== Inspiring Design Thinking ==

<span style="~~font-size: 16pt;~~ font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-weight: 400; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Although the culture of innovation and entrepreneurship at MSU has come a long way in the last few years, there’s still a lot of room to grow. Many students, especially underclassmen, do not even have innovation and entrepreneurship on their radar, This unfortunate truth presents an opportunity to provide students with accessible and exciting opportunities to learn about innovation and entrepreneurship early on.

== Encouraging the Pursuit of Innovation and Entrepreneurship ==

Students are currently becoming more and more interested by the process of  entrepreneurship yet aren’t encouraged to follow the this route in major degrees here at Michigan State University. It is important that the campus culture encourages students to pursue their entrepreneurial goals as well as inspire capable and innovative students to follow the route of entrepreneurship throughout their studies and following graduation.

~~=== ===~~

== Providing Tools for Realizing Entrepreneurial Goals ==

Once students at Michigan State decide they have ~~the confidence and~~ a desire to ~~follow entepreneurship~~pursue their innovation and entrepreneurship goals, then they ~~quickly realize that they lack~~ can begin to utilize the ~~tools necessary to do so~~resources provided at MSU. A large part of the resources provided here are sustainable but may leave students unable to determine how to use this ~~problem~~ skill for their major. It is ~~satisfied by the Innovation Center in the Business College, but it’s~~ important that students leave the university with the tools necessary to maintain their innovation and entrepreneurship independently and successfully. ~~===  Strategy #1: Provide an entrepreneurship concentration within all engineering majors; specifically designed for entrepreneurship~~ to use in their ~~field~~future careers.<br/span> ~~===~~ These specialized classes will focus on students who know that they eventually want to pursue entrepreneurship, but do not know what their next steps are. There will be business classes on business model development and how to get capital, as well as classes on what entrepreneurship looks like in their field, some of which may range from patent writing and processes to software development and consumer testing.

For instance, a brief seminar on patent writing may suit students better who are at a particular point in their entrepreneurial track but need a little extra information.

In order to do this, we have decided to hold a monthly innovation and entrepreneurship workshop. This workshop will be lead by students for students. In this workshop, students will be introduced to design thinking processes in parallel with business model processes. Our goal is not to make every student at MSU a user experience designer or business owner, but to teach students these mindsets in hopes that it will make them better at whatever it is they are pursuing.
