Paving a Path to Innovation
From Inventor to Entrepreneur
Engineering innovation at Dartmouth has produced groundbreaking advances from health-care technologies to green energy to autonomous arctic robots. With the help of experienced faculty entrepreneurs and extensive Dartmouth resources, faculty, alumni, and students have turned their ideas into vital and successful companies. And Dartmouth offers the nation's first engineering PhD Innovation Program meant to provide graduates with the entrepreneurial training they need to turn research discoveries into marketable applied technologies.
From the Laboratory to the World
At Dartmouth, where half the tenure-track faculty have started companies, these members of the new-venture community provide students with insights into real-world applications of engineering, including the business challenges associated with entrepreneurship. And no matter their individual experience, all share a collective belief: that in the process of bringing innovations to market, they have become better engineers.
Dartmouth Entrepreneurial Resources
Magnuson Center for Entrepreneurship
With an expanding network of alumni, students, and faculty aspiring to launch business ventures and social enterprises, Dartmouth established the Magnuson Center for Entrepreneurship with a gift from Allison and Rick Magnuson '79. Housed in the Class of 1982 Engineering and Computer Science Center, Magnuson provides entrepreneurial education and experiences, funding and networking opportunities, and placement of students in internship positions.
Office of Entrepreneurship & Technology Transfer
Led by Professor of Engineering and Associate Provost Eric Fossum, The Office of Entrepreneurship and Technology Transfer (OETT) oversees the The Dartmouth Technology Transfer Office (TTO) and the Magnuson Center for Entrepreneurship. It also serves as a resource in the areas of intellectual property and technology commercialization, and facilitates technology transfer-related activities for students, faculty, and alumni.
Dartmouth NSF I-Corps™ Program
Dartmouth is a proud partner of the National Science Foundation's Interior Northeast Innovation Corps Hub (IN I-Corps) and National Innovation Network aimed at helping entrepreneurial-minded students, faculty, and researchers accelerate research discoveries from the lab to the marketplace.
Tuck School of Business
Tuck School of Business offers a two-year program leading to the MBA, and Tuck School professors teach the business courses that are part of Thayer School's Masters in Engineering Management program.
