STUDENT INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP
All US Air Force Academy cadets have the opportunity to take a few sporadic classes about innovation and entrepreneurship, depending on their majors. However, regardless of major, all cadets are given the opportunity to take the Technological Innovation Management class, which gives the students the knowledge to develop ideas or products into businesses. Additionally, the Management department provides their students with brief concepts in regards to innovation and entrepreneurship. Lastly, students are exposed and given the opportunity to join the Association for Innovation (A4I), a fairly new club at school that offers avenues to encourage and facilitate innovation.
FACULTY INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Proctor and Gamble grants are given out to faculty members to incentive them to lead innovative projects. Aside from this opportunity, faculty are given the ability to participate with our Air Force Cyberworx lab and its associated projects as well as with AFWERX. From the Cadet perspective, however, the majority of our faculty are not involved with these innovative opportunities. Although the Air Force encourages innovation for all Airmen, our campus should start encouraging its faculty to innovate and think disruptively more often.
