Resumen de An integrated education and technology commercialization program: the idea to product® competition and related courses
Universities have three missions: education, research and public service. The Idea to Product1 program supports the service and research missions of a university. Faculty at UT Austin developed I2P1 as an educational program; previous publications have stressed the pedagogical approach and educational value of the program. This paper examines how the program, which includes both courses and competitions, fosters technology commercialization, thereby supporting the research and service missions of a university. By examining student projects, the I2P1 program's support of university missions and technology commercialization can be illustrated. Ultimately, the I2P1 Program helps to foster an entrepreneurial culture within a university.
