Engineering success in an innovative world in a 2 week long summer studio, designed to show students the benefits of innovation and entrepreneurship and empower them to explore it co curricularly. This will be achieved by a combination of interesting lectures and workshops, introducing students to the I&E facilities and services on campus (such as startups and protospace), and working on an industry partnered project. Many students who I have spoken to have said that they don't think I&E is relevant to engineering and I hope that the industry project could help to break this barrier. Other students I have spoken to have talked about how they have designed cool projects and then not known what to do with them once the semester ended, so I hope that by introducing people like startups we can empower students to keep the momentum going.
== Strategy 4 - (I&E)^2 - Innovation and Entrepreneurship X The Industry Engagement Springboard ==
<span style="color:#000000;"> The (I&E)^2 Industry Springboard strategic priority is aimed at providing as much value as possible to students, with already existing resources and spaces. The social climate at the time of writing is currently under isolation to avoid the spreading of COVID-19, proving the educational enrichment of Innovation and Entrepreneurship difficult to engage with for students. Simultaneously, universities are attempting to cope with the difficulties of a pandemic.
After conducting research and student engagement, it was found that the initial assumptions of Innovation and Entrepreneurship being unknown to students was incorrect. It was often the case that whilst students didn’t know the exact definition of I&E, its lack of perceived value did not draw many students to engage further.
