Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship
Tennessee Tech is filled with students who are interested in making the world a better place. On campus there are many resources implementing entrepreneurship as the means to solve these problems.
It beings with having a place for like-minded students to meet and talk. With two dormitories that are only for Business and Engineering majors an innovative environment naturally emerges. This innovative spirit is then strengthened by the curriculum that involves classes with real world examples. Classes that show students how to not only work with theoretical models of their designs, but also the economic and marketing side of their work. These are upper level classes such as CHE 4410 Process Design and 4930 Business Strategy
Interest is further driven by events like Tedx Nashville and E-Week. Tedx Nashville is a yearly event that recently has been supported by the dean’s office, encouraging students to attend the event by paying for their tickets. E-week is a common event across many universities where the various engineering majors are brought together and pitted against each other in competitions.
Even if you are not a Business or Engineering major there is still plenty to take part of such as the recent Research, Innovation and Entrepreneurship Forum where speakers from the NSF will give talks to faculty and students regarding I&E.
