Changes

There are many opportunities for enhancing the Innovation and Entrepreneuership ecosystem at Berkeley. Following &nbsp;<div class="center" style="width: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto">{{#Widget:Youtube|id=XGQRwUUwdio|width=800p|height=400p}} (If video is not playing, please click [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKGm_tyFb_o here])</div>Below are four such opportunities:

A lot of Many non-design students here at from UC Berkeley don't ever do not have the opportunity to learn the design process or gain design thinking skills. This process and these skills are very important in real life and give students an advantage in jobs and in their future. Students from most majors and students who don't seek out this knowledge are at a disadvantage. This goal would give strategy aims to provide students out of design these from multidisciplinary backgrounds design thinking skills by enrollment in our organization - through The Invention Corpsof Berkeley. Students from multiple different majors and fields that normally wouldn't get the design experience would be taught so and furthermore use it in projects paired with professors and PhD students here at Berkeley.

One of the biggest resource resources on campus to connect that connects students and professors is the Undergraduate Research Apprentice Program (URAP), but most students do not optimize this resource. Students want to get exposed to application-based opportunities, and one way to do that is to collaborate with professors & graduate studentsthrough the Invention Corps of Berkeley.&nbsp;

Students coming into college often have a hard time anticipating choosing their major. As 17-18 year olds, it can be extremely stressful and difficult to choose the needs path they want to take that will affect their careers and roles they play success in their specific majorssuch a huge way. Often times, students maybe even regret don’t have a well-rounded view of the majors on campus; for example, students who are an intended biology major or path they chose in college due may never have been exposed to just unknown factors any sort of engineering class that can be avoided with more knowledgemay impact their decision on their major. This goal focuses on delivering Therefore, it is important that students knowledge about are able to experience the possible fields they can go different majors on campus before making a decision. To address this problem, we have designed a strategy that designs modular-segmented class to targeted specifically guide freshmen to freshmanmultiple disciplines. This optional class course would allow students to get a little glimpse into most outline the course work of various majors here on campus, providing them information on workloadprerequisites, requirementspossible careers that utilize each major and corresponding salaries, difficultyand what the day-to-day life would be in each of those careers (i.e. hours, opportunitiesamount of work, resourcesfreedom for a personal life, and most importantly jobsetc. This class will hopefully reduce ) In designing such a course, students are able to be exposed to a few of the number of students who switch their most popular majors sophomore on campus and junior year or even prevent students regretting can therefore make a more well-informed decision on their major choicefuture path.&nbsp;

This class would have numerous professors come in every week strategy focuses on delivering students the knowledge of various fields and teach the same curriculum each modulemajors. Students then would have The goal of this course is to reduce the option number of going to whichever professor / major they are interested in students who switch their majors during sophomore and stay in that all week doing all the material junior year, and maybe even homework. Then the next week they would choose another professor / major module to attend to gain more knowledge about all Cal has provide a holistic approach to offerchoosing majors.&nbsp;
