Each school under the Santa Clara University umbrella (Arts and Science, Engineering, and Business) seems to have a disconnect. They all seem to work with in their own school and not promote innovation by working together. Bringing all these schools together would surely promote a greater pool of ideas and innovations. </span></span>

<span id="docs-internal-guid-4ea59471-ec18-88e3-205f-1cfb80e7531b"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> </span>Santa Clara University has a wide range of Innovation and Entrepeneruship resources. The two biggest issues in strengthening the innovation culture at SCU seem to be broadening the scope of those resources and increasing student engagement with the opprotunities that are present. The Bronco Innovation Center concept is one to allow more resources for students to get hands on exploration and pursuit beyond the classroom relevant to innovation. This means learning more than just the brainstorming and basic prototyping that comes with the beginning of the design and innovation process, but really giving students the chance to understand the whole process.</span></span>

The plan would be contigent upon heavy involvement from a faculty champion willing to help train volunteer student consultants. The volunteers would have the opprotunity to gain hands-on experience in many projects within their area of discipline, and would be centrally connected to a great resource to pursue their own ideas. Overall, it would be a student-based support ot the defecit in "pursuit" of innovation on campus. </span>

<span style="font-size: 12px;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12px;">One of the stated problems was that students fail to "experiment" and use the Maker Lab as much as it is open. Currently, the 3D printers are very popular because the school sponsors and provide free filament, up a reasonable amount, for students. However, the laser cutters, while equally popular, are not used as frequently because students need to bring in their own material. This can be quite difficult if they don't posses a car or want to impulsively or quickly make something. </span>
<div><span style="font-size: 12px;"> </span>The proposed prototype is to install a large, locked cabinet in the mostly-empty break room just outside the Maker Lab that will hold laser-cutter-bed sized sheets of plywood and acrylic that students can purchase. The lab assistants running the open lab will use a credit card reader the Maker Lab staff has stated is already being installed. The cost of the sheets will be enough to refund the material cost, plus shipping, plus a small labor cost of TA's having to order and pick up the sheets. To simplify the system students will only be able to purchase full sheets and can either keep left overs to reuse to leave them in the community scrap bin.</div><div><br/></divu><div><br/u></div><div>
