| The Entrepreneurship at the Interface of Medicinal and Polymer Sciences (EMPS) Program at the University of Southern Mississippi was funded in 2003 by the National Science Foundations Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) program out of the Division of Graduate Education. This program brings Science graduate students into contact with the concepts and practices of the business world as applied to a field at the interface of two science disciplines. This article offers perspective opinions of a PhD candidate in the School of Polymers and High Performance Materials (Justin Chan) and a MS candidate in the Department of Economic and Workforce Development at the University of Southern Mississippi (Thomas Barker) after. Each gives a description of a class taken together, “Early Stages of Technology Innovation,” a class designed to relate business concepts - brainstorming, marketing, intellectual property - to technology with a medicinal chemistry and polymer science emphasis.
