Engage - Centre for Engaged Education through Entrepreneurship - SFU
Centre for Engaged Education through Entrepreneurship
Engage will develop education for students from all disciplines and professions who will constantly challenge accepted truths and innovate for the better, in both private and public sectors.
Engage is a consortium consisting of the NTNU School of Entrepreneurship, Nord University Business School, NTNU Experts in Teamwork, and Spark* NTNU. These excellent educational programs are each characterized by learning in which students develop projects in the real world and reflect upon their processes. Students in these programs commit to engaging in their learning, taking responsibility for their own learning, and sharing knowledge within a learning community of fellow students, previous students and faculty. Engage combines, develops and disseminates action-based learning, student-to-student learning, collaborative skills, rapid prototyping and student engagement. We provide train-the-trainer courses and activities for students in all disciplines in order to increase the number of students in higher education with entrepreneurial skills and mindset.

Create
The Centre for Engaged Education through Entrepreneurship, as its name suggests, is about engaging students to think, prototype and collaborate about bringing ideas to life. Whether for realizing a clever invention, creating a startup company or simply in accomplishing everyday tasks, Engage was founded on the principle of bestowing students with a creative and curious entrepreneurial mindset for their future careers.
Learn
At the very essence of innovative activities is the notion of trying new things in order to understand why they will not work. Learning by doing and learning from the mistakes of others is a core principle of Engage's philosophy and an integral part of every activity at the centre.
Document
"The only difference between science and screwing around, is writing things down" - Adam Savage
In order to maximize the probability of good outcomes in the future, Engage puts an emphasis on documenting what has already been done. This extraction, retention and transfer of knowledge across both disciplines and generations, is one of the most paramount and influential activities at the centre.
