Benbr14:

Benjamin Bradley received his Bachelor of Arts Degree in Economics and History from and currently is a Master’s student in the Department of History at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. Ben is originally from Albuquerque, New Mexico, though he has lived in Colorado, Texas, Ohio, and Illinois. It is likely the desire to learn about new places he moved to which instilled his passion for studying history. Firmly believing there are good stories to be told no matter where one looks, Ben's studies have focused on a variety of things, from parking, to gambling, to eighteenth century Scottish and French Economist, John Law.

Ben wants to see more technology and innovation in the humanities. Together with Joshua Canon he wants to create a full Digital Humanities Studio at SIUC to give students opportunities to explore new mediums and tools for their research. Ben works for the Center for Teaching Excellence at SIUC where he helps develop mobile learning applications and bring innovations to the classroom.

In his free time, Ben runs a Vintage Base Ball Club, serves as Vice President of the History Graduate Student Association, and is a member of the History Reacting Club at SIU. He has a secret passion for collecting fun socks, and plays board games no one has heard of. In the summer he takes an annual camping trip with a small group of friends, usually to various locations in the Rocky Mountains.

= Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship =

SIU is at seminal moment in it's existence. Not only are we a few decades into the Information Age, but as a top research university SIU is facing a severe cut in financial support from the state of Illinois. Now is the time to look at how Innovation and Entrepreneurship can be incorporated further into the SIU campus including activities in and outside of the classroom. This is moment in time is the perfect opportunity for SIU to strengthen as a university that believes in providing value to students and the world at large.

= Faculty Innovation & Entrepreneurship =

The Office of Economic and Regional Development at Research Park has made strides in helping professors and researchers on campus to commercialize their research through a 12 week program called "Operation Mousetrap". Operation Mousetrap held its inaugural sessions in 2010 and features keynote speakers that are experts in their own business and law related fields. The participants of Operation Mousetrap also learn to create a mock business plan and sales pitch for their business, and must do so to graduate from the course. This program has helped many professors to form successful businesses, including Dr. Ken Anderson, the CSO and founder of Thermaquatica.

With the availability of the Southern Illinois Research Park the faculty of SIU have not hesitated to pursue their own passion and research while bringing a few or even many of their students along for the journey of innovation and entrepreneurship. Thermaquatica founder Dr. Ken Anderson has developed the OGD concept, and has served as PI on four grants funded by the Illinois Clean Coal INstitute to explore the concept and develop the fundamental technology. He is a full professor in the Department of Geoplogy, at SIUC.

Jack Crelling, PhD how is a Board Member & Technical Advisor for Thermaquatica joined the SIUC faculty in 1977 as a professor and the Leader of Coal Characterization Laboratory and the Maceral Separation Laboratory. He retired from active teaching in 2006 and now continues on the faculty as a Research Professor DxR Development Group, INC. DxR Development Group's roots are in education... specifically, medical education. In 1990,Southern Illinois University School of Medicine Professors Hurley Myers, PhD and Kevin Dorsey, MD, PhD, collaborated with software engineer Eldon Benz to produce a computer simulation program that allowed medical students to conduct a clinical investigation using a virtual patient. The program recorded the students' decisions, allowing faculty to review how the student reasoned through the patient problem. From this effort, Diagnostic Reasoning, the precursor to what is now known as DxR Clinician, was born. Clinician has since been translated into Japanese, Chinese, and Spanish and is used in at least a dozen countries.

'''OVERVIEW'''

Southern Illinois University Carbondale is in need of a little push towards the communal adoption of I&E. While our resources are tangible, they are vastly underutlized. It is our responsibility and intention as University Innovation Fellows to address the problem head on and with conviction. After several years of ineffective marketing attempts at the student level, it is apparent that a more proactive approach toward resource utilization needs to made. This why we are beginning to look at how SIU and other universities must adapt from outputing students under the Industrial model to fostering growth in students for the Information Age.

= '''Fall 2019''' Student Strategies =

== Prototype 1: The Digital Humanities Studio proposed by Benjamin Bradley and Joshua Cannon ==

*Problem
**The Humanities, especially the students of the humanities, are typically distanced from conversations of innovation, and carry a stereotype depicting them as disconnected from the real world, or without job applicable skills.SIU has always provided hands on learning experiences for its students. As we move further into the digital age, it is important we continue to explore new research opportunities for our students and faculty in the humanities.
*How do we know it’s a problem?
<ul style="margin-left: 40px;">
<li>Students in the humanities, English, history, anthropology, language studies, and the arts find an increasing number of challenges when it comes to sharing their research and its importance with a wider audience. Meanwhile, new platorms, such as podcasting, create opportunities to distribute accessible and quality works. Our time on campus students are aware of these changes and eager to explore them, and our faculty seeks to take a leadership role in guiding them.</li>
</ul>
--- How might we inform new students about existing opportunities? ---<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>The Digital Humanities Studio<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>What is it?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>This prototype has two parts. First, expanding Dr. Pinckney Benedict's Creative Writting Podcast Lab into a full Digital Humanities Studio. This will allow more diverse teams to work in mediums relatively new to the humanities. By increasing the quality and mobility of the lab, we open the door for new possibilities and set the studio up for further expansion into the realms of videograpy and external realities.</li>
<li>Second, the Saluki Tales Podcasting internship will be offered in the spring to History and other humanties students. Under direction of Dr. Joseph Sramek and history department chair Dr. Jon Bean, we will create a team of students who will produce and distribute a podcast which celebrates the research of students. This opportunity will give students the chance to share their research through a new medium, learn skills applicable both inside and outside the field, and finally set SIU's history program apart from all other history programs in the nation. Our research suggests SIU will be one of two universities in the united states using collaboration between faculty and students for historical podcasting, and possibly the only one which celebrates their original research.</li>
</ul></li>
<li>What will it cost?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>Through Principal Investigator Dr. Joseph Sramek, we have recently applied for a grant of $6,600. While we are optimistic in our chances for the grant, we have contigency plans to work with little to no money.</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Who will it help?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>As stated in the overview of this page, we need more proactive aproaches to utilizing our resources at SIU, specifically eager faculty and students. By focusing on improving the experience for College of Liberal Arts and humanities students, by giving them something concrete that they ask for, we improve their education. Past programs focused on "all freshmen" or "anyone interested" were too broad to gain a following. Our proposal leads not only to greater success for our humanities students, but also helps seperate SIU from its regional competition. We have the utmost confidence our project will thrive because of its focus on a smaller group, and believe the model can be replicated elsewhere.</li>
</ul></li>
</ul></li>
<li>Will it work?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>Our project is anchored to multiple highly motivated faculty members, and is lead by a team with a graduate and undergraduate student eager to see the program succeed. Within the department, the amount of interest by history students has been astonding, to the point where we may have to screen entrants into the internship program.</li>
<li>If you would like to see a sample of our work, Joshua and Benjamin have recorded this sample podcast:</li>
<li>[https://anchor.fm/siu-history-podcasting https://anchor.fm/siu-history-podcasting]</li>
</ul></li>
</ul>

