pitch. Groups meet each Tuesday for 3 hours to run through the workshop of the week and often meet with each other one more time in the week, performing around 3-4 additional hours of work outside of the Tuesday sessions.</li>
<li>'''Mission''': For the students of Southeast Wisconsin’s colleges and universities, The Commons is an opportunity to get firmly planted in the region’s growing innovation economy. It's a chance to put skills to the test with real-world projects, work with talented peers and find the mentorship / networking opportunities that (pardon the cliche) are game-changers for their career paths. (thecommonswi.com)</li>
<li>'''Entrepreneurial Tie''': The Commons invokes the entrepreneurial mindset in students who will return to studies and careers in their respective fields with a new outlook.</li>
<li>'''Competitors''': I-Corps - but I-Corps targets a different audience, usually more so groups of students looking to develop their idea into a company. The Commons is able to help both the student looking to move forward their startup as well as the students who want to contribute to something and put to use the skills they’ve been learning in class.</li>
<li>'''Outcome''': Students return changed individuals to their universities and jobs. People who go through The Commons have a stronger tie to their entrepreneurial community, a passion for creativity and innovation, and the tools to handle any problem or project they may encounter.</li>
</ul>

<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Background: Students from Milwaukee universities attend a session</li>
<li>How it works: Students apply to the program in the early months of the year. Once accepted, the student teams gather weekly for a series of five weeks to work through a “Lean Startup” process that moves their project ideas forward quickly and with a good foundation. Students receive a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) at the end of the 5 weeks to move forward with the project.</li>
<li>Mission: Funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Milwaukee I-Corps Program offers researchers and entrepreneurs a chance to explore the viability of their technologies and ventures through the “Lean Startup” or “Lean Launch” process of direct engagement with the potential markets. Through a five-week workshop, participants are coached on designing and validating a business model around their idea and deciding whether the idea is a go/no-go decision based on their business model.  Regardless of the go/no-go outcome, teams will develop valuable skills in discovering the market – skills that will inform their research, business, and careers. ([http://icorpsmilwaukee.org http://icorpsmilwaukee.org])</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: Pushes forward student projects by providing them with a model to follow in order to gain progress as well as funding to accomplish things like prototyping, marketing, etc.</li>
<li>Competitors: The Commons - I-Corps focuses on getting projects to the stage of prototyping, so the project can make changes and pivot if need be. They get the projects through the rough part of honing in and creating a viable solution.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are encouraged to follow the inklings and create the ideas they think of. Students come out of I-Corps with the tools to move forward with prototyping and refining the solution the group has created. Students will also come out with the knowledge enabling them to reach out to additional investors to keep the project moving forward if that is what the group needs.</li>
</ul>

<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Background:  Students either kickstarting their Senior Design Project or Honors Servant Leadership Project may apply for up to $500 as seed funding.</li>
<li>How it works: Students fill out an application outlining the project, what the money will be used for, and why it’s important that they receive this seed money. There is a finite amount of funding, and it is dealt out first come first serve.</li>
<li>Mission: To enable students with projects to get off the ground and ensure they have a solid foundation to get off of. Going through the application process also forces the student, if they haven’t already, to aggregate and deliver the project concisely in a way that would warrant them funding.</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: The seed funding enables students to achieve goals more quickly as funding may be something holding students back from moving forward with their project.</li>
<li>Competitors: Any outside or inside investors - Senior Design Seed Funding however, is both certainly reliable and relatively easy to obtain compared to outside sources of funding like Angel Investors or Venture Capitalists.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are able to drive ideas forward with seed funding and likely have some money to fall back on later in the project.</li>

= Background =

We are the Milwaukee School of Engineering, where students pursue their passions in engineering, nursing, and business. We're dreamers, thinkers, makers and doers at a small university that is dedicated to achieving big things. From international plumbing competitions to ground-breaking medical innovations, our community is making the most out of their education. 

Innovation and entrepreneurship at MSOE starts with the community of learners who feel that I&E is a priority. MSOE takes this journey of I&E through five phases: Discover, Learn, Experiment, Pursue, and Spin Out. Discover begins by generating awareness, importance and fundamental elements of I&E to students. Students then realize I&E is important and we want to get involved in a deeper way when we Learn. Experiment to apply knowledge of I&E to a specific challenge/problem and form design teams or solo work to explore that potential. Students who Pursue are committing to an opportunity to license a technology, form or join a venture startup, or attain legal status. Finally, Spin Out to commercialize entities and pivot further to adapt innovations to the needs of the marketplace. MSOE's Landscape Canvas highlights I&E that is present at our university.

<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>'''Background''': The Commons is an entrepreneurial skills accelerator that drives students and young professionals through a process of Design Thinking in order to give a startup its foundation or execute a corporate challenge.</li>
<li>'''How it works''': Students apply and must be accepted to the program. Students then attend a kickoff weekend, are presented projects, pick a project, then spend 9 weeks going through processes of Customer Discovery, Ideation/Brainstorming, Defining a Problem, Creating a Solution, and Drafting a Business Plan. At the end of everything, the information is presented to the rest of the team in the form of a 4 minute pitch. Groups meet each Tuesday for 3 hours to run through the workshop of the week and often meet with each other one more time in the week, performing around 3-4 additional hours of work outside of the Tuesday sessions.</li>
<li>'''Mission''': For the students of Southeast Wisconsin’s colleges and universities, The Commons is an opportunity to get firmly planted in the region’s growing innovation economy. It's a chance to put skills to the test with real-world projects, work with talented peers and find the mentorship / networking opportunities that (pardon the cliche) are game-changers for their career paths. (thecommonswi.com)</li>
<li>'''Entrepreneurial Tie''': The Commons invokes the entrepreneurial mindset in students who will return to studies and careers in their respective fields with a new outlook.</li>
<li>'''Competitors''': I-Corps - but I-Corps targets a different audience, usually more so groups of students looking to develop their idea into a company. The Commons is able to help both the student looking to move forward their startup as well as the students who want to contribute to something and put to use the skills they’ve been learning in class.</li>
<li>'''Outcome''': Students return changed individuals to their universities and jobs. People who go through The Commons have a stronger tie to their entrepreneurial community, a passion for creativity and innovation, and the tools to handle any problem or project they may encounter.</li>

<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Background: Students from Milwaukee universities attend a session</li>
<li>How it works: Students apply to the program in the early months of the year. Once accepted, the student teams gather weekly for a series of five weeks to work through a “Lean Startup” process that moves their project ideas forward quickly and with a good foundation. Students receive a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) at the end of the 5 weeks to move forward with the project.</li>
<li>Mission: Funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Milwaukee I-Corps Program offers researchers and entrepreneurs a chance to explore the viability of their technologies and ventures through the “Lean Startup” or “Lean Launch” process of direct engagement with the potential markets. Through a five-week workshop, participants are coached on designing and validating a business model around their idea and deciding whether the idea is a go/no-go decision based on their business model.  Regardless of the go/no-go outcome, teams will develop valuable skills in discovering the market – skills that will inform their research, business, and careers. ([http://icorpsmilwaukee.org http://icorpsmilwaukee.org])</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: Pushes forward student projects by providing them with a model to follow in order to gain progress as well as funding to accomplish things like prototyping, marketing, etc.</li>
<li>Competitors: The Commons - I-Corps focuses on getting projects to the stage of prototyping, so the project can make changes and pivot if need be. They get the projects through the rough part of honing in and creating a viable solution.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are encouraged to follow the inklings and create the ideas they think of. Students come out of I-Corps with the tools to move forward with prototyping and refining the solution the group has created. Students will also come out with the knowledge enabling them to reach out to additional investors to keep the project moving forward if that is what the group needs.</li>

<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Background:  Students either kickstarting their Senior Design Project or Honors Servant Leadership Project may apply for up to $500 as seed funding.</li>
<li>How it works: Students fill out an application outlining the project, what the money will be used for, and why it’s important that they receive this seed money. There is a finite amount of funding, and it is dealt out first come first serve.</li>
<li>Mission: To enable students with projects to get off the ground and ensure they have a solid foundation to get off of. Going through the application process also forces the student, if they haven’t already, to aggregate and deliver the project concisely in a way that would warrant them funding.</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: The seed funding enables students to achieve goals more quickly as funding may be something holding students back from moving forward with their project.</li>
<li>Competitors: Any outside or inside investors - Senior Design Seed Funding however, is both certainly reliable and relatively easy to obtain compared to outside sources of funding like Angel Investors or Venture Capitalists.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are able to drive ideas forward with seed funding and likely have some money to fall back on later in the project.</li>

MickeyThiry:

= Background =

We are the Milwaukee School of Engineering, where students pursue their passions in engineering, nursing, and business. We're dreamers, thinkers, makers and doers at a small university that is dedicated to achieving big things. From international plumbing competitions to ground-breaking medical innovations, our community is making the most out of their education. 

Innovation and entrepreneurship at MSOE starts with the community of learners who feel that I&E is a priority. MSOE takes this journey of I&E through five phases: Discover, Learn, Experiment, Pursue, and Spin Out. Discover begins by generating awareness, importance and fundamental elements of I&E to students. Students then realize I&E is important and we want to get involved in a deeper way when we Learn. Experiment to apply knowledge of I&E to a specific challenge/problem and form design teams or solo work to explore that potential. Students who Pursue are committing to an opportunity to license a technology, form or join a venture startup, or attain legal status. Finally, Spin Out to commercialize entities and pivot further to adapt innovations to the needs of the marketplace. MSOE's Landscape Canvas highlights I&E that is present at our university.

<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>'''Background''': The Commons is an entrepreneurial skills accelerator that drives students and young professionals through a process of Design Thinking in order to give a startup its foundation or execute a corporate challenge.</li>
<li>'''How it works''': Students apply and must be accepted to the program. Students then attend a kickoff weekend, are presented projects, pick a project, then spend 9 weeks going through processes of Customer Discovery, Ideation/Brainstorming, Defining a Problem, Creating a Solution, and Drafting a Business Plan. At the end of everything, the information is presented to the rest of the team in the form of a 4 minute pitch. Groups meet each Tuesday for 3 hours to run through the workshop of the week and often meet with each other one more time in the week, performing around 3-4 additional hours of work outside of the Tuesday sessions.</li>
<li>'''Mission''': For the students of Southeast Wisconsin’s colleges and universities, The Commons is an opportunity to get firmly planted in the region’s growing innovation economy. It's a chance to put skills to the test with real-world projects, work with talented peers and find the mentorship / networking opportunities that (pardon the cliche) are game-changers for their career paths. (thecommonswi.com)</li>
<li>'''Entrepreneurial Tie''': The Commons invokes the entrepreneurial mindset in students who will return to studies and careers in their respective fields with a new outlook.</li>
<li>'''Competitors''': I-Corps - but I-Corps targets a different audience, usually more so groups of students looking to develop their idea into a company. The Commons is able to help both the student looking to move forward their startup as well as the students who want to contribute to something and put to use the skills they’ve been learning in class.</li>
<li>'''Outcome''': Students return changed individuals to their universities and jobs. People who go through The Commons have a stronger tie to their entrepreneurial community, a passion for creativity and innovation, and the tools to handle any problem or project they may encounter.</li>
</ul>

<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Background: Students from Milwaukee universities attend a session</li>
<li>How it works: Students apply to the program in the early months of the year. Once accepted, the student teams gather weekly for a series of five weeks to work through a “Lean Startup” process that moves their project ideas forward quickly and with a good foundation. Students receive a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) at the end of the 5 weeks to move forward with the project.</li>
<li>Mission: Funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Milwaukee I-Corps Program offers researchers and entrepreneurs a chance to explore the viability of their technologies and ventures through the “Lean Startup” or “Lean Launch” process of direct engagement with the potential markets. Through a five-week workshop, participants are coached on designing and validating a business model around their idea and deciding whether the idea is a go/no-go decision based on their business model.  Regardless of the go/no-go outcome, teams will develop valuable skills in discovering the market – skills that will inform their research, business, and careers. ([http://icorpsmilwaukee.org http://icorpsmilwaukee.org])</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: Pushes forward student projects by providing them with a model to follow in order to gain progress as well as funding to accomplish things like prototyping, marketing, etc.</li>
<li>Competitors: The Commons - I-Corps focuses on getting projects to the stage of prototyping, so the project can make changes and pivot if need be. They get the projects through the rough part of honing in and creating a viable solution.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are encouraged to follow the inklings and create the ideas they think of. Students come out of I-Corps with the tools to move forward with prototyping and refining the solution the group has created. Students will also come out with the knowledge enabling them to reach out to additional investors to keep the project moving forward if that is what the group needs.</li>
</ul>

<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Background:  Students either kickstarting their Senior Design Project or Honors Servant Leadership Project may apply for up to $500 as seed funding.</li>
<li>How it works: Students fill out an application outlining the project, what the money will be used for, and why it’s important that they receive this seed money. There is a finite amount of funding, and it is dealt out first come first serve.</li>
<li>Mission: To enable students with projects to get off the ground and ensure they have a solid foundation to get off of. Going through the application process also forces the student, if they haven’t already, to aggregate and deliver the project concisely in a way that would warrant them funding.</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: The seed funding enables students to achieve goals more quickly as funding may be something holding students back from moving forward with their project.</li>
<li>Competitors: Any outside or inside investors - Senior Design Seed Funding however, is both certainly reliable and relatively easy to obtain compared to outside sources of funding like Angel Investors or Venture Capitalists.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are able to drive ideas forward with seed funding and likely have some money to fall back on later in the project.</li>

MickeyThiry:

= Background =

We are the Milwaukee School of Engineering, where students pursue their passions in engineering, nursing, and business. We're dreamers, thinkers, makers and doers at a small university that is dedicated to achieving big things. From international plumbing competitions to ground-breaking medical innovations, our community is making the most out of their education. 

