=Promoting Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship=

Student innovation at Clemson University starts with engaged learning and undergraduate research, which is combined in the '''Creative Inquiry Program'''.  This program has had immense success in inspiring students to get involved in design and innovation.  '''Engineering World Health (EWH), Clemson Engineers for Developing Countries (CEDC), '''and '''Engineers Without Borders (EWB)''' also have a large presence on the campus and motivate students to change the world through their ideas.

In addition to these national programs '''The DEN''' (Design and Entrepreneurship Network) has become influential on campus. The DEN has proven to be a valuable resources for students interested in Entrepreneurship by hosting events like '''3 Day Startup''' and '''Startup Weekend'''.  Clemson's '''IDEAS (Innovation, Design and Entrepreneurship Among Students) and CUBS (Community for Undergraduate Business Students) Communities '''house students from a variety of disciplines with an interest in innovation and entrepreneurship. Students from across campus also have the opportunity to participate in competitions like the '''CECAS Spark Challenge''' and the '''Walter Hunter Business Plan Competition and Lecture Series Pitch Smackdown'''. These competitions encourage students to get involved in the I&E infrastructure both on campus and beyond.

Captivating innovation talks are held on campus twice a month. '''VoxNovo Talks''', hosted by the Clemson Graduate Student Government, and '''Tiger Talks''', hosted by the Clemson Bioengineering Society, are two popular events that bring together inspirational individuals where shared ideas and perspectives change the world. '''TEDx '''has also been a recent addition to the Clemson innovative atmosphere. The '''Arthur M. Spiro Institute for Entrepreneurial Leadership '''was founded with a mission to support education, research and outreach programs that promote entrepreneurial activity and economic development of the region, state, and nation.  The Spiro Institute draws from the expertise within the College of Business and Behavioral Science to explore entrepreneurial leadership. A unique graduate degree in entrepreneurship is offered at Clemson University: an''' MBA in Entrepreneurship and Innovation (MBAe)''' where students begin with an idea, apply rigorous business principles and graduate with both an MBA degree and a market-ready business idea.  Innovation and entrepreneurship is also captured in the '''Technology Entrepreneurship Certificate Program''', offered to all graduate students in engineering and science disciplines.  Students also have the opportunity to graduate in a Business Management Major with an emphasis area in Entrepreneurship. Opportunities for funding of student-led technologies is offered directly through '''LaunchPadSC''', a competition that is designed to assist individuals and/or teams in the genesis of ideas for new business concepts and to help move them forward in the formation of potential new companies. Also available is mentorship and support through centers like the '''Clemson Regional Small Business Development Center (SBDC)'''.  Representatives offer personal consultation, guidance, and assistance to small business owners and entrepreneurs through one-on-one management and technical assistance as well as interactive webinar series. Mentoring is also available through the '''Sustainable Entrepreneurs & Economic Development (SEED) '''eight-session course that is designed to help early-stage entrepreneurs understand the business behind the success.

=Encouraging Faculty Innovation and Entrepreneurship=

The expertise and passion behind the faculty in course offerings taught in various departments is fundamentally what peaks the interest of students.  Early courses such as CES 102: Engineering Disciplines and Skills and MGT 201: Principles of Management touch on the importance of fundamental elements to innovation and entrepreneurship in the early undergraduate years.  Throughout the course of their undergraduate degree, students are exposed to courses that spark realization of the importance of innovation and entrepreneurship and foster deeper involvement.  Courses in the Executive Leadership and Entrepreneurship Department represent this sector in which faculty are minimally involved.  It is not until Senior Capstone Design classes such as Design Theory and Applied Design, that students begin to flourish under the mentorship of their faculty.

This relationship is also fostered by faculty involvement in programs like the nationally renowned [http://www.clemson.edu/academics/programs/creative-inquiry/ Creative Inquiry] program - where faculty sponsors play a large role in guiding the innovation techniques and actively contributing to the development of a technology. 

One recent initiative to foster cross-disciplinary and innovative curriculum has been made through the '''[http://www.clemson.edu/academics/programs/thinks2/ Clemson Thinks2] '''program. The program is built around the idea of Faculty Scholars developing Critical Thinking (CT) courses, based off the [http://www.clemson.edu/cuhonors/current-students/courses/SeminarsSpring2015.html Calhoun Honors College] seminar courses. 

Few faculty incentives are provided at Clemson University to promote innovation and entrepreneurship outside of the simple motivation for student education and learning.  Many faculty members strive for excellence in the research laboratory and cannot find time to chase their entrepreneurial dreams. Overall, the main motivation for faculty to conduct research and be innovative is to produce publications, secure grants, and gain points towards tenure.

=Actively Supporting the University Technology Transfer Function=

[[File:CURF.png|right|200x75px|CURF]]

The '''Clemson University Research Foundation (CURF)''' is a university corporation organized to provide leadership and expertise to maximize the societal impact of university research and innovation.  CURF manages the technology transfer functions of Clemson University by taking assignment of inventions, obtaining intellectual property protection, working with faculty to evaluate commercial potential of discoveries, and licensing inventions to the private sector for public use.

CURF owns and operates several facilities that support business incubation and enable Clemson research activities: the Center for Applied Technology, Griffith Incubator, and the National Brick Research Center.

CURF also has developed relationships with several technology advancement firms across the country that have the first  right of refusal for developing technologies.  One company to highlight is that of '''TAO Life Sciences''', who also has attained industry-partnership status and holds space in the CUBEInC. facility.