== Prototype 2: MARP-U, Active Mentorship ==
<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>'''Problem'''<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>Students do not feel guided through their college experience, both their academic and professional journeys. A student recently said ''"I graduated with a degree but I did not feel qualified for a job''."</li>
<li>While there are platforms on campus, there is a gap betweeen these platforms and students needs</li>
<li><ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>'''How do we know it’s a problem?'''<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>The week of September 25, UIF candidates conducted surveys on campus asking student what they will like to see on campus. Students mentioned mentorship programs, guided workshops/orientations to inform students about their majors and entrepreneurial workshops . </li>
<li>These surveys highlight that students don't just want to bag a degree they want to know how to apply these degrees to enhance their career. </li>
<li>Students flunk out of school because they don't feel supported. This is obvious in SIUs graduation rates</li>
</ul></li>
</ul></li>
</ul></li>
</ul>
--- How might we inform new students about existing opportunities? ---<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>MARP-U<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>What is it?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>MARP-U stands for Mentorship Academic Development, Resource managament and Professional Development for U </li>
</ul></li>
<li>What will it cost?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>Collaborative spaces, time and relationship bulding</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Who will it help?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>Students, faculty members and the university at large </li>
</ul></li>
<li>What will it include?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>Our goal is to bridge the gap between students, faculty members and the resources on campus</li>
<li>We want to facilitate professional relationship building that organically occurs in academic and non-academic spaces on campus so that students and faculties career and professional needs are met</li>
</ul></li>
</ul></li>
<li>Will it work?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>Yes. We are taking a very inductive process </li>

<li><ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">
<li>What will it cost?<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">
<li>Currently, exact cost is unknown. The project will most likely use equipment already on campus, however new equipment may have to be bought. There will also need to be a space carved out, as well as time dedicated to building and maintaining the space.</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Who will it help?<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">
<li>This space will help out anyone who is looking to do something outside of their current study, as well as give both students and community members and opportunity to create.

</ul></li>
<li>What will it include?<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">
<li>This space will have different “pods”. Each pod will have one primary focus. Examples include a Makerspace Pod, and a Sound Pod. </li>

<li>In the past, the school has attempted to create a “Makerspace” area. The last attempt got approved, but due to unforeseen circumstances, has been put on hold indefinitely. What makes this project different than the others is that a makerspace is only one part of the whole project. The general idea is to foster innovation beyond just 3D Printing and other makerspace tools. This project will create a space that allows anyone to be creative and innovative, and in turn generate an innovative feeling all throughout our community.</li>

== Prototype 2:Innovation Course ==

Problem: We noticed that there were not many opportunities for students to learn about design thinking outside of the College of Business.

Solution:We want to provide an innovation course to the students of campus.

Process:The innovation course would teach students for a few weeks about design thinking and the process of creating a project. For the rest of the semester, the students are tasked with creating their own project that interests them. For example, if the student studies biology, they could task themselves with creating a research project. If the student studies business, they could create a plan to start their company. If the student studies engineering, they could create their own engineering project. At the end of the semester, the students will be required to show a detailed plan for their project or an actual product.

Target and Prototyping:The innovation course would be offered to honors students first as a testing ground. The honors students are required to take honors classes so by placing the innovation course as an honors course, there is a good chance that students will take it. After being tested as an honors course, we would like to open up the innovation course to the entire campus.

Long-term Plan: In the long run, the course could be utilized like Senior Design course but for targeted towards freshman. This would introduce freshman to design thinking as soon as they come to campus and teach students how to create their own projects. The course has the potential to mold SIU into a more innovative campus.

= Spring 2016 Student Strategies =

== Strategy #1 - Create A Market Demand For The I&E Resources Already Available to SIU Students ==

=== Tactic #1 - Host Innovation and Entrepreneurship Collaboration Activities ===

Description: Implement marketing events at this facility to demonstrate the power of possibilities when given the right tools. We need to inspire creative thinking in our students by surrounding them with a creative environment. Events will include Maker's Space projects, departmental think tanks, crowdfunding workshops, student organization meetings/events and much much more. 

Team Leader: Brandon Nolte

Milestones:

-TBD

=== Tactic #2 - Open Up Dialogue Between Colleges via Resource Network ===

Description: All too often we witness the spark in a students eye when they first realize how conceivable their bright new idea really is when they consider working with other College departments. However, more times than not, without a direct connection to desired college it can be difficult and frustrating to assemble a team. Simply cold calling a department phone number or emailing a student club should not be the only option. We propose to create comprehensive database network of involved innovators across all major departments in the univeristy. Not a directory, a network. These voluntary contacts on this database will be predetermined ambassadors of their department or group who give their permission to be contacted by fellow student innovators in search of knowledge specific to their venture. Opening up dialogue between departments for reasons outside of the classroom is a great way to collaborate on ideas. 

Team Leader: TBD

Milestones:

-TBD

== Strategy #2 - Work with University Administrators, Faculty, and Students to create a core curriculm fit for the Information Age. ==

=== Tactic #1 - Research, Design, and Implement classes and classrooms that foster Innovation, Creativity, and Engagement with real world problems. ===

Description: Makerspaces, clubs, research, and guest speakers are all great things that can add to the Innovative and Entrepreneurial environment on a college campus. However, the major determining factor for the quality of the education a student recieves is the core curriculum taught in every area of the university. By creating a future Design of what Southern Illinois University might look like, if I&E were the inspiration, SIU can begin to Implement changes in the classroom now. This includes two major changes to the current curriculum. #1 We need to go from teaching a tool based approach to teaching from a problem or goal based approach that directly engages students with a challenge. For example to learn about engines under the current model students must learn about all the tools, nuts, and bolts 1st before ever touching an engine. Under a problem based approach students are engaged with the challenge of fixing or building an engine from day 1 and they learn about the tools they need through trial and error. This process more directly engages students in critical thinking. The 2nd change that needs to occur in SIU's curriculm is to begin combining the Arts and Engineering. This does exist in a few areas on campus but the core curriculm doesn't address this need. All the great achievements of human civilization, such as the Pantheon in Rome, were built with Art, Design, and Engineering in total collaboration yet the Industrial model of most universities including SIU doesn't yet reflect this. Instead engineers and scientists are in one building and artists and designers in another, often never crossing eachothers' path inside a classroom. It's time to make a change.

Team Leader: Dan Bach

Milestones:

-TBD

=== Tactic #2 - Module Learning Classes for  Hands on Innovation Learning ===

Description: In the Fall of 2014 the Saluki Entrepreneur Corps produced and executed their first Business Start Up Module which had approximately 10 graduates who recieved certificates as Business Consultant Assistance.  This success in a small size allows the same model be applied to other discplines for similar exercies to give participants a better understanding of the need to be fully aware of the disciplines that they could work with in the future for a possible start-up.  