Innovation and entrepreneurship at MSOE starts with the community of learners who feel that I&E is a priority. MSOE takes this journey of I&E through five phases: Discover, Learn, Experiment, Pursue, and Spin Out. Discover begins by generating awareness, importance and fundamental elements of I&E to students. Students then realize I&E is important and we want to get involved in a deeper way when we Learn. Experiment to apply knowledge of I&E to a specific challenge/problem and form design teams or solo work to explore that potential. Students who Pursue are committing to an opportunity to license a technology, form or join a venture startup, or attain legal status. Finally, Spin Out to commercialize entities and pivot further to adapt innovations to the needs of the marketplace. MSOE's Landscape Canvas highlights I&E that is present at our university.

<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>'''Background''': The Commons is an entrepreneurial skills accelerator that drives students and young professionals through a process of Design Thinking in order to give a startup its foundation or execute a corporate challenge.</li>
<li>'''How it works''': Students apply and must be accepted to the program. Students then attend a kickoff weekend, are presented projects, pick a project, then spend 9 weeks going through processes of Customer Discovery, Ideation/Brainstorming, Defining a Problem, Creating a Solution, and Drafting a Business Plan. At the end of everything, the information is presented to the rest of the team in the form of a 4 minute pitch. Groups meet each Tuesday for 3 hours to run through the workshop of the week and often meet with each other one more time in the week, performing around 3-4 additional hours of work outside of the Tuesday sessions.</li>
<li>'''Mission''': For the students of Southeast Wisconsin’s colleges and universities, The Commons is an opportunity to get firmly planted in the region’s growing innovation economy. It's a chance to put skills to the test with real-world projects, work with talented peers and find the mentorship / networking opportunities that (pardon the cliche) are game-changers for their career paths. (thecommonswi.com)</li>
<li>'''Entrepreneurial Tie''': The Commons invokes the entrepreneurial mindset in students who will return to studies and careers in their respective fields with a new outlook.</li>
<li>'''Competitors''': I-Corps - but I-Corps targets a different audience, usually more so groups of students looking to develop their idea into a company. The Commons is able to help both the student looking to move forward their startup as well as the students who want to contribute to something and put to use the skills they’ve been learning in class.</li>
<li>'''Outcome''': Students return changed individuals to their universities and jobs. People who go through The Commons have a stronger tie to their entrepreneurial community, a passion for creativity and innovation, and the tools to handle any problem or project they may encounter.</li>
</ul>

<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Background: Students from Milwaukee universities attend a session</li>
<li>How it works: Students apply to the program in the early months of the year. Once accepted, the student teams gather weekly for a series of five weeks to work through a “Lean Startup” process that moves their project ideas forward quickly and with a good foundation. Students receive a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) at the end of the 5 weeks to move forward with the project.</li>
<li>Mission: Funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Milwaukee I-Corps Program offers researchers and entrepreneurs a chance to explore the viability of their technologies and ventures through the “Lean Startup” or “Lean Launch” process of direct engagement with the potential markets. Through a five-week workshop, participants are coached on designing and validating a business model around their idea and deciding whether the idea is a go/no-go decision based on their business model.  Regardless of the go/no-go outcome, teams will develop valuable skills in discovering the market – skills that will inform their research, business, and careers. ([http://icorpsmilwaukee.org http://icorpsmilwaukee.org])</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: Pushes forward student projects by providing them with a model to follow in order to gain progress as well as funding to accomplish things like prototyping, marketing, etc.</li>
<li>Competitors: The Commons - I-Corps focuses on getting projects to the stage of prototyping, so the project can make changes and pivot if need be. They get the projects through the rough part of honing in and creating a viable solution.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are encouraged to follow the inklings and create the ideas they think of. Students come out of I-Corps with the tools to move forward with prototyping and refining the solution the group has created. Students will also come out with the knowledge enabling them to reach out to additional investors to keep the project moving forward if that is what the group needs.</li>
</ul>

<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Background:  Students either kickstarting their Senior Design Project or Honors Servant Leadership Project may apply for up to $500 as seed funding.</li>
<li>How it works: Students fill out an application outlining the project, what the money will be used for, and why it’s important that they receive this seed money. There is a finite amount of funding, and it is dealt out first come first serve.</li>
<li>Mission: To enable students with projects to get off the ground and ensure they have a solid foundation to get off of. Going through the application process also forces the student, if they haven’t already, to aggregate and deliver the project concisely in a way that would warrant them funding.</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: The seed funding enables students to achieve goals more quickly as funding may be something holding students back from moving forward with their project.</li>
<li>Competitors: Any outside or inside investors - Senior Design Seed Funding however, is both certainly reliable and relatively easy to obtain compared to outside sources of funding like Angel Investors or Venture Capitalists.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are able to drive ideas forward with seed funding and likely have some money to fall back on later in the project.</li>

= Background =

We are the Milwaukee School of Engineering, where students pursue their passions in engineering, nursing, and business. We're dreamers, thinkers, makers and doers at a small university that is dedicated to achieving big things. From international plumbing competitions to ground-breaking medical innovations, our community is making the most out of their education. 

Innovation and entrepreneurship at MSOE starts with the community of learners who feel that I&E is a priority. MSOE takes this journey of I&E through five phases: Discover, Learn, Experiment, Pursue, and Spin Out. Discover begins by generating awareness, importance and fundamental elements of I&E to students. Students then realize I&E is important and we want to get involved in a deeper way when we Learn. Experiment to apply knowledge of I&E to a specific challenge/problem and form design teams or solo work to explore that potential. Students who Pursue are committing to an opportunity to license a technology, form or join a venture startup, or attain legal status. Finally, Spin Out to commercialize entities and pivot further to adapt innovations to the needs of the marketplace. MSOE's Landscape Canvas highlights I&E that is present at our university.

The following graduate programs are offered at MSOE.
*'''Program Name:'''
**'''Architectural Engineering'''
**'''Civil Engineering'''
**'''Perfusion'''
**'''Marketing and Export Management'''
**'''Engineering Management'''
**'''STEM Leadership'''
**'''Business Administration'''
**'''Nursing'''

= '''Encouraging Faculty Innovation and Entrepreneurship''' =

Faculty involvement encourages innovation and entrepreurship at MSOE that involves every part of the MSOE community and its success.

'''Faculty Fair as an idea for students and faculty to meet and discuss their interests, hobbies, and passions outside of the classroom. It could also be a way for relationships to build outside of academics. If they wanted, people would be encouraged to discuss their research and projects they are passionate about as well.'''

= '''Actively Supporting the University Technology Transfer Function''' =

Current university technology transfer functions are limited on campus, but MSOE does have a few programs that we are proud to display. The first two are programs offered in the city of Milwaukee while the last is something offered exclusively by MSOE to MSOE students.

<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>'''Background''': The Commons is an entrepreneurial skills accelerator that drives students and young professionals through a process of Design Thinking in order to give a startup its foundation or execute a corporate challenge.</li>
<li>'''How it works''': Students apply and must be accepted to the program. Students then attend a kickoff weekend, are presented projects, pick a project, then spend 9 weeks going through processes of Customer Discovery, Ideation/Brainstorming, Defining a Problem, Creating a Solution, and Drafting a Business Plan. At the end of everything, the information is presented to the rest of the team in the form of a 4 minute pitch. Groups meet each Tuesday for 3 hours to run through the workshop of the week and often meet with each other one more time in the week, performing around 3-4 additional hours of work outside of the Tuesday sessions.</li>
<li>'''Mission''': For the students of Southeast Wisconsin’s colleges and universities, The Commons is an opportunity to get firmly planted in the region’s growing innovation economy. It's a chance to put skills to the test with real-world projects, work with talented peers and find the mentorship / networking opportunities that (pardon the cliche) are game-changers for their career paths. (thecommonswi.com)</li>
<li>'''Entrepreneurial Tie''': The Commons invokes the entrepreneurial mindset in students who will return to studies and careers in their respective fields with a new outlook.</li>
<li>'''Competitors''': I-Corps - but I-Corps targets a different audience, usually more so groups of students looking to develop their idea into a company. The Commons is able to help both the student looking to move forward their startup as well as the students who want to contribute to something and put to use the skills they’ve been learning in class.</li>
<li>'''Outcome''': Students return changed individuals to their universities and jobs. People who go through The Commons have a stronger tie to their entrepreneurial community, a passion for creativity and innovation, and the tools to handle any problem or project they may encounter.</li>
</ul>

<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Background: Students from Milwaukee universities attend a session</li>
<li>How it works: Students apply to the program in the early months of the year. Once accepted, the student teams gather weekly for a series of five weeks to work through a “Lean Startup” process that moves their project ideas forward quickly and with a good foundation. Students receive a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) at the end of the 5 weeks to move forward with the project.</li>
<li>Mission: Funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Milwaukee I-Corps Program offers researchers and entrepreneurs a chance to explore the viability of their technologies and ventures through the “Lean Startup” or “Lean Launch” process of direct engagement with the potential markets. Through a five-week workshop, participants are coached on designing and validating a business model around their idea and deciding whether the idea is a go/no-go decision based on their business model.  Regardless of the go/no-go outcome, teams will develop valuable skills in discovering the market – skills that will inform their research, business, and careers. ([http://icorpsmilwaukee.org http://icorpsmilwaukee.org])</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: Pushes forward student projects by providing them with a model to follow in order to gain progress as well as funding to accomplish things like prototyping, marketing, etc.</li>
<li>Competitors: The Commons - I-Corps focuses on getting projects to the stage of prototyping, so the project can make changes and pivot if need be. They get the projects through the rough part of honing in and creating a viable solution.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are encouraged to follow the inklings and create the ideas they think of. Students come out of I-Corps with the tools to move forward with prototyping and refining the solution the group has created. Students will also come out with the knowledge enabling them to reach out to additional investors to keep the project moving forward if that is what the group needs.</li>
</ul>

<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Background:  Students either kickstarting their Senior Design Project or Honors Servant Leadership Project may apply for up to $500 as seed funding.</li>
<li>How it works: Students fill out an application outlining the project, what the money will be used for, and why it’s important that they receive this seed money. There is a finite amount of funding, and it is dealt out first come first serve.</li>
<li>Mission: To enable students with projects to get off the ground and ensure they have a solid foundation to get off of. Going through the application process also forces the student, if they haven’t already, to aggregate and deliver the project concisely in a way that would warrant them funding.</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: The seed funding enables students to achieve goals more quickly as funding may be something holding students back from moving forward with their project.</li>
<li>Competitors: Any outside or inside investors - Senior Design Seed Funding however, is both certainly reliable and relatively easy to obtain compared to outside sources of funding like Angel Investors or Venture Capitalists.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are able to drive ideas forward with seed funding and likely have some money to fall back on later in the project.</li>

= Background =

We are the Milwaukee School of Engineering, where students pursue their passions in engineering, nursing, and business. We're dreamers, thinkers, makers and doers at a small university that is dedicated to achieving big things. From international plumbing competitions to ground-breaking medical innovations, our community is making the most out of their education. 

Innovation and entrepreneurship at MSOE starts with the community of learners who feel that I&E is a priority. MSOE takes this journey of I&E through five phases: Discover, Learn, Experiment, Pursue, and Spin Out. Discover begins by generating awareness, importance and fundamental elements of I&E to students. Students then realize I&E is important and we want to get involved in a deeper way when we Learn. Experiment to apply knowledge of I&E to a specific challenge/problem and form design teams or solo work to explore that potential. Students who Pursue are committing to an opportunity to license a technology, form or join a venture startup, or attain legal status. Finally, Spin Out to commercialize entities and pivot further to adapt innovations to the needs of the marketplace. MSOE's Landscape Canvas highlights I&E that is present at our university.

