创建更多创业型大学的运动的一个关键特征是激励研究人员将发现转移到实验室之外，进入社会。这给科学和工程学科的博士生和教职员工带来了额外的期望，他们被鼓励探索将自己的研究商业化，以促进大学在创新和创造就业方面的作用。这一运动的一个主要障碍是，传统的博士培训没有为研究人员参与创业活动做好准备，因此它与科学工作的相关性可能并不明显。在本文中，我们提出了一种科技创业教育的课程模式，旨在使学术研究人员在其发现的商业化过程中发挥更积极和更知情的作用。它的课程基础是一套14个因素，涉及以下四个优先事项：(1)技术准备和时机，(2)知识产权途径决定，(3)与创业生态系统的接触，以及(4)个人职业选择。我们描述了课程的基本原理、内容和结果。
A key feature of the movement to create more entrepreneurial universities is incentivizing researchers to move discoveries beyond the laboratory and into society. This places additional expectations on Ph.D. students and faculty in science and engineering disciplines, who are encouraged to explore the commercialization of their research to promote the role of universities in innovation and job creation. A major barrier to this movement is that traditional Ph.D. training does not prepare researchers to participate in entrepreneurial activity, and as such its relevance to scientific work may not be evident. In this paper, we propose a course model for science and technology entrepreneurship education that has been designed to enable academic researchers to play a more active and informed role in the commercialization of their discovery. Its curricular foundation is a set of 14 factors that address the following four priorities: (1) technology readiness and timing, (2) intellectual property pathway decisions, (3) engagement with the entrepreneurial ecosystem, and (4) personal career choices. We describe the rationale for the course, its content and outcomes.