Team Leader: TBD

Milestones: 

-Finished our learning class in the Fall of 2014

== Strategy #3 - Join the Small Innovation Spaces on Campus Into a Large Campus Makerspace. ==

=== Tactic #1 - Get people thinking about the idea. ===

Description: Go around to all of the individual, design-based programs at the school. Introduce them to UIF, and talk to them about the benefits of pooling our resources as a campus into one large-scale Makerspace. Talk to program leaders, Deans, professors, and supportive alumni. Get the word out about what we're doing, and brainstorm ways to achieve it.  

Team Leader: Thomas Birch

Milestones:

- Make a list of relevant programs/people to talk to

- Schedule discussions and presentations

- Get ideas and support for this project

=== Tactic #2 - Collect information about people and resources ===

Description: Make a comprehensive list of the various resources that could be together in the Makerspace. For example, our campus has a small Makerspace group, a robotics club, and a Business Incubator. This will help us decide how the space will be organized to reflect the needs of the various groups using it.  

Team Leader: Thomas Birch

Milestones:

- Making a comprehensive list of the resources and innovation groups on campus

=== Tactic #3 - Make plans to build the Makerspace ===

Description: This will probably be the most challenging part of the project. We will need to find a location, figure out funding, get various permissions from the university, and get actual support and permission from the university. We will most likely try to use an existing building, as there is already limited space on campus for a new building.  

Team Leader: Thomas Birch

Milestones:

- Present plan to heads of University

- Acquire funding/support

- Work with contractors to modify/build space

- Acquire materials to fill space with

=== Tactic #4 - Utilize the Makerspace, and let it be used by students from every field ===

Description: Once the Makerspace is built, we need people to use it! The space will have spots where programs that were using their own spaces will be able to meet, and the space will have regular events. We also plan on trying to have classes centered around innovation to take place in the Makerspace.  

Team Leader: Thomas Birch

Milestones:

- Regular planned events at the Makerspace

- RSO's meet and use the Makerspace

- Makerspace is well-maintained

== Strategy #1 - Improve homelessness situation in Carbondale ==

=== Tactic #1 - Talk with city officials to incorporate more community projects around town ===

Description: Work on setting up more activities around Carbondale that provide jobs to people. Open programs that improve environment and city infastructure.

Team Leader: Robert Caswelch

Milestones:

-Contact city council about expanded workforce jobs around campus.

=== Tactic #2 - Work with students and faculty to tackle issues regarding poverty ===

Description: Student engagement could be improved on campus, so making a class project to improve living conditions in Carbondale could be a drive as it is a real world issue with real world results.

Team Leader:

Milestones:

-Talk with faculty about course curriculum

=== Tactic #3 - Use school resources to help people find possible work / better living conditions ===

Description: The library already has a program for helping people in need use resources, but this could be expanded further. Administrators or students in specific majors could meet and help people around the city of Carbondale to set goals. Setting up booths at fairs is an example of ways to reach out to the community in the city.

Team Leader: Robert Caswelch

Milestones:

-Set up booth at fair (farmers market)

== '''Strategy #2 - Tackle Social Justice in Carbondale''' ==

=== Tactic #1: Meet with resource centers/housing about how to develop a strong training ===

= '''OVERVIEW''' =

Southern Illinois University Carbondale is in need of a little push towards the communal adoption of I&E. While our resources are tangible, they are vastly underutlized. It is our responsibility and intention as University Innovation Fellows to address the problem head on and with conviction. After several years of ineffective marketing attempts at the student level, it is apparent that a more proactive approach toward resource utilization needs to made. This why we are beginning to look at how SIU and other universities must adapt from outputing students under the Industrial model to fostering growth in students for the Information Age.

== Prototype 1: The Digital Humanities Studio proposed by Benjamin Bradley and Joshua Cannon ==

*Problem
**The Humanities, especially the students of the humanities, are typically distanced from conversations of innovation, and carry a stereotype depicting them as disconnected from the real world, or without job applicable skills.SIU has always provided hands on learning experiences for its students. As we move further into the digital age, it is important we continue to explore new research opportunities for our students and faculty in the humanities.
*How do we know it’s a problem?
<ul style="margin-left: 40px;">
<li>Students in the humanities, English, history, anthropology, language studies, and the arts find an increasing number of challenges when it comes to sharing their research and its importance with a wider audience. Meanwhile, new platorms, such as podcasting, create opportunities to distribute accessible and quality works. Our time on campus students are aware of these changes and eager to explore them, and our faculty seeks to take a leadership role in guiding them.</li>

<li>The Digital Humanities Studio<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>What is it?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>This prototype has two parts. First, expanding Dr. Pinckney Benedict's Creative Writting Podcast Lab into a full Digital Humanities Studio. This will allow more diverse teams to work in mediums relatively new to the humanities. By increasing the quality and mobility of the lab, we open the door for new possibilities and set the studio up for further expansion into the realms of videograpy and external realities.</li>
<li>Second, the Saluki Tales Podcasting internship will be offered in the spring to History and other humanties students. Under direction of Dr. Joseph Sramek and history department chair Dr. Jon Bean, we will create a team of students who will produce and distribute a podcast which celebrates the research of students. This opportunity will give students the chance to share their research through a new medium, learn skills applicable both inside and outside the field, and finally set SIU's history program apart from all other history programs in the nation. Our research suggests SIU will be one of two universities in the united states using collaboration between faculty and students for historical podcasting, and possibly the only one which celebrates their original research.</li>
</ul></li>
<li>What will it cost?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>Through Principal Investigator Dr. Joseph Sramek, we have recently applied for a grant of $6,600. While we are optimistic in our chances for the grant, we have contigency plans to work with little to no money.</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Who will it help?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>As stated in the overview of this page, we need more proactive aproaches to utilizing our resources at SIU, specifically eager faculty and students. By focusing on improving the experience for College of Liberal Arts and humanities students, by giving them something concrete that they ask for, we improve their education. Past programs focused on "all freshmen" or "anyone interested" were too broad to gain a following. Our proposal leads not only to greater success for our humanities students, but also helps seperate SIU from its regional competition. We have the utmost confidence our project will thrive because of its focus on a smaller group, and believe the model can be replicated elsewhere.</li>
</ul></li>
</ul></li>
<li>Will it work?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>Our project is anchored to multiple highly motivated faculty members, and is lead by a team with a graduate and undergraduate student eager to see the program succeed. Within the department, the amount of interest by history students has been astonding, to the point where we may have to screen entrants into the internship program.</li>

== Prototype 2:Innovation Course ==

Problem: We noticed that there were not many opportunities for students to learn about design thinking outside of the College of Business.

Solution:We want to provide an innovation course to the students of campus.

Process:The innovation course would teach students for a few weeks about design thinking and the process of creating a project. For the rest of the semester, the students are tasked with creating their own project that interests them. For example, if the student studies biology, they could task themselves with creating a research project. If the student studies business, they could create a plan to start their company. If the student studies engineering, they could create their own engineering project. At the end of the semester, the students will be required to show a detailed plan for their project or an actual product.

