== Tactic #2: Interdisciplinary Sophomore Level I&E Course with Complimentary Senior Design Venture Projects ==

*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)
