Innovation + Entrepreneurship Lab is an interdisciplinary course led by professor Feng with a panel of advising faculties from Colleges in the University of Houston and other institutions. This course is about establishing an open environment for the interdisciplinary E-teams formed by students, business mentors, and faculty advisors. Through a well-structured design and technology development and business building framework, E-teams go through the real-world problem-solving process to develop valuable intellectual properties with an attempt to form startups in bringing these technologies to the market.