Target and Prototyping:The innovation course would be offered to honors students first as a testing ground. The honors students are required to take honors classes so by placing the innovation course as an honors course, there is a good chance that students will take it. After being tested as an honors course, we would like to open up the innovation course to the entire campus.

Long-term Plan: In the long run, the course could be utilized like Senior Design course but for targeted towards freshman. This would introduce freshman to design thinking as soon as they come to campus and teach students how to create their own projects. The course has the potential to mold SIU into a more innovative campus.

== '''Strategy #1 - Create A Market Demand For The I&E Resources Already Available to SIU Students''' ==

=== Tactic #1 - Host Innovation and Entrepreneurship Collaboration Activities ===

Description: Implement marketing events at this facility to demonstrate the power of possibilities when given the right tools. We need to inspire creative thinking in our students by surrounding them with a creative environment. Events will include Maker's Space projects, departmental think tanks, crowdfunding workshops, student organization meetings/events and much much more. 

Team Leader: Brandon Nolte

Milestones:

-TBD

=== Tactic #2 - Open Up Dialogue Between Colleges via Resource Network ===

Description: All too often we witness the spark in a students eye when they first realize how conceivable their bright new idea really is when they consider working with other College departments. However, more times than not, without a direct connection to desired college it can be difficult and frustrating to assemble a team. Simply cold calling a department phone number or emailing a student club should not be the only option. We propose to create comprehensive database network of involved innovators across all major departments in the univeristy. Not a directory, a network. These voluntary contacts on this database will be predetermined ambassadors of their department or group who give their permission to be contacted by fellow student innovators in search of knowledge specific to their venture. Opening up dialogue between departments for reasons outside of the classroom is a great way to collaborate on ideas. 

Team Leader: TBD

Milestones:

== Strategy #2 - Work with University Administrators, Faculty, and Students to create a core curriculm fit for the Information Age. ==

=== Tactic #1 - Research, Design, and Implement classes and classrooms that foster Innovation, Creativity, and Engagement with real world problems. ===

Description: Makerspaces, clubs, research, and guest speakers are all great things that can add to the Innovative and Entrepreneurial environment on a college campus. However, the major determining factor for the quality of the education a student recieves is the core curriculum taught in every area of the university. By creating a future Design of what Southern Illinois University might look like, if I&E were the inspiration, SIU can begin to Implement changes in the classroom now. This includes two major changes to the current curriculum. #1 We need to go from teaching a tool based approach to teaching from a problem or goal based approach that directly engages students with a challenge. For example to learn about engines under the current model students must learn about all the tools, nuts, and bolts 1st before ever touching an engine. Under a problem based approach students are engaged with the challenge of fixing or building an engine from day 1 and they learn about the tools they need through trial and error. This process more directly engages students in critical thinking. The 2nd change that needs to occur in SIU's curriculm is to begin combining the Arts and Engineering. This does exist in a few areas on campus but the core curriculm doesn't address this need. All the great achievements of human civilization, such as the Pantheon in Rome, were built with Art, Design, and Engineering in total collaboration yet the Industrial model of most universities including SIU doesn't yet reflect this. Instead engineers and scientists are in one building and artists and designers in another, often never crossing eachothers' path inside a classroom. It's time to make a change.

=== Tactic #2 - Module Learning Classes for  Hands on Innovation Learning ===

Description: In the Fall of 2014 the Saluki Entrepreneur Corps produced and executed their first Business Start Up Module which had approximately 10 graduates who recieved certificates as Business Consultant Assistance.  This success in a small size allows the same model be applied to other discplines for similar exercies to give participants a better understanding of the need to be fully aware of the disciplines that they could work with in the future for a possible start-up.  

Team Leader: TBD

Milestones: 

-Finished our learning class in the Fall of 2014

== Strategy #3 - Join the Small Innovation Spaces on Campus Into a Large Campus Makerspace. ==

=== Tactic #1 - Get people thinking about the idea. ===

Description: Go around to all of the individual, design-based programs at the school. Introduce them to UIF, and talk to them about the benefits of pooling our resources as a campus into one large-scale Makerspace. Talk to program leaders, Deans, professors, and supportive alumni. Get the word out about what we're doing, and brainstorm ways to achieve it.  

Team Leader: Thomas Birch

Milestones:

- Make a list of relevant programs/people to talk to

- Schedule discussions and presentations

- Get ideas and support for this project

=== Tactic #2 - Collect information about people and resources ===

Description: Make a comprehensive list of the various resources that could be together in the Makerspace. For example, our campus has a small Makerspace group, a robotics club, and a Business Incubator. This will help us decide how the space will be organized to reflect the needs of the various groups using it.  

Team Leader: Thomas Birch

Milestones:

- Making a comprehensive list of the resources and innovation groups on campus

=== Tactic #3 - Make plans to build the Makerspace ===

Description: This will probably be the most challenging part of the project. We will need to find a location, figure out funding, get various permissions from the university, and get actual support and permission from the university. We will most likely try to use an existing building, as there is already limited space on campus for a new building.  

Team Leader: Thomas Birch

Milestones:

- Present plan to heads of University

- Acquire funding/support

- Work with contractors to modify/build space

- Acquire materials to fill space with

=== Tactic #4 - Utilize the Makerspace, and let it be used by students from every field ===

Description: Once the Makerspace is built, we need people to use it! The space will have spots where programs that were using their own spaces will be able to meet, and the space will have regular events. We also plan on trying to have classes centered around innovation to take place in the Makerspace.  

Team Leader: Thomas Birch

Milestones:

- Regular planned events at the Makerspace

- RSO's meet and use the Makerspace

- Makerspace is well-maintained

== Strategy #1 - Improve homelessness situation in Carbondale ==

=== Tactic #1 - Talk with city officials to incorporate more community projects around town ===

Description: Work on setting up more activities around Carbondale that provide jobs to people. Open programs that improve environment and city infastructure.

Team Leader: Robert Caswelch

Milestones:

-Contact city council about expanded workforce jobs around campus.

=== Tactic #2 - Work with students and faculty to tackle issues regarding poverty ===

Description: Student engagement could be improved on campus, so making a class project to improve living conditions in Carbondale could be a drive as it is a real world issue with real world results.

Team Leader:

Milestones:

-Talk with faculty about course curriculum

=== Tactic #3 - Use school resources to help people find possible work / better living conditions ===

Description: The library already has a program for helping people in need use resources, but this could be expanded further. Administrators or students in specific majors could meet and help people around the city of Carbondale to set goals. Setting up booths at fairs is an example of ways to reach out to the community in the city.

