Scaling I-Corps Training curriculum: Developing Scientific and Engineering Discoveries into Useful Technologies, Products and Processes

国家大学发明家和创新者联盟（NCIIA）提议扩大I-Corps项目的规模，在美国各地不同地理位置的校园支持该项目。NCIIA将与I-Corps教学团队的原始成员合作，实施另外两个讲习班。评估过程的反馈将为教员培训计划和I-Corps课程的改进提供信息。NCIIA课程和项目资助支持开发和实施体验式教育项目，教工程和科学专业的学生在他们的课程中应用创新和创业思维。I-Corps项目的目标是确定从nsf资助的研究中获得的技术的商业可行性。学员将带着扩展的技能离开这个项目，这将给他们提供必要的工具来评估和将他们的研究转化为可以造福社会的应用。该计划将支持一个初步的教师网络，他们可以在向新的机构和地区传播时改进和调整该计划模式。

The National Collegiate Inventors & Innovators Alliance (NCIIA) proposes to scale the I-Corps program by supporting the program at campuses in geographically-diverse locations across the U.S. NCIIA will work with original members of the I-Corps teaching team to implement two additional workshops. Feedback from the evaluation process will inform improvements in both the instructor-training program and the I-Corps curriculum. NCIIA Course and Program grants support the development and implementation of experiential education programs that teach engineering and science students to apply innovative and entrepreneurial thinking to their coursework. The goal of the I-Corps program is to determine the commercial feasibility of technology derived from NSF-funded research. Participants will leave the program with an expanded skill-set that will give them the tools necessary to evaluate and translate their research into applications that can benefit society. This program will support an initial a network of instructors who can improve and adapt the program model as it is disseminated to new institutions and regions.
