While student run clubs and extra-curricular are all great ways to drive passion for innovation, but the only way to guarantee that all students gain this valuable mindset is to enforce it in the classroom. </span><span style="font-size: small;">For this reason, we are proponents of changing/adding classes to the university's curriculum that pull in students from all majors and encourage a collaborative culture within those students. We want to foster an environment in which students are excited about working with students from other majors because we feel that this not only creates a more successful product, but prepares them for the real world in which they will be forced to work with others who may not share their same perspective. </span> == <span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:smaller;">Tactic #1: Revamp and Expand the Engineering Innovations Course</span></span><br/> == <span style="font-size: small;">The school of engineering currently offers an introductory course for all engineering students that focuses on engineering innovation. This course has the potential to be expanded to students across the entire university as an intro to I&E course. With the help of the UIF cohort, the course can be redesigned to include entrepreneur content and make a lasting impression on students which they can carry through their time in college. </span> == <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: smaller;">Tactic #2: Instill I&E Concepts in Existing Courses</span></span> == While it is tempting to create new courses that teach I&E principles, there is a lot of potential for adding I&E content to existing courses. <span style="font-size: small;">The addition of the planned makerspace to the University of Dayton I&E ecosystem provides educators with an opportunity to incorporate an innovative mindset in the courses they teach. This can be accomplished through creating homework or group projects that require students to not only use the makerspace, but collaborate with their group members to reach innovative solutions to course assignments.</span>
