<p>Austin Thomas: </p> <hr /> <div>= Spring 2017 Priorities =<br /> <br /> == Strategy #1: Communication ==<br /> <br /> Develop stronger communication about I&E<br /> <br /> == Strategy #2: Awareness ==<br /> <br /> Make more students/populations aware of the importance/goals of I&E<br /> <br /> == Strategy #3: Implementation ==<br /> <br /> Host events and activities that emphasize these goals<br /> <br /> == Strategy #4: Networking ==<br /> <br /> Connect students across campus as well as faculty, administration, and outside resources<br /> <div><br/></div><br /> <br /> = Spring 2016 Priorities =<br /> <br /> == Strategy #1: Implementation<br/> ==<br /> <br /> Innovation & Entrepreneurship Living Learning Community (IE-LLC)<br /> <br /> The Living Learning Communities are the epitome of experiential education and can serve as a catalyst for I&E implementation efforts. &nbsp;The Innovation & Entrepreneurship LLC (IE-LLC) will help students in all majors and disciplines who want to extend collaboration outside of the classroom and into a residential setting. Specifically, the IE-LLC will develop and strengthen innovation and entrepreneurship skills throughout the course of the academic year for students. Additionally, it will provide incentive and enhancement for upperclassmen residential life. The University of New Haven serves as a leader in experiential education. &nbsp;<br /> <br /> Entrepreneurial Engineering Living Learning Community<br /> <br /> Efforts are continuing to develop and maintain the Entrepreneurial Engineering Living Learning Community. The E<sup>2</sup>-LLC offers a variety of enriching activities, including monthly discussion dinners, 24 Hour Imagination Quests, and weekly meetings with the E<sup>2</sup>-LLC student coordinator. The E<sup>2</sup>-LLC provides its’ members the opportunity to pursue feasible projects outside of their academic work. The E<sup>2</sup>-<sup>&nbsp;</sup>LLC also provides its members the chance to participate in a threshold level of activities over their four years in order to earn a certificate. The Entrepreneurial Thinkers Certificate will give students an edge in today's competitive job marketplace. E<sup>2</sup>-<sup>&nbsp;</sup>LLC does not require separate housing or fees, but it does require membership in the Engineering LLC. Think of it as a supplement to the Engineering LLC. University of New Haven is proudly a member of KEEN, a collaboration of universities that strive to instill an entrepreneurial mindset in undergraduate engineering and technology students. KEEN’s mission is to graduate engineers with an entrepreneurial mindset so they can create personal, economic, and societal value through a lifetime of meaningful work. Graduates of KEEN schools will be prepared to identify new technology-based business opportunities in their engineering disciplines. This network of colleges creates synergy between member institutions that takes advantage of the network’s collective faculty in a manner that transcends an individual university’s status. &nbsp;<br /> <br /> EMpwr<br /> <br /> EMpwr (Entrepreneurial Mindset Power) is a new recognized student organization that promotes I&E and involves all majors. The five pillars of EMpwr are:<br /> <br /> #Leadership: Identify and pursue opportunities to develop the mindset, skillset, and world view related to being entrepreneurial.&nbsp;<br /> #Service: Address the local needs and apply the mindset to serve the community.&nbsp;<br /> #Outreach: Influence the future leaders, inspire innovators, and participate in enterprise.&nbsp;<br /> #Mentorship: Create meaningful peer to peer and professional relationships critical for networking and development of the individual mindset.&nbsp;<br /> #Competition: Innovate ideas and create novel solutions to real-world problems… Front-end of design with emphasis on the mindset.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == Strategy #2: Awareness ==<br /> <br /> Innovation & Entrepreneurship Newsletter<br /> <br /> Currently, there is no newsletter dedicated to I&E related news. There should be a newsletter, by print, email, or both, that places focus on the developing the entrepreneurial mindset and reporting recent innovations. For example, most individuals are aware about the popular product, the Sperry Boat Shoe. However, the majority are unaware of its origins. Inventor and sailor Paul Sperry slipped on a boat and fell overboard. The traumatic experience inspired him to develop a non-slip shoe. He observed his cocker spaniel's superior traction capabilties as it ran down an icy hill without slipping thanks to the grooves within its paws. The patented technology has evolved into a multi-billion dollar product and navy item still used today. Similar stories should be shared to inspire future innovators and to promote thinking above and beyond.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> Entrepreneurship Hour<br /> <br /> The University of New Haven has its own radio station that broadcasts various musics and shows. Often, it encourages colleges and clubs to advertise events or facilitate hour-long discussions. There should be an hour dedicated to a conversation that promotes I&E and makes students and faculty aware of I&E events on campus. A possible candidate to host the show could be the newly initiated club EMpwr (Entrepreneurial Mindset Power).<br /> <br /> == Strategy #3: Promotion ==<br /> <br /> Discussion Dinners &nbsp<br /> <br /> The E<sup>2</sup>-LLC has piloted a series of discussion dinners that have proven successful in the past year and a half. Starting at 6:30 PM, students of all majors (mostly engineering) gather for a meal, socialize, and then participate in an interactive discussion centered around innovation and entrepreneurship. Focus is placed on curiosity, creating value, and making connections. EMpwr has been cosponsoring discussion dinners. There are hopes to expand the discussion dinners to include more participants and encourage more majors to attend.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> 24 Hour Imagination Quest<br /> <br /> The 24 Hour IQ is inspired by Villanova University and will be held for the second time this upcoming spring. In the span of 24 (non-consecutive!) hours, randomized groups of students must get inspired, find opportunities, and create a business proposition. The weekend-long competition yields cash prizes to the top three winners and provides excellent first-hand innovation and entrepreneurship experiences.<br /> <br /> K-SIDE<br /> <br /> The KEEN Summer Interdisciplinary Design Experience (K-SIDE) will be a week and a half long intensive program offered during May at the University of New Haven. Inspired by Bucknell University, interdisciplinary teams work for no credit or pay to imagine, prototype and pitch a device that will contribute to the solution of a social problem. More details will come as the event nears.<br /> <br /> == Strategy #4: Resources ==<br /> <br /> Mentorship<br /> <br /> Currently, there are many opportunities at the University of New Haven available to students. However, not all may be aware of events and programs that are offered. Additionally, some students may need guidance. The E<sup>2</sup>-LLC hires a student peer mentor and coordinator to faciliate events and connect students with opportunities. The University should collectively work towards implementing more peer mentors, whether staff or student mentors, to motivate and inform students of I&E opportunities and events.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> == Strategy #5: Curriculum ==<br /> <br /> KEEN<br /> <br /> The Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN) has been providing grant money to the University of New Haven to implement programs that promote I&E within the engineering curriculum. Initiatives include Engineering Applied Science (EASC) classes such as Intro to Engineering (1107 P), Project Management (2232), and Global Solutions to Sustainability (3300). KEEN modules implemented into classes place a focus on I&E and make useful connections. The engineering department should continue its work with KEEN, and other departments should use the KEEN iniatives as models for similar I&E implementation.<br /> <br /> Service Learning<br /> <br /> Service Learning is a component of specific courses that look to go beyond the classroom. Experiential education states that the best way to learn is by doing, therefore more courses should implement service learning initiatives to encourage more real-world encounters. An example is Civil Engineering Systems (CIVL 2218) where the class (Spring 2015) was required to survey the conditions of the City of West Haven's sidewalks and create a State of Repair report to present in front of City Hall.