<p style="text-align: center;">[[File:Back to School ADS.png]]</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Founded in 1888 as a Land Grant institution New Mexico State University (NMSU) has a long history of entrepenurship and business development in the community. As the second largest university in the state NMSU has a student population of nearly 18,000 students. Through the university discovery mission started by Dr. Carruthers, the Colleges of Business and Engineering have begun an initiative to integrate mulitdisciplinary learning across campus. This collaboration has encouraged students to take ownership of their learning, and has led to the creation of several dedicated innovation and design centers: The Aggie Innovation Space, Studio G, and Arrowhead Center.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJStVYEjawo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJStVYEjawo]</p><p style="text-align: center;"></p>

== <u>'''<span style="font-size: large;">Strategy #1: Integration of Baja SAE into a marketable and multidisciplinary capstone</span>'''</u>
==== <samp><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Capstone projects are one of the most important parts of an engineer’s education. Recognizing that capstone can be used to learn, use and refine skills related to I&E, it must be made better. Baja SAE is a design challenge that is put on by Society of Automotive Engineers and to compete in this series take a great amount of engineering, marketing, and teamwork. Most importantly this design challenge is created out of the idea of each college being considered a startup firm that is to design and market their vehicle. This creates a great deal of I&E thinking. My hope is that integration of Baja SAE into a capstone project with raise the level of I&E in capstone while also providing students with a useful engineering project/start up.</span></span></samp> ====

Recognizing the global impact of education, it is essential for students to work on mulitdisciplinary projects throughout their student tenure. Through the Aggie Innovation Space, engineering students have begun collaborating and working in a more open and supportive environment where experiences have allowed for mentors to emerge. Over the past year, these mentors, from different majors, have worked together to guide a number of student projects through the design phase. Having seen the early success of this initiative, we are hoping to implement a university wide senior design course that will enable students from every college to work together to solve industry-based problems.
