New Mexico State University at Las Cruces is the second largest university in the state of New Mexico, and currently has more than 19,000 students. NMSU currently has a vision{{#Widget: the expansion of its entrepreneuship and innovation activities on campus. Therefore, NMSU, as of Spring 2014, contacted the University Innovation Fellowship Program for the sole purpose of training students on matters related to the I&E ecosystem. Youtube|id=BvxDPB2tWjo}}

= Top Strategies Recognizing the global impact of education, it is essential for students to work on multidisciplinary projects throughout their student tenure. Through the Expansion 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 Innovation & Entrepreneurship =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:larger10pt;"><span style="font-family:arial,helveticaArial,sans-serif;">The implementation Capstone projects are one of the most important parts of workshops an engineer’s education. Recognizing that capstone can be used to learn, use and refine skills related to Innovation I&E, it must be made better. Baja SAE is a design challenge that is put on by Society of Automotive Engineers and to compete in this series take a great amount of engineering, marketing, and Entrepreneurship teamwork. Most importantly this design challenge is one created out of the greatest key ideas for getting the students involved on these mattersidea of each college being considered a startup firm that is to design and market their vehicle.This creates a great deal of I&nbsp;As E thinking. My hope is that integration of today, many workshops are held on Baja SAE into a capstone project with raise the Aggie Innovation Space, although more promotion to these events should be given, as well as a higher level of hands-on experience, probably by bringing people specialized on these topicsI&E in capstone while also providing students with a useful engineering project/start up.</span></span>

<span style="font-size:larger;"><span style="font-family:arialStudents, who work on Capstone project to complete their degrees,helveticaalways dedicate their time to design and develop an idea or a concept to a prototype,sans-serifdemonstrating its working at the end of the semester;">Currentlyhowever, these students hardly get any chance to assess if there are no specific courses targeting students innovation is any Intellectual property associated with their project and entrepreneurshipalso is it a viable technology to start-up a business around it. There are courses related So, it is very important to some kind of teach these students how to do a preliminary technology evaluation and build a business entrepreneurshipmodel canvas, exposing them to a great learning technology transfer/entrepreneurial tool. After learning these concepts, students will be asked to assess their project in a step-by-step process and present not only the technical part but they are merely theoretical also the business prospects of their work and lack hands-on experiencethus earning an extra credit as an incentive.</span></span>

<span style="font= Involving Students in Grades 9-size:larger;"><span style13 =="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">By requiring all students or at least some majors (for seeing how it actually works) to take at least 2 or 3 entrepreneurship courses with a higher level of difficulty, they could learn how to set their ideas into the ground. I would also suggest that students that are taking these classes, should be required to form part of an Entrepreneuship & Innovation Student Organization and come up with a team project by the end of one of their courses.</span></span>