<br /> <br /> <br/>Written by&nbsp;[[Daniel delgado|Daniel Delgado]]<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> = Spring 2015 Student Priorities =<br /> <br /> The University of New Haven is a very up and coming school in innovation and entrepreneurship.&nbsp; The curriculum is unique and introduces experiential learning starting freshman year. The university is currently developing a minor in Entrepreneurship through the business school and the engineering school introduces innovation and entrepreneurial thinking into its courses through its KEEN module ([http://www.newhaven.edu/engineering/kern-entrepreneurial-engineering-network/774399/keen-online-modules/ http://www.newhaven.edu/engineering/kern-entrepreneurial-engineering-network/774399/keen-online-modules/])<br /> <br /> Currently, University of New Haven does add some I&E into its curriculum but wants to see it applied outside of the classroom. The main goal for University of New Haven is to have interested students creating and developing products and businesses on campus by applying the skills that they have learned in class.<br /> <br /> In order to have a stronger innovative and entrepreneurial ecosystem on campus, University of New Haven plans to generate awareness of the importance and fundamental elements of I&E to students, to teach students how to apply knowledge of I&E to a specific challenge or problem, and to create more opportunities on campus that will give students a chance to exercise their creative thinking and to get some “out of the classroom” experience.<br /> <br /> == Main Priorities ==<br /> <br /> 1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Inspire students to create project teams<br /> <br /> 2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Spread awareness of Innovation and Entrepreneurship on campus<br /> <br /> 3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Create a Maker Space on campus<br /> <br /> 4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Add more Innovation and entrepreneurship into Curriculum<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == Strategy #1: Inspire Students to Create Project Teams ==<br /> <br /> Description: Several students want to get involved in big projects but there aren’t many going on, on campus. The University has the ASME Super Mileage Vehicle, and the ASCE Concrete canoe. Both of these projects are senior design projects and have very limited creative freedom. There should be more projects that undergraduates can participate in and have more freedom.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Milestones<br /> <br /> ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Discuss with faculty about possible funding sources<br /> <br /> ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Get in touch with sources that were given by faculty and on landscape canvas<br /> <br /> ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Find a Faculty member who can be in charge and help spread the word.<br /> <br /> ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Find on campus advertising sources and use them to spread the word.<br /> <br /> ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Talk to people around campus and see if they are interested.<br /> <br /> ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Meet with students and faculty to discuss if it will be a club or program<br /> <br /> ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Faculty and students can pitch/come up with ideas &nbsp;and discuss the marketability<br /> <br /> ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Discuss Possible project ideas for now and future. Possibly reach out to IP factory and set up a program with them. [http://www.theipfactory.org/ http://www.theipfactory.org/]<br /> <br /> ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If IP factory works with students set up a program with them and have an entrepreneur watch over project.<br /> <br /> ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Find one faculty member or hire an entrepreneur to be in charge of projects.<br /> <br /> == Strategy #2: Increase Awareness of Innovation and entrepreneurship on campus ==<br /> <br /> Description: Students should be more informed about innovation and entrepreneurship on campus because it is something that anyone can get involved in. Being innovative and having an entrepreneurial mindset are both good traits for several majors to have, and not only business and engineering.<br /> <br /> Tactic #1: 3-day Startup<br /> <br /> Description: This is a three day program similar to Startup weekend. Students pitch ideas and come up with a marketable business model and a company in an intensive 3 day event.

<p>Austin Thomas: </p> <hr /> <div>= Spring 2017 Priorities =<br /> <br /> == Strategy #1:&nbsp; ==<br /> <br /> == Strategy #2: ==<br /> <br /> == Strategy #3: ==<br /> <br /> == Strategy #4:&nbsp; ==<br /> <br /> == Strategy #5:&nbsp; ==<br /> <div><br/></div><br /> = Spring 2016 Priorities =<br /> <br /> == Strategy #1: Implementation<br/> ==<br /> <br /> Innovation & Entrepreneurship Living Learning Community (IE-LLC)<br /> <br /> The Living Learning Communities are the epitome of experiential education and can serve as a catalyst for I&E implementation efforts. &nbsp;The Innovation & Entrepreneurship LLC (IE-LLC) will help students in all majors and disciplines who want to extend collaboration outside of the classroom and into a residential setting. Specifically, the IE-LLC will develop and strengthen innovation and entrepreneurship skills throughout the course of the academic year for students. Additionally, it will provide incentive and enhancement for upperclassmen residential life. The University of New Haven serves as a leader in experiential education. &nbsp;<br /> <br /> Entrepreneurial Engineering Living Learning Community<br /> <br /> Efforts are continuing to develop and maintain the Entrepreneurial Engineering Living Learning Community. The E<sup>2</sup>-LLC offers a variety of enriching activities, including monthly discussion dinners, 24 Hour Imagination Quests, and weekly meetings with the E<sup>2</sup>-LLC student coordinator. The E<sup>2</sup>-LLC provides its’ members the opportunity to pursue feasible projects outside of their academic work. The E<sup>2</sup>-<sup>&nbsp;</sup>LLC also provides its members the chance to participate in a threshold level of activities over their four years in order to earn a certificate. The Entrepreneurial Thinkers Certificate will give students an edge in today's competitive job marketplace. E<sup>2</sup>-<sup>&nbsp;</sup>LLC does not require separate housing or fees, but it does require membership in the Engineering LLC. Think of it as a supplement to the Engineering LLC. University of New Haven is proudly a member of KEEN, a collaboration of universities that strive to instill an entrepreneurial mindset in undergraduate engineering and technology students. KEEN’s mission is to graduate engineers with an entrepreneurial mindset so they can create personal, economic, and societal value through a lifetime of meaningful work. Graduates of KEEN schools will be prepared to identify new technology-based business opportunities in their engineering disciplines. This network of colleges creates synergy between member institutions that takes advantage of the network’s collective faculty in a manner that transcends an individual university’s status. &nbsp;<br /> <br /> EMpwr<br /> <br /> EMpwr (Entrepreneurial Mindset Power) is a new recognized student organization that promotes I&E and involves all majors. The five pillars of EMpwr are:<br /> <br /> #Leadership: Identify and pursue opportunities to develop the mindset, skillset, and world view related to being entrepreneurial.&nbsp;<br /> #Service: Address the local needs and apply the mindset to serve the community.&nbsp;<br /> #Outreach: Influence the future leaders, inspire innovators, and participate in enterprise.&nbsp;<br /> #Mentorship: Create meaningful peer to peer and professional relationships critical for networking and development of the individual mindset.&nbsp;<br /> #Competition: Innovate ideas and create novel solutions to real-world problems… Front-end of design with emphasis on the mindset.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == Strategy #2: Awareness ==<br /> <br /> Innovation & Entrepreneurship Newsletter<br /> <br /> Currently, there is no newsletter dedicated to I&E related news. There should be a newsletter, by print, email, or both, that places focus on the developing the entrepreneurial mindset and reporting recent innovations. For example, most individuals are aware about the popular product, the Sperry Boat Shoe. However, the majority are unaware of its origins. Inventor and sailor Paul Sperry slipped on a boat and fell overboard. The traumatic experience inspired him to develop a non-slip shoe. He observed his cocker spaniel's superior traction capabilties as it ran down an icy hill without slipping thanks to the grooves within its paws. The patented technology has evolved into a multi-billion dollar product and navy item still used today. Similar stories should be shared to inspire future innovators and to promote thinking above and beyond.