The Robert R. McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science at Northwestern University has established the Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation to take engineering beyond the applications of the sciences to the creation of businesses that capitalize on innovations. The center will provide McCormick students and faculty with the skills to become successful entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs.
The Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation (CEI), headquartered in the Ford Motor Company Engineering Design Center, will focus on interdisciplinary curriculum development; empowerment of students, faculty and alumni to think and work innovatively; corporate and community outreach; and research.
