Glenn Gaudette, Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering, completed Experiential Classroom XIII , a workshop with the theme of “Reaching and Teaching Tomorrow’s Entrepreneurs.” Professor Gaudette, along with 74 other delegates from 7 different countries, participated in activities aimed at improving teaching in creativity, innovation and providing students with an entrepreneurial mindset. The workshop was held over four days at Oklahoma State University, hosted by the School of Entrepreneurship. As part of the training, Prof. Gaudette used a case study to teach OSU students about identifying opportunity in new ventures. He also competed in a Venture Strategy simulation game, taking second place with his Experiential Classroom partner, Cedric Pearce Ph.D. Prof Gaudette plans to incorporate much of what he learned at workshop in his future courses, including a new course he is developing for WPI’s recently awarded IGERT.
