== Tactic #1: The Design and Entrepreneurship Network (The DEN) ==
*Description: The opportunity to take a Creative Inquiry is built into the current curriculum for undergraduates. However, within Bioengineering, these "electives" are limited to research focused classes such as OrthopaedicsOrthopedics, Cardiovascular, BioSensors, etc. These courses are limited to those who wish to strive to take what they develop in their research laboratories or in their dorm rooms to market where it can serve the purpose it was created for. Therefore, we will be implementing a Creative Inquiry known as The DEN that span topics within I&E as a separate sector from which undergraduates can currently select. Examples of such include: Opportunity Assessment and Project Management, Start-Up Business Models, Start-Up Finance and Investment, and Product Development and Management. In addition to a Creative Inquiry weekly meeting, teams of undergraduates will enter The DEN with technologies they are passionate about developing into ventures and will apply the I&E topics to those technologies. Established entrepreneurs, technology transfer officers, and venture capitalists will guest lecture to these students to spark interest and highlight the opportunity of a career in this space.
*Team Leader(s): Breanne Przestrzelski, Sarah Helms (current BioE Master's candidate), Colin Burns-Heffner (current BioE Master's candidate), Natalie Patzin (current Bioengineering Advisory Board President), and Martine LaBerge (current Bioengineering Department Head)

== Tactic #4: InnoGrid - Mapping Clemson's Resources for Students ==

<span id="docs-internal-guid-ec720e41-e430-4630-9dea-1dc9b5617112"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Description: One of the issues we identified as preventing students from unlocking their full potential is a lack of knowledge regarding the resources available to them. Whether these take the form of materials, safety training, makerspaces or information there is virtually no way for students to know the full breadth of all Clemson has to offer. What is needed to bridge this gap is a map of everything available to a student who wishes to create, design or learn - an Innovation Grid. This grid would initially contain the locations of all makerspaces on campus and their hours, point of contact, rules, raw materials and machines available to students.</span></span>
