<span id="docs-internal-guid-a77508aa-3f11-388d-1196-9f1a9b7e0258"><span style="font-size: 13.3333px; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">Student innovation and entrepreneurship is encouraged in select fields, namely business and to a certain extent, in engineering. Outside of these fields, students don’t seem to think there is a need to be innovative and entrepreneurial. There are a huge variety of course offerings that focus on a strong entrepreneurial emphasis. In all of these courses, students create new product or business ideas, which they further develop over the course of the semester by talking to potential consumers. While this is promising for business students, engineering students tend to see themselves as innovators and often times have little interest in the business aspect. Engineering students are extremely primarily interested in innovation and recognize it as a skill required of them. Students All students have a basic awareness that there are a multitude of resources on campus for them, if they are interested in pursuing entrepreneurship. Faculty members and stakeholders are very supportive of implementing an innovation and entrepreneursip initiative on campus.</span></span>
