== Faculty innovation and entrepreneurship ==
Innovation and Entrepreneurship has a lot of cross ties between the large distance that separates the Hayworth College of Business and the Engineering Campus known as Parkview Campus. This is sparated by a distance of about 5 miles with a bus ride for students without cars is around 20mins. The reason there are cross ties is there is a lot of the similar things happening at both campuses but neither are in communication with eachother at the student level.
Interms of Innovation the college has a great group of professors in the Engineering department that try to push the students to the envelope of coming up with new ideas, '''Endowed Chairs for Innovation''' Dr. Steven Butt(Chair of Department), Dr. Tycho Fredericks, Dr. Bob White, and Dr. Azim Houshyar, have a classes called Entreprenual Engineering I, II, and III where the students are to come up with an idea of a product and learn how to model or produce a product in a facility.
Entrepreneurship seems to follow the "B-School" where they have a great group of mentors and professors that help the students there expand Entreprenurs in their school. The push for Entreprneurship has come from the Dean of the "B-school" Kay Palan. She has put the team together with the Head of the Managment department of, '''Endowed Chairs for Entreprenurship''', Dr. Robert Landeros and his team of '''Entrepreneur in Residece''', John Mueller, Barcley Johnson, and Laurel Ofstein. The all come from amazing Entreprenurship backgrounds.