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> Entrepreneurship Hour<br /> <br /> The University of New Haven has its own radio station that broadcasts various musics and shows. Often, it encourages colleges and clubs to advertise events or facilitate hour-long discussions. There should be an hour dedicated to a conversation that promotes I&E and makes students and faculty aware of I&E events on campus. A possible candidate to host the show could be the newly initiated club EMpwr (Entrepreneurial Mindset Power).<br /> <br /> == Strategy #3: Promotion ==<br /> <br /> Discussion Dinners &nbsp<br /> <br /> The E<sup>2</sup>-LLC has piloted a series of discussion dinners that have proven successful in the past year and a half. Starting at 6:30 PM, students of all majors (mostly engineering) gather for a meal, socialize, and then participate in an interactive discussion centered around innovation and entrepreneurship. Focus is placed on curiosity, creating value, and making connections. EMpwr has been cosponsoring discussion dinners. There are hopes to expand the discussion dinners to include more participants and encourage more majors to attend.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> 24 Hour Imagination Quest<br /> <br /> The 24 Hour IQ is inspired by Villanova University and will be held for the second time this upcoming spring. In the span of 24 (non-consecutive!) hours, randomized groups of students must get inspired, find opportunities, and create a business proposition. The weekend-long competition yields cash prizes to the top three winners and provides excellent first-hand innovation and entrepreneurship experiences.<br /> <br /> K-SIDE<br /> <br /> The KEEN Summer Interdisciplinary Design Experience (K-SIDE) will be a week and a half long intensive program offered during May at the University of New Haven. Inspired by Bucknell University, interdisciplinary teams work for no credit or pay to imagine, prototype and pitch a device that will contribute to the solution of a social problem. More details will come as the event nears.<br /> <br /> == Strategy #4: Resources ==<br /> <br /> Mentorship<br /> <br /> Currently, there are many opportunities at the University of New Haven available to students. However, not all may be aware of events and programs that are offered. Additionally, some students may need guidance. The E<sup>2</sup>-LLC hires a student peer mentor and coordinator to faciliate events and connect students with opportunities. The University should collectively work towards implementing more peer mentors, whether staff or student mentors, to motivate and inform students of I&E opportunities and events.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> == Strategy #5: Curriculum ==<br /> <br /> KEEN<br /> <br /> The Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN) has been providing grant money to the University of New Haven to implement programs that promote I&E within the engineering curriculum. Initiatives include Engineering Applied Science (EASC) classes such as Intro to Engineering (1107 P), Project Management (2232), and Global Solutions to Sustainability (3300). KEEN modules implemented into classes place a focus on I&E and make useful connections. The engineering department should continue its work with KEEN, and other departments should use the KEEN iniatives as models for similar I&E implementation.<br /> <br /> Service Learning<br /> <br /> Service Learning is a component of specific courses that look to go beyond the classroom. Experiential education states that the best way to learn is by doing, therefore more courses should implement service learning initiatives to encourage more real-world encounters. An example is Civil Engineering Systems (CIVL 2218) where the class (Spring 2015) was required to survey the conditions of the City of West Haven's sidewalks and create a State of Repair report to present in front of City Hall.<br /> <br /> <br/>Written by&nbsp;[[Daniel delgado|Daniel Delgado]]<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> = Spring 2015 Student Priorities =<br /> <br /> The University of New Haven is a very up and coming school in innovation and entrepreneurship.&nbsp; The curriculum is unique and introduces experiential learning starting freshman year. The university is currently developing a minor in Entrepreneurship through the business school and the engineering school introduces innovation and entrepreneurial thinking into its courses through its KEEN module ([http://www.newhaven.edu/engineering/kern-entrepreneurial-engineering-network/774399/keen-online-modules/ http://www.newhaven.edu/engineering/kern-entrepreneurial-engineering-network/774399/keen-online-modules/])<br /> <br /> Currently, University of New Haven does add some I&E into its curriculum but wants to see it applied outside of the classroom. The main goal for University of New Haven is to have interested students creating and developing products and businesses on campus by applying the skills that they have learned in class.<br /> <br /> In order to have a stronger innovative and entrepreneurial ecosystem on campus, University of New Haven plans to generate awareness of the importance and fundamental elements of I&E to students, to teach students how to apply knowledge of I&E to a specific challenge or problem, and to create more opportunities on campus that will give students a chance to exercise their creative thinking and to get some “out of the classroom” experience.<br /> <br /> == Main Priorities ==<br /> <br /> 1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Inspire students to create project teams<br /> <br /> 2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Spread awareness of Innovation and Entrepreneurship on campus<br /> <br /> 3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Create a Maker Space on campus<br /> <br /> 4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Add more Innovation and entrepreneurship into Curriculum<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == Strategy #1: Inspire Students to Create Project Teams ==<br /> <br /> Description: Several students want to get involved in big projects but there aren’t many going on, on campus. The University has the ASME Super Mileage Vehicle, and the ASCE Concrete canoe. Both of these projects are senior design projects and have very limited creative freedom. There should be more projects that undergraduates can participate in and have more freedom.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Milestones<br /> <br /> ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Discuss with faculty about possible funding sources<br /> <br /> ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Get in touch with sources that were given by faculty and on landscape canvas<br /> <br /> ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Find a Faculty member who can be in charge and help spread the word.<br /> <br /> ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Find on campus advertising sources and use them to spread the word.<br /> <br /> ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Talk to people around campus and see if they are interested.<br /> <br /> ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Meet with students and faculty to discuss if it will be a club or program<br /> <br /> ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Faculty and students can pitch/come up with ideas &nbsp;and discuss the marketability<br /> <br /> ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Discuss Possible project ideas for now and future. Possibly reach out to IP factory and set up a program with them. [http://www.theipfactory.org/ http://www.theipfactory.org/]<br /> <br /> ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If IP factory works with students set up a program with them and have an entrepreneur watch over project.<br /> <br /> ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Find one faculty member or hire an entrepreneur to be in charge of projects.<br /> <br /> == Strategy #2: Increase Awareness of Innovation and entrepreneurship on campus ==<br /> <br /> Description: Students should be more informed about innovation and entrepreneurship on campus because it is something that anyone can get involved in. Being innovative and having an entrepreneurial mindset are both good traits for several majors to have, and not only business and engineering.<br /> <br /> Tactic #1: 3-day Startup<br /> <br /> Description: This is a three day program similar to Startup weekend. Students pitch ideas and come up with a marketable business model and a company in an intensive 3 day event.

