<p style="text-align: center;">[[File:Back to School ADS.png]]</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Founded in 1888 as a Land Grant institution New Mexico State University (NMSU) has a long history of entrepenurship entrepreneurship 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 multidisciplinary 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><p style="text-align: justify;">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJStVYEjawo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJStVYEjawo]</p><p style="text-align: center;"></p>

== Studio G Satelite Satellite Office<br/> ==
Studio G, the student incubator located in the Arrowhead Research park, has been looking for ways to engage students in a more proactive manner. With the recent completion of renovations to the Corbett Student Union, there is the potential for available space to be occupied for entrepreneurship and innovation. This space would allow university student mentors and Innovation Fellows the ability to meet with students in a central location directly on campus. Services to be provided would include a continuation of current operations underway at the Arrowhead Entrepreneurship Institute and Aggie Innovation Space: business model development, rapid prototyping, concept design, manufacturing assistance, and team develpment development training.&nbsp;
== Multidisciplinary Senior Design Classes (Capstone)<br/> ==
Recognizing the global impact of education, it is essential for students to work on mulitdisciplinary multidisciplinary projects throughout their student tenure. Through the Aggie Innovation Space, engineering students have begun collaborating and working in a more open and supportive environment where experiences have allowed for mentors to emerge. Over the past year, these mentors, from different majors, have worked together to guide a number of student projects through the design phase. Having seen the early success of this initiative, 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 style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Introduce baja in a greater manner the next semester</span>
#<span style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Full integrate Baja SAE as a capstone project</span>
#<span style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Based on successfull ingegration successful integration other similar projects will be introduced to other departments capstone projects&nbsp;</span>
== Pop-up Classes<br/> ==
Building on early mentorship initiatives, it was determined that many students sought to learn in a non-traditional manner that would allow them to gain familiarity with new concepts quickly. These courses are desinged designed to help all university students learn the value behind innovation, and to provide them the essential tools for their project needs. &nbsp;These courses have been very well recieved received by university faculty memebers members who regularly attend and often teach these new pop-up courses. &nbsp;
== Industry Reverse Sabbatical ==
The newest concept being developed within the College of Engineering is an Industry sabbatical that will allow for people in industry to get back on campus to teach a full course. &nbsp;The idea behind the initative initiative is for students to gain familiarity with the practial practical applications of knowedge knowledge in industry. &nbsp;Course topics will range from circuit design to additive manufacturing, enabling interested students to get an early understanding of an industry that they may seek to join in the future.&nbsp;
== Technology Transfer and Business Model Canvas ==
There are a large number of students who compete in very innovative STEM competitions on campus, but are unaware that what they are doing is innovative. &nbsp;A solution to this problem is to create a semester long Innovation Challenge that has teams develop innovative solutions to a real world problem and then present it to a panel of judges and receive awards and prizes. &nbsp;Part of the challenge is creating a prototype of their solution, but also creating a business model canvas and trying to find a way to successfully market their product. &nbsp;This approach focuses on improving students' design-thinking, entrepreneurial and communication skills while defining for them what the real meaning of innovation is. &nbsp;It is crucial that we develop students interest in innovation and entrepreneurship at a young age in order to create a strong I&E culture on our college campus. &nbsp;
 
== Increasing Awareness and Engagement ==
 
There 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;
