The purpose of this award is to provide funds for College of Engineering faculty to introduce new curriculum that is designed to implement innovative and entrepreneurial methods in the classroom. Although only engineering faculty will have access to these funds, effective strategies that are created by the faculty will be shared with other colleges in the university.