Team Leader: Robert Caswelch

Milestones:

-Set up booth at fair (farmers market)

== '''Strategy #2 - Tackle Social Justice in Carbondale''' ==

=== Tactic #1: Meet with resource centers/housing about how to develop a strong training ===

= '''OVERVIEW''' =

Southern Illinois University Carbondale is in need of a little push towards the communal adoption of I&E. While our resources are tangible, they are vastly underutlized. It is our responsibility and intention as University Innovation Fellows to address the problem head on and with conviction. After several years of ineffective marketing attempts at the student level, it is apparent that a more proactive approach toward resource utilization needs to made. This why we are beginning to look at how SIU and other universities must adapt from outputing students under the Industrial model to fostering growth in students for the Information Age.

== Prototype 1: The Digital Humanities Studio proposed by Benjamin Bradley and Joshua Cannon ==

*Problem
**The Humanities, especially the students of the humanities, are typically distanced from conversations of innovation, and carry a stereotype depicting them as disconnected from the real world, or without job applicable skills.SIU has always provided hands on learning experiences for its students. As we move further into the digital age, it is important we continue to explore new research opportunities for our students and faculty in the humanities.
*How do we know it’s a problem?
<ul style="margin-left: 40px;">
<li>Students in the humanities, English, history, anthropology, language studies, and the arts find an increasing number of challenges when it comes to sharing their research and its importance with a wider audience. Meanwhile, new platorms, such as podcasting, create opportunities to distribute accessible and quality works. Our time on campus students are aware of these changes and eager to explore them, and our faculty seeks to take a leadership role in guiding them.</li>
</ul>
--- How might we inform new students about existing opportunities? ---<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>The Digital Humanities Studio<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>What is it?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>This prototype has two parts. First, expanding Dr. Pinckney Benedict's Creative Writting Podcast Lab into a full Digital Humanities Studio. This will allow more diverse teams to work in mediums relatively new to the humanities. By increasing the quality and mobility of the lab, we open the door for new possibilities and set the studio up for further expansion into the realms of videograpy and external realities. </li>
<li>Second, the Saluki Tales Podcasting internship will be offered in the fall to History and other humanties students. Under direction of Dr. Joseph Sramek and history department chair Dr. Jon Bean, we will create a team of students who will produce and distribute a podcast which celebrates the research of students. This opportunity will give students the chance to share their research through a new medium, learn skills applicable both inside and outside the field, and finally set SIU's history program apart from all other history programs in the nation. Our research suggests SIU will be one of two universities in the united states using collaboration between faculty and students for historical podcasting, and possibly the only one which celebrates their original research.</li>
</ul></li>
<li>What will it cost?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>Through Principal Investigator Dr. Joseph Sramek, we have recently applied for a grant of $6,600. While we are optimistic in our chances for the grant, we have contigency plans to work with little to no money.</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Who will it help?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>As stated in the overview of this page, we need more proactive aproaches to utilizing our resources at SIU, specifically eager faculty and students. By focusing on improving the experience for College of Liberal Arts and humanities students, by giving them something concrete that they ask for, we improve their education. Past programs focused on "all freshmen" or "anyone interested" were too broad to gain a following. Our proposal leads not only to greater success for our humanities students, but also helps seperate SIU from its regional competition. We have the utmost confidence our project will thrive because of its focus on a smaller group, and believe the model can be replicated elsewhere.</li>
</ul></li>
</ul></li>
<li>Will it work?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>Our project is anchored to multiple highly motivated faculty members, and is lead by a team with a graduate and undergraduate student eager to see the program succeed. Within the department, the amount of interest by history students has been astonding, to the point where we may have to screen entrants into the internship program.</li>

<li>We discussed this idea with three of the freshmen that we previously interviewed.

When we presented this idea to one of our stakeholders, she responded positively to the lack of cost involved.</li>

== Prototype 2:Innovation Course ==

Problem: We noticed that there were not many opportunities for students to learn about design thinking outside of the College of Business.

Solution:We want to provide an innovation course to the students of campus.

Process:The innovation course would teach students for a few weeks about design thinking and the process of creating a project. For the rest of the semester, the students are tasked with creating their own project that interests them. For example, if the student studies biology, they could task themselves with creating a research project. If the student studies business, they could create a plan to start their company. If the student studies engineering, they could create their own engineering project. At the end of the semester, the students will be required to show a detailed plan for their project or an actual product.

Target and Prototyping:The innovation course would be offered to honors students first as a testing ground. The honors students are required to take honors classes so by placing the innovation course as an honors course, there is a good chance that students will take it. After being tested as an honors course, we would like to open up the innovation course to the entire campus.

Long-term Plan: In the long run, the course could be utilized like Senior Design course but for targeted towards freshman. This would introduce freshman to design thinking as soon as they come to campus and teach students how to create their own projects. The course has the potential to mold SIU into a more innovative campus.

</ul></li>
<li>Who will it help?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>This tool will help students of every classification by providing them a place to turn to for any Southern Illinois University related question. This will streamline the process of students trying to find out who can answer their specific questions.</li>
</ul></li>
<li>What will it include?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>We would keep the concept simple with a bar to type in questions on the homepage of D2L. There would be a FAQ link under the bar with questions that have been answered and their corresponding answers. When a question is answered, an email will be sent to the student and also go into the FAQ bank for other students to access.</li>
</ul></li>
</ul></li>
<li>Will it work?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>We discussed this idea with one of our stakeholders that is in charge of the Desire to Learn (D2L) platform, who reacted positively to the proposal. She offered to help us redesign the homepage of D2L to include a question bar with a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) resource link under it. Due to our SIU emails being linked to our D2L accounts, designated staff can respond through email and list the answer on the FAQ page.</li>

<li>How do we know it’s a problem?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>We’ve gone through UCOL first hand and realized that it should not be as broadly structured as it was. We all agree that it should be tailored towards your specific field of study. --- How might we give students the resources to get answers? ---</li>

<li>What is it?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>After reflecting heavily on our personal experiences with the current structure of UCOL, we will modify the curriculum that is taught to the students to be major specific. Through this modification of curriculum, we will guide teachers of the UCOL course to connect those students towards related RSO’s and other major related organizations and opportunities on campus.</li>
</ul></li>
<li>What does it need to be implemented?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>This project will require no funding. A slight shift in the way the class is taught, along with some work with the universities registrar office, we will be able to move students into their Major Specific Introductory course for nothing more than a little hard work.</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Who will it help?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>This will help students who are not wanting too broad of an overview of campus and the resources on it. The students who will come into the university with an understanding of what they want to do in their major will be able to accomplish that by being given knowledge about opportunities in their major.</li>
<li></li>
</ul></li>
<li>What will it include?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>It will include a structured list of major related RSO’s and opportunities within the university and around the southern Illinois region. The course will be structured in a way that the students are required to go out and actually interact with peers and faculty in their major.</li>

= Fall 2017 Student Strategies =

== '''Strategy #1 - Create A Market Demand For The I&E Resources Already Available to SIU Students''' ==

=== Tactic #1 - Host Innovation and Entrepreneurship Collaboration Activities ===

Description: Implement marketing events at this facility to demonstrate the power of possibilities when given the right tools. We need to inspire creative thinking in our students by surrounding them with a creative environment. Events will include Maker's Space projects, departmental think tanks, crowdfunding workshops, student organization meetings/events and much much more. 

