Changes

George Fox University promotes many opportunities for students to discover innovation and entrepreneurship. This One way this is mainly done is through classes that encourage innovative thinking through projects. These are classes like Engineering Principles, which is two parts, each part consisting of an end of semester project with an open-ended way to solve a problem; and Microprocessors, where students are allowed to design a completely custom circuit board that does whatever they want as long as they meet a few requirements.  In the business department, George Fox has it's own offers a variety of entrepreneurship major program and attempts 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 restaurant and present financial projections. In a marketing class, students are currently working with an outside insurance agency to apply what they've learned in market research. In A manufacturing class offered at the school, students learn about manufacturing processes before visiting a variety of factories so that they may make educated observations and suggestions. All around the business and engineering departments George Fox University has the ability to promote innovation and entrepreneurship through their many communication channelsand deep industry connections.  Another Avenue for student entrepreneurship is through the newly built Maker's space. The impressive 16,000 sq. ft engineering playground boasts a full machine shop, surveying shop, woodworking equipment, an additive manufacturing and prototype lab, an extensive tool room, and several computer labs. It is here that every freshman engineer learns to build an engine which they will compete against their classmates for a final grade with.It is here students learn to fail. It is here where full-size arcade machines, and pendulum-based clocks are everday personal projects for students across many disciplines.