<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>'''Background''': The Commons is an entrepreneurial skills accelerator that drives students and young professionals through a process of Design Thinking in order to give a startup its foundation or execute a corporate challenge.</li>
<li>'''How it works''': Students apply and must be accepted to the program. Students then attend a kickoff weekend, are presented projects, pick a project, then spend 9 weeks going through processes of Customer Discovery, Ideation/Brainstorming, Defining a Problem, Creating a Solution, and Drafting a Business Plan. At the end of everything, the information is presented to the rest of the team in the form of a 4 minute pitch. Groups meet each Tuesday for 3 hours to run through the workshop of the week and often meet with each other one more time in the week, performing around 3-4 additional hours of work outside of the Tuesday sessions.</li>
<li>'''Mission''': For the students of Southeast Wisconsin’s colleges and universities, The Commons is an opportunity to get firmly planted in the region’s growing innovation economy. It's a chance to put skills to the test with real-world projects, work with talented peers and find the mentorship / networking opportunities that (pardon the cliche) are game-changers for their career paths. (thecommonswi.com)</li>
<li>'''Entrepreneurial Tie''': The Commons invokes the entrepreneurial mindset in students who will return to studies and careers in their respective fields with a new outlook.</li>
<li>'''Competitors''': I-Corps - but I-Corps targets a different audience, usually more so groups of students looking to develop their idea into a company. The Commons is able to help both the student looking to move forward their startup as well as the students who want to contribute to something and put to use the skills they’ve been learning in class.</li>
<li>'''Outcome''': Students return changed individuals to their universities and jobs. People who go through The Commons have a stronger tie to their entrepreneurial community, a passion for creativity and innovation, and the tools to handle any problem or project they may encounter.</li>

<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Background: Students from Milwaukee universities attend a session</li>
<li>How it works: Students apply to the program in the early months of the year. Once accepted, the student teams gather weekly for a series of five weeks to work through a “Lean Startup” process that moves their project ideas forward quickly and with a good foundation. Students receive a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) at the end of the 5 weeks to move forward with the project.</li>
<li>Mission: Funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Milwaukee I-Corps Program offers researchers and entrepreneurs a chance to explore the viability of their technologies and ventures through the “Lean Startup” or “Lean Launch” process of direct engagement with the potential markets. Through a five-week workshop, participants are coached on designing and validating a business model around their idea and deciding whether the idea is a go/no-go decision based on their business model.  Regardless of the go/no-go outcome, teams will develop valuable skills in discovering the market – skills that will inform their research, business, and careers.

<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: Pushes forward student projects by providing them with a model to follow in order to gain progress as well as funding to accomplish things like prototyping, marketing, etc.</li>
<li>Competitors: The Commons - I-Corps focuses on getting projects to the stage of prototyping, so the project can make changes and pivot if need be. They get the projects through the rough part of honing in and creating a viable solution.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are encouraged to follow the inklings and create the ideas they think of. Students come out of I-Corps with the tools to move forward with prototyping and refining the solution the group has created. Students will also come out with the knowledge enabling them to reach out to additional investors to keep the project moving forward if that is what the group needs.</li>

<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Background:  Students either kickstarting their Senior Design Project or Honors Servant Leadership Project may apply for up to $500 as seed funding.</li>
<li>How it works: Students fill out an application outlining the project, what the money will be used for, and why it’s important that they receive this seed money. There is a finite amount of funding, and it is dealt out first come first serve.</li>
<li>Mission: To enable students with projects to get off the ground and ensure they have a solid foundation to get off of. Going through the application process also forces the student, if they haven’t already, to aggregate and deliver the project concisely in a way that would warrant them funding.</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: The seed funding enables students to achieve goals more quickly as funding may be something holding students back from moving forward with their project.</li>
<li>Competitors: Any outside or inside investors - Senior Design Seed Funding however, is both certainly reliable and relatively easy to obtain compared to outside sources of funding like Angel Investors or Venture Capitalists.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are able to drive ideas forward with seed funding and likely have some money to fall back on later in the project.</li>

MickeyThiry:

= Background =

We are the Milwaukee School of Engineering, where students pursue their passions in engineering, nursing, and business. We're dreamers, thinkers, makers and doers at a small university that is dedicated to achieving big things. From international plumbing competitions to ground-breaking medical innovations, our community is making the most out of their education. 

Innovation and entrepreneurship at MSOE starts with the community of learners who feel that I&E is a priority. MSOE takes this journey of I&E through five phases: Discover, Learn, Experiment, Pursue, and Spin Out. Discover begins by generating awareness, importance and fundamental elements of I&E to students. Students then realize I&E is important and we want to get involved in a deeper way when we Learn. Experiment to apply knowledge of I&E to a specific challenge/problem and form design teams or solo work to explore that potential. Students who Pursue are committing to an opportunity to license a technology, form or join a venture startup, or attain legal status. Finally, Spin Out to commercialize entities and pivot further to adapt innovations to the needs of the marketplace. MSOE's Landscape Canvas highlights I&E that is present at our university.

<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>'''Background''': The Commons is an entrepreneurial skills accelerator that drives students and young professionals through a process of Design Thinking in order to give a startup its foundation or execute a corporate challenge.</li>
<li>'''How it works''': Students apply and must be accepted to the program. Students then attend a kickoff weekend, are presented projects, pick a project, then spend 9 weeks going through processes of Customer Discovery, Ideation/Brainstorming, Defining a Problem, Creating a Solution, and Drafting a Business Plan. At the end of everything, the information is presented to the rest of the team in the form of a 4 minute pitch. Groups meet each Tuesday for 3 hours to run through the workshop of the week and often meet with each other one more time in the week, performing around 3-4 additional hours of work outside of the Tuesday sessions.</li>
<li>'''Mission''': For the students of Southeast Wisconsin’s colleges and universities, The Commons is an opportunity to get firmly planted in the region’s growing innovation economy. It's a chance to put skills to the test with real-world projects, work with talented peers and find the mentorship / networking opportunities that (pardon the cliche) are game-changers for their career paths. (thecommonswi.com)</li>
<li>'''Entrepreneurial Tie''': The Commons invokes the entrepreneurial mindset in students who will return to studies and careers in their respective fields with a new outlook.</li>
<li>'''Competitors''': I-Corps - but I-Corps targets a different audience, usually more so groups of students looking to develop their idea into a company. The Commons is able to help both the student looking to move forward their startup as well as the students who want to contribute to something and put to use the skills they’ve been learning in class.</li>
<li>'''Outcome''': Students return changed individuals to their universities and jobs. People who go through The Commons have a stronger tie to their entrepreneurial community, a passion for creativity and innovation, and the tools to handle any problem or project they may encounter.</li>

<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Background: Students from Milwaukee universities attend a session</li>
<li>How it works: Students apply to the program in the early months of the year. Once accepted, the student teams gather weekly for a series of five weeks to work through a “Lean Startup” process that moves their project ideas forward quickly and with a good foundation. Students receive a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) at the end of the 5 weeks to move forward with the project.</li>
<li>Mission: Funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Milwaukee I-Corps Program offers researchers and entrepreneurs a chance to explore the viability of their technologies and ventures through the “Lean Startup” or “Lean Launch” process of direct engagement with the potential markets. Through a five-week workshop, participants are coached on designing and validating a business model around their idea and deciding whether the idea is a go/no-go decision based on their business model.  Regardless of the go/no-go outcome, teams will develop valuable skills in discovering the market – skills that will inform their research, business, and careers. ([http://icorpsmilwaukee.org http://icorpsmilwaukee.org])</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: Pushes forward student projects by providing them with a model to follow in order to gain progress as well as funding to accomplish things like prototyping, marketing, etc.</li>
<li>Competitors: The Commons - I-Corps focuses on getting projects to the stage of prototyping, so the project can make changes and pivot if need be. They get the projects through the rough part of honing in and creating a viable solution.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are encouraged to follow the inklings and create the ideas they think of. Students come out of I-Corps with the tools to move forward with prototyping and refining the solution the group has created. Students will also come out with the knowledge enabling them to reach out to additional investors to keep the project moving forward if that is what the group needs.</li>
</ul>

<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Background:  Students either kickstarting their Senior Design Project or Honors Servant Leadership Project may apply for up to $500 as seed funding.</li>
<li>How it works: Students fill out an application outlining the project, what the money will be used for, and why it’s important that they receive this seed money. There is a finite amount of funding, and it is dealt out first come first serve.</li>
<li>Mission: To enable students with projects to get off the ground and ensure they have a solid foundation to get off of. Going through the application process also forces the student, if they haven’t already, to aggregate and deliver the project concisely in a way that would warrant them funding.</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: The seed funding enables students to achieve goals more quickly as funding may be something holding students back from moving forward with their project.</li>
<li>Competitors: Any outside or inside investors - Senior Design Seed Funding however, is both certainly reliable and relatively easy to obtain compared to outside sources of funding like Angel Investors or Venture Capitalists.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are able to drive ideas forward with seed funding and likely have some money to fall back on later in the project.</li>

= Background =

We are the Milwaukee School of Engineering, where students pursue their passions in engineering, nursing, and business. We're dreamers, thinkers, makers and doers at a small university that is dedicated to achieving big things. From international plumbing competitions to ground-breaking medical innovations, our community is making the most out of their education. 

Innovation and entrepreneurship at MSOE starts with the community of learners who feel that I&E is a priority. MSOE takes this journey of I&E through five phases: Discover, Learn, Experiment, Pursue, and Spin Out. Discover begins by generating awareness, importance and fundamental elements of I&E to students. Students then realize I&E is important and we want to get involved in a deeper way when we Learn. Experiment to apply knowledge of I&E to a specific challenge/problem and form design teams or solo work to explore that potential. Students who Pursue are committing to an opportunity to license a technology, form or join a venture startup, or attain legal status. Finally, Spin Out to commercialize entities and pivot further to adapt innovations to the needs of the marketplace. MSOE's Landscape Canvas highlights I&E that is present at our university.

<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>'''Background''': The Commons is an entrepreneurial skills accelerator that drives students and young professionals through a process of Design Thinking in order to give a startup its foundation or execute a corporate challenge.</li>
<li>'''How it works''': Students apply and must be accepted to the program. Students then attend a kickoff weekend, are presented projects, pick a project, then spend 9 weeks going through processes of Customer Discovery, Ideation/Brainstorming, Defining a Problem, Creating a Solution, and Drafting a Business Plan. At the end of everything, the information is presented to the rest of the team in the form of a 4 minute pitch. Groups meet each Tuesday for 3 hours to run through the workshop of the week and often meet with each other one more time in the week, performing around 3-4 additional hours of work outside of the Tuesday sessions.</li>
<li>'''Mission''': For the students of Southeast Wisconsin’s colleges and universities, The Commons is an opportunity to get firmly planted in the region’s growing innovation economy. It's a chance to put skills to the test with real-world projects, work with talented peers and find the mentorship / networking opportunities that (pardon the cliche) are game-changers for their career paths. (thecommonswi.com)</li>
<li>'''Entrepreneurial Tie''': The Commons invokes the entrepreneurial mindset in students who will return to studies and careers in their respective fields with a new outlook.</li>
<li>'''Competitors''': I-Corps - but I-Corps targets a different audience, usually more so groups of students looking to develop their idea into a company. The Commons is able to help both the student looking to move forward their startup as well as the students who want to contribute to something and put to use the skills they’ve been learning in class.</li>
<li>'''Outcome''': Students return changed individuals to their universities and jobs. People who go through The Commons have a stronger tie to their entrepreneurial community, a passion for creativity and innovation, and the tools to handle any problem or project they may encounter.</li>
</ul>

<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Background: Students from Milwaukee universities attend a session</li>
<li>How it works: Students apply to the program in the early months of the year. Once accepted, the student teams gather weekly for a series of five weeks to work through a “Lean Startup” process that moves their project ideas forward quickly and with a good foundation. Students receive a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) at the end of the 5 weeks to move forward with the project.</li>
<li>Mission: Funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Milwaukee I-Corps Program offers researchers and entrepreneurs a chance to explore the viability of their technologies and ventures through the “Lean Startup” or “Lean Launch” process of direct engagement with the potential markets. Through a five-week workshop, participants are coached on designing and validating a business model around their idea and deciding whether the idea is a go/no-go decision based on their business model.  Regardless of the go/no-go outcome, teams will develop valuable skills in discovering the market – skills that will inform their research, business, and careers. ([http://icorpsmilwaukee.org http://icorpsmilwaukee.org])</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: Pushes forward student projects by providing them with a model to follow in order to gain progress as well as funding to accomplish things like prototyping, marketing, etc.</li>
<li>Competitors: The Commons - I-Corps focuses on getting projects to the stage of prototyping, so the project can make changes and pivot if need be. They get the projects through the rough part of honing in and creating a viable solution.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are encouraged to follow the inklings and create the ideas they think of. Students come out of I-Corps with the tools to move forward with prototyping and refining the solution the group has created. Students will also come out with the knowledge enabling them to reach out to additional investors to keep the project moving forward if that is what the group needs.</li>
</ul>

<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Background:  Students either kickstarting their Senior Design Project or Honors Servant Leadership Project may apply for up to $500 as seed funding.</li>
<li>How it works: Students fill out an application outlining the project, what the money will be used for, and why it’s important that they receive this seed money. There is a finite amount of funding, and it is dealt out first come first serve.</li>
<li>Mission: To enable students with projects to get off the ground and ensure they have a solid foundation to get off of. Going through the application process also forces the student, if they haven’t already, to aggregate and deliver the project concisely in a way that would warrant them funding.</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: The seed funding enables students to achieve goals more quickly as funding may be something holding students back from moving forward with their project.</li>
<li>Competitors: Any outside or inside investors - Senior Design Seed Funding however, is both certainly reliable and relatively easy to obtain compared to outside sources of funding like Angel Investors or Venture Capitalists.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are able to drive ideas forward with seed funding and likely have some money to fall back on later in the project.</li>

= Background =

We are the Milwaukee School of Engineering, where students pursue their passions in engineering, nursing, and business. We're dreamers, thinkers, makers and doers at a small university that is dedicated to achieving big things. From international plumbing competitions to ground-breaking medical innovations, our community is making the most out of their education. 

