About the course

Innovation that results from engineering research leads to new business ideas that are the basis for

　　new companies. These new small high-technology startups drive economic growth. These activities

　　also help the rest of the economy due to the trickle-down effectsfrom the top-of-the-pyramid wealth

　　and high paying jobs to all levels of the economic strata providing regions and countries with

　　economic development results that cannot be reaped without it. To build this enterprise, you need

　　not only technology but models of deployment of technology, management talent, financial

　　resources, policies and educational programs that supply the right talent to create the human

　　infrastructure to manage all aspects of this enterprise.

　　The National Science Foundation (NSF), the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and many government

　　entities, both foreign and domestic have made this a priority and have allocated large funds to

　　support programs such as the NSF Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT)

　　and Innovation Corps Program (I-Corps), the NIH?s High-Risk Research and Innovation initiative as

　　well as Brazil?s well publicized ?PhD students to foreign universities? program designed for the new

　　crop of researchers to learn how to move technology into economic benefits. Spanish universities

　　that we recently visited impressed upon usthe importance of the topic to Spain?sstruggling economy.

　　Industries, both small and large, have developed techniques and processes such as lean startup

　　launch pad (I-Corp equivalent) with leading companies emphasizing innovation and entrepreneurship

　　in their strategy. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
