Founded in 1888 as a Land Grant institution New Mexico State University (NMSU) has a long history of entrepenurship and business development in the community. &nbsp;As the second largest university in the state NMSU has a student population of nearly 18,000 students. Through the university discovery mission started by Dr. Carruthers, the Colleges of Business and Engineering have begun an initiative to integrate mulitdisciplinary learning across campus. This collaboration has encouraged students to take ownership of their learning, and has led to the creation of several dedicated innovation and design centers: The Aggie Innovation Space, Studio G, and Arrowhead Center.<p style="text-align: center;">{{#widgetWidget:Youtube|id=VVM2aUFlT2ABvxDPB2tWjo}}</p>

<span style="font-size:larger;"><span style="font-family:arialStudio G,helveticathe student incubator located in the Arrowhead Research park,sans-serif;">The implementation has been looking for ways to engage students in a more proactive manner. With the recent completion of workshops related renovations to innovation and entrepreneurship the Corbett Student Union, there is one of the greatest key ideas potential for available space to be occupied for getting entrepreneurship and innovation. This space would allow university student mentors and Innovation Fellows the ability to meet with students involved in these mattersa central location directly on campus.&nbsp;As Services to be provided would include a continuation of today, many workshops are held on current operations underway at the Arrowhead Entrepreneurship Institute and Aggie Innovation Space: business model development, rapid prototyping, although more promotion for these events should be givenconcept design, as well as a higher level of hands-on experiencemanufacturing assistance, probably by bringing in people who have specialized in these topicsand team development training.</span></span>&nbsp;

== Multidisciplinary Senior Design Classes (Capstone)<br/>[[File:3dslogonew.png|frame|right|3dslogonew.png]]==

<span style="font-size:larger;"><span style="font-family:arialRecognizing the global impact of education,helvetica,sans-serif;">NMSU it is hosting a 3 Day Startup (3DS) starting Sundayessential for students to work on multidisciplinary projects throughout their student tenure. Through the Aggie Innovation Space, April 13, 2014. This will definitely pull in engineering students interested have begun collaborating and working in developing ideas, a more open and put them supportive environment where experiences have allowed for mentors to work by making them participate in online-based workshopsemerge. By having at least a bi-monthly event like thisOver the past year, these mentors, from different majors, have worked together to guide a high number of students would be exposed to student projects through the design phase. Having seen the intent early success of this strategic planinitiative, we are hoping to implement a university wide senior design course that will enable students from every college to work together to solve industry-based problems.</span></span>

'''<span style="font-size:largerlarge;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"></span>Integration of Baja SAE into a marketable and multidisciplinary capstone</span>'''

== <span style="colorfont-size:#0000cd10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Required courses Capstone projects are one of the most important parts of an engineer’s education. Recognizing that capstone can be used to learn, use and refine skills related to I&E, it must be made better. Baja SAE is a design challenge that is put on entrepreneurship by Society of Automotive Engineers and to compete in this series take a great amount of engineering, marketing, and innovation teamwork. Most importantly this design challenge is created out of the idea of each college being considered a startup firm that is to design and market their vehicle. This creates a great deal of I&E thinking. My hope is that allows integration of Baja SAE into a capstone project with raise the student to develop hands-on experiencelevel of I&nbsp;E in capstone while also providing students with a useful engineering project/start up.</span> ==

<span style="font-size:larger;"><span style="font-family:arial,helveticaArial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Currently, there are no specific courses targeting students who may be interested in innovation and entrepreneurship. There are courses related to some kind of business entrepreneurship, but they are merely theoretical and lack hands-on experience.</span>Milestones:</span>

== <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 205);">Expansion of the current Aggie Innovation Space and creation of more Innovation Spaces</span> Industry Reverse Sabbatical ==

<span style="font-size:larger;">The University has taken the first steps in launching an Innovation Space at newest concept being developed within the NMSU College of Engineering, but more input is an Industry sabbatical that will allow for people in industry to get back on this space campus to teach a full course. &nbsp;The idea behind the initiative is neededfor students to gain familiarity with the practical applications of knowledge in industry. &nbsp;Course topics will range from circuit design to additive manufacturing, as well as more spaces like this on campusenabling interested students to get an early understanding of an industry that they may seek to join in the future.</span>&nbsp;

<span style="font-size: largerStudents, who work on Capstone project to complete their degrees, always dedicate their time to design and develop an idea or a concept to a prototype, demonstrating its working at the end of the semester;">Seeking future funding for Innovation Spaces like however, thesestudents hardly get any chance to assess if there is any Intellectual property associated with their project and also is it a viable technology to start-up a business around it. So, it is very important to teach these students how to do a preliminary technology evaluation and making build a business model canvas, exposing them more technologically upto a great learning technology transfer/entrepreneurial tool. After learning these concepts, students will be asked to assess their project in a step-toby-date is a vital actionstep process and present not only the technical part but also the business prospects of their work and thus earning an extra credit as an incentive.</span>

== <span style="color:#0000cd;">Think Increasing Awareness and Act BIG!</span> Engagement ==

<span style="font-size:largerThere is a wide array of resources available throughout the New Mexico State University Ecosystem that are unknown and underutilized. These resources are already established and continue to improve organically but are invisible in the eyes of most students on campus. The solution identified is to create a Marketing Blitz that will increase awareness of the resources but also push students to interact with these resources. Through large volume outreach to classes, faculty, and other organizations; awareness will increase and long term engagement will begin to develop.&nbsp;">-Organizing local TEDx events</span>

<span style="font-size[http:larger;">A partnership between the I&E Student Organization and faculty spaces, such as the Arrowhead Center, for working out some of the possible strategic plans (such as bi-monthly workshops) would help events and workshops be of greater quality, and would definitely attract more students//universityinnovation.<org/span>Mauricio%20Garcia Mauricio Garcia]

<span style="font-size[http: larger;">Coordination among students and faculty would allow I&E to be a bigger deal on campus, since both groups could place greater value on these matters//universityinnovation.<org/span>wiki/Brendan#New_Mexico_State_University.2C_UIF_Fellowship Brendan P. Sullivan]
