== <h2> Faculty innovation and entrepreneurship ==</h2><p>The expertise and passion behind the faculty in course offerings taught in various departments is fundamentally what peaks the interest of students. &nbsp#160;Early courses such as CES 102: Engineering Disciplines and Skills and MGT 201: Principles of Management touch on the importance of fundamental elements to innovation and entrepreneurship in the early undergraduate years. &nbsp#160;Thorughout the course of their undergraduate degree, students are exposed to courses that spark realization of the importance of innovation and entrepreneurship and foster deeper involvement. &nbsp#160;Courses in the Executive Leadership and Entrepreneurship Department represnt this sector in which faculty are minimally involved. &nbsp#160;It is not until Senior Capstone Design classes such as Design Theory and Applied Design, that students begin to flourish under the mentorship of their faculty. </p><p>This relationship is also fostered by faculty involvement in programs like '''<b>Creative Inquiries'''</b>- where faculty sponsors play a large role in guiding the innovation techniques and actively contributing to the development of a technology. </p><p>Few faculty incentives are provided at Clemson University to promote innovation and entrepreneurship outside of the simple motivation for student education and learning. &nbsp#160;Many faculty members strive for excellence in the research laboratory and cannot find time to chase their entrepreneurial dreams.</p>