Innovation and entrepreneurship at MSOE starts with the community of learners who feel that I&E is a priority. MSOE takes this journey of I&E through five phases: Discover, Learn, Experiment, Pursue, and Spin Out. Discover begins by generating awareness, importance and fundamental elements of I&E to students. Students then realize I&E is important and we want to get involved in a deeper way when we Learn. Experiment to apply knowledge of I&E to a specific challenge/problem and form design teams or solo work to explore that potential. Students who Pursue are committing to an opportunity to license a technology, form or join a venture startup, or attain legal status. Finally, Spin Out to commercialize entities and pivot further to adapt innovations to the needs of the marketplace. MSOE's Landscape Canvas highlights I&E that is present at our university.

<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>'''Background''': The Commons is an entrepreneurial skills accelerator that drives students and young professionals through a process of Design Thinking in order to give a startup its foundation or execute a corporate challenge.</li>
<li>'''How it works''': Students apply and must be accepted to the program. Students then attend a kickoff weekend, are presented projects, pick a project, then spend 9 weeks going through processes of Customer Discovery, Ideation/Brainstorming, Defining a Problem, Creating a Solution, and Drafting a Business Plan. At the end of everything, the information is presented to the rest of the team in the form of a 4 minute pitch. Groups meet each Tuesday for 3 hours to run through the workshop of the week and often meet with each other one more time in the week, performing around 3-4 additional hours of work outside of the Tuesday sessions.</li>
<li>'''Mission''': For the students of Southeast Wisconsin’s colleges and universities, The Commons is an opportunity to get firmly planted in the region’s growing innovation economy. It's a chance to put skills to the test with real-world projects, work with talented peers and find the mentorship / networking opportunities that (pardon the cliche) are game-changers for their career paths. (thecommonswi.com)</li>
<li>'''Entrepreneurial Tie''': The Commons invokes the entrepreneurial mindset in students who will return to studies and careers in their respective fields with a new outlook.</li>
<li>'''Competitors''': I-Corps - but I-Corps targets a different audience, usually more so groups of students looking to develop their idea into a company. The Commons is able to help both the student looking to move forward their startup as well as the students who want to contribute to something and put to use the skills they’ve been learning in class.</li>
<li>'''Outcome''': Students return changed individuals to their universities and jobs. People who go through The Commons have a stronger tie to their entrepreneurial community, a passion for creativity and innovation, and the tools to handle any problem or project they may encounter.</li>

<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Background: Students from Milwaukee universities attend a session</li>
<li>How it works: Students apply to the program in the early months of the year. Once accepted, the student teams gather weekly for a series of five weeks to work through a “Lean Startup” process that moves their project ideas forward quickly and with a good foundation. Students receive a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) at the end of the 5 weeks to move forward with the project.</li>
<li>Mission: Funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Milwaukee I-Corps Program offers researchers and entrepreneurs a chance to explore the viability of their technologies and ventures through the “Lean Startup” or “Lean Launch” process of direct engagement with the potential markets. Through a five-week workshop, participants are coached on designing and validating a business model around their idea and deciding whether the idea is a go/no-go decision based on their business model.  Regardless of the go/no-go outcome, teams will develop valuable skills in discovering the market – skills that will inform their research, business, and careers.

<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: Pushes forward student projects by providing them with a model to follow in order to gain progress as well as funding to accomplish things like prototyping, marketing, etc.</li>
<li>Competitors: The Commons - I-Corps focuses on getting projects to the stage of prototyping, so the project can make changes and pivot if need be. They get the projects through the rough part of honing in and creating a viable solution.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are encouraged to follow the inklings and create the ideas they think of. Students come out of I-Corps with the tools to move forward with prototyping and refining the solution the group has created. Students will also come out with the knowledge enabling them to reach out to additional investors to keep the project moving forward if that is what the group needs.</li>

<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Background:  Students either kickstarting their Senior Design Project or Honors Servant Leadership Project may apply for up to $500 as seed funding.</li>
<li>How it works: Students fill out an application outlining the project, what the money will be used for, and why it’s important that they receive this seed money. There is a finite amount of funding, and it is dealt out first come first serve.</li>
<li>Mission: To enable students with projects to get off the ground and ensure they have a solid foundation to get off of. Going through the application process also forces the student, if they haven’t already, to aggregate and deliver the project concisely in a way that would warrant them funding.</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: The seed funding enables students to achieve goals more quickly as funding may be something holding students back from moving forward with their project.</li>
<li>Competitors: Any outside or inside investors - Senior Design Seed Funding however, is both certainly reliable and relatively easy to obtain compared to outside sources of funding like Angel Investors or Venture Capitalists.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are able to drive ideas forward with seed funding and likely have some money to fall back on later in the project.</li>

MickeyThiry:

= Background =

We are the Milwaukee School of Engineering, where students pursue their passions in engineering, nursing, and business. We're dreamers, thinkers, makers and doers at a small university that is dedicated to achieving big things. From international plumbing competitions to ground-breaking medical innovations, our community is making the most out of their education. 

Innovation and entrepreneurship at MSOE starts with the community of learners who feel that I&E is a priority. MSOE takes this journey of I&E through five phases: Discover, Learn, Experiment, Pursue, and Spin Out. Discover begins by generating awareness, importance and fundamental elements of I&E to students. Students then realize I&E is important and we want to get involved in a deeper way when we Learn. Experiment to apply knowledge of I&E to a specific challenge/problem and form design teams or solo work to explore that potential. Students who Pursue are committing to an opportunity to license a technology, form or join a venture startup, or attain legal status. Finally, Spin Out to commercialize entities and pivot further to adapt innovations to the needs of the marketplace. MSOE's Landscape Canvas highlights I&E that is present at our university.

<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>'''Background''': The Commons is an entrepreneurial skills accelerator that drives students and young professionals through a process of Design Thinking in order to give a startup its foundation or execute a corporate challenge.</li>
<li>'''How it works''': Students apply and must be accepted to the program. Students then attend a kickoff weekend, are presented projects, pick a project, then spend 9 weeks going through processes of Customer Discovery, Ideation/Brainstorming, Defining a Problem, Creating a Solution, and Drafting a Business Plan. At the end of everything, the information is presented to the rest of the team in the form of a 4 minute pitch. Groups meet each Tuesday for 3 hours to run through the workshop of the week and often meet with each other one more time in the week, performing around 3-4 additional hours of work outside of the Tuesday sessions.</li>
<li>'''Mission''': For the students of Southeast Wisconsin’s colleges and universities, The Commons is an opportunity to get firmly planted in the region’s growing innovation economy. It's a chance to put skills to the test with real-world projects, work with talented peers and find the mentorship / networking opportunities that (pardon the cliche) are game-changers for their career paths. (thecommonswi.com)</li>
<li>'''Entrepreneurial Tie''': The Commons invokes the entrepreneurial mindset in students who will return to studies and careers in their respective fields with a new outlook.</li>
<li>'''Competitors''': I-Corps - but I-Corps targets a different audience, usually more so groups of students looking to develop their idea into a company. The Commons is able to help both the student looking to move forward their startup as well as the students who want to contribute to something and put to use the skills they’ve been learning in class.</li>
<li>'''Outcome''': Students return changed individuals to their universities and jobs. People who go through The Commons have a stronger tie to their entrepreneurial community, a passion for creativity and innovation, and the tools to handle any problem or project they may encounter.</li>
</ul>

<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Background: Students from Milwaukee universities attend a session</li>
<li>How it works: Students apply to the program in the early months of the year. Once accepted, the student teams gather weekly for a series of five weeks to work through a “Lean Startup” process that moves their project ideas forward quickly and with a good foundation. Students receive a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) at the end of the 5 weeks to move forward with the project.</li>
<li>Mission: Funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Milwaukee I-Corps Program offers researchers and entrepreneurs a chance to explore the viability of their technologies and ventures through the “Lean Startup” or “Lean Launch” process of direct engagement with the potential markets. Through a five-week workshop, participants are coached on designing and validating a business model around their idea and deciding whether the idea is a go/no-go decision based on their business model.  Regardless of the go/no-go outcome, teams will develop valuable skills in discovering the market – skills that will inform their research, business, and careers. ([http://icorpsmilwaukee.org http://icorpsmilwaukee.org])</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: Pushes forward student projects by providing them with a model to follow in order to gain progress as well as funding to accomplish things like prototyping, marketing, etc.</li>
<li>Competitors: The Commons - I-Corps focuses on getting projects to the stage of prototyping, so the project can make changes and pivot if need be. They get the projects through the rough part of honing in and creating a viable solution.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are encouraged to follow the inklings and create the ideas they think of. Students come out of I-Corps with the tools to move forward with prototyping and refining the solution the group has created. Students will also come out with the knowledge enabling them to reach out to additional investors to keep the project moving forward if that is what the group needs.</li>
</ul>

<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Background:  Students either kickstarting their Senior Design Project or Honors Servant Leadership Project may apply for up to $500 as seed funding.</li>
<li>How it works: Students fill out an application outlining the project, what the money will be used for, and why it’s important that they receive this seed money. There is a finite amount of funding, and it is dealt out first come first serve.</li>
<li>Mission: To enable students with projects to get off the ground and ensure they have a solid foundation to get off of. Going through the application process also forces the student, if they haven’t already, to aggregate and deliver the project concisely in a way that would warrant them funding.</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: The seed funding enables students to achieve goals more quickly as funding may be something holding students back from moving forward with their project.</li>
<li>Competitors: Any outside or inside investors - Senior Design Seed Funding however, is both certainly reliable and relatively easy to obtain compared to outside sources of funding like Angel Investors or Venture Capitalists.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are able to drive ideas forward with seed funding and likely have some money to fall back on later in the project.</li>

MickeyThiry:

= Background =

We are the Milwaukee School of Engineering, where students pursue their passions in engineering, nursing, and business. We're dreamers, thinkers, makers and doers at a small university that is dedicated to achieving big things. From international plumbing competitions to ground-breaking medical innovations, our community is making the most out of their education. 

Innovation and entrepreneurship at MSOE starts with the community of learners who feel that I&E is a priority. MSOE takes this journey of I&E through five phases: Discover, Learn, Experiment, Pursue, and Spin Out. Discover begins by generating awareness, importance and fundamental elements of I&E to students. Students then realize I&E is important and we want to get involved in a deeper way when we Learn. Experiment to apply knowledge of I&E to a specific challenge/problem and form design teams or solo work to explore that potential. Students who Pursue are committing to an opportunity to license a technology, form or join a venture startup, or attain legal status. Finally, Spin Out to commercialize entities and pivot further to adapt innovations to the needs of the marketplace. MSOE's Landscape Canvas highlights I&E that is present at our university.