=Promoting Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship=

Student innovation at Clemson University starts with engaged learning and undergraduate research, which is combined in the '''Creative Inquiry Program'''.  This program has had immense success in inspiring students to get involved in design and innovation.  '''Engineering World Health (EWH), Clemson Engineers for Developing Countries (CEDC), '''and '''Engineers Without Borders (EWB)''' also have a large presence on the campus and motivate students to change the world through their ideas.

In addition to these national programs '''The DEN''' (Design and Entrepreneurship Network) has become influential on campus. The DEN has proven to be a valuable resources for students interested in Entrepreneurship by hosting events like '''3 Day Startup''' and '''Startup Weekend'''.  Clemson's '''IDEAS (Innovation, Design and Entrepreneurship Among Students) and CUBS (Community for Undergraduate Business Students) Communities '''house students from a variety of disciplines with an interest in innovation and entrepreneurship. Students from across campus also have the opportunity to participate in competitions like the '''CECAS Spark Challenge''' and the '''Walter Hunter Business Plan Competition and Lecture Series Pitch Smackdown'''. These competitions encourage students to get involved in the I&E infrastructure both on campus and beyond.

Captivating innovation talks are held on campus twice a month. '''VoxNovo Talks''', hosted by the Clemson Graduate Student Government, and '''Tiger Talks''', hosted by the Clemson Bioengineering Society, are two popular events that bring together inspirational individuals where shared ideas and perspectives change the world. '''TEDx '''has also been a recent addition to the Clemson innovative atmosphere. The '''Arthur M. Spiro Institute for Entrepreneurial Leadership '''was founded with a mission to support education, research and outreach programs that promote entrepreneurial activity and economic development of the region, state, and nation.  The Spiro Institute draws from the expertise within the College of Business and Behavioral Science to explore entrepreneurial leadership. A unique graduate degree in entrepreneurship is offered at Clemson University: an''' MBA in Entrepreneurship and Innovation (MBAe)''' where students begin with an idea, apply rigorous business principles and graduate with both an MBA degree and a market-ready business idea.  Innovation and entrepreneurship is also captured in the '''Technology Entrepreneurship Certificate Program''', offered to all graduate students in engineering and science disciplines.  Students also have the opportunity to graduate in a Business Management Major with an emphasis area in Entrepreneurship. Opportunities for funding of student-led technologies is offered directly through '''LaunchPadSC''', a competition that is designed to assist individuals and/or teams in the genesis of ideas for new business concepts and to help move them forward in the formation of potential new companies. Also available is mentorship and support through centers like the '''Clemson Regional Small Business Development Center (SBDC)'''.  Representatives offer personal consultation, guidance, and assistance to small business owners and entrepreneurs through one-on-one management and technical assistance as well as interactive webinar series. Mentoring is also available through the '''Sustainable Entrepreneurs & Economic Development (SEED) '''eight-session course that is designed to help early-stage entrepreneurs understand the business behind the success.

=Encouraging Faculty Innovation and Entrepreneurship=

The expertise and passion behind the faculty in course offerings taught in various departments is fundamentally what peaks the interest of students.  Early courses such as CES 102: Engineering Disciplines and Skills and MGT 201: Principles of Management touch on the importance of fundamental elements to innovation and entrepreneurship in the early undergraduate years.  Throughout the course of their undergraduate degree, students are exposed to courses that spark realization of the importance of innovation and entrepreneurship and foster deeper involvement.  Courses in the Executive Leadership and Entrepreneurship Department represent this sector in which faculty are minimally involved.  It is not until Senior Capstone Design classes such as Design Theory and Applied Design, that students begin to flourish under the mentorship of their faculty.

This relationship is also fostered by faculty involvement in programs like the nationally renowned [http://www.clemson.edu/academics/programs/creative-inquiry/ Creative Inquiry] program - where faculty sponsors play a large role in guiding the innovation techniques and actively contributing to the development of a technology. 

One recent initiative to foster cross-disciplinary and innovative curriculum has been made through the '''[http://www.clemson.edu/academics/programs/thinks2/ Clemson Thinks2] '''program. The program is built around the idea of Faculty Scholars developing Critical Thinking (CT) courses, based off the [http://www.clemson.edu/cuhonors/current-students/courses/SeminarsSpring2015.html Calhoun Honors College] seminar courses. 

Few faculty incentives are provided at Clemson University to promote innovation and entrepreneurship outside of the simple motivation for student education and learning.  Many faculty members strive for excellence in the research laboratory and cannot find time to chase their entrepreneurial dreams. Overall, the main motivation for faculty to conduct research and be innovative is to produce publications, secure grants, and gain points towards tenure.

=Actively Supporting the University Technology Transfer Function=

[[File:CURF.png|right|200x75px|CURF]]

The '''Clemson University Research Foundation (CURF)''' is a university corporation organized to provide leadership and expertise to maximize the societal impact of university research and innovation.  CURF manages the technology transfer functions of Clemson University by taking assignment of inventions, obtaining intellectual property protection, working with faculty to evaluate commercial potential of discoveries, and licensing inventions to the private sector for public use.

CURF owns and operates several facilities that support business incubation and enable Clemson research activities: the Center for Applied Technology, Griffith Incubator, and the National Brick Research Center.

CURF also has developed relationships with several technology advancement firms across the country that have the first  right of refusal for developing technologies.  One company to highlight is that of '''TAO Life Sciences''', who also has attained industry-partnership status and holds space in the CUBEInC. facility.
