= Overview =

= '''Promoting student innovation and entrepreneurship''' =

George Fox University promotes many opportunites for students to discover innovation and entrepreneurship. This is mainly done through classes that encourage innovative thinking through projects. These are classes like Engineering Principles, which is two parts, each part consisting of a end of semester project with an open ended way to solve a problem; Microprocessors, where students are allowed to design a completely custom circuit board that does whatever they want as long as they meet a few requirements; and Cost Accounting, where _________. George Fox University also has the abilty to easily promote any innovation and entrepreneur miindedness through their many communication channels such as the "Daily Bruin" or the "George Fox Journal".

= '''Encouraging faculty innovation and entrepreneurship''' =

Currently George Fox University does not encourage its facutly to be entreprenueral. All faculty are required to do research, which leads to innovations in all their respective fields, but all the research simply goes into accademic journals. Because of this lack of entrepreneural thought among the faculty, students are less aware about how they can learn about innovative and entreprenueral oportunities. In fact most faculty have no idea how to even help students explore innovative and entreprenueral ideas.

= '''Actively supporting the university technology transfer function''' =

Unfortunately, George Fox University has no technology transfer office or any means of aiding students in connecting with industry to share new ideas. 

= '''Facilitating University-Industry Collaboration''' =

Regarding university-industry collaboration, many connections exist for George Fox University. Several industries are on advisory boards and regularly attend career fairs. These are businesses like A-Dec, Legacy Health, and Nike, to name a few. The engineering program also has close relations with industry through Senior Design projects where senior engineers design a product to be used in industry.

= '''Engaging with regional and local economic development efforts''' =

Despite our close ties with local industries, George Fox University makes a minimal effort to benefit the community economically. At the beginning of the year, students receive a 'coupon card' with various discounts that students can use at local shops and restaurants, but the focus of this is to plug students into the community, and not necessarily to benefit the local economic development efforts.

He has experience in a number of programming languages such as: Java, Arduino, Verilog, C, C++, Assembly, Python, Groovy and Matlab. Bryan discovered through his studies he has a passion for low-level programing and robotic systems.

Bryan has learned to overcome a visual impairment that he was born with and has met with great academic success. He has also completed many projects while a student at George Fox University related to helping the visually impaired. These projects included a visual tracking system that would help the visually impaired learn to walk in a straight line and a handheld distance finding device that would help the visually impaired navigate the world without the use of a cane. He is currently working on a project relating to autonomous vehicles.

Bryan has many ideas for future products that he feels have the potential to be highly marketable. Because of this, he is very interested in encouraging a mindset of innovation and entrepreneurship at George Fox University.
