New Mexico State University (NMSU) 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: 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.&nbsp;<p style="text-align: center;">{{#widgetWidget:Youtube|id=VVM2aUFlT2ABvxDPB2tWjo}}</p>

Through the university discovery mission started by Dr. Carruthers, the Colleges of Business and Engineering have begun an initiative to integrate 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>= - Strategies for the Expansion of Innovation & Entrepreneurship - =

<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 getting 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 involved in a central location directly on these matterscampus.&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, although more promotion to these events should be givenrapid prototyping, concept design, as well as a higher level of hands-on experiencemanufacturing assistance, probably by bringing people specialized on 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 3DS (3 Day Startup) starting essential for students to work on Sundaymultidisciplinary projects throughout their student tenure. Through the Aggie Innovation Space, April 13, 2014. This will definitely pull engineering students interested on developing ideas, have begun collaborating and working in a more open and put them supportive environment where experiences have allowed for mentors to work by making them participate on online-based workshopsemerge. By having at least a bi-monthly event like Over the past year, thesementors, 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:larger10pt;"><span style="font-family:arial,helveticaArial,sans-serif;">CurrentlyCapstone projects are one of the most important parts of an engineer’s education. Recognizing that capstone can be used to learn, there are no specific courses targeting students innovation use and entrepreneurshiprefine skills related to I&E, it must be made better. There are courses related Baja SAE is a design challenge that is put on by Society of Automotive Engineers and to some kind compete in this series take a great amount of business entrepreneurshipengineering, but they are merely theoretical marketing, and 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 lack hands-on experiencemarket their vehicle. This creates a great deal of I&E thinking.<My hope is that integration of Baja SAE into a capstone project with raise the level of I&E in capstone while also providing students with a useful engineering project/span>start up.</span>

<span style="font-size:larger;"><span style="font-family:arial,helveticaArial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">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>Milestones:</span>

== <span style="color:#0000cd;">3. Expansion Students, 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 current Aggie Innovation Space semester; however, these students hardly get any chance to assess if there is any Intellectual property associated with their project and creation of more Innovation Spaces</span> == <span style="fontalso is it a viable technology to start-size:larger;">The University has taken the first steps on launching an Innovation Space on NMSU College of Engineeringup a business around it. So, but more input on this space it is neededvery important to teach these students how to do a preliminary technology evaluation and build a business model canvas, as well as more spaces like this on campus.<exposing them to a great learning technology transfer/span> [[File:Aggie.png|border|left|Aggieentrepreneurial tool.png]] <span style="font-size: larger;">Seeking for future funding for Innovation Spaces like After learning theseconcepts, and for making them more technologically upstudents 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: rgb(0, 0, 205);">5. Student and Faculty Coordination</span> == <span style="font-size[[Category:larger;">A partnership between I&E Student Organization and faculty such as the Arrowhead Center for working out some of the possible strategic plans such as bi-monthly workshops would make events and workshops be of greater quality, and would definitely attract more students.</span> <span style="font-size: larger;">A coordination between students and faculty would allow I&E to be a bigger deal on campus, since both groups could input a greater value to these matters.</span>     == <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 205);">6. Networking with other Universities</span> == <span style="font-size:larger;">Networking is the single most powerful tool marketing strategie to accelerate and sustain success for any individual or organization. By working with other Fellow Universities to implement and work on ideas together would make them be feasible, and not let them to reamin just as mere plans.</span> <span style="font-size: larger;">Getting and providing advise from/to others can make projects be of a greater value than just sticking to your own ideas.