Team Leader: Brandon Nolte

Milestones:

-TBD

=== Tactic #2 - Open Up Dialogue Between Colleges via Resource Network ===

Description: All too often we witness the spark in a students eye when they first realize how conceivable their bright new idea really is when they consider working with other College departments. However, more times than not, without a direct connection to desired college it can be difficult and frustrating to assemble a team. Simply cold calling a department phone number or emailing a student club should not be the only option. We propose to create comprehensive database network of involved innovators across all major departments in the univeristy. Not a directory, a network. These voluntary contacts on this database will be predetermined ambassadors of their department or group who give their permission to be contacted by fellow student innovators in search of knowledge specific to their venture. Opening up dialogue between departments for reasons outside of the classroom is a great way to collaborate on ideas. 

Team Leader: TBD

Milestones:

-TBD

== Strategy #2 - Work with University Administrators, Faculty, and Students to create a core curriculm fit for the Information Age. ==

=== Tactic #1 - Research, Design, and Implement classes and classrooms that foster Innovation, Creativity, and Engagement with real world problems. ===

Description: Makerspaces, clubs, research, and guest speakers are all great things that can add to the Innovative and Entrepreneurial environment on a college campus. However, the major determining factor for the quality of the education a student recieves is the core curriculum taught in every area of the university. By creating a future Design of what Southern Illinois University might look like, if I&E were the inspiration, SIU can begin to Implement changes in the classroom now. This includes two major changes to the current curriculum. #1 We need to go from teaching a tool based approach to teaching from a problem or goal based approach that directly engages students with a challenge. For example to learn about engines under the current model students must learn about all the tools, nuts, and bolts 1st before ever touching an engine. Under a problem based approach students are engaged with the challenge of fixing or building an engine from day 1 and they learn about the tools they need through trial and error. This process more directly engages students in critical thinking. The 2nd change that needs to occur in SIU's curriculm is to begin combining the Arts and Engineering. This does exist in a few areas on campus but the core curriculm doesn't address this need. All the great achievements of human civilization, such as the Pantheon in Rome, were built with Art, Design, and Engineering in total collaboration yet the Industrial model of most universities including SIU doesn't yet reflect this. Instead engineers and scientists are in one building and artists and designers in another, often never crossing eachothers' path inside a classroom. It's time to make a change.

Team Leader: Dan Bach

Milestones:

-TBD

=== Tactic #2 - Module Learning Classes for  Hands on Innovation Learning ===

Description: In the Fall of 2014 the Saluki Entrepreneur Corps produced and executed their first Business Start Up Module which had approximately 10 graduates who recieved certificates as Business Consultant Assistance.  This success in a small size allows the same model be applied to other discplines for similar exercies to give participants a better understanding of the need to be fully aware of the disciplines that they could work with in the future for a possible start-up.  

Team Leader: TBD

Milestones: 

-Finished our learning class in the Fall of 2014

== Strategy #3 - Join the Small Innovation Spaces on Campus Into a Large Campus Makerspace. ==

=== Tactic #1 - Get people thinking about the idea. ===

Description: Go around to all of the individual, design-based programs at the school. Introduce them to UIF, and talk to them about the benefits of pooling our resources as a campus into one large-scale Makerspace. Talk to program leaders, Deans, professors, and supportive alumni. Get the word out about what we're doing, and brainstorm ways to achieve it.  

Team Leader: Thomas Birch

Milestones:

- Make a list of relevant programs/people to talk to

- Schedule discussions and presentations

- Get ideas and support for this project

=== Tactic #2 - Collect information about people and resources ===

Description: Make a comprehensive list of the various resources that could be together in the Makerspace. For example, our campus has a small Makerspace group, a robotics club, and a Business Incubator. This will help us decide how the space will be organized to reflect the needs of the various groups using it.  

Team Leader: Thomas Birch

Milestones:

- Making a comprehensive list of the resources and innovation groups on campus

=== Tactic #3 - Make plans to build the Makerspace ===

Description: This will probably be the most challenging part of the project. We will need to find a location, figure out funding, get various permissions from the university, and get actual support and permission from the university. We will most likely try to use an existing building, as there is already limited space on campus for a new building.  

Team Leader: Thomas Birch

Milestones:

- Present plan to heads of University

- Acquire funding/support

- Work with contractors to modify/build space

- Acquire materials to fill space with

=== Tactic #4 - Utilize the Makerspace, and let it be used by students from every field ===

Description: Once the Makerspace is built, we need people to use it! The space will have spots where programs that were using their own spaces will be able to meet, and the space will have regular events. We also plan on trying to have classes centered around innovation to take place in the Makerspace.  

Team Leader: Thomas Birch

Milestones:

- Regular planned events at the Makerspace

- RSO's meet and use the Makerspace

- Makerspace is well-maintained

= Fall 2016 Student Strategies =

== Strategy #1 - Improve homelessness situation in Carbondale ==

=== Tactic #1 - Talk with city officials to incorporate more community projects around town ===

Description: Work on setting up more activities around Carbondale that provide jobs to people. Open programs that improve environment and city infastructure.

Team Leader: Robert Caswelch

Milestones:

-Contact city council about expanded workforce jobs around campus.

=== Tactic #2 - Work with students and faculty to tackle issues regarding poverty ===

Description: Student engagement could be improved on campus, so making a class project to improve living conditions in Carbondale could be a drive as it is a real world issue with real world results.

Team Leader:

Milestones:

-Talk with faculty about course curriculum

=== Tactic #3 - Use school resources to help people find possible work / better living conditions ===

Description: The library already has a program for helping people in need use resources, but this could be expanded further. Administrators or students in specific majors could meet and help people around the city of Carbondale to set goals. Setting up booths at fairs is an example of ways to reach out to the community in the city.

Team Leader: Robert Caswelch

Milestones:

-Set up booth at fair (farmers market)

== '''Strategy #2 - Tackle Social Justice in Carbondale''' ==

=== Tactic #1: Meet with resource centers/housing about how to develop a strong training ===

Description: Reach out to multiple resource centers on campus as well as housing. Possibly reach out to people that have created the Consent and Respect training that aims to educate students on sexual assault.

Team Leader: Mary McGee

Milestones: N/A

Find and contact staff by December.

=== Tactic #2: Conduct interviews with students to see how they have been affected by discrimination, oppression, etc. ===

Description: Meet with students from all walks of life, majors, races, sexualities, etc and talk about their unique experiences.

Team Leader: Mary McGee

Milestones: N/A

Find and meet with students and faculty by January

=== Tactic #3: Partner with organizations on campus ===

Description: Develop a sense of where all the resources are and then contact each one of them to see if they are interested in working with me.

