'''Promoting student innovation George Fox University has a community that is ready to encourage an innovative and entrepreneurship'''entrepreneurial mindset. The research you conducted for your Landscape Canvas corresponds to physical resources and infrastructure have been heavily improved, and hands-on learning is a priority among the above 5 categoriesfaculty. Your research will be most robust Where it is lacking is in this first category, related to "Promoting student innovation implementation; students face a lack of resources and entrepreneurshipmentoring which makes spinout difficult."
='''Encouraging faculty Promoting student innovation and entrepreneurship'''=
While it doesn't seem as though it directly impacts youGeorge Fox University promotes many opportunities for students to discover innovation and entrepreneurship. One way this is done is through classes that encourage innovative thinking through projects. These classes include Engineering Principles, a two part class involving semester long team or individual projects designed to expand students open-ended problem solving skills and give them the extent technical knowledge and resources to which faculty are encouraged to innovate design, model, and pursue entrepreneurial pathwaysproduce the product.&nbsp;''<u style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">really Another engineering class is microprocessors, where students design a completely custom circuit board that does</u>''anything they want within the scope of the class. &nbsp;help determine In the extent business department, George Fox offers a variety of entrepreneurship and start-up focused classes which attempt to be as close to which they will encourage real business settings as possible. In a managerial accounting class students have to explore create their innovative own hypothetical campground business and present financial projections. There are multiple marketing and entrepreneurial potentialentreprenurship classes that give students the opportunity to work on real business projects for real companies. Encouragement In a manufacturing class offered at the faculty level is one school, students learn about manufacturing processes before visiting a variety of the things factories so that differentiates more developed I&E ecosystemsthey may make educated observations and suggestions. Under All around the "Encouraging faculty business and engineering departments George Fox University has the ability to promote innovation and entrepreneurship" category, please provide a succinct view of whether faculty are supported to be entrepreneurial or commercialize through their researchmany communication channels and deep industry connections.&nbsp;
Another avenue for student entrepreneurship is through the newly built Maker's space. The impressive 16,000 sq. ft engineering playground boasts a full machine shop, surveying shop, woodworking equipment, an additive manufacturing and prototype lab, an extensive tool room, and several computer labs. It is here that every freshman engineer learns to build a wobbler engine and compete their engine against the other engineering freshmen in the infamous Wobble Off. Here students have the opportunity to work on their own projects, from arcade machines to popsicle stick bridges to anything they can think of. A new modification since 2020 allows all majors at George Fox to take the access quiz to the MakerHub, and utilize the different facilities within. This creates room for innovation to be bridged across disciplines beyond engineering, if executed in a proper manner that teaches all users of the space the full capabilities of being in there.&nbsp;&nbsp;
='''Encouraging faculty innovation and entrepreneurship'''=
George Fox faculty focus is on teaching, though some research does happen throughout the school year and is more common in the summer. To advance at George Fox as a faculty member, you need to show quality teaching and some form of continuing scholarship, however scholarship is not required to be research with students, it can be an article in a peer-reviewed journal or a speech at a conference. The faculty do have diverse industrial backgrounds and passion projects, and they are beginning to share those with the students. For instance, a few years ago several faculty members with experience in the developing world have invited students to join them in Peru for a summer service project. The faculty'''Actively supporting s passion for service has the university technology transfer function'''potential to foster a positive I&E culture on campus.
='''Actively supporting the university technology transfer function'''=
Your research about IP policies in "Pursue" in the Landscape Canvas will give you a view into the resources your Unfortunately, George Fox University has no technology transfer office provides. Include this overview or any means of aiding students in "Actively supporting the university technology transfer function"connecting with industry to share new ideas.&nbsp;
='''Facilitating University-Industry Collaboration'''=
George Fox has connections with many local businesses such as A-dec, Legacy Health, and Nike, to name a few. Employees of these companies serve on advisory boards and attend regular career fairs. Many are also George Fox alums. Classes in manufacturing and start-up style business make trips to see companies practicing the principles they are learning about in class. The engineering program also has close relations with local industry through Senior Design, a capstone class in which senior students develop a product in conjunction with an industry partner.
='''Facilitating University-Industry CollaborationEngaging with regional and local economic development efforts'''=
Despite our close ties with local industries, George Fox University makes a minimal effort to benefit the community economically. At the beginning of the year, students receive a 'coupon card' with various discounts that students can use at local shops and restaurants, but the focus of this is to plug students into the community, and not necessarily to benefit the local economic development efforts. Some outside contracting is done through the maker's space,&nbsp;print shop, ceramics labs, sporting events, or other resources on campus but very little advertising goes into these functions and they&nbsp;are not widely encouraged.
=The ("Spin Out") section of your Landscape Canvas relates to research centers, industrial parks and industry/mentor networks and will give you a sense of whether the University is "Facilitating University-Industry Collaboration."&nbsp;=