<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>'''Background''': The Commons is an entrepreneurial skills accelerator that drives students and young professionals through a process of Design Thinking in order to give a startup its foundation or execute a corporate challenge.</li>
<li>'''How it works''': Students apply and must be accepted to the program. Students then attend a kickoff weekend, are presented projects, pick a project, then spend 9 weeks going through processes of Customer Discovery, Ideation/Brainstorming, Defining a Problem, Creating a Solution, and Drafting a Business Plan. At the end of everything, the information is presented to the rest of the team in the form of a 4 minute pitch. Groups meet each Tuesday for 3 hours to run through the workshop of the week and often meet with each other one more time in the week, performing around 3-4 additional hours of work outside of the Tuesday sessions.</li>
<li>'''Mission''': For the students of Southeast Wisconsin’s colleges and universities, The Commons is an opportunity to get firmly planted in the region’s growing innovation economy. It's a chance to put skills to the test with real-world projects, work with talented peers and find the mentorship / networking opportunities that (pardon the cliche) are game-changers for their career paths. (thecommonswi.com)</li>
<li>'''Entrepreneurial Tie''': The Commons invokes the entrepreneurial mindset in students who will return to studies and careers in their respective fields with a new outlook.</li>
<li>'''Competitors''': I-Corps - but I-Corps targets a different audience, usually more so groups of students looking to develop their idea into a company. The Commons is able to help both the student looking to move forward their startup as well as the students who want to contribute to something and put to use the skills they’ve been learning in class.</li>
<li>'''Outcome''': Students return changed individuals to their universities and jobs. People who go through The Commons have a stronger tie to their entrepreneurial community, a passion for creativity and innovation, and the tools to handle any problem or project they may encounter.</li>
</ul>

<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Background: Students from Milwaukee universities attend a session</li>
<li>How it works: Students apply to the program in the early months of the year. Once accepted, the student teams gather weekly for a series of five weeks to work through a “Lean Startup” process that moves their project ideas forward quickly and with a good foundation. Students receive a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) at the end of the 5 weeks to move forward with the project.</li>
<li>Mission: Funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Milwaukee I-Corps Program offers researchers and entrepreneurs a chance to explore the viability of their technologies and ventures through the “Lean Startup” or “Lean Launch” process of direct engagement with the potential markets. Through a five-week workshop, participants are coached on designing and validating a business model around their idea and deciding whether the idea is a go/no-go decision based on their business model.  Regardless of the go/no-go outcome, teams will develop valuable skills in discovering the market – skills that will inform their research, business, and careers. ([http://icorpsmilwaukee.org http://icorpsmilwaukee.org])</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: Pushes forward student projects by providing them with a model to follow in order to gain progress as well as funding to accomplish things like prototyping, marketing, etc.</li>
<li>Competitors: The Commons - I-Corps focuses on getting projects to the stage of prototyping, so the project can make changes and pivot if need be. They get the projects through the rough part of honing in and creating a viable solution.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are encouraged to follow the inklings and create the ideas they think of. Students come out of I-Corps with the tools to move forward with prototyping and refining the solution the group has created. Students will also come out with the knowledge enabling them to reach out to additional investors to keep the project moving forward if that is what the group needs.</li>
</ul>

<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Background:  Students either kickstarting their Senior Design Project or Honors Servant Leadership Project may apply for up to $500 as seed funding.</li>
<li>How it works: Students fill out an application outlining the project, what the money will be used for, and why it’s important that they receive this seed money. There is a finite amount of funding, and it is dealt out first come first serve.</li>
<li>Mission: To enable students with projects to get off the ground and ensure they have a solid foundation to get off of. Going through the application process also forces the student, if they haven’t already, to aggregate and deliver the project concisely in a way that would warrant them funding.</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: The seed funding enables students to achieve goals more quickly as funding may be something holding students back from moving forward with their project.</li>
<li>Competitors: Any outside or inside investors - Senior Design Seed Funding however, is both certainly reliable and relatively easy to obtain compared to outside sources of funding like Angel Investors or Venture Capitalists.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are able to drive ideas forward with seed funding and likely have some money to fall back on later in the project.</li>

MickeyThiry:

= Background =

We are the Milwaukee School of Engineering, where students pursue their passions in engineering, nursing, and business. We're dreamers, thinkers, makers and doers at a small university that is dedicated to achieving big things. From international plumbing competitions to ground-breaking medical innovations, our community is making the most out of their education. 

Innovation and entrepreneurship at MSOE starts with the community of learners who feel that I&E is a priority. MSOE takes this journey of I&E through five phases: Discover, Learn, Experiment, Pursue, and Spin Out. Discover begins by generating awareness, importance and fundamental elements of I&E to students. Students then realize I&E is important and we want to get involved in a deeper way when we Learn. Experiment to apply knowledge of I&E to a specific challenge/problem and form design teams or solo work to explore that potential. Students who Pursue are committing to an opportunity to license a technology, form or join a venture startup, or attain legal status. Finally, Spin Out to commercialize entities and pivot further to adapt innovations to the needs of the marketplace. MSOE's Landscape Canvas highlights I&E that is present at our university.

= '''Actively Supporting the University Technology Transfer Function''' =

Current university technology transfer functions are limited on campus, but MSOE does have a few programs that we are proud to display. The first two are programs offered in the city of Milwaukee while the last is something offered exclusively by MSOE to MSOE students.

<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>'''Background''': The Commons is an entrepreneurial skills accelerator that drives students and young professionals through a process of Design Thinking in order to give a startup its foundation or execute a corporate challenge.</li>
<li>'''How it works''': Students apply and must be accepted to the program. Students then attend a kickoff weekend, are presented projects, pick a project, then spend 9 weeks going through processes of Customer Discovery, Ideation/Brainstorming, Defining a Problem, Creating a Solution, and Drafting a Business Plan. At the end of everything, the information is presented to the rest of the team in the form of a 4 minute pitch. Groups meet each Tuesday for 3 hours to run through the workshop of the week and often meet with each other one more time in the week, performing around 3-4 additional hours of work outside of the Tuesday sessions.</li>
<li>'''Mission''': For the students of Southeast Wisconsin’s colleges and universities, The Commons is an opportunity to get firmly planted in the region’s growing innovation economy. It's a chance to put skills to the test with real-world projects, work with talented peers and find the mentorship / networking opportunities that (pardon the cliche) are game-changers for their career paths. (thecommonswi.com)</li>
<li>'''Entrepreneurial Tie''': The Commons invokes the entrepreneurial mindset in students who will return to studies and careers in their respective fields with a new outlook.</li>
<li>'''Competitors''': I-Corps - but I-Corps targets a different audience, usually more so groups of students looking to develop their idea into a company. The Commons is able to help both the student looking to move forward their startup as well as the students who want to contribute to something and put to use the skills they’ve been learning in class.</li>
<li>'''Outcome''': Students return changed individuals to their universities and jobs. People who go through The Commons have a stronger tie to their entrepreneurial community, a passion for creativity and innovation, and the tools to handle any problem or project they may encounter.</li>
</ul>

<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Background: Students from Milwaukee universities attend a session</li>
<li>How it works: Students apply to the program in the early months of the year. Once accepted, the student teams gather weekly for a series of five weeks to work through a “Lean Startup” process that moves their project ideas forward quickly and with a good foundation. Students receive a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) at the end of the 5 weeks to move forward with the project.</li>
<li>Mission: Funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Milwaukee I-Corps Program offers researchers and entrepreneurs a chance to explore the viability of their technologies and ventures through the “Lean Startup” or “Lean Launch” process of direct engagement with the potential markets. Through a five-week workshop, participants are coached on designing and validating a business model around their idea and deciding whether the idea is a go/no-go decision based on their business model.  Regardless of the go/no-go outcome, teams will develop valuable skills in discovering the market – skills that will inform their research, business, and careers. ([http://icorpsmilwaukee.org http://icorpsmilwaukee.org])</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: Pushes forward student projects by providing them with a model to follow in order to gain progress as well as funding to accomplish things like prototyping, marketing, etc.</li>
<li>Competitors: The Commons - I-Corps focuses on getting projects to the stage of prototyping, so the project can make changes and pivot if need be. They get the projects through the rough part of honing in and creating a viable solution.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are encouraged to follow the inklings and create the ideas they think of. Students come out of I-Corps with the tools to move forward with prototyping and refining the solution the group has created. Students will also come out with the knowledge enabling them to reach out to additional investors to keep the project moving forward if that is what the group needs.</li>
</ul>

<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Background:  Students either kickstarting their Senior Design Project or Honors Servant Leadership Project may apply for up to $500 as seed funding.</li>
<li>How it works: Students fill out an application outlining the project, what the money will be used for, and why it’s important that they receive this seed money. There is a finite amount of funding, and it is dealt out first come first serve.</li>
<li>Mission: To enable students with projects to get off the ground and ensure they have a solid foundation to get off of. Going through the application process also forces the student, if they haven’t already, to aggregate and deliver the project concisely in a way that would warrant them funding.</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: The seed funding enables students to achieve goals more quickly as funding may be something holding students back from moving forward with their project.</li>
<li>Competitors: Any outside or inside investors - Senior Design Seed Funding however, is both certainly reliable and relatively easy to obtain compared to outside sources of funding like Angel Investors or Venture Capitalists.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are able to drive ideas forward with seed funding and likely have some money to fall back on later in the project.</li>

= Background =

We are the Milwaukee School of Engineering, where students pursue their passions in engineering, nursing, and business. We're dreamers, thinkers, makers and doers at a small university that is dedicated to achieving big things. From international plumbing competitions to ground-breaking medical innovations, our community is making the most out of their education. 

Innovation and entrepreneurship at MSOE starts with the community of learners who feel that I&E is a priority. MSOE takes this journey of I&E through five phases: Discover, Learn, Experiment, Pursue, and Spin Out. Discover begins by generating awareness, importance and fundamental elements of I&E to students. Students then realize I&E is important and we want to get involved in a deeper way when we Learn. Experiment to apply knowledge of I&E to a specific challenge/problem and form design teams or solo work to explore that potential. Students who Pursue are committing to an opportunity to license a technology, form or join a venture startup, or attain legal status. Finally, Spin Out to commercialize entities and pivot further to adapt innovations to the needs of the marketplace. MSOE's Landscape Canvas highlights I&E that is present at our university.

<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>'''Background''': The Commons is an entrepreneurial skills accelerator that drives students and young professionals through a process of Design Thinking in order to give a startup its foundation or execute a corporate challenge.</li>
<li>'''How it works''': Students apply and must be accepted to the program. Students then attend a kickoff weekend, are presented projects, pick a project, then spend 9 weeks going through processes of Customer Discovery, Ideation/Brainstorming, Defining a Problem, Creating a Solution, and Drafting a Business Plan. At the end of everything, the information is presented to the rest of the team in the form of a 4 minute pitch. Groups meet each Tuesday for 3 hours to run through the workshop of the week and often meet with each other one more time in the week, performing around 3-4 additional hours of work outside of the Tuesday sessions.</li>
<li>'''Mission''': For the students of Southeast Wisconsin’s colleges and universities, The Commons is an opportunity to get firmly planted in the region’s growing innovation economy. It's a chance to put skills to the test with real-world projects, work with talented peers and find the mentorship / networking opportunities that (pardon the cliche) are game-changers for their career paths. (thecommonswi.com)</li>
<li>'''Entrepreneurial Tie''': The Commons invokes the entrepreneurial mindset in students who will return to studies and careers in their respective fields with a new outlook.</li>
<li>'''Competitors''': I-Corps - but I-Corps targets a different audience, usually more so groups of students looking to develop their idea into a company. The Commons is able to help both the student looking to move forward their startup as well as the students who want to contribute to something and put to use the skills they’ve been learning in class.</li>
<li>'''Outcome''': Students return changed individuals to their universities and jobs. People who go through The Commons have a stronger tie to their entrepreneurial community, a passion for creativity and innovation, and the tools to handle any problem or project they may encounter.</li>

Once accepted, the student teams gather weekly for a series of five weeks to work through a “Lean Startup” process that moves their project ideas forward quickly and with a good foundation. Students receive a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) at the end of the 5 weeks to move forward with the project.</li>
<li>Mission: Funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Milwaukee I-Corps Program offers researchers and entrepreneurs a chance to explore the viability of their technologies and ventures through the “Lean Startup” or “Lean Launch” process of direct engagement with the potential markets. Through a five-week workshop, participants are coached on designing and validating a business model around their idea and deciding whether the idea is a go/no-go decision based on their business model.  Regardless of the go/no-go outcome, teams will develop valuable skills in discovering the market – skills that will inform their research, business, and careers. ([http://icorpsmilwaukee.org http://icorpsmilwaukee.org])</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: Pushes forward student projects by providing them with a model to follow in order to gain progress as well as funding to accomplish things like prototyping, marketing, etc.</li>
<li>Competitors: The Commons - I-Corps focuses on getting projects to the stage of prototyping, so the project can make changes and pivot if need be. They get the projects through the rough part of honing in and creating a viable solution.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are encouraged to follow the inklings and create the ideas they think of. Students come out of I-Corps with the tools to move forward with prototyping and refining the solution the group has created. Students will also come out with the knowledge enabling them to reach out to additional investors to keep the project moving forward if that is what the group needs.</li>

<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Background:  Students either kickstarting their Senior Design Project or Honors Servant Leadership Project may apply for up to $500 as seed funding.</li>
<li>How it works: Students fill out an application outlining the project, what the money will be used for, and why it’s important that they receive this seed money. There is a finite amount of funding, and it is dealt out first come first serve.</li>
<li>Mission: To enable students with projects to get off the ground and ensure they have a solid foundation to get off of. Going through the application process also forces the student, if they haven’t already, to aggregate and deliver the project concisely in a way that would warrant them funding.</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: The seed funding enables students to achieve goals more quickly as funding may be something holding students back from moving forward with their project.</li>
<li>Competitors: Any outside or inside investors - Senior Design Seed Funding however, is both certainly reliable and relatively easy to obtain compared to outside sources of funding like Angel Investors or Venture Capitalists.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are able to drive ideas forward with seed funding and likely have some money to fall back on later in the project.</li>

The Rapid Prototyping Center (RPC) is an applied research center that helps businesses achieve prototype more quickly and take products to market faster. This joint effort of industry, government and MSOE is dedicated to the application of proven technologies to novel challenges. According to an article celebrating the 25th anniversary of the RPC, “Manufacturing companies in the automotive, defense, water, medical device and health care industries comprise the consortium at MSOE, where members consult with each other and MSOE to develop cutting edge products and solutions. It’s cost effective and they rely on MSOE’s experts to help with R&D efforts. They also have access to leading additive manufacturing technologies at MSOE

MickeyThiry:

= Background =

We are the Milwaukee School of Engineering, where students pursue their passions in engineering, nursing, and business. We're dreamers, thinkers, makers and doers at a small university that is dedicated to achieving big things. From international plumbing competitions to ground-breaking medical innovations, our community is making the most out of their education. 