Team Leader: Mary McGee

Milestones: N/A

Develop a solid plan by February

=== '''Tactic #4: Develop the training and deliver''' ===

Description: Create a basis of what I want in the training, who should be a part of it, and how I will follow through with this training.

Team Leader: Mary McGee

Milestones: N/A

Develop a solid program by March or April so that I can start implementing for the summer.

= '''OVERVIEW''' =

Southern Illinois University Carbondale is in need of a little push towards the communal adoption of I&E. While our resources are tangible, they are vastly underutlized. It is our responsibility and intention as University Innovation Fellows to address the problem head on and with conviction. After several years of ineffective marketing attempts at the student level, it is apparent that a more proactive approach toward resource utilization needs to made. This why we are beginning to look at how SIU and other universities must adapt from outputing students under the Industrial model to fostering growth in students for the Information Age.

**The Humanities, especially the students of the humanities, are typically distanced from conversations of innovation, and carry a stereotype depicting them as disconnected from the real world, or without job applicable skills.SIU has always provided hands on learning experiences for its students. As we move further into the digital age, it is important we continue to explore new research opportunities for our students and faculty in the humanities.
*How do we know it’s a problem?
<ul style="margin-left: 40px;">
<li>Students in the humanities, English, history, anthropology, language studies, and the arts find an increasing number of challenges when it comes to sharing their research and its importance with a wider audience. Meanwhile, new platorms, such as podcasting, create opportunities to distribute accessible and quality works. Our time on campus students are aware of these changes and eager to explore them, and our faculty seeks to take a leadership role in guiding them.</li>

<li>As stated in the overview of this page, we need more proactive aproaches to utilizing our resources at SIU, specifically eager faculty and students. By focusing on improving the experience for College of Liberal Arts and humanities students, by giving them something concrete that they ask for, we improve their education. This leads not only to greater student success, but also helps seperate SIU from its regional competition. We have the utmost confidence in our project and look forward to seeing it succeed.

<li>Our project is anchored to multiple highly motivated faculty members, and is lead by a team with a graduate and undergraduate student eager to see the program succeed. Within the department, the amount of interest by history students has been astonding, to the point where we may have to screen entrants into the internship program.</li>

== Prototype 2:Innovation Course ==

Problem: We noticed that there were not many opportunities for students to learn about design thinking outside of the College of Business.

Solution:We want to provide an innovation course to the students of campus.

Process:The innovation course would teach students for a few weeks about design thinking and the process of creating a project. For the rest of the semester, the students are tasked with creating their own project that interests them. For example, if the student studies biology, they could task themselves with creating a research project. If the student studies business, they could create a plan to start their company. If the student studies engineering, they could create their own engineering project. At the end of the semester, the students will be required to show a detailed plan for their project or an actual product.

Target and Prototyping:The innovation course would be offered to honors students first as a testing ground. The honors students are required to take honors classes so by placing the innovation course as an honors course, there is a good chance that students will take it. After being tested as an honors course, we would like to open up the innovation course to the entire campus.

Long-term Plan: In the long run, the course could be utilized like Senior Design course but for targeted towards freshman. This would introduce freshman to design thinking as soon as they come to campus and teach students how to create their own projects. The course has the potential to mold SIU into a more innovative campus.

== '''Strategy #1 - Create A Market Demand For The I&E Resources Already Available to SIU Students''' ==

=== Tactic #1 - Host Innovation and Entrepreneurship Collaboration Activities ===

Description: Implement marketing events at this facility to demonstrate the power of possibilities when given the right tools. We need to inspire creative thinking in our students by surrounding them with a creative environment. Events will include Maker's Space projects, departmental think tanks, crowdfunding workshops, student organization meetings/events and much much more. 

Team Leader: Brandon Nolte

Milestones:

-TBD

=== Tactic #2 - Open Up Dialogue Between Colleges via Resource Network ===

Description: All too often we witness the spark in a students eye when they first realize how conceivable their bright new idea really is when they consider working with other College departments. However, more times than not, without a direct connection to desired college it can be difficult and frustrating to assemble a team. Simply cold calling a department phone number or emailing a student club should not be the only option. We propose to create comprehensive database network of involved innovators across all major departments in the univeristy. Not a directory, a network. These voluntary contacts on this database will be predetermined ambassadors of their department or group who give their permission to be contacted by fellow student innovators in search of knowledge specific to their venture. Opening up dialogue between departments for reasons outside of the classroom is a great way to collaborate on ideas. 

Team Leader: TBD

Milestones:

== Strategy #2 - Work with University Administrators, Faculty, and Students to create a core curriculm fit for the Information Age. ==

=== Tactic #1 - Research, Design, and Implement classes and classrooms that foster Innovation, Creativity, and Engagement with real world problems. ===

Description: Makerspaces, clubs, research, and guest speakers are all great things that can add to the Innovative and Entrepreneurial environment on a college campus. However, the major determining factor for the quality of the education a student recieves is the core curriculum taught in every area of the university. By creating a future Design of what Southern Illinois University might look like, if I&E were the inspiration, SIU can begin to Implement changes in the classroom now. This includes two major changes to the current curriculum. #1 We need to go from teaching a tool based approach to teaching from a problem or goal based approach that directly engages students with a challenge. For example to learn about engines under the current model students must learn about all the tools, nuts, and bolts 1st before ever touching an engine. Under a problem based approach students are engaged with the challenge of fixing or building an engine from day 1 and they learn about the tools they need through trial and error. This process more directly engages students in critical thinking. The 2nd change that needs to occur in SIU's curriculm is to begin combining the Arts and Engineering. This does exist in a few areas on campus but the core curriculm doesn't address this need. All the great achievements of human civilization, such as the Pantheon in Rome, were built with Art, Design, and Engineering in total collaboration yet the Industrial model of most universities including SIU doesn't yet reflect this. Instead engineers and scientists are in one building and artists and designers in another, often never crossing eachothers' path inside a classroom. It's time to make a change.

=== Tactic #2 - Module Learning Classes for  Hands on Innovation Learning ===

Description: In the Fall of 2014 the Saluki Entrepreneur Corps produced and executed their first Business Start Up Module which had approximately 10 graduates who recieved certificates as Business Consultant Assistance.  This success in a small size allows the same model be applied to other discplines for similar exercies to give participants a better understanding of the need to be fully aware of the disciplines that they could work with in the future for a possible start-up.  

Team Leader: TBD

Milestones: 

-Finished our learning class in the Fall of 2014

== Strategy #3 - Join the Small Innovation Spaces on Campus Into a Large Campus Makerspace. ==

=== Tactic #1 - Get people thinking about the idea. ===

Description: Go around to all of the individual, design-based programs at the school. Introduce them to UIF, and talk to them about the benefits of pooling our resources as a campus into one large-scale Makerspace. Talk to program leaders, Deans, professors, and supportive alumni. Get the word out about what we're doing, and brainstorm ways to achieve it.  

