It is imperative to fully engage undergraduate students in I&E early on in their college careers before they decide on other careers for their future (i.e., medical school, graduate school, law school, full-time job). &nbsp;Virginia State University is building &nbsp;its extracurricular clubs that focuses on conceptualizing the idea of innovation, design, and research. &nbsp;

There are few opportunities that focuses on conceptualize idea of innovation, design and research. exist to capitilize on these innovations through entrepreneurship. &nbsp;The mindset for taking one's research innovations to market where it can do its purpose and truly serve people is one that needs to vastly improve on the Clemson University campus. &nbsp;This gap exists in inspirational events held on campus, interactions with the university technology transfer office, and courses that emphasize and apply the values of I&E to undergraduates that have the immense potential to run with I&E and change their futures.
