Similarly, the school offers a minor in Technical Innovation, Design Thinking and the Entrepneruial Entrepreneurial Mindset, which is held within the School of Engineering with the purpose of being easier to fit in to an engineer's schedule than the entrepeneurship entrepreneurship minor.&nbsp;The school also offers opprotunities opportunities for project-based design thikning thinking experience through clubs such as Bronco Design, ASME, IEEE, Santa Clara Entrepenurship Organization CIE and more. The SCU School of Engineering offers many elective courses in design thinking and innovation as a part of the KEEN program, which looks to encourage innovation on campus. The KEEN program also sponsors quarterly project-based competitions with cash prizes to incentivize students to gain valuable experience. Santa Clara is currently in the process of implementing STEM 2020, a project which involves demolishing replacing all of the current engineering STEM buildings and replacing them with a massive STEM complex called the Sobroato Campus for Discovery and Innovation (SCDI). The new spaces are being built SCU is designing this complex with promoting the intention of having innovation in mindand entrepreneurship at the forefront.</span></span>

Finally, Santa Clara also hires real-world entrepenuers and industry leaders to teach some of their 1-unit elective offerings in the area of Innovation and Entrepeneurship through the engineering schoolclasses. &nbsp;</span></span>

<span id="docs-internal-guid-c45692d3-29dc-89dc-f72a-a43bcbf7598c"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">The Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship on campus facilitates the transfer of technology to students. &nbsp;It and runs various programs and brings to bring speakers on campus all in the name of entrepreneurship. &nbsp;The center provides a network of connections to various companies and technologies so the students can best flourish in with the entrepreneurial mindset. &nbsp;Technology The use of technology is also encouraged in the Maker Lab at Santa Clara University, where any student who goes through training can use the lab as much as they wish and create anything they want there. &nbsp;This very much encourages the creative mindset on campus. Furthermore, through the construction of the Sobrato Campus for Discovery and Innovaiton (The the new space for STEM at SCU), the school is investing in "Innovation Spaces" throughout the massive new buildings where students can collaborate on projects, as well as Maker Spaces similar to the Maker Lab to allow for hands on learning.</span></span>

<span id="docs-internal-guid-c45692d3-29dc-89dc-f72a-a43bcbf7598c"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">The university has many useful connections with companies in inside and out outside of the Silicon Valley. &nbsp;Handshake is a site website where students can see job and internship postings for companies looking for Santa Clara University students. &nbsp;There are many startups and entrepreneurial opportunities on the sight. &nbsp;As stated earlier, there are also very many useful connections with professors.&nbsp;Furthermoreavailable for students here, all of such as the quarterly quartily KEEN competitions that the school puts on are done with industry partners who the projects are based around.</span></span>

<span id="docs-internal-guid-c45692d3-29dc-89dc-f72a-a43bcbf7598c"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">Santa Clara very much encourages its students to aid in regional and local economic efforts. &nbsp;One very integral way is through the many jobs that Santa Clara University supplies the area with. &nbsp;Students are given very many opportunities in the area and often stay to work in the area. &nbsp;The school also runs collaborations with quite a few businesses in the area. &nbsp;An example of this is the collaboration with NASA and the SCU Robotics Systems Lab, which is filled where students run missions with graduates cutely named satellites "K</span></span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">etchup and undergraduates doing researchMustard".&nbsp;The school also encourages its students to be socially responsible in all things including promoting charitable programs in dorms, and even requiring an "engaged (experiential learning and social justice" ) core ciriculum curriculum requirement which gets students out volunteering in the community. &nbsp;All in all, Santa Clara very much cares and utilizes takes advantage of the surrounding surrouding area in a way that is beneficial wayto its students.</span></span>