The university is currently developing a minor in Entrepreneurship through the business school and the engineering school introduces innovation and entrepreneurial thinking into its courses through its KEEN module ([http://www.newhaven.edu/engineering/kern-entrepreneurial-engineering-network/774399/keen-online-modules/ http://www.newhaven.edu/engineering/kern-entrepreneurial-engineering-network/774399/keen-online-modules/])<br /> <br /> Currently, University of New Haven does add some I&E into its curriculum but wants to see it applied outside of the classroom. The main goal for University of New Haven is to have interested students creating and developing products and businesses on campus by applying the skills that they have learned in class.<br /> <br /> In order to have a stronger innovative and entrepreneurial ecosystem on campus, University of New Haven plans to generate awareness of the importance and fundamental elements of I&E to students, to teach students how to apply knowledge of I&E to a specific challenge or problem, and to create more opportunities on campus that will give students a chance to exercise their creative thinking and to get some “out of the classroom” experience.<br /> <br /> == Main Priorities ==<br /> <br /> 1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Inspire students to create project teams<br /> <br /> 2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Spread awareness of Innovation and Entrepreneurship on campus<br /> <br /> 3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Create a Maker Space on campus<br /> <br /> 4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Add more Innovation and entrepreneurship into Curriculum<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == Strategy #1: Inspire Students to Create Project Teams ==<br /> <br /> Description: Several students want to get involved in big projects but there aren’t many going on, on campus. The University has the ASME Super Mileage Vehicle, and the ASCE Concrete canoe. Both of these projects are senior design projects and have very limited creative freedom. There should be more projects that undergraduates can participate in and have more freedom.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Milestones<br /> <br /> ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Discuss with faculty about possible funding sources<br /> <br /> ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Get in touch with sources that were given by faculty and on landscape canvas<br /> <br /> ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Find a Faculty member who can be in charge and help spread the word.<br /> <br /> ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Find on campus advertising sources and use them to spread the word.<br /> <br /> ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Talk to people around campus and see if they are interested.<br /> <br /> ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Meet with students and faculty to discuss if it will be a club or program<br /> <br /> ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Faculty and students can pitch/come up with ideas &nbsp;and discuss the marketability<br /> <br /> ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Discuss Possible project ideas for now and future.

<p>Austin Thomas: </p> <hr /> <div>= Project Pitch Video =<br /> <br /> 2017 Spring<br /> <br /> 2016 Spring<br /> <br /> {{#Widget:Youtube|id=e8DM03rOD14}}<br /> <br /> 2015 Spring<br /> <br /> {{#Widget:Youtube|id=z4u_YRerw2s}}<br /> <br /> = Spring 2017 Priorities =<br /> <br /> == Strategy #1:&nbsp; ==<br /> <br /> == Strategy #2: ==<br /> <br /> == Strategy #3: ==<br /> <br /> == Strategy #4:&nbsp; ==<br /> <br /> == Strategy #5:&nbsp; ==<br /> <div><br/></div><br /> = Spring 2016 Priorities =<br /> <br /> == Strategy #1: Implementation<br/> ==<br /> <br /> Innovation & Entrepreneurship Living Learning Community (IE-LLC)<br /> <br /> The Living Learning Communities are the epitome of experiential education and can serve as a catalyst for I&E implementation efforts. &nbsp;The Innovation & Entrepreneurship LLC (IE-LLC) will help students in all majors and disciplines who want to extend collaboration outside of the classroom and into a residential setting. Specifically, the IE-LLC will develop and strengthen innovation and entrepreneurship skills throughout the course of the academic year for students. Additionally, it will provide incentive and enhancement for upperclassmen residential life. The University of New Haven serves as a leader in experiential education. &nbsp;<br /> <br /> Entrepreneurial Engineering Living Learning Community<br /> <br /> Efforts are continuing to develop and maintain the Entrepreneurial Engineering Living Learning Community. The E<sup>2</sup>-LLC offers a variety of enriching activities, including monthly discussion dinners, 24 Hour Imagination Quests, and weekly meetings with the E<sup>2</sup>-LLC student coordinator. The E<sup>2</sup>-LLC provides its’ members the opportunity to pursue feasible projects outside of their academic work. The E<sup>2</sup>-<sup>&nbsp;</sup>LLC also provides its members the chance to participate in a threshold level of activities over their four years in order to earn a certificate. The Entrepreneurial Thinkers Certificate will give students an edge in today's competitive job marketplace. E<sup>2</sup>-<sup>&nbsp;</sup>LLC does not require separate housing or fees, but it does require membership in the Engineering LLC. Think of it as a supplement to the Engineering LLC. University of New Haven is proudly a member of KEEN, a collaboration of universities that strive to instill an entrepreneurial mindset in undergraduate engineering and technology students. KEEN’s mission is to graduate engineers with an entrepreneurial mindset so they can create personal, economic, and societal value through a lifetime of meaningful work. Graduates of KEEN schools will be prepared to identify new technology-based business opportunities in their engineering disciplines. This network of colleges creates synergy between member institutions that takes advantage of the network’s collective faculty in a manner that transcends an individual university’s status. &nbsp;<br /> <br /> EMpwr<br /> <br /> EMpwr (Entrepreneurial Mindset Power) is a new recognized student organization that promotes I&E and involves all majors. The five pillars of EMpwr are:<br /> <br /> #Leadership: Identify and pursue opportunities to develop the mindset, skillset, and world view related to being entrepreneurial.