The curricular plan considers, in addition to the subjects of the scientifical and technological area, Humanities, Management and Innovation courses, which result in an holistic training that further improves the professional value of our graduates. Innovation is and entrepreneurship are encouraged on the campus through events courses, extracurricular organizations and presentations at spaces where students become empowered to enhance their ideas.</span></span> <h4> <strong> I&E Courses </strong> </h4><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif"><span style="background-color: transparent; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: small">Some of the courses offered are "Innovation and Product Development", in which students explore the design thinking methodology and other techniques to apply in the development of a real product. Three classes focus on business management and entrepreneurship: "Company and Customer", "Business Management", and ‘Products and Services Design’. Finally, there is a course called "Entrepreneurs in Action" where students work on identifying needs and improvement opportunities and implementing solutions in a real business.</span></span> <span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif"><span style="background-color: transparent; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: small">Some courses don’t have a specific component of I&E because they are related to core areas, but students are required to go through an innovative process to develop a solution. The course ‘Biodesign’ is from the mandatory bioengineering curriculum. It is about the use of design in order to create a solution to a specific problem following the steps of Design Thinking with biomedicine or biotechnology. Another course called ‘Information Systems’ gives students of Computer Science the opportunity to discover a specific problem that requires technology to be solved. For that, it is necessary to empathize with the objective public in order to design the best software that fits them.</span></span> <span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif"><span style="background-color: transparent; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: small">On 2014, UTEC launched its executive education program, which include Demo Daysis an educational proposal of professional specialization whose core axes are innovation, Company Talksdata, agility, different workshopsand technology. Among its 7 schools, etcthe "Academy of Innovation and Omniquality" stands up. It offers the courses "Specialization on User Experience and Service Design" and "Specializatión on StartUp Creation" which put in action the I&E theory into real business cases.</span></span><br /><h4> <strong> Extracurricular Clubs & Activities</strong> </h4>

<span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif"><span style="fontbackground-color: transparent; white-sizespace: small"><span style="pre-wrap; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: small">In another hand, Another essential element we have at the university is the presence of change-maker students who empower other students to develop an innovative scientific mindset and spirit of curiosity needed to have a strong entrepreneurship ecosystem. For that reason, SpinOut UTEC Ventures accelerator(before Comunidad I&E UTEC) was born in 2016, which holds events in order its main mission is to promote improve the I&Eecosystem in the region, like Global Startup Labsstarting with UTEC students. This idea was born from the initiative of the first 4 Peruvian University Innovation Fellows. They have been creating different workshops such as micro classes, GIST Startup Bootcampmeetups with co-founders of Peruvian startups, Peru Design Weekspeed-dating for startup ideas, and the 1776 Challenge Cupa program to train new trainers in design thinking. As wellThere is also a student organization called ProUnity, which is focused on spreading information about business resources such as scrum, UTEC has design coursesthinking, project masterclasses, soft skills workshops, like Innovation International Program and Innovation Through DesignPMO consulting. In addition, on 2021 students from different careers created IISE, which are focused in professional specializationa chapter of the Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineering that seeks to promote research considering innovation. </span></span>

Students use spaces like Fablab<span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif"><span style="background-color: transparent; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(0, 0, UTEC garage or 0); font-size: small">Some means to diffuse these initiatives and organizations are the Product Design Laboratory to develop their projects. Some of them have developed collaborative projects following: ‘Revista Piso 11, where news is shared with MIT, Harvard students through visual and Colorado School of Mines. On the other handaudiovisual media, something was born in 2016: Comunidad I&E UTECpodcast, whose main mission is where students are interviewed to improve the know more about their experience in areas like I&E ecosystem in ; the social media managed by the university; and the region, starting with weekly Newsletter Enterate UTEC where studentsfind out about opportunities and success stories in I&E and other areas. This idea was born from the initiative of the first 4 peruvian University Innovation Fellows.</span></span>

Nowadays<span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif"><span style="background-color: transparent; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: small">On 2022, the ways students can learn about I&E around Internationalization Office achieved its first successful group for the campus has grown that we have Tech Mission to Silicon Valley, an effort to expose a Student Club called "Revista Piso 11" where news are shared so group of students can get to know what is going onone of the most innovative environments in the world. During 5 days, they got to network with engineers and innovation experts from companies such as Tesla, Google, Amazon, NASA, etc.</span></span>

<strong>Maker Spaces </strong> <spanstyle="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif"><span style="background-color: transparent; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: small">We have the UTEC Ventures accelerator, which years ago held events in order to promote I&E, like Global Startup Labs, GIST Startup Bootcamp, Peru Design Week, and the 1776 Challenge Cup. Nowadays, the accelerator performs certain activities under selection processes such as PreIncUVa, where students have the opportunity to discover a problem and work around it to develop a Business Model, and IncUVA which is an incubation program that allows students to search for the product-market fit of their solution. All the projects are presented in a Demo Day, open to all the students, to show the progress of all the entrepreneurship incubated.</span></span> <br /> <p style="text-align: justify"></p><p style="text-align: center">[[File:Disrupton.jpeg|287x158px|Disrupton.jpeg|link=Special:FilePath/Disrupton.jpeg]][[File:Hack2.jpeg|316x158px|Hack2.jpeg]][[File:FirmaCIE.png]][[File:Piso11.png|316x158px|Filelink=Special:Piso11FilePath/Hack2.pngjpeg]]</p><p style="text-align: justify"></p><p style="text-align: justify"></p>
