However, outside of these courses, students in other disciplines do not have the same opportunity. By implementing an innovation-centered curriculum, students across campus would be encouraged/required to participate in an Innovation Project. Multidisciplinary teams would work with mentors (faculty and industry professionals) on developing an innovative idea that would be presented at the Shocker New Venture Competition, or other similar events on campus. Outside of this, the teams would be judged/graded by their mentors and would receive course credit for the work.</span></span>

Different departments will have various craft based innovation challenges that will encourage students to implement I&E in all aspects of their education. It will also show all I&E things WSU already has on campus.</span></span></span>