Innovation and entrepreneurship at MSOE starts with the community of learners who feel that I&E is a priority. MSOE takes this journey of I&E through five phases: Discover, Learn, Experiment, Pursue, and Spin Out. Discover begins by generating awareness, importance and fundamental elements of I&E to students. Students then realize I&E is important and we want to get involved in a deeper way when we Learn. Experiment to apply knowledge of I&E to a specific challenge/problem and form design teams or solo work to explore that potential. Students who Pursue are committing to an opportunity to license a technology, form or join a venture startup, or attain legal status. Finally, Spin Out to commercialize entities and pivot further to adapt innovations to the needs of the marketplace. MSOE's Landscape Canvas highlights I&E that is present at our university.

Current university technology transfer functions are limited on campus, but MSOE does have a few programs that we are proud to display. The first two are programs offered in the city of Milwaukee while the last is something offered exclusively by MSOE to MSOE students.

= <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 Commons =
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>'''Background''': The Commons is an entrepreneurial skills accelerator that drives students and young professionals through a process of Design Thinking in order to give a startup its foundation or execute a corporate challenge.</li>
<li>'''How it works''': Students apply and must be accepted to the program. Students then attend a kickoff weekend, are presented projects, pick a project, then spend 9 weeks going through processes of Customer Discovery, Ideation/Brainstorming, Defining a Problem, Creating a Solution, and Drafting a Business Plan. At the end of everything, the information is presented to the rest of the team in the form of a 4 minute pitch. Groups meet each Tuesday for 3 hours to run through the workshop of the week and often meet with each other one more time in the week, performing around 3-4 additional hours of work outside of the Tuesday sessions.</li>
<li>'''Mission''': For the students of Southeast Wisconsin’s colleges and universities, The Commons is an opportunity to get firmly planted in the region’s growing innovation economy. It's a chance to put skills to the test with real-world projects, work with talented peers and find the mentorship / networking opportunities that (pardon the cliche) are game-changers for their career paths. (thecommonswi.com)</li>
<li>'''Entrepreneurial Tie''': The Commons invokes the entrepreneurial mindset in students who will return to studies and careers in their respective fields with a new outlook.</li>
<li>'''Competitors''': I-Corps - but I-Corps targets a different audience, usually more so groups of students looking to develop their idea into a company. The Commons is able to help both the student looking to move forward their startup as well as the students who want to contribute to something and put to use the skills they’ve been learning in class.</li>
<li>'''Outcome''': Students return changed individuals to their universities and jobs. People who go through The Commons have a stronger tie to their entrepreneurial community, a passion for creativity and innovation, and the tools to handle any problem or project they may encounter.</li>
</ul>

<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Background: Students from Milwaukee universities attend a session</li>
<li>How it works: Students apply to the program in the early months of the year. Once accepted, the student teams gather weekly for a series of five weeks to work through a “Lean Startup” process that moves their project ideas forward quickly and with a good foundation. Students receive a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) at the end of the 5 weeks to move forward with the project.</li>
<li>Mission: Funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Milwaukee I-Corps Program offers researchers and entrepreneurs a chance to explore the viability of their technologies and ventures through the “Lean Startup” or “Lean Launch” process of direct engagement with the potential markets. Through a five-week workshop, participants are coached on designing and validating a business model around their idea and deciding whether the idea is a go/no-go decision based on their business model.  Regardless of the go/no-go outcome, teams will develop valuable skills in discovering the market – skills that will inform their research, business, and careers. ([http://icorpsmilwaukee.org http://icorpsmilwaukee.org])</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: Pushes forward student projects by providing them with a model to follow in order to gain progress as well as funding to accomplish things like prototyping, marketing, etc.</li>
<li>Competitors: The Commons - I-Corps focuses on getting projects to the stage of prototyping, so the project can make changes and pivot if need be. They get the projects through the rough part of honing in and creating a viable solution.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are encouraged to follow the inklings and create the ideas they think of. Students come out of I-Corps with the tools to move forward with prototyping and refining the solution the group has created. Students will also come out with the knowledge enabling them to reach out to additional investors to keep the project moving forward if that is what the group needs.</li>
</ul>

<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Background:  Students either kickstarting their Senior Design Project or Honors Servant Leadership Project may apply for up to $500 as seed funding.</li>
<li>How it works: Students fill out an application outlining the project, what the money will be used for, and why it’s important that they receive this seed money. There is a finite amount of funding, and it is dealt out first come first serve.</li>
<li>Mission: To enable students with projects to get off the ground and ensure they have a solid foundation to get off of. Going through the application process also forces the student, if they haven’t already, to aggregate and deliver the project concisely in a way that would warrant them funding.</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: The seed funding enables students to achieve goals more quickly as funding may be something holding students back from moving forward with their project.</li>
<li>Competitors: Any outside or inside investors - Senior Design Seed Funding however, is both certainly reliable and relatively easy to obtain compared to outside sources of funding like Angel Investors or Venture Capitalists.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are able to drive ideas forward with seed funding and likely have some money to fall back on later in the project.</li>

MickeyThiry:

= Background =

We are the Milwaukee School of Engineering, where students pursue their passions in engineering, nursing, and business. We're dreamers, thinkers, makers and doers at a small university that is dedicated to achieving big things. From international plumbing competitions to ground-breaking medical innovations, our community is making the most out of their education. 

Innovation and entrepreneurship at MSOE starts with the community of learners who feel that I&E is a priority. MSOE takes this journey of I&E through five phases: Discover, Learn, Experiment, Pursue, and Spin Out. Discover begins by generating awareness, importance and fundamental elements of I&E to students. Students then realize I&E is important and we want to get involved in a deeper way when we Learn. Experiment to apply knowledge of I&E to a specific challenge/problem and form design teams or solo work to explore that potential. Students who Pursue are committing to an opportunity to license a technology, form or join a venture startup, or attain legal status. Finally, Spin Out to commercialize entities and pivot further to adapt innovations to the needs of the marketplace. MSOE's Landscape Canvas highlights I&E that is present at our university.

Current university technology transfer functions are limited on campus, but MSOE does have a few programs that we are proud to display. The first two are programs offered in the city of Milwaukee while the last is something offered exclusively by MSOE to MSOE students.

= <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 Commons =
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>'''Background''': The Commons is an entrepreneurial skills accelerator that drives students and young professionals through a process of Design Thinking in order to give a startup its foundation or execute a corporate challenge.</li>
<li>'''How it works''': Students apply and must be accepted to the program. Students then attend a kickoff weekend, are presented projects, pick a project, then spend 9 weeks going through processes of Customer Discovery, Ideation/Brainstorming, Defining a Problem, Creating a Solution, and Drafting a Business Plan. At the end of everything, the information is presented to the rest of the team in the form of a 4 minute pitch. Groups meet each Tuesday for 3 hours to run through the workshop of the week and often meet with each other one more time in the week, performing around 3-4 additional hours of work outside of the Tuesday sessions.</li>
<li>'''Mission''': For the students of Southeast Wisconsin’s colleges and universities, The Commons is an opportunity to get firmly planted in the region’s growing innovation economy. It's a chance to put skills to the test with real-world projects, work with talented peers and find the mentorship / networking opportunities that (pardon the cliche) are game-changers for their career paths. (thecommonswi.com)</li>
<li>'''Entrepreneurial Tie''': The Commons invokes the entrepreneurial mindset in students who will return to studies and careers in their respective fields with a new outlook.</li>
<li>'''Competitors''': I-Corps - but I-Corps targets a different audience, usually more so groups of students looking to develop their idea into a company. The Commons is able to help both the student looking to move forward their startup as well as the students who want to contribute to something and put to use the skills they’ve been learning in class.</li>
<li>'''Outcome''': Students return changed individuals to their universities and jobs. People who go through The Commons have a stronger tie to their entrepreneurial community, a passion for creativity and innovation, and the tools to handle any problem or project they may encounter.</li>
</ul>

<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Background: Students from Milwaukee universities attend a session</li>
<li>How it works: Students apply to the program in the early months of the year. Once accepted, the student teams gather weekly for a series of five weeks to work through a “Lean Startup” process that moves their project ideas forward quickly and with a good foundation. Students receive a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) at the end of the 5 weeks to move forward with the project.</li>
<li>Mission: Funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Milwaukee I-Corps Program offers researchers and entrepreneurs a chance to explore the viability of their technologies and ventures through the “Lean Startup” or “Lean Launch” process of direct engagement with the potential markets. Through a five-week workshop, participants are coached on designing and validating a business model around their idea and deciding whether the idea is a go/no-go decision based on their business model.  Regardless of the go/no-go outcome, teams will develop valuable skills in discovering the market – skills that will inform their research, business, and careers. ([http://icorpsmilwaukee.org http://icorpsmilwaukee.org])</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: Pushes forward student projects by providing them with a model to follow in order to gain progress as well as funding to accomplish things like prototyping, marketing, etc.</li>
<li>Competitors: The Commons - I-Corps focuses on getting projects to the stage of prototyping, so the project can make changes and pivot if need be. They get the projects through the rough part of honing in and creating a viable solution.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are encouraged to follow the inklings and create the ideas they think of. Students come out of I-Corps with the tools to move forward with prototyping and refining the solution the group has created. Students will also come out with the knowledge enabling them to reach out to additional investors to keep the project moving forward if that is what the group needs.</li>
</ul>

<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Background:  Students either kickstarting their Senior Design Project or Honors Servant Leadership Project may apply for up to $500 as seed funding.</li>
<li>How it works: Students fill out an application outlining the project, what the money will be used for, and why it’s important that they receive this seed money. There is a finite amount of funding, and it is dealt out first come first serve.</li>
<li>Mission: To enable students with projects to get off the ground and ensure they have a solid foundation to get off of. Going through the application process also forces the student, if they haven’t already, to aggregate and deliver the project concisely in a way that would warrant them funding.</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: The seed funding enables students to achieve goals more quickly as funding may be something holding students back from moving forward with their project.</li>
<li>Competitors: Any outside or inside investors - Senior Design Seed Funding however, is both certainly reliable and relatively easy to obtain compared to outside sources of funding like Angel Investors or Venture Capitalists.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are able to drive ideas forward with seed funding and likely have some money to fall back on later in the project.</li>

= Background =

We are the Milwaukee School of Engineering, where students pursue their passions in engineering, nursing, and business. We're dreamers, thinkers, makers and doers at a small university that is dedicated to achieving big things. From international plumbing competitions to ground-breaking medical innovations, our community is making the most out of their education. 

Innovation and entrepreneurship at MSOE starts with the community of learners who feel that I&E is a priority. MSOE takes this journey of I&E through five phases: Discover, Learn, Experiment, Pursue, and Spin Out. Discover begins by generating awareness, importance and fundamental elements of I&E to students. Students then realize I&E is important and we want to get involved in a deeper way when we Learn. Experiment to apply knowledge of I&E to a specific challenge/problem and form design teams or solo work to explore that potential. Students who Pursue are committing to an opportunity to license a technology, form or join a venture startup, or attain legal status. Finally, Spin Out to commercialize entities and pivot further to adapt innovations to the needs of the marketplace. MSOE's Landscape Canvas highlights I&E that is present at our university.

