The Academy for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (AIE) seeks proposals for new or revised experiential “Fearless Ideas” courses related to innovation and/or entrepreneurship that will provide students with the skills and mindset to develop and/or launch their fearless ideas. Fearless Ideas courses should ideally include collaborative, multi-disciplinary project teams and discovery-based learning techniques and should focus on the development of innovation and/or entrepreneurship skills that help create economic, social, or cultural value. Candidate “Fearless Ideas” courses may be new courses or existing courses that have been adapted for this Request for Pre-Proposals (RFP) and should target launch during one of the following semesters: Fall 2016 or Spring 2017.

AIE will form a Fearless Ideas course approval committee that will include representatives from throughout campus. This committee will select and fund a diverse portfolio of courses that include:
• A wide range of academic disciplines
• A mix of lower level (100/200) and upper level (300/400) courses (graduate level courses will
also be considered)
• A mix of courses including those that satisfy requirements for specific majors, minors, and
general education requirements