&nbsp;<br /> #Service: Address the local needs and apply the mindset to serve the community.&nbsp;<br /> #Outreach: Influence the future leaders, inspire innovators, and participate in enterprise.&nbsp;<br /> #Mentorship: Create meaningful peer to peer and professional relationships critical for networking and development of the individual mindset.&nbsp;<br /> #Competition: Innovate ideas and create novel solutions to real-world problems… Front-end of design with emphasis on the mindset.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == Strategy #2: Awareness ==<br /> <br /> Innovation & Entrepreneurship Newsletter<br /> <br /> Currently, there is no newsletter dedicated to I&E related news. There should be a newsletter, by print, email, or both, that places focus on the developing the entrepreneurial mindset and reporting recent innovations. For example, most individuals are aware about the popular product, the Sperry Boat Shoe. However, the majority are unaware of its origins. Inventor and sailor Paul Sperry slipped on a boat and fell overboard. The traumatic experience inspired him to develop a non-slip shoe. He observed his cocker spaniel's superior traction capabilties as it ran down an icy hill without slipping thanks to the grooves within its paws. The patented technology has evolved into a multi-billion dollar product and navy item still used today. Similar stories should be shared to inspire future innovators and to promote thinking above and beyond.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> Entrepreneurship Hour<br /> <br /> The University of New Haven has its own radio station that broadcasts various musics and shows. Often, it encourages colleges and clubs to advertise events or facilitate hour-long discussions. There should be an hour dedicated to a conversation that promotes I&E and makes students and faculty aware of I&E events on campus. A possible candidate to host the show could be the newly initiated club EMpwr (Entrepreneurial Mindset Power).<br /> <br /> == Strategy #3: Promotion ==<br /> <br /> Discussion Dinners &nbsp<br /> <br /> The E<sup>2</sup>-LLC has piloted a series of discussion dinners that have proven successful in the past year and a half. Starting at 6:30 PM, students of all majors (mostly engineering) gather for a meal, socialize, and then participate in an interactive discussion centered around innovation and entrepreneurship. Focus is placed on curiosity, creating value, and making connections. EMpwr has been cosponsoring discussion dinners. There are hopes to expand the discussion dinners to include more participants and encourage more majors to attend.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> 24 Hour Imagination Quest<br /> <br /> The 24 Hour IQ is inspired by Villanova University and will be held for the second time this upcoming spring. In the span of 24 (non-consecutive!) hours, randomized groups of students must get inspired, find opportunities, and create a business proposition. The weekend-long competition yields cash prizes to the top three winners and provides excellent first-hand innovation and entrepreneurship experiences.<br /> <br /> K-SIDE<br /> <br /> The KEEN Summer Interdisciplinary Design Experience (K-SIDE) will be a week and a half long intensive program offered during May at the University of New Haven. Inspired by Bucknell University, interdisciplinary teams work for no credit or pay to imagine, prototype and pitch a device that will contribute to the solution of a social problem. More details will come as the event nears.<br /> <br /> == Strategy #4: Resources ==<br /> <br /> Mentorship<br /> <br /> Currently, there are many opportunities at the University of New Haven available to students. However, not all may be aware of events and programs that are offered. Additionally, some students may need guidance. The E<sup>2</sup>-LLC hires a student peer mentor and coordinator to faciliate events and connect students with opportunities. The University should collectively work towards implementing more peer mentors, whether staff or student mentors, to motivate and inform students of I&E opportunities and events.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> == Strategy #5: Curriculum ==<br /> <br /> KEEN<br /> <br /> The Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN) has been providing grant money to the University of New Haven to implement programs that promote I&E within the engineering curriculum. Initiatives include Engineering Applied Science (EASC) classes such as Intro to Engineering (1107 P), Project Management (2232), and Global Solutions to Sustainability (3300). KEEN modules implemented into classes place a focus on I&E and make useful connections. The engineering department should continue its work with KEEN, and other departments should use the KEEN iniatives as models for similar I&E implementation.<br /> <br /> Service Learning<br /> <br /> Service Learning is a component of specific courses that look to go beyond the classroom. Experiential education states that the best way to learn is by doing, therefore more courses should implement service learning initiatives to encourage more real-world encounters. An example is Civil Engineering Systems (CIVL 2218) where the class (Spring 2015) was required to survey the conditions of the City of West Haven's sidewalks and create a State of Repair report to present in front of City Hall.<br /> <br /> <br/>Written by&nbsp;[[Daniel delgado|Daniel Delgado]]<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> = Spring 2015 Student Priorities =<br /> <br /> The University of New Haven is a very up and coming school in innovation and entrepreneurship.&nbsp; The curriculum is unique and introduces experiential learning starting freshman year.