<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>'''Background''': The Commons is an entrepreneurial skills accelerator that drives students and young professionals through a process of Design Thinking in order to give a startup its foundation or execute a corporate challenge.</li>
<li>'''How it works''': Students apply and must be accepted to the program. Students then attend a kickoff weekend, are presented projects, pick a project, then spend 9 weeks going through processes of Customer Discovery, Ideation/Brainstorming, Defining a Problem, Creating a Solution, and Drafting a Business Plan. At the end of everything, the information is presented to the rest of the team in the form of a 4 minute pitch. Groups meet each Tuesday for 3 hours to run through the workshop of the week and often meet with each other one more time in the week, performing around 3-4 additional hours of work outside of the Tuesday sessions.</li>
<li>'''Mission''': For the students of Southeast Wisconsin’s colleges and universities, The Commons is an opportunity to get firmly planted in the region’s growing innovation economy. It's a chance to put skills to the test with real-world projects, work with talented peers and find the mentorship / networking opportunities that (pardon the cliche) are game-changers for their career paths. (thecommonswi.com)</li>
<li>'''Entrepreneurial Tie''': The Commons invokes the entrepreneurial mindset in students who will return to studies and careers in their respective fields with a new outlook.</li>
<li>'''Competitors''': I-Corps - but I-Corps targets a different audience, usually more so groups of students looking to develop their idea into a company. The Commons is able to help both the student looking to move forward their startup as well as the students who want to contribute to something and put to use the skills they’ve been learning in class.</li>
<li>'''Outcome''': Students return changed individuals to their universities and jobs. People who go through The Commons have a stronger tie to their entrepreneurial community, a passion for creativity and innovation, and the tools to handle any problem or project they may encounter.</li>
</ul>

<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Background: Students from Milwaukee universities attend a session</li>
<li>How it works: Students apply to the program in the early months of the year. Once accepted, the student teams gather weekly for a series of five weeks to work through a “Lean Startup” process that moves their project ideas forward quickly and with a good foundation. Students receive a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) at the end of the 5 weeks to move forward with the project.</li>
<li>Mission: Funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Milwaukee I-Corps Program offers researchers and entrepreneurs a chance to explore the viability of their technologies and ventures through the “Lean Startup” or “Lean Launch” process of direct engagement with the potential markets. Through a five-week workshop, participants are coached on designing and validating a business model around their idea and deciding whether the idea is a go/no-go decision based on their business model.  Regardless of the go/no-go outcome, teams will develop valuable skills in discovering the market – skills that will inform their research, business, and careers. ([http://icorpsmilwaukee.org http://icorpsmilwaukee.org])</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: Pushes forward student projects by providing them with a model to follow in order to gain progress as well as funding to accomplish things like prototyping, marketing, etc.</li>
<li>Competitors: The Commons - I-Corps focuses on getting projects to the stage of prototyping, so the project can make changes and pivot if need be. They get the projects through the rough part of honing in and creating a viable solution.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are encouraged to follow the inklings and create the ideas they think of. Students come out of I-Corps with the tools to move forward with prototyping and refining the solution the group has created. Students will also come out with the knowledge enabling them to reach out to additional investors to keep the project moving forward if that is what the group needs.</li>
</ul>

<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Background:  Students either kickstarting their Senior Design Project or Honors Servant Leadership Project may apply for up to $500 as seed funding.</li>
<li>How it works: Students fill out an application outlining the project, what the money will be used for, and why it’s important that they receive this seed money. There is a finite amount of funding, and it is dealt out first come first serve.</li>
<li>Mission: To enable students with projects to get off the ground and ensure they have a solid foundation to get off of. Going through the application process also forces the student, if they haven’t already, to aggregate and deliver the project concisely in a way that would warrant them funding.</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: The seed funding enables students to achieve goals more quickly as funding may be something holding students back from moving forward with their project.</li>
<li>Competitors: Any outside or inside investors - Senior Design Seed Funding however, is both certainly reliable and relatively easy to obtain compared to outside sources of funding like Angel Investors or Venture Capitalists.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are able to drive ideas forward with seed funding and likely have some money to fall back on later in the project.</li>

= Background =

We are the Milwaukee School of Engineering, where students pursue their passions in engineering, nursing, and business. We're dreamers, thinkers, makers and doers at a small university that is dedicated to achieving big things. From international plumbing competitions to ground-breaking medical innovations, our community is making the most out of their education. 

Innovation and entrepreneurship at MSOE starts with the community of learners who feel that I&E is a priority. MSOE takes this journey of I&E through five phases: Discover, Learn, Experiment, Pursue, and Spin Out. Discover begins by generating awareness, importance and fundamental elements of I&E to students. Students then realize I&E is important and we want to get involved in a deeper way when we Learn. Experiment to apply knowledge of I&E to a specific challenge/problem and form design teams or solo work to explore that potential. Students who Pursue are committing to an opportunity to license a technology, form or join a venture startup, or attain legal status. Finally, Spin Out to commercialize entities and pivot further to adapt innovations to the needs of the marketplace. MSOE's Landscape Canvas highlights I&E that is present at our university.

Find the links to our Landscape Canvas and Synthesis below.

Current university technology transfer functions are limited on campus, but MSOE does have a few programs that we are proud to display. The first two are programs offered in the city of Milwaukee while the last is something offered exclusively by MSOE to MSOE students.

<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>'''Background''': The Commons is an entrepreneurial skills accelerator that drives students and young professionals through a process of Design Thinking in order to give a startup its foundation or execute a corporate challenge.</li>
<li>'''How it works''': Students apply and must be accepted to the program. Students then attend a kickoff weekend, are presented projects, pick a project, then spend 9 weeks going through processes of Customer Discovery, Ideation/Brainstorming, Defining a Problem, Creating a Solution, and Drafting a Business Plan. At the end of everything, the information is presented to the rest of the team in the form of a 4 minute pitch. Groups meet each Tuesday for 3 hours to run through the workshop of the week and often meet with each other one more time in the week, performing around 3-4 additional hours of work outside of the Tuesday sessions.</li>
<li>'''Mission''': For the students of Southeast Wisconsin’s colleges and universities, The Commons is an opportunity to get firmly planted in the region’s growing innovation economy. It's a chance to put skills to the test with real-world projects, work with talented peers and find the mentorship / networking opportunities that (pardon the cliche) are game-changers for their career paths. (thecommonswi.com)</li>
<li>'''Entrepreneurial Tie''': The Commons invokes the entrepreneurial mindset in students who will return to studies and careers in their respective fields with a new outlook.</li>
<li>'''Competitors''': I-Corps - but I-Corps targets a different audience, usually more so groups of students looking to develop their idea into a company. The Commons is able to help both the student looking to move forward their startup as well as the students who want to contribute to something and put to use the skills they’ve been learning in class.</li>
<li>'''Outcome''': Students return changed individuals to their universities and jobs. People who go through The Commons have a stronger tie to their entrepreneurial community, a passion for creativity and innovation, and the tools to handle any problem or project they may encounter.</li>
</ul>

<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Background: Students from Milwaukee universities attend a session</li>
<li>How it works: Students apply to the program in the early months of the year. Once accepted, the student teams gather weekly for a series of five weeks to work through a “Lean Startup” process that moves their project ideas forward quickly and with a good foundation. Students receive a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) at the end of the 5 weeks to move forward with the project.</li>
<li>Mission: Funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Milwaukee I-Corps Program offers researchers and entrepreneurs a chance to explore the viability of their technologies and ventures through the “Lean Startup” or “Lean Launch” process of direct engagement with the potential markets. Through a five-week workshop, participants are coached on designing and validating a business model around their idea and deciding whether the idea is a go/no-go decision based on their business model.  Regardless of the go/no-go outcome, teams will develop valuable skills in discovering the market – skills that will inform their research, business, and careers. ([http://icorpsmilwaukee.org http://icorpsmilwaukee.org])</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: Pushes forward student projects by providing them with a model to follow in order to gain progress as well as funding to accomplish things like prototyping, marketing, etc.</li>
<li>Competitors: The Commons - I-Corps focuses on getting projects to the stage of prototyping, so the project can make changes and pivot if need be. They get the projects through the rough part of honing in and creating a viable solution.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are encouraged to follow the inklings and create the ideas they think of. Students come out of I-Corps with the tools to move forward with prototyping and refining the solution the group has created. Students will also come out with the knowledge enabling them to reach out to additional investors to keep the project moving forward if that is what the group needs.</li>
</ul>

<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Background:  Students either kickstarting their Senior Design Project or Honors Servant Leadership Project may apply for up to $500 as seed funding.</li>
<li>How it works: Students fill out an application outlining the project, what the money will be used for, and why it’s important that they receive this seed money. There is a finite amount of funding, and it is dealt out first come first serve.</li>
<li>Mission: To enable students with projects to get off the ground and ensure they have a solid foundation to get off of. Going through the application process also forces the student, if they haven’t already, to aggregate and deliver the project concisely in a way that would warrant them funding.</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: The seed funding enables students to achieve goals more quickly as funding may be something holding students back from moving forward with their project.</li>
<li>Competitors: Any outside or inside investors - Senior Design Seed Funding however, is both certainly reliable and relatively easy to obtain compared to outside sources of funding like Angel Investors or Venture Capitalists.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are able to drive ideas forward with seed funding and likely have some money to fall back on later in the project.</li>

= Overview =

Milwaukee School of Engineering is excited to share with you the strategies we have created for establishing I&E on campus and in our community. We currently have a presence on campus, but feel that it is too disperse and needs to be connected, strengthened, and highlighted as a priority in order to educate and excite people about the power of I&E.

On this page you will find five strategies to create a presence of I&E on our MSOE campus that will help students, faculty, staff, the community, and all other people where our outreach extends to learn and get excited about brainstorming, entrepreneurship, innovative thinking, forming creative solutions, thinking future-forward, prototyping, design thinking, and implementation.

= Strategies for Expansion of Innovation and Entrepreneurship on Campus =

== Strategy One: [Insert Name] ==

[2-3 paragraphs]

== Strategy Two: [Insert Name] ==

[2-3 paragraphs]

== Strategy Three: [Insert Name] ==

[2-3 paragraphs]

== Strategy Four: Series of Innovative and Entrepreneurial Events ==

Once the first step of creating the makerspace on campus is complete, there a number of events, ideas, and activities that the space will be used for. One way the space will serve I&E is through different events on campus that are listed below. These include (but are not limited to) Speakers and TED Talks, Pop-Up Classes, an annual Make-a-thon, I&E Workshops, and a number of other events that are sure to pop up as the space becomes utilized and available to other groups on and off of campus. These events can be brought to the space by student organizations, faculty and staff, interested students, the community, professors for class applications, the unviersity, and a number of other avenues. Find example of activities below.

=== Speakers and TED Talks ===

Bringing speakers to our campus and our makerspace to talk about I&E would be an amazing way to motivate students to get involved and get thinking about I&E. We would like speakers to cover topics such as startups, design thinking, entrepreneurial financing, and many other topics.

We would really like to see the TED-X Speakers come to our campus and present to our students, faculty and staff, the community and any other interested party. TED talks would be a great way to expand knowledge and interest in the I&E field. We would also like to see our own faculty speak about the research that they are a part of outside of classes and office hours so that we can get to know what it is that they are truly passionate about.

=== Pop-Up Classes ===

These classes are an opportunity for those with experience in I&E to share that experience and for those who want to learn more/ expand their knowledge to continue to grow in I&E. Classes would cover topics such as brainstorming, prototyping, design thinking, and creating innovative solutions.

=== Make-a-thon ===

An annual Make-a-thon would provide students an opportunity to collaborate between disciplines and to work together to think in terms of I&E and come up with new, future-forward ideas. This is an event for students to come together, brainstorm, prototype, and possible implement and idea that they are passionate about.

=== I&E Workshops ===

Workshops would be a more hands-on version of the pop-up classes that would allow students the opportunity to drop in a session and learn a few things about I&E by physically prototyping, brainstorming, and creating ideas. 

== Strategy Five: [Insert Name] ==

[2-3 paragraphs]

= MSOE Makerspace: =

Stay tuned! There is more to come on the Makerspace as we get information and develop the space furthur. This will be an exciting space for the internal operations, external operations, community, and students, faculty and staff at MSOE. It will be a space for events, activities, studying, collaboration, speakers, outside events, community involvement, and many MANY other applications.

We would really like to see the TED-X Speakers come to our campus and present to our students, faculty and staff, the community and any other interested party. TED talks would be a great way to expand knowledge and interest in the I&E field. We would also like to see our own faculty speak about the research that they are a part of outside of classes and office hours so that we can get to know what it is that they are truly passionate about.

=== Pop-Up Classes ===

These classes are an opportunity for those with experience in I&E to share that experience and for those who want to learn more/ expand their knowledge to continue to grow in I&E. Classes would cover topics such as brainstorming, prototyping, design thinking, and creating innovative solutions.

=== Make-a-thon ===

An annual Make-a-thon would provide students an opportunity to collaborate between disciplines and to work together to think in terms of I&E and come up with new, future-forward ideas. This is an event for students to come together, brainstorm, prototype, and possible implement and idea that they are passionate about.

=== I&E Workshops ===

Workshops would be a more hands-on version of the pop-up classes that would allow students the opportunity to drop in a session and learn a few things about I&E by physically prototyping, brainstorming, and creating ideas.

Once the first step of creating the makerspace on campus is complete, there a number of events, ideas, and activities that the space will be used for. One way the space will serve I&E is through different events on campus that are listed below. These include (but are not limited to) Speakers and TED Talks, Pop-Up Classes, an annual Make-a-thon, I&E Workshops, and a number of other events that are sure to pop up as the space becomes utilized and available to other groups on and off of campus. These events can be brought to the space by student organizations, faculty and staff, interested students, the community, professors for class applications, the unviersity, and a number of other avenues. Find example of activities below.

= Overview =

Michigan Tech’s campus is poised to be a model for student innovation and entrepreneurship. The State of Michigan has recognized the Houghton / Hancock area as a hotbed of innovation, and efforts to connect the School of Business and the School of Engineering are creating new business opportunities daily.

The problem isn’t ideas. It rarely ever is. Uniquely, Michigan Tech doesn’t suffer from a talent gap. Michigan Tech’s engineers are recruited around the globe for their hands-on experience and industry-focused education.

