The senior thesis course challenges students to think of design in a new fashion. The semester long course integrates other disciplines such as prototyping and business thinking. At the end of the semester students present to judges their business idea at the public Design Entrepreneurship Showcase. The following semester design students are challenged with social entrepreneurship issues in Milwaukee communities. Teams of students are required to work with community leaders and impact their community in a positive way. At the end of the course, a showcase is presented to the public. </span></span></span>

Lastly, beyond the extracurricular activities students can always take courses focused on entrepreneurship such as Product Realization, Innovation and Commercialization, Entrepreneurship as well as many other courses.In addition to these opportunities students now have access to the Prototyping Club at UWM, which was founded in the Spring of 2017. This club focuses on using design thinking and the innovation process to create projects as a club, or encourage individual inventions. The Prototyping Club helps to oversee the Makerspace in the Engineering Mathematics and Science Building at UWM, and many of their projects involve the space or using the tools in it.</span></span></span> <span style="font-size:small"><span><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap"></span></span></span>
