University of Maryland Academy for Innovation and Entrepreneurship<\/a>(AIE) was launched by UMD President Wallace Loh in 2013 and charged with engaging all 40,000+ of our students in innovation & entrepreneurship (I&E) experiences to prepare them to tackle the world’s toughest problems. UMD is 54% of the way towards that goal as a result of extensive campus-wide collaboration across every school and college.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
How are we accomplishing this? By adopting and adapting the same innovation methods successful startups use – design thinking and lean startup. We often ask our students: \u201cWhat problem are you trying to solve and for whom?\u201d When we asked ourselves this question, we talked to students from all over campus and discovered that they\u2019re often forced to choose between either graduating on time or pursuing real-world projects and ventures they\u2019re passionate about. We\u2019re solving that problem by allowing students to do both through I&E experiences embedded directly in the core curriculum so that exploring their passions actually moves them closer to graduation rather than farther away.<\/p>\n
