It is an member of the Maker School Alliance.
Promoting Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship
Case Western Reserve Univeristy promotes innovation and entreprenuership to students in a number of ways:
CWRU offers a degree in Entrepernuership through the Weatehrhead School of Buisness as well as minors in Entrepernuership and Innovation.
CWRU now has the newly built Think[Box] Innovation Center; where students of all degrees and experience leves are encouraged to come and create something. However, the building is on the edge of campus and only a small percentage of students have yet to take advantage of the facility.
Students are also exposed I&E through several events and competitions that are hosted on campus. The most notable include CWRU Engineering Week,
Encouraging Faculty Innovation and Etreprenurship
Being first a graduate school and research university, CWRU very much encourages their faculty and graduate students to conduct research. Last year alone, more than 1,600 research projects were funded through CWRU and the school currently ranks amongst the top 20 research institutions. The majority of professors lead research laboratories and have many students working for them, graduate but also undergraduate. And research at CWRU covers all possible spectrums, from humanities, to social sciences, to all areas of STEM.
However, though many of the research labs develop innovative ideas and solutions, many of which are patented, most labs do not seek to to further their project and pursue entrepernurual opportunities. A big reason for this is that many labs partner with companies to sponsor reseach, and the solotions developed are the rights of said companies. Yet there are also labs and faculty who have no interest in pursuing the idea to turn it into a start up; who would prefer to keep developing new ideas and publishing papers. Additionally, entrepernuership programs specifically or faculty are difficult to find.