We’ll include a story to summarize the problem at Michigan Tech:  One day in early April, a venture capitalist (VC) from Silicon Valley came to Michigan Tech to do due-diligence on a new technology being developed in 3D printing. The VC gave a speech and discussed her time at Stanford. She said, “I never thought about being involved in venture capital, but when I got to school, everyone was talking about starting a business and I felt like I needed to get plugged into that ecosystem.” Michigan Tech lacks that passion, enthusiasm, and culture. These three strategies are designed to remedy that challenge.

A new center for innovation and entrepreneurship is the proposed solution. It uses new academic opportunities, event programming, and startup support to drive a culture shift towards innovation and entrepreneurship.

= Strategies for Expansion of Innovation and Entrepreneurship on Campus =

== Strategy One: Innovation Learning Community ==

With the formation of the new Pavlis Honors College on Michigan Tech's campus, the are plenty of new opportunities available to introduce innovation and creative thinking early in the student experience. One of the best ways to inspire a shared vision within students is provide them with the opportunity to spend time with other students who are interested in similar ideas. By creating an environment where students are constantly challenged to think differently in their everyday experiences, they will develop a more diverse set of problem solving skills to implement in their daily lives.

Next year the Pavlis Honors College will have a learning community for first year students in the College. This will be a great opportunity to test out some creative ways to incorporate creative thinking into residence hall life. Resident Assistants are currently required to create programs for their students to participate in and this would be an exceptional opportunity to test out some new ideas. Some of these programs that they do with their students make include some of the events such as the Make-a-thon or the 10X Thinking Workshop.

== Strategy Two: Innovation and Brainstorming Course ==

Currently, first year engineering students can be found using their brainstorming and innovation skills in class. These skills are typically not used again until the student reaches their fourth or fifth year and are taking Senior Design or join an Enterprise Team. There are many instances where students have a hard time trying to think of ideas for projects because they are trying to focus on what they have learned from the books, but when they get out into the real world, the answer will not be in the back of the book.

This class will help students to continue to use their brainstorming and innovation tools that they have learned so that they can use these tools in the future. This course will also help guide students to think outside the box so that it is easier to tackle problems in future courses and in the real world. This could possibly be a program of classes that will take place during both the student's second and third year in order to make sure that the student is ready to tackle the final projects before graduating and heading out into the work force.

== Strategy Three: Innovation Retreat ==

Currently, Michigan Tech has a focus on retreats for Leadership and similar skills, but no such thing for Innovation. There is plenty of time within the curriculum schedules of students who are interested to attend a weekend retreat to the surrounding wilderness of Michigan Tech, and focus solely on Innovation and Entrepreneurship, to help cultivate an Innovative Mindset.

This retreat would help students cultivate Innovation Mindsets by presenting them with real world challenges, and giving them time to work on finding solutions for these challenges, followed by creating prototypes of their solutions by using whatever resources they find in the surrounding area. On the final day, the students will discuss challenges in the local community of Michigan Tech and how they might go about solving those challenges, as well as other strategies for staying involved in an innovation mindset after they leave the retreat.

== Strategy Four: I&E Event Series ==

After creating an amazing collaborative space on campus, there will be plenty of opportunities to host events focused on innovation and entrepreneurship. These events will focus on creating excitement about the new initiatives on campus and recruit motivated students for the new I&E section of the Pavlis Honors College. The Pathways team has been working on bringing in a few speakers, and the student programming board is already planning an event to be held in the space.

Examples of events that can be held in the space include:

'''Speaker Series''' - Bringing in guest speakers who have had experience with I&E and have proven to be a strong motivating force for involving students. Possible topics include opportunity recognition, legal principles, entrepreneurial finance, strategic partnering and building effective startup teams.

Recent interviews have brought to life the importance of bringing in fresh faces from outside of the Michigan Tech community or alumni who have moved on and are doing incredible things.  Likewise, there should be speakers from a variety of disciplines.

Examples of speakers that we would like to bring in are: Debbie Sterling (Founder/CEO of Goldieblox which produces engineering toys geared for a female market), William Henderickson (Founder/CEO of Avecka, Inc which specializes in particle technology, an example is E-ink), and many more!

'''Make-a-thon''' - An opportunity for student teams to come together and brainstorm possible solutions for an and all ideas. Some of these projects and ideas could potentailly be carried on after the end of the event.

'''3 Day Startup''' - As mentioned in the spring overview, the goal of the event is to connect engineers who may be interested in working with a startup to business leaders with ideas they would love to see come to life.

'''10X Thinking Workshop''' - An opportunity for students to understand the steps to brainstorming and prototyping an idea. One of these already happened on campus in a small scale, but the hope is to have more in order to reach more students. 

== Strategy Five: StartupTech ==

StartupTech is an Enterprise team that connects top student talent to student led startups. It utilizes the existing enterprise infrastructure to ensure student involvement by allowing students to work on a startup team as part of their required credits for graduation. Connecting engineering teams to students motivated by turning an idea into a business will help promote business development far more than it currently is at Michigan Tech.

The program will provide supprt for new entreprenuers by sponsoring workshops, recruiting advisors, and giving these teams a space to work and the resources necessary to turn their dreams into reality. Hopefully this program would be implemented alongside of the expansion to the larger invention space on campus, providing teams with space in a modern office equiped with state of the art technology. Funds would also be available for some business development expenses such as travel expenses, office supplies, hardware, software licenses, etc.

A Board of Directors for the program would consist of faculty involved in I&E on campus, a representative from the Houghton SmartZone and a student with startup and leadership experience. The board will be responsible for selecting the ventures to include in the program as well as monitoring the students participating in the program.

== Strategy Six: Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship ==

=== Command the Dialogue ===

Overview: As mentioned above, the culture at Michigan Tech rarely caters to inventions and entrepreneurship. Although, the new Pavlis Honors College is in the works with Dean Lorelle Meadows to create a Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation within the college. This center would provide staff to bring all resources and inititives currently happening at Michigan Tech under one roof. Then the staff could grow as needed, working to change the culture on campus to be more entrepreneurial. The center will also house a student organization with the mission of increasing entrepreneurship from the student's perspective. The proposed name is MUBX. 

==== 3DS  ====

MUBX will be responsible for bringing the Three Day Startup (3DS) event to Michigan Tech’s campus. The goal of event will be to connect engineers who may be interested in working with a startup to business leaders with ideas that they’d love to see come to fruition.

MUBX will work with the School of Business and Economics to support 3DS startups that leave the event excited about starting a new venture by encouraging them to enter in the [http://www.mtu.edu/business/newventure/ New Venture Competition (NVC)].

==== TEDx  ====

In 2013, Michigan Tech held their first ever TEDx. Only 100 tickets were available and at $10 apiece, they sold out within minutes of going on sale. The event’s reach was limited, but provided a breath of energy to the campus. It got people talking.

==== TechMakers I  ====

TechMakers will be an extension of the TechHacks concept planned and executed by the [https://www.involvement.mtu.edu/organization/ACM Association for Computing Machinery (ACM)] chapter at Michigan Tech. MUBX will support ACM and expand the event to include all majors and facilitate creation across campus.

Teams that move through the 3DS program and are interested in competing in the NVC will be encouraged to attend TechMakers I as an opportunity to deliver a prototype to the NVC judges. 

=== The Opportunity to Learn ===

Overview: The greatest incentive a university can offer a student to encourage learning is credit towards graduation. By applying entrepreneurial and innovative courses to the existing curriculum structure, students will have an opportunity to grow their skill set within the I&E space.

By pulling together existing classes and proposing new ones, the LearnX branch will empower students to take the next step.

==== Lean Startup ====

A lean startup course has already been proposed by the NCIIA Pathways group and is being implemented during the Summer of 2014 as a pilot course. This course will hopefully grow in size and popularity as more students become interested in innovation and entrepreneurship.

==== Design for Organizations ====

Right now Michigan Tech doesn’t offer any comprehensive graphic design or marketing crash course. This (new) course will teach students the basics of the Adobe Creative Suite, as well as basic marketing psychology. The course instruction will center around working with real-world clients and applying the concepts to small businesses (start-ups) and student organizations.   

==== Technology Commercialization ====

As a continuation of a course already offered by Michigan Tech, this section will focus on how to transform research into a viable business. With a strong focus on customer voice and the business model canvas, this class will help researchers and innovators bridge the gap between idea and market success.

==== Grand Challenges Scholars Program ====

The Grand Challenges Scholars Program has five components: service learning, entrepreneurship, inter-disciplinary, research and a global dimension. Michigan Tech has the Pavlis Honors College that parallel this program closely with five pathways: service, innovation, industry, research and global. Michigan Tech also has a letter of commitment to the Grand Scholars Program. After attending the Global Grand Challenges Summit of 2015, a quote that resonated with me was: “inspiring the engineers of tomorrow”. In order to bring this back to Michigan Tech, myself and Amanda Moya, who was also able to attend the Summit, are in the process of inspiring students with the intent of bringing guest speakers to campus and implementing challenge programs in the Pavlis Honors College that allow students to begin working on projects and utilizing all their potential from day one of their time on campus.

Our first formal presentation of the idea is set for October 13th, 2015. By the end of October 2015, we hope to have the necessary stakeholders from the College of Engineering and Pavlis Honors College supporting this strategy. Amanda and I are aiming to present our challenge program idea to the first-year students interested in the Pavlis Honors College and also to the members of the Pavlis Honors College at an all-cohort meeting before the end of the fall 2015 semester in order to introduce students to the idea. We hope to gain student interest and support of the challenge program with students outside the Pavlis Honors College by advertising the guest speakers through Student Activities, MUB Board and on-campus advertising. Before the end of the spring 2016 semester, the goal is to host the first guest speaker in order to gain momentum and keep student interest. If all goes well, we would like to have the challenge program in place for students to begin next year, fall 2016 semester, at the earliest. 

==== Looking Forward ====

While these classes mark a great start in empowering students to extend their development in innovation and entrepreneurship, they won’t be enough in the long term. As a part of LearnX, faculty and staff will be encouraged to offer one-credit seminars in areas they’re passionate about. This could range from an exploration of Google Glass to a series of lectures on programming competitively.

This collection of courses is designed to give students who think they may be interested in innovation or entrepreneurship the opportunity to grow, and dabble, in a formalized setting.

=== Support the Culture ===

==== TechX ====

TechX is the culmination of the previous two strategies. Once a student is introduced to the concept of a startup through MUBX, and is equipped with the tools to make the startup successful though LearnX, they move onto TechX. TechX is a startup incubator modeled after Stanford’s StartX.

TechX will provide a variety of resources to fledgling startups in order to support their development. The concept of TechX is still being developed.  It is being designed by student entrepreneurs, for students.

==== Space ====

Like most universities, space is in short supply at Michigan Tech. TechX will provide startups with premier workspace, featuring an open and flexible floor plan. This space will be designed to support a variety of team, and individual, work. A modern atmosphere and amenities will encourage the best startups to call TechX home.

==== Mentorship ====

A key component to the TechX program will be access to mentorship opportunities through the University. These mentors may include one-on-ones with successful leaders in the industry, or faculty who have technical experience in the startup’s field.

Each startup will be assigned a handpicked team of advisors who will provide advice on running a startup, leading teams, raising capital, and so on.

''Mentorship & Collaboration Sub Project:''

A common theme we have heard is that students don’t know about the resources available to them- including the interests and experience of fellow students.  In order to help connect students to each other and to faculty mentors for projects, an online database system has been proposed. This searchable database would allow entrepreneurial students and faculty to identify their needs for like-minded business partners, or with a background in certain skills. The idea is to encourage collaboration of students across various departments.   All users would have the option and ability to provide as little or as much information about their skills as they’d like, and also be able to tag themselves as having experience with various methods and materials, such as 3D printing, electronics, or marketing strategy.

==== Funding ====

While no significant funding will be provided through the TechX program, small amounts of funds will be made available to teams in order to facilitate business growth. Funding may be allocated for travel, marketing materials, and business needs to help get the startup off the ground.

=== General Overview ===

= Completed Strategies =

== Invention Space  ==

A small maker space has been completed to be implemented in the current Enterprise lab. At this time, there are very few spaces on campus where students can come together and work collaboratively and have access to prototyping tools and supplies. Much of the renovation necessary to create an effective invention space has been completed, but additional support is needed to gather tools and supplies. This space will allow us to obtain student feedback in order to potentially expand to a much larger and extensive invention space on campus.

This space will serve multiple purposes outside of providing a collaborative workspace. It can be used to hold classes in an non-traditional style classroom with an alternative setup. The Invention Space will also host events focusing on innovation and entrepreneurship on campus mentioned below. The space will also serve as an "IP Free" zone in hopes that students would be less worried about having to worry about legal issues with the University and more focused on creating new ideas.

Key Features:

Movable furniture: tables with adjustable heights, adjustable rolling chairs, and stackable seating.

Prototyping supplies: one wall of the room will be lined with cheap craft supplies and an array of tools for students to use

Technology: projector for student teams to present their ideas and 3-4 desktop computers used for product design

Other: storage space for student teams, portable whiteboards, and power distribution throughout the space for students to plug in
