From including group projects that encourage students are enrolled in these programs. There seems to be a rather large disconnect between the innovate within their major to including group discussions connecting topics to current events, SCU Professors tend to encourage students and to innovate within the programsclassroom.

Each school under best resources and guidance from the Santa Clara University umbrella (Arts and Science, Engineering, and Business) seems Ciocca Center so that they are able to have a disconnect. They all seem to work with in their own school learn and not promote innovation by working together.

At Santa Clara University, however, The Bioinnovation and Design Lab at SCU currently hosts two projects with the individual schools Amronyx Corporation and G-Tech Medical Silicon Valley that are often siloedopen to students interested in learning how to apply knowledge learned in academia research to market with industry partners, lacking cross-collaborative activities and courses that would enrich the students’ experiences even furtheras it relates to addressing challenges in healthcare. Courses within In the Engineering school are excellent Leavey School of Business and Ciocca Center for technical trainingEntrepreneurship, and Business school courses prepare their students for much of the business scenarios they may encounterBronco Venture Accelerator, SCU Venture Capital Association, but at the core of entrepreneurship is a combination of technical advancements and business acumen that can only be achieved with collaboration.

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> ==<span style="font-size:x-large;">'''<font color="#000000" face="Arial"><span style="white-space: pre-2019)wrap;">Related Links</span></font>'''</span>== [[Santa Clara University|Santa Clara University]] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMqDIb4s9HM&feature=youtu.be Our Story] ===Spring 2019=== [[Payton Bradsky|Payton Bradsky]] [[Anthony_Fenzl|Anthony Fenzl]] [http://universityinnovation.org/Ruby%20Karimjee Ruby Karimjee] [http://universityinnovation.org/Ryan%20Lund Ryan Lund] ===Spring 2018=== [http://universityinnovation.org/Taylor%20Mau Taylor Mau] [http://universityinnovation.org/Mariah%20Manzano Mariah Manzano] [http://universityinnovation.org/Michael%20Mehta Michael Mehta] [http://universityinnovation.org/Connor%20Tisch Connor Tisch] ===Spring 2017=== [http://universityinnovation.org/Matthew%20Belford Matthew Belford] [http://universityinnovation.org/Will%20McMullen Will McMullen] [http://universityinnovation.org/Rory%20Pannkuk Rory Pannkuk] [http://universityinnovation.org/Andrew%20Torrance Andrew Torrance] __NOTOC__
