**Full Acceptance into Undergraduate Curriculum-Fall 2014
<br/>'''Tactic #2: Interdisciplinary Sophomore Level I&E Course'''
*Description: The current I&E curriculums across campus address only juniors and seniors in the Executive Leadership and Entrepreneurship department, Engineering Senior Capstone Design Classes, or even only graduate students in the MBA in Innovation and Entrepreneurship (MBAe) program. What is needed is a course that brings together sophomore level students from all disciplines to introduce the concepts on innovation and entrepreneurship before it is too late. Many students do not encounter design or innovation until their senior design capstone engineering classes, at which point, the students have already committed to medical schools, law schools, graduate schools, or other careers that are not within I&E. This course will be offered to all colleges in hopes to bring together young, innovative minds to shape the I&E landscape at the start.

<br/>'''Tactic #3: Summer LemonADE Stand: Acceleration in Design and Entrepreneurship'''
*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.
**Connect students with alumni- Fall 2015
<br/>'''Tactic #2: BioInnovation'''
*Description: Already in place at Tulane University is a mentorship program for entrepreneurial minded scientists looking to take their research interests beyond the labspace or machine shop. This program is designed to capture the attention of undergraduates who possess that drive for I&E but are unsure how to attack it. To lead and mentor these students, PhD entrepreneurs (both aspiring and achieved) work with undergraduates to foster new innovators and entrepreneurs.

<br/>'''Tactic #3: Transformation of the Clemson University office of technology transfer'''
*Description: The purpose of a technology transfer office is to facilitate innovation from laboratory to commercialization. This is fostered by various techniques, a benchmark of which is still to be established. One tactic to raise the bar for technoogy transfer offices across the country is to establish a mentorship relationship between current I&E students and their university technology transfer office. This could be facilitated through work-shops, seminars, How-To sessions. All of these outlets generate learning experiences and shine a positive light on the technology transfer office, an entity who, if they facilitate technology development throughout all stages, will clearly be seen as facilitating innovation from laboratoty to commercialization.
