*Description: There is little direction on the Clemson University Campus once students do become passionate about I&E. To address this gap, it is necessary to offer programs and outlets for students to learn from those who have been in their shoes, current successful CEOs of small business start-ups, from professors whose passion is in teaching design and innovation to young captivating minds. This summer course will not be for credit. This summer course will not be for a certificate. This summer course will be for the experience. Two passionate individuals will lead their own version (a Clemson version) of a Lean Start-Up summer workshop- getting students passionate about I&E while teaching them a thing or two along the way about how to create their own start-up.
*Team Leaders: John DesJardins, PhD, Assistant Professor, BioE Senior Design Capstone Instructor, and David Orr, PhD, CEO of Kiyatec (a start-up founded on his Clemson University research), and Peter Gianidos (graduate professor in MBA in Entrepreneurship Program and undergraduate professor in College of Business and Behavioral Science)
*Milestones:
**Attend Lean Start-Up Workshops- Fall 2013 through Summer 2014
