I-Corps L: Product Realization 2.0 - Multidisciplinary Technology Entrepreneurship Capstone Course

威斯康星大学密尔沃基分校（UWM）的这个项目旨在开发一种可持续和可扩展的模式，将工程顶点/高级设计课程转化为体验式多学科技术创业顶点课程，产品实现2.0，与课外或课外学生创业计划（校园范围）紧密结合，并由区域行业合作伙伴提供动力。产品实现课程最初旨在为学生提供真实的世界，基于项目的经验，同时为行业赞助商提供工程人才和创新解决方案。该项目将探讨利益相关者（包括学生和赞助商）是否会在一个培训学生并使行业赞助商接触更广泛的创业思维技能的结构中找到价值。该项目正朝着一个课程方向发展，该课程将包括以下关键课程内容：（a）客户发现和精益启动，（B）设计思维，（c）产品设计，重点是低分辨率原型和多次迭代。培训班还必须有另一个方面：培训导师的专业发展。我们将探讨不同层次的导师参与和培训，从简单的项目管理过程，以纳入导师到教学团队。产品实现课程可以大大有助于工程和多学科教育的创新，将促进新的课程和教学法，并将提供一个平台，让学生和赞助商以不同的方式参与。该产品对区域产业具有潜在的吸引力，可以与UWM的创新和创业体验课程相结合。通过各种创新网络，如五所大学的I-Corps Site区域网络、国家创新网络、创新之路网络和大学创新研究员网络，拟议的模式可在全国推广。

This project at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) aims to develop a sustainable and scalable model for transforming engineering capstone/senior design courses into an experiential multidisciplinary technology entrepreneurship capstone course, Product Realization 2.0 that is strongly coupled with co-curricular or extra-curricular student entrepreneurial programs (campus wide) and powered by regional industry partners. The Product Realization course was initially designed to give students real world, project-based experience while offering industry sponsors access to engineering talent and innovative solutions. This project will explore whether or not stakeholders (including students and sponsors) will find value in a structure that trains students and exposes industry sponsors to a broader set of entrepreneurial thinking skills. The project is moving towards a course that will have the following key curricular elements: (a) customer discovery and lean launch, (b) design thinking, and (c) product design with an emphasis on low-resolution prototyping and multiple iterations. The course would have to have another dimension: professional development for sponsor-mentors. We will explore various levels of mentor engagement and training, ranging from straightforward project management processes to incorporating mentors into a teaching team. The Product Realization course can contribute significantly to innovation in engineering and multidisciplinary education, will promote new curricula and pedagogy, and will provide a platform for engaging students and sponsors in a different way. The product has potential appeal to regional industry and can connect with an innovation and entrepreneurship experiential curriculum at UWM. Through various innovation networks, such as the I-Corps Site regional network of five universities, the National Innovation Network, Pathways to Innovation Network and University Innovation Fellows Network, the proposed model can be scaled up nationally.
