Business model and pitch competitions should also be open and actively advertised to interested undergraduates. These events should get undergraduates excited about opportunities for innovation, equip them with the necessary experience and skills, and also connect them with all the right resources to ''stay engaged'' in bioengineering innovation. Additionally, these events ''bridge the gap between business and science''. It is common for emerging scientists and engineers to steer away from business pursuits, and vice versa, but exposure to both fields is necessary for successful bioengineering entrepreneurship.

= Tech Transfer Office =

~~~~The Tech Transfer Office is an on-campus resource available at most universities that assists students, graduate and undergraduates, with the process of patenting new technologies and protecting their IP. Securing a patent is an integral part of the entrepreneurial process in many engineering ventures, so the tech transfer office acts as a hub of activity at the center of the campus’ innovation environment for undergraduates and graduates alike.

Through the Tech Transfer Office, undergraduates have the opportunity to access information about innovation centers, incubators, and ventures happening on campus. The Tech Transfer Office can also be used to connect with individuals, like law specialists or faculty members, that are involved heavily with the campus innovation ecosystem.

Ask around the Office for important campus contacts, resources, and programs. They’re in touch with the graduate and undergraduate innovation ecosystems, and can help bridge the two.