This network of colleges creates synergy between member institutions that takes advantage of the network’s collective faculty in a manner that transcends an individual university’s status. &nbsp;<br /> <br /> EMpwr<br /> <br /> EMpwr (Entrepreneurial Mindset Power) is a new recognized student organization that promotes I&E and involves all majors. The five pillars of EMpwr are:<br /> <br /> #Leadership: Identify and pursue opportunities to develop the mindset, skillset, and world view related to being entrepreneurial.&nbsp;<br /> #Service: Address the local needs and apply the mindset to serve the community.&nbsp;<br /> #Outreach: Influence the future leaders, inspire innovators, and participate in enterprise.&nbsp;<br /> #Mentorship: Create meaningful peer to peer and professional relationships critical for networking and development of the individual mindset.&nbsp;<br /> #Competition: Innovate ideas and create novel solutions to real-world problems… Front-end of design with emphasis on the mindset.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == Strategy #2: Awareness ==<br /> <br /> Innovation & Entrepreneurship Newsletter<br /> <br /> Currently, there is no newsletter dedicated to I&E related news. There should be a newsletter, by print, email, or both, that places focus on the developing the entrepreneurial mindset and reporting recent innovations. For example, most individuals are aware about the popular product, the Sperry Boat Shoe. However, the majority are unaware of its origins. Inventor and sailor Paul Sperry slipped on a boat and fell overboard. The traumatic experience inspired him to develop a non-slip shoe. He observed his cocker spaniel's superior traction capabilties as it ran down an icy hill without slipping thanks to the grooves within its paws. The patented technology has evolved into a multi-billion dollar product and navy item still used today. Similar stories should be shared to inspire future innovators and to promote thinking above and beyond.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> Entrepreneurship Hour<br /> <br /> The University of New Haven has its own radio station that broadcasts various musics and shows. Often, it encourages colleges and clubs to advertise events or facilitate hour-long discussions. There should be an hour dedicated to a conversation that promotes I&E and makes students and faculty aware of I&E events on campus. A possible candidate to host the show could be the newly initiated club EMpwr (Entrepreneurial Mindset Power).<br /> <br /> == Strategy #3: Promotion ==<br /> <br /> Discussion Dinners &nbsp<br /> <br /> The E<sup>2</sup>-LLC has piloted a series of discussion dinners that have proven successful in the past year and a half. Starting at 6:30 PM, students of all majors (mostly engineering) gather for a meal, socialize, and then participate in an interactive discussion centered around innovation and entrepreneurship. Focus is placed on curiosity, creating value, and making connections. EMpwr has been cosponsoring discussion dinners. There are hopes to expand the discussion dinners to include more participants and encourage more majors to attend.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> 24 Hour Imagination Quest<br /> <br /> The 24 Hour IQ is inspired by Villanova University and will be held for the second time this upcoming spring. In the span of 24 (non-consecutive!) hours, randomized groups of students must get inspired, find opportunities, and create a business proposition. The weekend-long competition yields cash prizes to the top three winners and provides excellent first-hand innovation and entrepreneurship experiences.<br /> <br /> K-SIDE<br /> <br /> The KEEN Summer Interdisciplinary Design Experience (K-SIDE) will be a week and a half long intensive program offered during May at the University of New Haven. Inspired by Bucknell University, interdisciplinary teams work for no credit or pay to imagine, prototype and pitch a device that will contribute to the solution of a social problem. More details will come as the event nears.<br /> <br /> == Strategy #4: Resources ==<br /> <br /> Mentorship<br /> <br /> Currently, there are many opportunities at the University of New Haven available to students. However, not all may be aware of events and programs that are offered. Additionally, some students may need guidance. The E<sup>2</sup>-LLC hires a student peer mentor and coordinator to faciliate events and connect students with opportunities. The University should collectively work towards implementing more peer mentors, whether staff or student mentors, to motivate and inform students of I&E opportunities and events.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> == Strategy #5: Curriculum ==<br /> <br /> KEEN<br /> <br /> The Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN) has been providing grant money to the University of New Haven to implement programs that promote I&E within the engineering curriculum. Initiatives include Engineering Applied Science (EASC) classes such as Intro to Engineering (1107 P), Project Management (2232), and Global Solutions to Sustainability (3300). KEEN modules implemented into classes place a focus on I&E and make useful connections. The engineering department should continue its work with KEEN, and other departments should use the KEEN iniatives as models for similar I&E implementation.<br /> <br /> Service Learning<br /> <br /> Service Learning is a component of specific courses that look to go beyond the classroom. Experiential education states that the best way to learn is by doing, therefore more courses should implement service learning initiatives to encourage more real-world encounters. An example is Civil Engineering Systems (CIVL 2218) where the class (Spring 2015) was required to survey the conditions of the City of West Haven's sidewalks and create a State of Repair report to present in front of City Hall.<br /> <br /> <br/>Written by&nbsp;[[Daniel delgado|Daniel Delgado]]<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> = Spring 2015 Student Priorities =<br /> <br /> The University of New Haven is a very up and coming school in innovation and entrepreneurship.&nbsp; The curriculum is unique and introduces experiential learning starting freshman year. The university is currently developing a minor in Entrepreneurship through the business school and the engineering school introduces innovation and entrepreneurial thinking into its courses through its KEEN module ([http://www.newhaven.edu/engineering/kern-entrepreneurial-engineering-network/774399/keen-online-modules/ http://www.newhaven.edu/engineering/kern-entrepreneurial-engineering-network/774399/keen-online-modules/])<br /> <br /> Currently, University of New Haven does add some I&E into its curriculum but wants to see it applied outside of the classroom. The main goal for University of New Haven is to have interested students creating and developing products and businesses on campus by applying the skills that they have learned in class.<br /> <br /> In order to have a stronger innovative and entrepreneurial ecosystem on campus, University of New Haven plans to generate awareness of the importance and fundamental elements of I&E to students, to teach students how to apply knowledge of I&E to a specific challenge or problem, and to create more opportunities on campus that will give students a chance to exercise their creative thinking and to get some “out of the classroom” experience.<br /> <br /> == Main Priorities ==<br /> <br /> 1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Inspire students to create project teams<br /> <br /> 2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Spread awareness of Innovation and Entrepreneurship on campus<br /> <br /> 3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Create a Maker Space on campus<br /> <br /> 4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Add more Innovation and entrepreneurship into Curriculum<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == Strategy #1: Inspire Students to Create Project Teams ==<br /> <br /> Description: Several students want to get involved in big projects but there aren’t many going on, on campus. The University has the ASME Super Mileage Vehicle, and the ASCE Concrete canoe. Both of these projects are senior design projects and have very limited creative freedom. There should be more projects that undergraduates can participate in and have more freedom.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Milestones<br /> <br /> ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Discuss with faculty about possible funding sources<br /> <br /> ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Get in touch with sources that were given by faculty and on landscape canvas<br /> <br /> ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Find a Faculty member who can be in charge and help spread the word.<br /> <br /> ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Find on campus advertising sources and use them to spread the word.<br /> <br /> ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Talk to people around campus and see if they are interested.<br /> <br /> ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Meet with students and faculty to discuss if it will be a club or program<br /> <br /> ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Faculty and students can pitch/come up with ideas &nbsp;and discuss the marketability<br /> <br /> ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Discuss Possible project ideas for now and future. Possibly reach out to IP factory and set up a program with them. [http://www.theipfactory.org/ http://www.theipfactory.org/]<br /> <br /> ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If IP factory works with students set up a program with them and have an entrepreneur watch over project.<br /> <br /> ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Find one faculty member or hire an entrepreneur to be in charge of projects.<br /> <br /> == Strategy #2: Increase Awareness of Innovation and entrepreneurship on campus ==<br /> <br /> Description: Students should be more informed about innovation and entrepreneurship on campus because it is something that anyone can get involved in. Being innovative and having an entrepreneurial mindset are both good traits for several majors to have, and not only business and engineering.<br /> <br /> Tactic #1: 3-day Startup<br /> <br /> Description: This is a three day program similar to Startup weekend.

