Innovation and entrepreneurship are encouraged on the campus through courses, extracurricular organizations and spaces where students become empowered to enhance their ideas.</span></span>
<h4> <strong> I&E Courses </spanstrong></spanh4>
<h4span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif"> <strongspan style="font-size: small"> Interdisciplinary Projects </strong> </h4span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">Some of the courses offered are ‘Global Challenges’, in which students explore the design thinking methodology and apply it to a real problem in their local community. Two classes focus on business management and entrepreneurship: ‘Introduction to Business Development’, ‘Business Management’ and ‘Products and Services Design’. The last course on this chain deals more with innovative design and product development to propose realistic and accessible solutions, and it's called ‘Innovation and Product Development”.
<span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)"> Faculty Some courses don’t have a specific component of I&E because they are supported related to be entrepreneurial or commercialize their research by programs such as the Interdisciplinary Project core areas, but students are required to go through an innovative process to develop a solution. The course‘Biodesign’ is from the mandatory bioengineering curriculum. The projects are based on teachers proposing an idea that can be an Initiation, Scientific Research It is about the use of the design in order to create a solution to a specific problem following the steps of Design Thinking with biomedicine or Development biotechnology. Another course called ‘Information Systems’ gives students of Computer Science the opportunity to discover a Product / Servicespecific problem that requires technology to be solved. Students browse through dozens of projects and are free For that, it is necessary to choose empathize with the project objective public in which they are interestedorder to design the best software that fits with them.
<span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif"h4><span style="font-size: small"strong>Extracurricular Clubs <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)"/strong> </h4> Students from different majors spend a whole semester working as a team, putting their ingenuity into action and exploring these real-world problems that the teachers proposed to research, design, prototype and solve them with innovative solutions, as the name itself of the course, in an interdisciplinary way. These projects need to be developed following design thinking, user-centered design, and research methodologies. At the end of the semester, there is a contest for all the students enrolled in the course to demonstrate the creative process and the progress as teamwork that is the final result of their project. Finally, there is a contest and the most outstanding projects earn funds to be carried on and enter the market.
<h4span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif"> <span style="font-size: small"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)"> Another essential element we have at the university is the presence of change-maker students who empower other students to develop an innovative scientific mindset and spirit of curiosity needed to have a strong> Research Centres entrepreneurship ecosystem. For that reason, SpinOut UTEC (before Comunidad I&E UTEC) was born in 2016, whose main mission is to improve the I&E ecosystem in the region, starting with UTEC students. This idea was born from the initiative of the first 4 peruvian University Innovation Fellows. They have been creating different workshops as micro classes, meetups with co-founders of Peruvian startups, speed-dating for startup ideas and a program to train new trainers in design thinking. There is also a student organization called ProUnity, which is focused on spreading information about business resources such as scrum, design thinking, project masterclasses, soft skills workshops and PMO consulting. In addition, this year students from different careers created IISE, a catalyst </strong> </h4>chapter of the Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineering that seeks to promote research considering innovation.
<span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)"> There Some means to diffuse these initiatives and organizations are the following: ‘Revista Piso 11, where news is a high quantity of teachers at shared with students through visual and audiovisual media, UTEC that podcast, where students are also researchers from any of interviewed to know more about their experience in areas like I&E; the six research centres of social media managed by the university. These different centers enrich ; and Bienestar Estudiantil, which manages an e-mail massive list to share the students’ experience by encouraging them activities from students to explore their innovative and entrepreneurial potentialstudents. They are the following:
