Entrepreneurship & Engineering Innovation

entrepreneur searches for a business model, rather thanexecute a business plan.Prior to the lean LaunchPad, the business plan was the key to creating a startup. Entrepreneurswould use “the decades-old formula, you write a business plan, pitch it to investors, assemble ateam, introduce a product, and start selling as hard as you can.”3 While this approach was widelyadopted, it was inefficient, with 75% of startups failing according to Harvard Business Schoolprofessor, Shikhar Ghosh. The majority of professors and textbooks preached this approach.The Lean LaunchPad has had quite a bit of success. It is the primary method used at upperechelon university’s like Stanford University, Columbia University, University of California –Berkley, as well as quickly

The availability of tools and computersacross campus lowers the barriers to participation but materials costs can still be significant.

The SI program employs apeer-to-peer learning model, in which a student who has previously been successful in a coursereceives pedagogical training from the LRC and serves as an SI Leader, offering regular reviewseminars to students currently enrolled in the course. The CoE and DPO provided additionalresources to the LRC to increase the number of difficult lower-level engineering courses coveredby SI Leaders. In the future, we plan to require Scholars to participate in one of several weeklystudy groups during their first semester on campus (in subsequent semesters, participation in thestudy groups will be optional).