Many students go on to present their findings at professional conferences and pursue more research.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-937128f0-2d93-ce75-26e9-53e3b1c8dca9"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Past and current projects can be seen here:</span>[http://www.newhaven.edu/academics/faculty/research/SURF/ <span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">http://www.newhaven.edu/academics/faculty/research/SURF/</span>]</span><br /> <br /> === <span id="docs-internal-guid-937128f0-2d93-ce75-26e9-53e3b1c8dca9"><span style="font-size: 17px; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Senior Design</span></span> ===<br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-937128f0-2d93-ce75-26e9-53e3b1c8dca9"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Senior Design is a capstone design course for senior students in mechanical, indistrial and systems, civil, computer, and electrical engineering. Students are required to complete a two-semester course sequence involving application of their theoretical knowledge to solve pressing real-world problems. Each project includes the development and use of design methodology, formulation of design problem statements and specifications, consideration of alternative solutions, feasibility considerations and detailed system descriptions. Projects include realistic constraints, such as economic factors, safety, reliability, maintenance, aesthetics, ethics, political and social impact. Students are expected to present orally their results in a series of design reviews. The students document their solutions using a written report that includes an executive summary. A working prototype or simulation of their solution, as appropriate, is required to complete the course.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-937128f0-2d93-ce75-26e9-53e3b1c8dca9"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Design projects enable our students to put into practice what they have learned and prepare them for the workforce.

Students are required to complete a two-semester course sequence involving application of their theoretical knowledge to solve pressing real-world problems. Each project includes the development and use of design methodology, formulation of design problem statements and specifications, consideration of alternative solutions, feasibility considerations and detailed system descriptions. Projects include realistic constraints, such as economic factors, safety, reliability, maintenance, aesthetics, ethics, political and social impact. Students are expected to present orally their results in a series of design reviews. The students document their solutions using a written report that includes an executive summary. A working prototype or simulation of their solution, as appropriate, is required to complete the course.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-937128f0-2d93-ce75-26e9-53e3b1c8dca9"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Design projects enable our students to put into practice what they have learned and prepare them for the workforce.

Students are required to complete a two-semester course sequence involving application of their theoretical knowledge to solve pressing real-world problems. Each project includes the development and use of design methodology, formulation of design problem statements and specifications, consideration of alternative solutions, feasibility considerations and detailed system descriptions. Projects include realistic constraints, such as economic factors, safety, reliability, maintenance, aesthetics, ethics, political and social impact. Students are expected to present orally their results in a series of design reviews. The students document their solutions using a written report that includes an executive summary. A working prototype or simulation of their solution, as appropriate, is required to complete the course.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-937128f0-2d93-ce75-26e9-53e3b1c8dca9"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Design projects enable our students to put into practice what they have learned and prepare them for the workforce.

Students are required to complete a two-semester course sequence involving application of their theoretical knowledge to solve pressing real-world problems. Each project includes the development and use of design methodology, formulation of design problem statements and specifications, consideration of alternative solutions, feasibility considerations and detailed system descriptions. Projects include realistic constraints, such as economic factors, safety, reliability, maintenance, aesthetics, ethics, political and social impact. Students are expected to present orally their results in a series of design reviews. The students document their solutions using a written report that includes an executive summary. A working prototype or simulation of their solution, as appropriate, is required to complete the course.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-937128f0-2d93-ce75-26e9-53e3b1c8dca9"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Design projects enable our students to put into practice what they have learned and prepare them for the workforce.

Students are required to complete a two-semester course sequence involving application of their theoretical knowledge to solve pressing real-world problems. Each project includes the development and use of design methodology, formulation of design problem statements and specifications, consideration of alternative solutions, feasibility considerations and detailed system descriptions. Projects include realistic constraints, such as economic factors, safety, reliability, maintenance, aesthetics, ethics, political and social impact. Students are expected to present orally their results in a series of design reviews. The students document their solutions using a written report that includes an executive summary. A working prototype or simulation of their solution, as appropriate, is required to complete the course.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-937128f0-2d93-ce75-26e9-53e3b1c8dca9"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Design projects enable our students to put into practice what they have learned and prepare them for the workforce.

Students are required to complete a two-semester course sequence involving application of their theoretical knowledge to solve pressing real-world problems. Each project includes the development and use of design methodology, formulation of design problem statements and specifications, consideration of alternative solutions, feasibility considerations and detailed system descriptions. Projects include realistic constraints, such as economic factors, safety, reliability, maintenance, aesthetics, ethics, political and social impact. Students are expected to present orally their results in a series of design reviews. The students document their solutions using a written report that includes an executive summary. A working prototype or simulation of their solution, as appropriate, is required to complete the course.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-937128f0-2d93-ce75-26e9-53e3b1c8dca9"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Design projects enable our students to put into practice what they have learned and prepare them for the workforce.

The college receives grants from the Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN). This organization’s mission is to help instill engineers with an entrepreneurial mindset so they can create personal, economic, and societal value through a lifetime of meaningful work. Many of the engineering faculty and courses strive to help students realize the importance of innovation and entrepreneurship. Some courses help students learn to apply their knowledge to hands-on projects.</span></span><br /> <br /> == <span id="docs-internal-guid-937128f0-2d93-ce75-26e9-53e3b1c8dca9"><span style="font-size: 17px; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Encouraging Faculty Innovation and Entrepreneurship</span></span> ==<br /> <br /> === <span id="docs-internal-guid-937128f0-2d93-ce75-26e9-53e3b1c8dca9"><span style="font-size: 17px; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">SURF</span></span> ===<br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-937128f0-2d93-ce75-26e9-53e3b1c8dca9"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">UNH’s Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship program is designed to engage students in the experience of applied research under the direct mentorship of a faculty member. Over the course of a summer, students whose research proposals are accepted conduct a research project and present their results in written and oral-presentation form.&nbsp;The program supports student engagement, experiential learning, persistence and mentoring. Many students go on to present their findings at professional conferences and pursue more research.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-937128f0-2d93-ce75-26e9-53e3b1c8dca9"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Past and current projects can be seen here:</span>[http://www.newhaven.edu/academics/faculty/research/SURF/ <span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">http://www.newhaven.edu/academics/faculty/research/SURF/</span>]</span><br /> <br /> === <span id="docs-internal-guid-937128f0-2d93-ce75-26e9-53e3b1c8dca9"><span style="font-size: 17px; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Senior Design</span></span> ===<br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-937128f0-2d93-ce75-26e9-53e3b1c8dca9"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Senior Design is a capstone design course for senior students in mechanical, indistrial and systems, civil, computer, and electrical engineering. Students are required to complete a two-semester course sequence involving application of their theoretical knowledge to solve pressing real-world problems. Each project includes the development and use of design methodology, formulation of design problem statements and specifications, consideration of alternative solutions, feasibility considerations and detailed system descriptions. Projects include realistic constraints, such as economic factors, safety, reliability, maintenance, aesthetics, ethics, political and social impact. Students are expected to present orally their results in a series of design reviews. The students document their solutions using a written report that includes an executive summary. A working prototype or simulation of their solution, as appropriate, is required to complete the course.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-937128f0-2d93-ce75-26e9-53e3b1c8dca9"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Design projects enable our students to put into practice what they have learned and prepare them for the workforce.

