Welcome to the Ira A Fulton Schools of
Engineering at Arizona State University.
Our college houses the undergraduate
and graduate degree programs for
engineering, computer science, and a
majority of the technology programs that
are offered at ASU. This presentation
will explore our Bachelors of Science in
technological entrepreneurship and
management. ASU has five campuses that
span the Phoenix metro area and the
Fulton Schools of Engineering are
located on two of those, the Tempe campus
and the Polytechnic campus. This specific
program is located at the Polytechnic
campus but all our campuses are open to
all students regardless of where their
program is located. We offer a free
inter-campus shuttle for our students, so
they can explore courses, student
organizations, activities, and resources
at any campus. The Fulton Schools of
Engineering is our overarching
engineering college for ASU. Underneath
that umbrella, we have six different
schools of Engineering the first five
you see are located on the Tempe campus
and then the last one you'll see is
located at the Poly campus in Mesa.
Within the Fulton Schools we offer 25
undergraduate degree programs and
46 graduate programs, as you can
see that's between both campuses and
online. Here at ASU our housing is set up
so that students live in their learning
communities and what that means is as an
engineering student you'll live with
other engineers. If your programs at the
Polytechnic campus then the majority
of our freshman live in century Hall. If
your program is at our Tempe campus then
those incoming freshman majority of
those live in Tooker house. We see a lot
of benefits to not only living on campus
but also living within that learning
community you're being able to build a
lot of relationships outside the
classroom and being able to really
create a strong support system. Students
living with other students that are in
their majors understand the course load,
the homework load, and really almost have
a built in study buddy.
Now if you are a part of Barrett, the
Honors College those students have their
own residential communities at both the
Tempe campus and at the Polytechnic
campus. The Bachelors of Science program
in technological entrepreneurship and
management advances the knowledge and
practice of entrepreneurship and
innovation to enhance students
understanding of business fundamentals.
The Fulton Schools of engineering have
partnered with the WP Carey School of
Business to offer a degree that is
jointly conferred by both colleges. The
degree program prepares students to
address social and corporate issues to
impact and change the world, create,
launch and improve technology-based
products, services and ventures and
identify and solve open-ended problems
using engineering and technology
approaches. Students in the program are
able to choose one of two focus areas:
innovation and operation management or
social entrepreneurship. Students in the
TEM program will select a primary focus
area either social entrepreneurship or
innovations and operations management.
They then have an option of selecting a
secondary focus area technological
entrepreneurship or technology
innovation. Here is a list of some career
examples that a student from our
technological entrepreneurship and
management program would pursue after
graduation. Hi everyone my name is
Esperanza Sanchez-Apodaca aka SB and I
am a TEM major. The reason why I chose
this major is it's because it's a unique
major, it's in two schools and I wanted
to try something unique and I wanted to
try something that was both in business
and in engineering and so this one is in
Ira A. School of Engineering and WP
Carey School of Business. And so some of
the programs that I participated in
throughout my school years to help me
with this major
were Changes a World where they helped
you with funding your idea and making
the world a better place. They also had
Changemaker grants which was about two
thousand dollars and participated that.
They also have two hundred dollar
pitches where you pitch your idea and
you can possibly receive two hundred
dollars for it.
I didn't participate in it but it is one
of the biggest competitions that we have
here on ASU, which is called Venture
Devils and what venture Devils does is
if you really want to pursue your
startup, your idea, anything you set up a
business model marketing strategy and
you set up your pitch to investors as if
you were if they were going to invest
into you and you could possibly win up
to I don't know how much money but in
the thousands like five thousand, ten
thousand it just depended on your
business and your idea. So when I got
into this, I did not know what to expect.
I just knew that I wanted to build a
business and it had to be something that
was technological and from there it was
more than that.
Throughout my student experience I've
participated in several, several startups
some being with the people in my major,
others I had to bring graphic design GIT
majors to help me, coders to help me and
that's what helped me with my goals. I
participated in probably so many
startups but the highlighted ones were
Socia which
an app based on finding local events
near you, or your or even creating a
event yourself as casual as playing
video games or going on a hike with
someone. And then there was another one
that I'm currently, it's already
established and it's now my own startup,
my own business,
it's poly vision marketing and I do a
lot of digital marketing and I help with
SEO and social media managing and
website design and so with all the
majors around me, with all the professors
around me, with all the clubs I was in,
and with all of the competitions with
the grants that definitely helped my
student experience to learn a little bit
more about what I need to do for a
business strategy: How should I talk to
an investor, how should I talk to kids,
consumers or customers about my idea. So
it definitely benefits you a lot. Some of
the questions that I was asked whenever
I was a sophomore or junior being a
mentor for the incoming TEM students is I
am, students will say I have no idea what
I want to do as a startup and I'm
worried and that should not be your
biggest concer,n because whenever you
come into the college a lot of the
students in TEM do not know what their
startup was going to be, what their topic
is, what they want to research, but as
soon as you come in here there are going
to be students around you that are going
to do different startups and you might
be, you might want to be involved with
that or you might have to do research on
your own, but your professors are gonna
be there for you and that's gonna be
that's basically gonna be your class
is
you're gonna have to build up a start-up
by yourself and research whatever you'd
like but they're gonna go in-depth with
what types of things that you'd have to
consider whenever you go into specific
industry. So I hope this really helps. It
definitely helped me and now I feel like
I'm gonna pursue something huge after
college and I hope the same for you. So
best of luck and thank you so much.
