Similarly, the school offers a minor in Technical Innovation, Design Thinking and the Entrepneruial Mindset, which is held within the School of Engineering with the purpose of being easier to fit in to an engineer's schedule than the entrepeneurship minor. &nbsp;The school also offers many opprotunities for project-based design thikning experience through clubs such as Santa Clara Innovation and Bronco Design, which teaches design methodologies where the curriculum falls shortASME, IEEE, and Santa Clara Entrepreneurs Entrepenurship Organizationand more. The SCU School of Engineering offers many elective courses in design thinking and innovation as a part of the KEEN program, which organizes entrepreneurial events such as an elevator pitch comptetitionlooks to encourage innovation on campus. There are The KEEN program also many events run through sponsors quarterly project-based competitions with cash prizes to incentivize students to gain valuable experience. Santa Clara is currently in the school such as process of implementing STEM 2020, a project which involves demolishing all of the KEEN Entrepreneurial Mindset Challenge current engineering buildings and replacing them with a massive STEM complex called the SCID DesignathonSobroato Campus for Discovery and Innovation (SCDI). The new spaces are being built with promoting innovation in mind.</span></span>

Santa Clara also hires real-world entrepenuers to teach some of their 1-unit elective offerings in the area of Innovation and Entrepeneurship through the engineering school. &nbsp;</span></span>

<span id="docs-internal-guid-c45692d3-29dc-89dc-f72a-a43bcbf7598c"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">The university has many useful connections with companies in and out of the Silicon Valley. &nbsp;The “Bronco Link” Handshake is a site where students can see job and internship postings for companies looking for Santa Clara University students. &nbsp;There are many startups and entrepreneurial opportunities on the sight. &nbsp;As stated earlier, there are also very many useful connections with teachersprofessors. &nbsp;Since so many teachers have worked in industry in is very easy to ask a teacher to set up an interviewFurthermore, and all teachers of the quarterly KEEN competitions that the school puts on are done with industry partners who the projects are willing to helpbased around. &nbsp;</span></span>

<span id="docs-internal-guid-c45692d3-29dc-89dc-f72a-a43bcbf7598c"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">Santa Clara very much encourages its students to aid in regional and local economic efforts. &nbsp;One very integral way is through the many jobs that Santa Clara University supplies the area with. &nbsp;Students are given very many opportunities in the area and often stay to work in the area. &nbsp;The school also runs collaborations with quite a few businesses in the area. &nbsp;An example of this is the collaboration with NASA and the engineering schoolSCU Robotics Systems Lab, in which many students can workis filled with graduates and undergraduates doing research. &nbsp;The school also encourages its students to be socially responsible in all things including promoting charitable programs in dorms, and even requiring a class that works with some kind of charityan "engaged learning and social justice" core ciriculum requirement which gets students out volunteering in the community. &nbsp;Santa Clara very much cares and utilizes the surrounding area in a beneficial way.</span></span>
