== Preceive Perceived E&I ==

From this standpoint Norwich is appears relatively strongfrom the standpoint of entrepreneurship and innovation (E&I). Most majors stress the importantce importance of E&I and there are great events to inspire E&I. Lecture series that are both major specific and open to allare often motivating and inspiring. There is are also great opportunities to practice and further develop one's leadership oportunites and skills. There are formal coursesthat provide opportunities to engage in entrepreneurial thinking. A growing E&I club is hoping to increase engagement in the E&I environment activities around campus. However Opening new communication strategies are lacking. There are networks within the university and also with the surrounding area is a few career fairs major goal of the Entrepreneurship and a school paper but nothing strongly promoting E&IInnovation Club.

The business school offers many business management and leadership courses that convey E&I risks and benifitsbenefits. There are also many adjunct professors who own their own companiesbusinesses or are engaged in great research projects. Clubs on campus that hold events relating to E&I are relatively limited. The growing Entrepreneurship and Innovations Innovation Club is hoping to hold more events , sponsor student-led initiatives, and levy create a permanent E&I space. In the school for funding to create some sort Spring of open lab. One competion has been held solely for 2014, one E&I and that focused competition was a speach competions held on why E&I is important to Americacampus.

There The university was founded on principles of experiential education. Many programs have significant lab requirements offering hands-on experiences. Every program requires a senior, capstone design project that is little applied focused on the students' developing their own creative works. The capstone projects provide a great opportunity for E&I around campus. There activity to be incorporated or highlighted, but it is normal course work not required and lab varies greatly depending on the interests of the students. Formal laboratory courses provide great opportunities to gain hands-on experience, but do not necessarily provide opportunities for students to work but nothing devoted on their own projects. A dedicated ideation / creation space, not scheduled for classes, may invite more students to apply E&Iprinciples in their pursuits. Our only machine lab is often open for free use but you have to coordinate that with the proctor. No set internships or co-op oportunities are available, but our Career Developement Development Center is very helpful in finding new at supporting students seeking paid, outside internships and is always willing to help out when they can.

The only resource we have for comitting Approximately 150k is set aside annually to support undergraduate student based research ideas. Students may seek funding to an idea is further research their ideas through a grant systemprogram that supports them as they commit to spend 10 weeks, full-time, in pursuit of their ideas. Research grants for the summer are easily obtainable if you write Students select a great proposal mentor of their choosing and find a faculty member who is interested in the topic. Professors have access to university labs and the Student Activities Board often offer help when writing grantsfacilities. 

From a reframing standpoint many Many students have no idea that we are located in a top ten state for entrepreneurship([http://accd.vermont. There gov/business/start/entrepreneurship http://accd.vermont.gov/business/start/entrepreneurship]). From a reframing standpoint, there are many resources outside of the university like (e.g. Start-Up Vermont or , VCET, PeakPitch, The Generator) which are great services for regional entrepreneurs. Most professors are interested in there their students ' work and often lend out information on networking support and encourage the students as they network and seek growth opportunities for the students idea to growtheir ideas. === Landscape Canvas === ---- [[Filehttps:VCETlogo//docs.google.jpgcom/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Av7vJTO2J5_pdHhzb21xR1ZnSVNrZWJVZmU3bnVocmc&usp=drive_web#gid=0 Norwich University Landscape Canvas ] = Related Links = ---- [[Jacob Keasbey|Jacob Keasbey]] [[Norwich University Student Priorities|thumbNorwich University Student Priorities]] [[Category:Universities]][[Category:Schools]][[Category:Norwich_University]]{{CatTree|Norwich_University}}
