== Tactic #2'''About DifferenceMaker™: Interdisciplinary Sophomore Level I'''&E Course with Complimentary Senior Design Venture Projects ==nbsp;
*Description: The current I&E curriculums across campus address only juniors DifferenceMaker™ Program sponsors specific events and seniors in the Executive Leadership and Entrepreneurship department, Engineering Senior Capstone Design Classes, or even only graduate activities that support 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 solving big problems through innovation and entrepreneurship before it . The Program is too late. Many highly experiential by offering 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 a series of workshops that are not within I&E. This course will be offered to all colleges they can engage in hopes to bring together youngbetter understand innovation, innovative minds to shape the I&E landscape at the entrepreneurship and launching a start. In addition, plans to partner aspiring business students with senior design engineering and science students will help stimulate venture growth -up of life science technologiestheir interest.*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**Small Interest Meetings with faculty and students of affected departments- March 2014**Preparation of Audience- completed with help from Martine LaBerge (current Bioengineering Department Head)- May 2014**Presentation to Undergraduate Advisory Council, Board of Trustees, and University President- June 2014**Curriculum Preparation- Fall 2014**Faculty Search- Spring and Summer 2014**Full Acceptance into Undergraduate Curriculum-Fall 2014
== Tactic #3: Summer LemonADE Stand: Acceleration in Design and Entrepreneurship ==*
*Description: There is little direction on the Clemson University Campus once students do become passionate about I&E. To address Students of all majors and disciplines are welcome to join this gap, it is necessary to offer programs Program and outlets for students to learn from those who have been in their shoesmake a difference at UMass Lowell, 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 community or two along in the way about how to create their own start-upworld through innovative and entrepreneurial action.*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), These DifferenceMaker™ projects include interdisciplinary student teams from all majors and Peter Gianidos (graduate professor in MBA in Entrepreneurship Program and undergraduate professor in College of Business and Behavioral Science)*Milestones:skill sets. **Attend Lean Start-Up Workshops- Fall 2013 through Summer 2014**Create a Portfolio '''Goals of Topics- Fall 2013 through Summer 2014DifferenceMaker™:''' **Formulate a Summer Curriculum- Fall 2013 through Summer 2014**Pitch the Idea/Concept- Fall 2014· Introduce all UMass students to creative problem solving, innovation and entrepreneurship**Find a Space/Infrastructure- Fall 2014 through Spring 2015**Funding- Fall 2014 through Spring 2015· Accelerate purpose in each students education**Purchase Supplies- Fall 2014 through Spring 2015**Marketing Resources- Spring 2015· Connect current students to alumni experience**Generate Awareness- Spring 2015**Prepare for First Summer Session- Spring 2015**Host First Summer Session- Summer 2015· Encourage a social responsibility ethos

Following are an array of strategies that will fully address Gap #1 over a 2-3 year period:already on campus but needs further promoting to improve our entrepreneurial mindset culture
== Tactic #1: The Design and Entrepreneurship Network (The DEN) DifferenceMaker Program ==
*Description: The opportunity to take a Creative Inquiry is built into the current curriculum for undergraduates. However, within Bioengineering, these "electives" are limited to research focused classes such as Orthopaedics, Cardiovascular, BioSensors, etc. These courses are limited to those who wish to strive to take what they develop in their research laboratories or in their dorm rooms to market where it can serve the purpose it was created for. Therefore, we will be implementing a Creative Inquiry known as The DEN that span topics within I&E as a separate sector from which undergraduates can currently select. Examples of such include: Opportunity Assessment and Project Management, Start-Up Business Models, Start-Up Finance and Investment, and Product Development and Management. In addition to a Creative Inquiry weekly meeting, teams of undergraduates will enter The DEN with technologies they are passionate about developing into ventures and will apply the I&E topics to those technologies. Established entrepreneurs, technology transfer officers, and venture capitalists will guest lecture to these students to spark interest and highlight the opportunity of a career in this space.*Team Leader(s): Breanne Przestrzelski, Sarah Helms (current BioE Master's candidate), Colin Burns-Heffner (current BioE Master's candidate), Natalie Patzin (current Bioengineering Advisory Board President), and Martine LaBerge (current Bioengineering Department Head)*Milestones:**Curriculum Assessment- completed with undergraduate student services coordinator (Tammy Rothell)- November 2013**Preparation of Audience- completed with help from Martine LaBerge (current Bioengineering Department Head)- December 2013**Curriculum Preparation- January 2014**Full Acceptance into Undergraduate Program-Spring 2014
