Promoting Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship
Innovation and Entrepreneurship is a key part of Parks College of Engineering. The KEEN Foundation has helped introduce the entrepreneurial mindset by encouraging the Weekly Innovation Challenges and by sponsoring the iScholars( Innovation Scholars) Program. The iScholars program, where students learn by leading, is funded by the Kern Family Foundation – Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN). The program promotes the entrepreneurial mindset learning across campus while engaging students in different roles and activities, such as: community outreach, innovation leadership, creative thinking and entrepreneurial projects.
Encouraging Faculty Innovation and Entrepreneurship
The faculty here at Saint Louis University does an excellent job of encouraging innovation and entrepreneurship within the classroom and around campus. Saint Louis University’s engineering school is part of the KEEN network. The KEEN network focuses on encouraging entrepreneurship throughout the engineering curriculum. KEEN also sponsors a group called iScholars that focuses on product design and marketing throughout each school year. The head of mechanical and aerospace engineering is a big advocate of this program and incorporates many of the KEEN ideals into the programs. We have many other professors that have this same outlook on incorporating these values into class.
Actively Supporting the University Technology Transfer Function
Technology Transfer promotes and supports the research enterprise at the University by creating relationships with the private sector to develop, protect, transfer and commercialize research results for the public benefit.
Our university goals are to:
•Facilitate the transfer of University-developed research results to industry for commercialization through licensing or start-up company development
•Secure patent protection for the creative efforts of the University community
•Educate the university community on the latest topics and trends in intellectual property sector
Through our research we discovered our incubator space and startup venture space were T-Rex, CIC and Fredsparks. Our seed funding resource is Billiken angels network and our venture assistance is Rose.
Facilitating University-Industry Collaboration
Internship and co-op opportunities for students, to helping the industry with continuing education, to research collaboration, the college focuses on building industry relations. The college not only wants to work with connections in the surrounding St. Louis area, but also wants to work with industry worldwide to strengthen its programs. Collaborations and relationships with companies around the world to enhance their industry network. Faculty work on grants with industry organizations, alumni connect with the college and continuing education is growing, with recent courses in civil engineering offered.
Through our research we discovered the technology part and wet lab space which were CIC, Space Systems Lab and Tinkerlab. Our source for capital was Billiken Angels Network, Arch Grants Stadia Ventures. To help us in our mentor and advising we have Ken Harrold, Ken Harris and Dr. Doug Schwaab.
Engaging with Regional and Local Economic Development Efforts
Saint Louis University has many connections with surrounding incubators, accelerators, and centers that help startups. Here at Saint Louis, we have connections with an incubator called the CIC and they allow many of our student groups to come to their building and work there. We also have mentors from a design company called FredSparks. FredSparks has sent many of their employees to come and mentor design teams here at the engineering school. Besides these two companies that are involved with the school, we have many mentors that come help that come from all different backgrounds. In particular, Boeing does a great job of sending representatives to help students at Parks College of Engineering. All of these connections greatly benefit both the students and local companies in an economic sense.
