<span id="docs-internal-guid-8d3de9b2-397d-625e-794c-ae3190606c31"><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: Cambria; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">As Santa Clara University has is based in the heart of Silicon Valley, there is a huge amount thread of resources for all students who are interested in entrepreneurship and innovation, however, not that can be consistently seen through many of the different professors’ teachings on campus. From including group projects that encourage students are enrolled in these programs. &nbsp;There seems to be a rather large disconnect between the innovate within their major to including group discussions connecting topics to current events, SCU Professors tend to encourage students and to innovate within the programsclassroom. &nbsp;This is not for a lack Outside the classroom, many professors are either directors or fellows of tryingtheir own labs such as the Maker Lab, EPIC Lab, COVE, Frugal Innovation Hub, the Imaginarium and so on. &nbsp;Many organizations try very hard Faculty encourage students to organize find solutions to students, but there are not very good channels for connecting real world problems by using the skills that they learned in the classroom; this builds an innovative atmosphere and urges students to think about the impact of their desired programknowledge and skills. &nbsp;Sure, there are bulletin boards all around campusFurthermore, The Ciocca Center for Innovation and emails Entrepreneurship has a Faculty Advisory Board that go out, but most students ignore both of these methods. &nbsp;There needs to be provides faculty with a better way to reach a larger amount of guarantee that studentsare receiving the best resources and guidance from the Ciocca Center so that they are able to learn and craft the best innovative experiences around campus. &nbsp;</span></span>

At Santa Clara University, however, the individual schools are often siloed, lacking cross-collaborative activities and courses that would enrich the students’ experiences even further. Courses within the Engineering school are excellent for technical training, and Business school courses prepare their students for much of the business scenarios they may encounter, but at the core of entrepreneurship is a combination of technical advancements and business acumen that can only be achieved with collaboration. We intend to implement a hands-on, project-based course that will bring engineering and business students together in a collaborative environment. Studentswill learn crucial technical and business topics, and how their intersection can push innovation to the next level. Teams will be made up of students in various majors who can act as both leaders and learners, ultimately contributing to a product that will move through a version of the entire entrepreneurial process. Based on student interests and market research, this course will be developed (by our team and faculty champion) to meet the demands of the students and their future careers as collaborative contributors to innovative success.</span></span>

Due to get this fact, when students find themselves in touch with multiple professors internships and try and come up with some classes in full-time jobs, they are ill prepared for the entrepreneurship field more open-ended problem solving that would could for credit for exists in the workplace. In order to better prepare students. &nbsp;Currently there are entrepreneurship classes but they can only be counted for credit in the entrepreneurship minorfuture, or as an elective. &nbsp;If we were hope to rework labs to come up with a class that could implement a university core class it would count toward student graduationallow for more freedom in studentss solutions and creative problem solving. Additionally, and by better promoting more projects on campus, students would take itwill get the opportunity to collaborate with other engineers, which is a key component of real-world projects. &nbsp;The problem is that many combination of these two initiatives will ideally instill confidence in students have jam-packed schedules as it is, and so fitting entrepreneurship classes into that does not when they are asked to work. &nbsp;Howeveron collaborative, if we make the class part of open-ended projects during their requirementsinternships and full-time jobs, then which will lead to even more opportunities for the students can easily make time for in the classfuture. &nbsp;Another way As such, we intend to fit entrepreneurship classes into already full schedules would be work with faculty to offer a course that “double dips” or satisfies create innovative lab guidelines and objectives, as well as provide more than one requirement. &nbsp;This would encourage more students to enroll opportunities for team and would teach them valuable entrepreneurial skillsproject creation.</span></span>

They would then be judged on business model, engineering innovation, and design. &nbsp;The best group of students could win a grant, or another prize of some kind. &nbsp;This would promote design thinking and innovation here on campus, and be a great addition to the entrepreneurship curriculum. &nbsp;</span><org/span>Connor%20Tisch Connor Tisch]

<span id="docs-internal-guid-8d3de9b2-397d-625e-794c-ae3190606c31"><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: Cambria; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">My next idea involves entrepreneurship courses for all. &nbsp;These could be seminars or actual classes for each school with in Santa Clara University. &nbsp;This would be like Entrepreneurship for Engineers or for artists, or biology, but having courses that would be in more fields. &nbsp;Currently there is an issue of having almost all entrepreneurship courses within the business and very little in other disciplines, and this makes it hard for students who are not business majors to pursue entrepreneurship. &nbsp;This is an important issue because all students would benefit from having entrepreneurial skills, not just students in the business school. More classes would allow more students on campus to follow their passion for entrepreneurship. &nbsp;</span></span><div><br/></div>= Related Links = [[Santa Clara University|Santa Clara University]] '''Santa Clara University Student Priorities''' University Innovation Fellow:__NOTOC__
