Physics Innovation & Entrepreneurship - Creating a Framework for Enhancing Undergrad Physics

Explore the potential of Physics Innovation and Entrepreneurship (PIE) education in nurturing undergraduate physics programs through this informative webinar. Discover how PIE can enhance the entrepreneurial and innovative mindset of physics students as Bahram Roughani, Associate Dean of Natural and Applied Sciences at Loyola University Maryland, shares insights from the NSF-supported Pathways to Innovation program. Delve into concepts of agile change management in higher education and new ideas about physics learning empowered by experiential experiences. Learn about the collaborative NSF-supported PIPELINE project and its impact on PIE implementation. Gain valuable knowledge on topics such as paradigm shifts in physics education, funding sources, industry applications, and the framework for change in physics programs. Explore the technical innovation entrepreneurship model, user innovation, and the skills employers seek in physics graduates. Understand how pop-up classes and collaboration can enhance the PIE educational experience and prepare students for future careers in various industries.
