<span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">There is a wide range of I&E courses at SCU, but a lot of them are not well marketed to students that are not in the School of Engineering. A lot of the time these classes may seem intimidating or daunting to non-engineering majors. As a way to alleviate this feeling, on the course description page of a particular class, there should be a 1-2 minute video of the professor describing the requirements, topics, scope, and application of their class. This contrasts the current course description page which has</span></span></span><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color:#000000;">currently </span></span></span><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">has </span></span></span></span><span style="font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"></span></span></span><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">a</span></span></span><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"></span></span><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">brief description of the class, the prerequisites, and required books. A video describing the course will not only be a more engaging way to learn about a class but it will give students a better feel for the professor's personality and the importance of the class. It will also help students get a better idea of if they want to take that class.</span></span></span>
<span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The quality of many elective classes at SCU are dependent on the content and the professor. The main resources students currently have access to for learning about a class and professor are the student submitted course evaluations or the generally biased reviews from websites like</span></span><span style="font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Ratemyprofessors</span></span></span><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">. Students of all majors could formulate a better understanding of an elective course with a video description coming directly from the professor.</span></span></span>

<span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-4ea59471-ec18-88e3-205f-1cfb80e7531b"><span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></span>Our campus lacks opportunities for students to explore the career path of Innovation and Entrepreneurship. This is because often, students get placed in boxes based on their major or they get sucked into the idea that they need to work at a “name brand” company in order to be happy. Generally, career fairs are very overwhelming with people around you all trying to land the same job. This environment naturally causes people to gravitate towards big companies because everyone thinks that having a job at a big company means success. However, success should be something that is defined internally and measured by one’s self instead of listening to other people’s judgments about what is and isn’t allowed to make you happy. This is an attempt to pair students with jobs they could actually be happy at and explore the possibilities that are out there. </span></span></span> == <span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"></span></span></span>Spring 2018 Article - Nameless Career Fair == [[File:UIF Article1.png]] == <br/> ==</div> [[File:UIF Article2.png]]
