=Overview<br/> = Over 20 years of development, University of Iowa has nurtured a relatively mature ecosystem of Innovation and entrepreneurship. With over 100 research centers and 15 entrepreneurial organizations, University of Iowa students and faculty have pioneered in entrepreneurship nationwide. John Pappajohn Entrepreneurial Center (JPEC) has played a center role in this movement since its establishment in 1997. &nbsp;

According to the 2012-2013 Impact ReportOver 20 years of development, JPEC University of Iowa has provided 99 academic classes nurtured a relatively mature ecosystem of innovation and entrepreneurship. With over the year 2012-2013100 research centers and 15 entrepreneurial organizations, 44 Distance Education courses. 3563 undergraduate students University of U Iowa students and faculty have been enrolled pioneered in the academic programs, as well as 175 graduate studentsentrepreneurship nationwide. 323 certificates of entrepreneurship and and BBA with John Pappajohn Entrepreneurial Management Track were awarded Center (JPEC) has played a central role in this year, totaling the number to 2443 of JPEC Alumni movement since its establishment in 1997.

Collaborations between JPEC and other departments especially STEM majors still show great promises for both students and faculty. In 2012-2013, more than eight eighty percent events were held in the vicinity of JPEC offices, whereas most STEM and medical school /public health students were scattered across campus. A majority of participants in all programs were from College of Business. It is JPEC’s responsibility to provide more resources and guidance to all majors with regard to entrepreneurship, as well as disseminate the education of entrepreneurship further to other departments. In addition, most programs of the JPEC still focus on the commercialization of a developed idea, while it can be expected to have more events that target STEM majors, such as technology development competition, allowing STEM students to engage with hands-on experience of developing a certain type of technology. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span>

Strategy 1 {{#Widget: Potential stage Youtube|id=- Expand student organization: I-EnvisionaD5Arcpk9w}}

Tactic = Strategy #1: Add new board members from other departments.Improve Communication Channel to Engineering<br/> =

Description: Currently, I-Envision is the largest student organization The College of business has an impressible collection of entrepreneurship in JPECresources and opportunities promoting Innovation and Entreprenurialship. However, I-Envision &nbsp; Sadly these resources are mostly run by students from College of Businessunderutilized.&nbsp; Poor awareness is in part responsible. &nbsp; A cross functional team will robust communication plan must be able to promote entrepreneurship to further to other departments. Also, representatives from developed so that undergraduate engineering students are infomred of these resources multiple departments will facilitate the organization of events across campustimes during their educational career.&nbsp; (Project Lead - Aaron Goddard)

Team leader= Strategy #2: Steven Hensley Establish Long-Term Communication Path between Engineering and Chen CuiJPEC<br/> =

Milestones: One board member from each Once Ana and Aaron have moved on, there needs to be a plan to maintain consistent communication between the members of STEM majors, medicine, JPEC and liberal arts, who is in charge the college of arranging all entrepreneurial events at his/her departmentengineering.&nbsp; Feb., 2014(Project Lead - Ana Hertz)

Tactic 2= Strategy #3: Organize speaker eventsModify Senior Design to place more emphasis on I&E<br/workshops at each department.> =

Description: A viable way of increasing non business majors’ engagement Senior Design is already a great learning opportunity for engineering students.&nbsp; We feel that this course could implement some minor changes to bring the event to specific departments. Meanwhileplace more emphasis on Innovation, Entreprenurialship, it is effective to invite alumni or previous student entrepreneurs from those departmentsand project management. &nbsp;(Project Lead - Aaron Goddard)

Milestones= Strategy #4: Hold at least one event at each of STEM, medicine and liberal art buildings. Recruit 5-10 new members to I-Envision each semester.Integrate Entrepreneurial Courses into Curriculum<br/> =

Currently the BME Department requires undergraduates in engineeing to complete 19 credits of General Education.&nbsp;None of the Entreprenurial courses offered by the business school are listed as allowed electives.&nbsp; Giving students the opportunity to take these courese without delaying graduation to do so will greatly increase engineering participation.&nbsp; (Project Lead - Ana Hertz)

Strategy *Meet with Department Chair to discuss current Elective Options (2: Applied stage – restructure current -28-15)*Review ABET, University, or any other accretidation requirements (3-31-15)*Propose specific coursesto be added to list of accepted BME general electives (4-15-15)**May include ENTR 2000,3100,3200,4400*Target Implementation Fall 2015

Tactic 1= Strategy #5: add entrepreneurial session Implementation to courses such senior project design and software development.the other Engineering Colleges<br/> =

Description: It is very important If Strategies 1, 3, or 4 prove to equip students who are currently involved be successfull in innovative projects with basic entrepreneurial knowledge. Many project results are left cold once the course is overBiomedical Engineering Department, while many of them are a good start for entrepreneurship.
