There seems to be a rather large disconnect between the students collaborate and the programs. This is not for create projects with a lack variety of tryingmachinery and tools. Many organizations try very hard to organize to studentsSecondly, but there are not very good channels for connecting the Senior Design Program instituted in the School of Engineering encourages students to innovate and produce cutting-edge projects using their desired programknowledge accumulated in their undergraduate careers. SureAdditionally, the Bronco Accelerator is another strong example of the University supplying entrepreneurs with funds, there are bulletin boards all around campusresources, and emails that go out, but most students ignore both of these methods.

Bringing all these schools together would surely promote a greater pool of ideas and innovations. </span></span>'''
= <span style="font-size:x-largeAs Santa Clara University is based in the heart of Silicon Valley, there is a thread of innovation that can be consistently seen through many of the different professors’ teachings on campus. From including group projects that encourage students to innovate within their major to including group discussions connecting topics to current events, SCU Professors tend to encourage students to innovate within the classroom. Outside the classroom, many professors are either directors or fellows of their own labs such as the Maker Lab, EPIC Lab, COVE, Frugal Innovation Hub, the Imaginarium and so on. Faculty encourage students to find solutions to real world problems by using the skills that they learned in the classroom;">STRATEGY #1: REINVENTING RESOURCE MARKETING AND COMMUNICATIONS</span> =this builds an innovative atmosphere and urges students to think about the impact of their knowledge and skills. Furthermore, The Ciocca Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship has a Faculty Advisory Board that provides faculty with a way to guarantee that students are receiving the best resources and guidance from the Ciocca Center so that they are able to learn and craft the best innovative experiences around campus.

Through Camino, club leaders, event organizers, and school administrators could communicate resources directly to interested students by publishing announcements about events when they are announced, directly messaging students to work out questions or RSVPs, and automatically add the event dates, times, and details to the students’ Google calendars. Students would sign up for which “groups” they would be interested in, whether they be Entrepreneurship, Art, Career Preparation, whatever it might be, and only receive notifications for those interests. It would be much more streamlined and direct than our current means of communication, and also helps grey out Collaboration Among the boundaries between schools.Schools at SCU</span></span>

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> =

A problem with these classes is physical fliers advertising events that they don’t satisfy any requirement, are offered at odd times, and they are only worth one unit. This makes it so students can't or don’t want get involved in, but an overload of information has led to take themmost engineering students neglecting these efforts. Therefore by combining them all into a 4-unit class would solve this problem. A problem that hasn’t been resolved yet Typically, the same group of students is attending each event, so the fact that these classes are traditionally at odd times and are hard to fit challenge resides in expanding the schedule. If the classes were all group of attendees to a part wider range of the same class it wouldn’t engineers. Our team intends to have a large, quarterly event where organizers and professors can pitch their events to be squeezed in eliminating the potential students, which would restrict advertising to a few hours as opposed to take other classeslengthy, weekly emails. The largest benefit of these classes being in line so they can build off each otherAdditionally, our team members will act as liasons between the administration/event organizers and the students by raising awareness through fliers, social media advertising, and come together in a big final project that has a real world componentoutreach to clubs.</span></span>
