Departments like the Schulze School of Entrepreneurship and the School of Engineering use their resources to teach and bring in outside entities to inspire students to be successful entrepreneurs. There are many courses that cover the theory of innovation and the design process. Hands-on and interactive courses are staples of the business and engineering schools. Students are prepared to implement what they have learned into their senior capstone course - where each team must research, design and create a product for/with an outside company. Students can also explore entrepreneurship beyond the classroom. For example, students can enter the Fowler Business Challenge and participate in the student club Design for America. New this year, the </span>TJ Bot Internet of Things Make-a-thon Event brings together entrepreneurs and engineers to design a cardboard robot with the mind of IBM's Watson. The Engineering Reverse Job Fair brings companies to the students, many of whom leave with internships for the following summer. The St. Thomas community nurtures students’ ability to think creatively and collaborate with each other.&nbsp;</span>
