Many teachers in the business school teach with the entrepreneurial mindset, and give real world examples from their own experiences. Many faculty also have important relationships with start up companies and encourage these companies to come speak on campus. Professors also get many grants that the hand off to students to encourage entrepreneurship. For example in 2008, the engineering school was given a very large grant to grow the entrepreneurial opportunities on campus, and that they have. Every single senior must create their own design product, considering many entrepreneurial ideals. Strategic Priorities</span></span></span></span>

The “Bronco Link” , there is a site where thread of innovation that can be consistently seen through many of the different professors’ teachings on campus. From including group projects that encourage students can see job and internship postings for companies looking for Santa Clara University to innovate within their major to including group discussions connecting topics to current events, SCU Professors tend to encourage studentsto innovate within the classroom. There Outside the classroom, many professors are many startups either directors or fellows of their own labs such as the Maker Lab, EPIC Lab, COVE, Frugal Innovation Hub, the Imaginarium and entrepreneurial opportunities so on . Faculty encourage students to find solutions to real world problems by using the sightskills that they learned in the classroom; this builds an innovative atmosphere and urges students to think about the impact of their knowledge and skills. As stated earlierFurthermore, there are also very many useful connections The Ciocca Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship has a Faculty Advisory Board that provides faculty with teachers. Since so many teachers have worked in industry in is very easy to ask a teacher way to set up an interview, guarantee that students are receiving the best resources and all teachers guidance from the Ciocca Center so that they are willing able to helplearn and craft the best innovative experiences around campus. </span></span>

One very integral way is through The Bioinnovation and Design Lab at SCU currently hosts two projects with the many jobs Amronyx Corporation and G-Tech Medical Silicon Valley that Santa Clara University supplies the area with. Students are given very many opportunities open to students interested in the area and often stay learning how to work apply knowledge learned in the area. The school also runs collaborations academia research to market with quite a few businesses industry partners, as it relates to addressing challenges in healthcare. In the area. An example Leavey School of this is the collaboration with NASA Business and Ciocca Center for Entrepreneurship, the engineering schoolBronco Venture Accelerator, SCU Venture Capital Association, and SCU Finance Club offers corporate-backed internships to students who are interested in which many students can work. The school also encourages its students applying analytical skills to be socially responsible real-world market data and advising services for start-ups in all things including promoting charitable programs in dormsSilicon Valley. Lastly, the College of Arts and Sciences (Department of Biochemistry and Chemistry, Department of Engineering) and even requiring a class that works with some kind Leavey School of charityBusiness frequently invite industry-veterans for lecture series and speaker events, where opportunities to participate or apply for internships local to Silicon Valley are discussed and presented.

<span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Most essential to the success of real-life projects and teams is collaboration. At Santa Clara University, however, the individual schools are often siloed, lacking cross-collaborative activities and courses that would enrich the students’ experiences even further. Courses within the Engineering school are excellent for technical training, and Business school courses prepare their students for much of the business scenarios they may encounter, but at the core of entrepreneurship is a combination of technical advancements and business acumen that can only be achieved with collaboration. We intend to implement a hands-on, project-based course that will bring engineering and business students together in a collaborative environment. Students will learn crucial technical and business topics, and how their intersection can push innovation to the next level. Teams will be made up of students in various majors who can act as both leaders and learners, ultimately contributing to a product that will move through a version of the entire entrepreneurial process. Based on student interests and market research, this course will be developed (by our team and faculty champion) to meet the demands of the students and their future careers as collaborative contributors to innovative success.</span></span>

The Engineering School has sent out emails, created an online calendar, and even put up physical fliers advertising events that students can get involved in, but an overload of information has led to most engineering students neglecting these efforts. Typically, the same group of students is attending each event, so the challenge resides in expanding the group of attendees to a wider range of engineers. Our team intends to have a large, quarterly event where organizers and professors can pitch their events to students, which would restrict advertising to a few hours as opposed to lengthy, weekly emails. Additionally, our team members will act as liasons between the administration/event organizers and the students by raising awareness through fliers, social media advertising, and outreach to clubs.</span></span>

<span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15.3333px; white-space: pre-wrap;">In order to create demand for the abundant I&E resources on campus, we must first understand students' expectations and ambitions for their college careers. If they expect a large emphasis on entrepreneurship in a classroom setting, we can meet them there with new courses and revamped lab guidelines. If we find students want more freedom and are interested in entrepreneurship outside of the classroom, we will provide access to community-sourced projects and resources. We would like to find out where these expectations and desires lie through extensive market research. We hope to properly gain the perspective of students and professors by explicitly speaking to these individuals, as well as implicitly analyzing which resources, approaches, and courses are popular and why others need work.</span></span>

Due to this fact, when students find themselves in internships and full-time jobs, they are ill prepared for the more open-ended problem solving that exists in the workplace. In order to better prepare students for the future, we hope to rework labs to allow for more freedom in studentss solutions and creative problem solving. Additionally, by better promoting more projects on campus, students will get the opportunity to collaborate with other engineers, which is a key component of real-world projects. The combination of these two initiatives will ideally instill confidence in students when they are asked to work on collaborative, open-ended projects during their internships and full-time jobs, which will lead to even more opportunities for the students in the future. As such, we intend to work with faculty to create innovative lab guidelines and objectives, as well as provide more opportunities for team and project creation.</span></span>
