<span style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">This innovative campus spirit is strengthened within the business and engineering curricula through courses focusing on real world applications. These courses, </span><span style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">including CHE 4410 Process Design, CHE 4661 Transport in Biochemical and Biological Processes, and BMGT 4930 Business Strategy, </span><span style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">show students how to work with theoretical design models and develop economic & marketing strategies for their ventures. MKT 4900 provides students interested in I&E with the opportunity to participate in innovative activities through experiential learning as taught by local entrepreneurs. Additionally, this course prepares students for the campus wide Eagle Works business pitch competition held every spring.</span>
<span style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">The newest I&E course piloted Fall 2015, [https://www.tntech.edu/news/releases/nursing,-engineering-students-collaborate-on-health-care-problems Clinical Immersion at Disciplinary Interfaces], synergizes the minds of nursing and chemical engineering students to develop solutions for health care innovation. Over the semester, students explore the local hospital and interview health care providers to identify problems and develop solutions which fit the needs expressed through these experiences. At the end of the course, each team composed of nursing and chemical engineering students present their projects and prototypes to a panel of faculty and I&E professionals from the community.</span>

Tedx Nashville is a yearly event recently supported by the Dean’s Office, which promotes student attendance by purchasing student tickets. E-week is a national event in which many universities participate. During the event, various engineering majors are brought together and pitted against each other in competitions.</span></span><span style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Even if you are not a business or engineering major, there is still plenty to take part in, such as the recent Research, Innovation & Entrepreneurship Forum where speakers from the NSF gave talks to faculty and students regarding I&E.</span>
