'''Overall Ecosystem '''<br/>The University of Portland is developing an innovation ecosystem that includes multi-disciplinary programs and experiential learning spaces such as the Pilot Space, the ThinkTank Innovation Lab, and the Digital Lab. These opportunities promote collaborative experimentation, prepare graduates for 21st century careers, engage students in identifying innovative solutions to social and community problems, and contribute to shaping Oregon’s growing innovation culture.

'''<span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">Maker Space</span>'''<br/>The makerspace, known as the “Pilot Space,” is a collaborative innovation space designed for students to independently design, prototype, and manufacture their creations. While the makerspace is critical to students in engineering, math, science, and technology (STEM), the new lab, which will open initially this fall to engineering students, will subsequently be available to students in all disciplines at the University. There they will have access to 3D printers, mini mills, a laser cutter, soldering stations, prototyping materials such as arduinos and raspberry PI kits, and other equipment necessary to create models of their solutions.
'''Technology Entrepneurship Certificate'''<br/><span idstyle="docsfont-internalfamily: Arial; vertical-guidalign: baseline; white-347424c5space: pre-318c-82a0-f79f-a3ac8aa0072bwrap;">The </span><span style="font-family: Arial; text-decoration-line: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Day of Making.Technology Entrepreneurship Certificate </span><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The University combines theory and practice in an environment where academics are balanced with real world experience.

<span style="font-size:larger;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Qualities that are becoming more important to the Deans in hiring staff members is a innovative willingness and nature. While innovation is encouraged all over campus, there is not a strong connection between students and professors for implementation. The process of innovation is slowly becoming more prevelant at the University of Portland. Steering committee comprised of faculty from all 5 schools in the University created to develop and lead innovation programs. Professors are becoming more aware of opportunities to become innovative themselves as well as to get students more involved. </span></span>
