Following are an array of strategies that will fully address Gap #1 over a 2-3 year period:
== Tactic #1: The Design and Entrepreneurship Class taught by students ==
*Description:
*Team Leader(s): AutumnTurpin and Capella Kerst
**
== Tactic #2: Interdisciplinary Sophomore Level I&E Course with Complimentary Senior Design Venture Projects (Autumn your class) ==
*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. In addition, plans to partner aspiring business students with senior design engineering and science students will help stimulate venture growth of life science technologies.
*Team Leader: John DesJardins, PhD (current advisor and mentor to University Innovation Fellow, Breanne Przestrzelski), Peter Gianidos (graduate professor of MBA in Entrepreneurship and undergraduate professor in College of Business and Behavioral Science)
*Milestones:
**Curriculum Assessment- completed with undergraduate student services coordinators- January 2014
**Full Acceptance into Undergraduate Curriculum-Fall 2014
== Tactic #3: Summer LemonADE Stand: Acceleration in Design and Entrepreneurship Co-Ed entrepreneurship fraterunity ==
*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.*Team Leaders: John DesJardins, PhD, Assistant Professor, BioE Senior Design Capstone Instructor, David Orr, PhD, CEO of Kiyatec (a start-up founded on his Clemson University research), and Peter Gianidos (graduate professor in MBA in Entrepreneurship Program and undergraduate professor in College of Business and Behavioral Science)
*Milestones:
**Attend Lean Start-Up Workshops- Fall 2013 through Summer 2014**Create a Portfolio of Topics- Fall 2013 through Summer 2014**Formulate a Summer CurriculumFind founding class- Fall 2013 through Summer 2014
**Pitch the Idea/Concept- Fall 2014
**Find a Space/Infrastructure- Fall 2014 through Spring 2015
**Marketing Resources- Spring 2015
**Generate Awareness- Spring 2015
**Prepare for First Summer Sessionalpha class- Spring 2015**Host First Summer Session- Summer Winter 2015

== Tactic #1: Tiger Business Alliance through InnoVenture Network ==
*Description: Alumni presence to a university is crucial for many reasons, with funding being that which commons to mind most often. However, keeping a successful alumni network close to the students for mentorship opportunities is one that should first come to mind. The Tiger Business Alliance will keep successful graduate entrepreneurs connected to the university. This program will allow for mentorship within the community from those who have the answers, understand where the young entrepreneurs are starting out, and will be there for them along their own journey towards I&E. It is crucial to execute this program with the right mindset. It is not a goal to raise x dollars for Clemson University. It is to foster a relationship between successful graduate entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs- all who have been and will forever be TIGERS.*Team Leaders: John Warner (CEO of InnoVenture), David Orr, PhD, and Matthew Gaevert, PhD (co-founders of Kiyatec)
*Milestones:
**Reach out to current alumni- Fall 2013 through Spring 2014
== 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.