The Tagliatela College of Engineering is trying to introduce more innovative entrepreneurial thinking into its courses. Many of the faculty are part of an organization called KEEN. This organization’s mission is to help graduate engineers with an entrepreneurial mindset so they can create personal, economic, and societal value through a lifetime of meaningful work. Many of the engineering programs and courses generate awareness, help student realize the importance of innovation and entrepreneurship. Also, some courses help students learn to apply their knowledge of innovation and entrepreneurship to projects. These courses and programs can be seen in the Landscape Canvas.</span></span><br /> <br /> == <span id="docs-internal-guid-937128f0-2d93-ce75-26e9-53e3b1c8dca9"><span style="font-size: 17px; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Encouraging faculty innovation and entrepreneurship</span></span> ==<br /> <br /> === <span id="docs-internal-guid-937128f0-2d93-ce75-26e9-53e3b1c8dca9"><span style="font-size: 17px; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">SURF</span></span> ===<br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-937128f0-2d93-ce75-26e9-53e3b1c8dca9"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">UNH’s Summer Undergraduate Research Fellows program is designed to engage students in the experience of applied research under the direct tutelage and mentorship of a faculty member. &nbsp;The full process involves students crafting a research proposal, conducting a research project, and preparation and presentation of results in written and oral-presentation form at a research fair. &nbsp;The program supports student engagement, experiential learning, persistence and mentoring.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-937128f0-2d93-ce75-26e9-53e3b1c8dca9"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Past and current projects can be seen here:</span>[http://www.newhaven.edu/academics/faculty/research/SURF/ <span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">http://www.newhaven.edu/academics/faculty/research/SURF/</span>]</span><br /> <br /> === <span id="docs-internal-guid-937128f0-2d93-ce75-26e9-53e3b1c8dca9"><span style="font-size: 17px; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Senior Design</span></span> ===<br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-937128f0-2d93-ce75-26e9-53e3b1c8dca9"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The mechanical engineering capstone design course is intended to be a unique experience for senior engineering students. Students are required to complete a two- semester capstone design course sequence involving application of their theoretical knowledge to solve pressing real-world problems. Each project includes the development and use of design methodology, formulation of design problem statements and specifications, consideration of alternative solutions, feasibility considerations and detailed system descriptions. Projects include realistic constraints, such as economic factors, safety, reliability, maintenance, aesthetics, ethics, political and social impact. Students are expected to present orally their results in a series of design reviews. The students document their solutions using a written report that includes an executive summary. A working prototype or simulation of their solution, as appropriate, is required to complete the course.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-937128f0-2d93-ce75-26e9-53e3b1c8dca9"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Design projects enable our students to put into practice what they have learned and prepare them for the workforce.

<p>Austin Thomas: </p> <hr /> <div>== Topic ==<br /> <br /> Harvard’s Introduction to Computer Science course, CS50, is a popular class not only at Harvard but also around the world. &nbsp;It is available free to the public via&nbsp;<u>edX.org</u>, a hub for online classes hosted by over 90 of the world's top Universities. &nbsp;It is a means for anyone who has an interest to learn to code and is a valuable resource to Fellows in particular. &nbsp;Topics covered in this class include abstraction, algorithms, data structures, encapsulation, resource management, security, software engineering, and web development. A wide variety of languages are covered as well including C, Python, SQL, and JavaScript plus CSS and HTML.<br /> <br /> One Fellow, Trevor Nicks, leveraged the class to not only teach himself a valuable skill, but also to establish it as an accredited course at his university, William Jewell College in Liberty, Missouri. Initiating the use of online courses such as CS50 on a campus can help to teach students skills and knowledge that they may not have been able to learn in their major or at their school at all.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> == Need and Goal ==<br /> <br /> Coding is one of many important skills in today's technological landscape. For college students in non-STEM majors or at institutions with limited course offerings, it can be difficult to supplement one's learning in a convenient way. Incorporating online accredited courses into an institution's course catalog would better enable students to broaden the scope of their learning without sacrificing their major or school of choice.<br /> <br /> == Academic Permission/Support ==<br /> <br /> Making changes to a course catalog requires first communication with the school's administration. The provost or vice-provost would be the most apt to address this topic. To gain access to a school's administration, it would most likely be easier to go through one's UIF sponsor or another faculty member who supports making this change. It is important to communicate frequently and professionally through email, as faculty and administrators are notoriously busy people. In order to coax the administrators into hearing and heeding this request, it may help to invite them to a meeting and offer refreshments so that you may politely and professionally state your case.<br /> <br /> &nbsp;<br /> <br /> == Cost ==<br /> <br /> The greatest cost in instituting currculum changes is time and energy in the form of paperwork and bureaucracy. Adding a course such as CS50 is relatively cheap for an institution in the long run, as it only requires some effort at the beginning. Once a course is added, the cost for an individual student is roughly $100. While the course content is accesible for no cost, the charge is necessary for one's work to be graded by the host university, thereby validating the credit hours. One's school may accept a certain amount of credits for online courses from edx.org, and considering the generally high tuition cost at most institutions, paying roughly $100 for 3-4 credit hours is very reasonable.<br /> <div><br /> &nbsp;<br /> <br /> == Timeline ==<br /> <br /> It is important to consider how long it takes for bureaucracy to be completed and institutional changes to be made. While it may seem like a small task, making changes to a course catalog requires various levels of approval from accredidation boards. One should allow at least a semester to pass for paperwork to be completed. Once an online course is authorized, the next students will be able to enroll in the course and receive credit from the institution as easily as with any other course.<br /> <br /> <br /> </div><div><br /> == Lessons Learned ==<br /> <br /> The underlying lesson is to never stop enriching your education and learning skills. It is important to always stay vigilant about new ways to add on to your skill set. It is also important to communicate with those around you. Trevor spent much of his time working with adminstration to make this program possible. In order to do this he had to communicate well, this includes knowing his audience, but also taking the initiative to make a connection. Another lesson is filling needs. Today's career fields had a need, Trevor found a way to help bridge that need while also bridging students to careers. The basis of most change is out of the demand of a need, there is a great importantance in the ability to notice one.&nbsp;</div>
