<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 19px;">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; The focus of your campus bioengineering innovation ecosystem should be&nbsp;</span>''undergraduate involvement.&nbsp;''<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 19px;">Simply put, inspire and connect the undergraduates with what they need, and innovation will happen as a part of the school culture. What is it that undergraduates need to pursue bioengineering innovation? They need: opportunities and spaces for design thinking, knowledge of how to transform an idea into a project, mentorship and support through the innovation process, funding and legal resources, and&nbsp;</span>''inspiration.''<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 19px;">&nbsp;They need to know that students can change the world</span>

<span style="font-size: 14.5pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial;">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The greatest way to generate undergraduate interest in a topic such as bioengineering innovation is to invite them to simply&nbsp;''learn more about it.''&nbsp;Seminar series (TEDx events, entrepreneurship conferences, etc.) should always be open to both graduate and undergraduate students. Anyone involved in campus innovation should be invited to speak, especially someone from the&nbsp;''Tech Transfer office''. Senior Design projects should also be available and encouraged as hands-on experience in the field of bioengineering. Patent information should be readily available so that students can pursue projects without concern for their legal rights. Undergraduates, especially science and engineering students, need to know that innovative or entrepreneurial work will be a&nbsp;''practical possibility''&nbsp;and that they will have access to&nbsp;''resources and support''. Once students know enough to get started, they are more than capable of taking projects into their own hands.</span>
