<span style="font---- size: 12px;">Yale University has long been a hub for scientific research and develpment. As entrepenuership and innovation have shifted become more accesible and important in our society, Yale has shifted its focus towards providing the tools necessary to make innovation possible. Over the last few decades, Yale's engineering department has aquired all the cutting edge technology needed to make the campus a powerhouse in engineering innovation. Providing space and resources to students to create whatever they can imagine is only one part of the equation for empowering innovation</span>
While the facilities are constantly improving and being furnished with the latest technology, the university is also focusing on hiring faculty members who have a passion for creating and will work with students to spread that excitement. The student faculty ratio in the engineering sciences is 3:1, which allows for a lot of interaction between students and thier mentors. There is almost always a place to go on campus where students can find a willing mentor.

<div>----</div>
Classes at the Center for Engineering Innovation and Design (CEID) take a fresh perspective on what classroom learning can be. At the introductory level, factual knowledge is supplemented with hands-on experimentation and short-term project work in small groups. At the advanced level, students work on long-term projects in teams while professors act more like coaches than sages. Some courses learn more towards engineering, with a focus on working hardware and prototype testing. Others are more innovation-based, with a focus on sound conceptualization and plans for commercialization. Both require a design process infused with creativity and interdisciplinary collaboration to be successful.

The following spreadsheet outlines specific resources that Yale has for furthering entrepenuership and innovation on campus broken down into the following categories: Make it a priority; So, you want to learn more; You want to apply your knowledge to a specific project; You have effectively engaged in I&E; You have fine-tuned your understanding of I&E and reframed your approach to your education and career. Each of the categories is necessary at different stages of a students path to entrepenuership. Yale has many resources, and this document's goal is to characterize Yale's landscape and identify our strengths and weaknesses.
