Objetivo: Criar uma nova geração de empreendedores de alto impacto é um dos papéis relevantes de universidades em todo o mundo. Para tal, é necessário não apenas oferecer um conjunto de cursos de empreendedorismo, mas articulá-los com uma estratégia de empreendedorismo e inovação.
Método: O método da pesquisa foi o estudo de caso, com o objetivo de apresentar como a Illinois Tech, que declara a educação em empreendedorismo como um valor central em sua missão, desenvolveu e implementou estratégia, estrutura e processos para criar uma forte cultura empreendedora, oferecendo oportunidades para projetos de estudantes em todos os cursos e o tempo todo, através de múltiplos níveis de coordenação.
Originalidade/Relevância: A estrutura fornecida inclui laboratórios de inovação, Parque Tecnológico, Centro de Empreendedorismo, Academia de Empreendedorismo, dentre outros comitês e membros da comunidade externa para conectar projetos da Universidade ao ecossistema de empreendedorismo regional.
Resultados: O processo baseia-se na construção de uma trajetória que o aluno deve percorrer, de cursos acadêmicos a oportunidades extracurriculares para desenvolver e aplicar seus conhecimentos por meio de competições, eventos do setor e organizações estudantis.
Contribuições teóricas/metodológicas: Para os estudantes que querem desenvolver e lançar suas startups, há uma variedade de recursos do campus, de instalações a mentores e acesso a recursos externos. A Illinois Tech também está empenhada em identificar as necessidades de negócios na comunidade e aproximar os alunos com contatos da indústria para atender a essas necessidades, particularmente por meio de parcerias com o programa I-PRO, apoio do corpo docente, centros de carreira e centros de pesquisa.
