= '''Promoting student George Fox University promotes many opportunities for students to discover innovation and entrepreneurship'''<br/> =. One way this is done is through classes that encourage innovative thinking through projects. These classes include Engineering Principles, a two part class involving semester long team or individual projects designed to expand students open-ended problem solving skills and give them the technical knowledge and resources to design, model, and produce the product.&nbsp; Another engineering class is microprocessors, where students design a completely custom circuit board that does anything they want within the scope of the class. &nbsp;In the business department, George Fox offers a variety of entrepreneurship and start-up focused classes which attempt to be as close to real business settings as possible. In a managerial accounting class students have to create their own hypothetical campground business and present financial projections.

George Fox University promotes many opportunites Another avenue for students to discover innovation and student entrepreneurship. This is mainly done through classes that encourage innovative thinking through projectsthe newly built Maker's space. These are classes like Engineering PrinciplesThe impressive 16, which is two parts000 sq. ft engineering playground boasts a full machine shop, surveying shop, woodworking equipment, an additive manufacturing and prototype lab, each part consisting of a end of semester project with an open ended way extensive tool room, and several computer labs. It is here that every freshman engineer learns to solve build a problem; Microprocessorswobbler engine and compete their engine against the other engineering freshmen in the infamous Wobble Off. Here students have the opportunity to work on their own projects, where students are allowed from arcade machines to popsicle stick bridges to design a completely custom circuit board that does whatever anything they want as long as they meet a few requirements; and Cost Accounting, where _________can think of. A new modification since 2020 allows all majors at George Fox University also has to take the abilty access quiz to easily promote any the MakerHub, and utilize the different facilities within. This creates room for innovation and entrepreneur miindedness through their many communication channels such as to be bridged across disciplines beyond engineering, if executed in a proper manner that teaches all users of the "Daily Bruin" or space the "George Fox Journal"full capabilities of being in there.&nbsp;&nbsp;

All The faculty are required to do researchhave diverse industrial backgrounds and passion projects, which leads and they are beginning to innovations in all their respective fields, but all share those with the research simply goes into accademic journalsstudents. Because of this lack of entrepreneural thought among For instance, a few years ago several faculty members with experience in the faculty, developing world have invited students are less aware about how they can learn about innovative and entreprenueral oportunitiesto join them in Peru for a summer service project.

Employees of these companies serve on advisory boards and attend regular career fairs. Many are also George Fox alums. Classes in manufacturing and start-up style business make trips to see companies practicing the principles they are learning about in class. The engineering program also has close relations with local industry through Senior Design projects where , a capstone class in which senior engineers design students develop a product to be used in conjunction with an industrypartner.

= '''Engaging with regional and local economic development efforts''' =

Despite our close ties with local industries, George Fox University makes a minimal effort to benefit the community economically. At the beginning of the year, students receive a 'coupon card' with various discounts that students can use at local shops and restaurants, but the focus of this is to plug students into the community, and not necessarily to benefit the local economic development efforts.Some outside contracting is done through the maker's space,&nbsp;print shop, ceramics labs, sporting events, or other resources on campus but very little advertising goes into these functions and they&nbsp;are not widely encouraged.
