<span style="color:#000000;">The University of Tulsa is promoting student I&E in several ways. TU's Innovation and Entrepreneurship Certificate and the I&E Minor allow students of any major to learn about the practical, financial, and legal implications of starting a business, as well as get their feet wet ideating, prototyping, and brainstorming on team projects. Classes required for the Certificate and Minor include MGT2043 Entrepreneurship Startup, MGT 4053 Entrepreneurship, MKTG2013 Applied Creativity and Innovation, MGT 3053 Enterprise Creation and Development, BL 3113 Business Law for Entrepreneurs, and MGT 4163 Entrepreneurial Leadership and Strategy.</span>

<span style="color:#000000;">Currently at TU, there is a limited amount of non I&E classes that have a focus in I&E priciples. TU offers a course called Global Challenges. This class is limited to students that are accepted into the Global Scholars program. Within this class, students are given the opportunity to build a project based on an assigned "global challenge"(Migration, Resources, Technology, Population, etc.) The students are given time, support, and resources to focus on the problem in their local area.&nbsp;</span>

<span style="color:#000000;">There are also experimental courses offered but they are mostly in the College of Engineering. Senior Design Projects allow creative freedom within Computer Science, Computer Information Systems, and Mechanical Engineering.</span>

<span style="color:#000000;">Professor Claire Cornell is an advocate for student participation in the annual Love's Cup state and regional business plan competition, and teaches MGT 4143: Governors Cup Bus Plan to allow students to focus their time and earn credit for their participation. Dr. Tracy Suter is the David and Leslie Lawson Associate Professor of Entrepreneurship at TU, and teaches Enterprise Creation Development and Applied Innovation and Creativity, along with other business and marketing courses.</span>

<span style="color:#000000;">Dr. Charles Wood is a Fulbright Scholar and the faculty advisor for TU's NOVA Fellowship (www.novafellowship.org), which is a multidisicplinary student group whose motto is "Dream and do," and who organizes the annual campus TEDx event (www.tedxuniversityoftulsa.com), the Oklahoma Young Entrepreneur Awards (www.oyea.co), and other competitions, design challenges, and creative collaborations.</span>

<span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:small;">TU's Engineers Without Borders chapter (</span></span><span style="font-size:small;">[http://www.ewb.oneofakind.ws/ <span style="color:#000000;">http://www.ewb.oneofakind.ws/</span>]<span style="color:#000000;">) and Make A Difference Engineering (MADE at TU, </span>[https://engineering.utulsa.edu/academics/mechanical-engineering/make-a-difference-engineering/ <span style="color:#000000;">https://engineering.utulsa.edu/academics/mechanical-engineering/make-a-difference-engineering/</span>]<span style="color:#000000;">), and Sustainable Engineering for Needy and Emerging Areas (</span>[https://engineering.utulsa.edu/senea-waterheater-mongolia/ <span style="color:#000000;">https://engineering.utulsa.edu/senea-waterheater-mongolia/</span>]</span><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:small;">) gives engineering students opportunities to collaborate towards goals which improve lives in the community and abroad.</span></span>

<span style="color:#000000;">Students can learn about I&E opportunities such as the NOVA Fellowship and the I&E Minor and Certificate at a bi-annual Activities Fair, or through stories in the college newspaper, The Collegian. They can meet up to work on projects and think creatively at TU's "Creative Greenhouse," Studio Blue in Helmerich Hall, or fabricate and iterate prototypes in the Mechanical Engineering Student Projects Lab, the Electrical and Computer Engineering Robotics Lab, or off campus less than 1 mile away at Fab Lab Tulsa (www.fablabtulsa.org), a maker space open to paid membership for the entire community.</span>
