The Business and Design Schools are the leaders in the creation and implementation of I&E opportunities in the classroom, with the Industrial Engineering department trailing not far behind. More and more, courses and study programs have been modified in order to further interest and expose students to I&E. These courses teach students the importance of keeping their minds open to everything I&E has to offer, and help them harvest finer entrepreneurial skills. Some of these courses have students dedicate the whole semester’s work to developing a project of their choosing, while others expose them to real-life cases and make them think outside the box.</span></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.68; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 11pt; text-align: justify; padding: 0pt 30pt 0pt 0pt;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-89a39cfe-7fff-5181-c024-d139675a4bd4"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Even though most projects deviate and stay in just dreams, there are participation circles that step in to help student entrepreneur.

Given its long-established national renown as the pioneer university in terms of R&D, it was just a matter of time before innovation and entrepreneurship ensued as a practice and became key to the faculty production at Los Andes. At the moment, investigative portfolios and academic production from the faculty members is classified in one of 5 big topics: #Neuroscience#Gender studies#Historic environmental analysis#Investigations for peace#Corruption All the content held within these areas helps that help the nation at a macro level, helping organize and elevate public debate on the matter, by providing technical and empirical elements on the matter. None of these would have been a reality, had it not been for innovation in their development. But where do faculty members go to advance their knowledge in I&E? As it turns out, the University also provides teachers –not just students– :</span></span></span></p><ol style="margin-top:0pt;with practical tools to develop their profiles as entrepreneurs and innovators. For example, ''Conécta–TE'' (an entrepreneurship epicenter dedicated to innovation in education and technology), offers the course “Conectamargin-TE en Vacaciones”bottom: an institutional initiative that seeks to provide the teachers of the University of Los Andes with spaces to design innovations that can be applied in their classes.
