"About half of U.S. PhDs in Anthropology are practicing their skills outside of traditional academic routes. In the past, "business anthropologists" focused on areas like cross-cultural marketing. Currently, "design anthropologists" focus on product development and usability and are much more in line with entrepreneurs."

“My course gives students a real world opportunity to apply the knowledge they gained in classes. Today entrepreneurship is a major segment of any food business and as it continues to grow yearly, motivated by new and potential business opportunities throughout the San Joaquin Valley and an ever changing food market, expansion by both established and new companies; by towns and cities seeking new markets for their growing food and agricultural production is essential.”

Core Focus


Coleman Faculty Scholars, 2008-09

Professor Thomas Hill

Visiting Professor, Chicago-Kent College of Law

“Innovation and entrepreneurship are central to IIT’s mission, and I look forward to contributing to and collaborating in that effort. The topics I teach (complex purchase transactions, capitalization and financing transactions, M&A, etc.) can be encountered in any entrepreneurial setting.”

Dr. David Gidalevitz

Assistant Professor, Physics

“The majority of innovations in nanodevice therapy, nanosurgery, nanocontact printing etc will come from entrepreneurial progress in bionanotechnology.”



Dr. Eric Brey

Assistant Professor, Biomedical Engineering

“The integration of concepts of entrepreneurship and innovation into our undergraduate and graduate education has received strong support from students, faculty, and administration at IIT. It is vital that students entering the workforce have these skills.”

Professor Frank Flury

Assistant Professor, Architecture

“My research interests and the way I operate have many parallels to entrepreneurial thinking. I’ve certainly leaned more about business strategies and seeing problems as opportunities.”


Dr. Victor Perez-Luna

Associate Professor, Chemical and Environmental Engineering

“I see a parallel between the entrepreneurship process and research. In both cases innovation is of utmost importance. These concepts should be an integral part of the undergraduate curriculum for science and engineering majors.”


Dr. Francisco Ruiz

Associate Professor, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering

“Entrepreneurship is not rocket science. This is rather discouraging for a rocket scientist like myself, but it also means a great majority of our students can benefit from it.”

Anthropology - Entrepreneurship

Anthropologists Entrepreneurs

Trained to think holistically Intuitively holistic[visionary, iconoclastic]

Take an evolutionary approach Forward-looking[know future demands]

Seek the emic perspective Intuitively emic[know when something will have value to others]

Trained to be inductive Intuitively inductive[keen observers, see openings]


What is the Impact?

� Entrepreneurship students will be taking our core methods

course this Spring

� The Institute of Public Anthropology will soon be employing

entrepreneurship majors to conduct ethnographic research

� One of our recent Anthropology graduates will be starting the

MBA program in 2009.

Discovery-based learning approach through collaboration with the Museum of Science and Industry

� MSI Chicago is the second-largest technology museum in the country with over

one million visitors per year. Collaboration with MSI provides an enormous potential

for educating all sectors of society on the benefits and potential of nanoscale

science and technology, particularly in combination with biology.

� Prototype instructional module/exhibit will be prepared through interprofessional

group projects (IPRO), unique to IIT.

� Such program will bring together students from IIT professional programs in

engineering, science, business, law, psychology, design and architecture to work

as a team.

� Through the combination of efforts from students at all levels and majors we will

develop improved methods to reach out to non-technically oriented people.


Impact in IIT curricula

� In 2007 I have also developed a graduate course ChBE 552/ PHYS 597

“Bionanotechnology”.

� This course is a novel concept to educate students in the field where

substantial part of the engineering and physical sciences graduates to be looking

for jobs in the nearest future.

� A special emphasis is put on current research in this area, a significant

portion of students homework consists of the current events assignments, where

the task is to write a fully referenced research paper in each of ten different areas

of current bionanotechnology-related research areas.

� The course team project involves a creation of a concept device which should

withstand a current market competition and summarize what needs to be

achieved in order for the device to be created.

� The Coleman Foundation announces the Foundation’s Faculty Entrepreneurship Fellows Pilot Program

� The intent of this program is to identify and engage 2-3 faculty members per participating campus from disciplines outside of Entrepreneurship

� Faculty Fellows, working under the guidance of the Project Director, will engage in projects extending the influence of entrepreneurial thought and practice (in adherence to the Coleman Foundation’s definition of Entrepreneurship), and strengthen the Project Director’s efforts to grow Entrepreneurship education across campus.

� Upon acceptance by the Foundation as a participating Faculty Entrepreneurship Fellows Program campus, Project Directors will lead recruitment and selection of Fellows in spring of 2009 with a formal application process. Those selected as Fellows will implement their ideas during the following academic year (fall 2009 –spring 2010).

� Fellowships would be for one academic year

� Faculty could apply for a second fellowship only if their first project was successful and they had one intervening year between first and second fellowship.

Faculty Entrepreneurship Fellows Pilot Program Description


� Fellows will receive a one-year stipend of $5,000

� Fellows stipends would support the following activities in support of the Coleman Foundation definition of Entrepreneurship (self-employment through business ownership):

� Creating an entrepreneurship class within their discipline (fall) and teaching it (spring or following fall)

� Modifying an existing course by incorporating entrepreneurial thought and practice

� The appropriateness of the addition in terms of amount and focus on practical entrepreneurship would be at the discretion of the lead professor/chair of Entrepreneurship on campus.

� Sponsoring, advising, and supervising a student-based entrepreneurial effort such as a new student business

� Fellows will be expected to attend the CEO Annual Conference during their Fellow year. Fellows would be required to present their project to other faculty at subsequent conferences after the Fellow year.

Coleman Foundation Faculty Entrepreneurship Fellows Program Description


� February: Applications distributed to select potential applicants

� May 1: Applications due

� May/June: Application review by Foundation

� June 30: Awards announced

� Fall: Fellows year begins