Team Leader: Thomas Birch

Milestones:

- Make a list of relevant programs/people to talk to

- Schedule discussions and presentations

- Get ideas and support for this project

=== Tactic #2 - Collect information about people and resources ===

Description: Make a comprehensive list of the various resources that could be together in the Makerspace. For example, our campus has a small Makerspace group, a robotics club, and a Business Incubator. This will help us decide how the space will be organized to reflect the needs of the various groups using it.  

Team Leader: Thomas Birch

Milestones:

- Making a comprehensive list of the resources and innovation groups on campus

=== Tactic #3 - Make plans to build the Makerspace ===

Description: This will probably be the most challenging part of the project. We will need to find a location, figure out funding, get various permissions from the university, and get actual support and permission from the university. We will most likely try to use an existing building, as there is already limited space on campus for a new building.  

Team Leader: Thomas Birch

Milestones:

- Present plan to heads of University

- Acquire funding/support

- Work with contractors to modify/build space

- Acquire materials to fill space with

=== Tactic #4 - Utilize the Makerspace, and let it be used by students from every field ===

Description: Once the Makerspace is built, we need people to use it! The space will have spots where programs that were using their own spaces will be able to meet, and the space will have regular events. We also plan on trying to have classes centered around innovation to take place in the Makerspace.  

Team Leader: Thomas Birch

Milestones:

- Regular planned events at the Makerspace

- RSO's meet and use the Makerspace

- Makerspace is well-maintained

=== Tactic #1 - Talk with city officials to incorporate more community projects around town ===

Description: Work on setting up more activities around Carbondale that provide jobs to people. Open programs that improve environment and city infastructure.

Team Leader: Robert Caswelch

Milestones:

-Contact city council about expanded workforce jobs around campus.

=== Tactic #2 - Work with students and faculty to tackle issues regarding poverty ===

Description: Student engagement could be improved on campus, so making a class project to improve living conditions in Carbondale could be a drive as it is a real world issue with real world results.

Team Leader:

Milestones:

-Talk with faculty about course curriculum

=== Tactic #3 - Use school resources to help people find possible work / better living conditions ===

Description: The library already has a program for helping people in need use resources, but this could be expanded further. Administrators or students in specific majors could meet and help people around the city of Carbondale to set goals. Setting up booths at fairs is an example of ways to reach out to the community in the city.

Team Leader: Robert Caswelch

Milestones:

-Set up booth at fair (farmers market)

== '''Strategy #2 - Tackle Social Justice in Carbondale''' ==

=== Tactic #1: Meet with resource centers/housing about how to develop a strong training ===

= '''OVERVIEW''' =

Southern Illinois University Carbondale is in need of a little push towards the communal adoption of I&E. While our resources are tangible, they are vastly underutlized. It is our responsibility and intention as University Innovation Fellows to address the problem head on and with conviction. After several years of ineffective marketing attempts at the student level, it is apparent that a more proactive approach toward resource utilization needs to made. This why we are beginning to look at how SIU and other universities must adapt from outputing students under the Industrial model to fostering growth in students for the Information Age.

== Prototype 1: The Digital Humanities Lab proposed by Benjamin Bradley and Joshua Cannon ==

*Problem
**The Humanities, especially the students of the humanities, are typically distanced from conversations of innovation, and carry a stereotype depicting them as disconnected from the real world, or without job applicable skills.SIU has always provided hands on learning experiences for its students. As we move further into the digital age, it is important we continue to explore new research opportunities for our students and faculty.
*How do we know it’s a problem?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
</ul></ul>
<ul style="margin-left: 40px;">
<li>Students in the humanities, English, history, anthropology, language studies, and the arts find an increasing number of challenges when it comes to sharing their research and its importance with a wider audience. Meanwhile, new platorms, such as podcasting, create opportunities to distribute accessible and quality works. Our time on campus students are aware of these changes and eager to explore them, and our faculty seeks to take a leadership role in guiding them.</li>

<li>As stated in the overview of this page, we need more proactive aproaches to utilizing our resources at SIU, specifically eager faculty and students. By focusing on improving the experience for College of Liberal Arts and humanities students, by giving them something concrete that they ask for, we improve their education. This leads not only to greater student success, but also helps seperate SIU from its regional competition. We have the utmost confidence in our project and look forward to seeing it succeed.

== Prototype 2:Innovation Course ==

Problem: We noticed that there were not many opportunities for students to learn about design thinking outside of the College of Business.

Solution:We want to provide an innovation course to the students of campus.

Process:The innovation course would teach students for a few weeks about design thinking and the process of creating a project. For the rest of the semester, the students are tasked with creating their own project that interests them. For example, if the student studies biology, they could task themselves with creating a research project. If the student studies business, they could create a plan to start their company. If the student studies engineering, they could create their own engineering project. At the end of the semester, the students will be required to show a detailed plan for their project or an actual product.

Target and Prototyping:The innovation course would be offered to honors students first as a testing ground. The honors students are required to take honors classes so by placing the innovation course as an honors course, there is a good chance that students will take it. After being tested as an honors course, we would like to open up the innovation course to the entire campus.

Long-term Plan: In the long run, the course could be utilized like Senior Design course but for targeted towards freshman. This would introduce freshman to design thinking as soon as they come to campus and teach students how to create their own projects. The course has the potential to mold SIU into a more innovative campus.

</ul></li>
<li>Who will it help?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>This tool will help students of every classification by providing them a place to turn to for any Southern Illinois University related question. This will streamline the process of students trying to find out who can answer their specific questions.</li>
</ul></li>
<li>What will it include?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>We would keep the concept simple with a bar to type in questions on the homepage of D2L. There would be a FAQ link under the bar with questions that have been answered and their corresponding answers. When a question is answered, an email will be sent to the student and also go into the FAQ bank for other students to access.</li>
</ul></li>
</ul></li>
<li>Will it work?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>We discussed this idea with one of our stakeholders that is in charge of the Desire to Learn (D2L) platform, who reacted positively to the proposal. She offered to help us redesign the homepage of D2L to include a question bar with a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) resource link under it. Due to our SIU emails being linked to our D2L accounts, designated staff can respond through email and list the answer on the FAQ page.</li>

<li>How do we know it’s a problem?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>We’ve gone through UCOL first hand and realized that it should not be as broadly structured as it was. We all agree that it should be tailored towards your specific field of study. --- How might we give students the resources to get answers? ---</li>
</ul></li>
</ul></li>
<li><span style="background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap">Major Specific Introductory Course ( UCOL )<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>What is it?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>After reflecting heavily on our personal experiences with the current structure of UCOL, we will modify the curriculum that is taught to the students to be major specific. Through this modification of curriculum, we will guide teachers of the UCOL course to connect those students towards related RSO’s and other major related organizations and opportunities on campus.</li>
</ul></li>
<li>What does it need to be implemented?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>This project will require no funding. A slight shift in the way the class is taught, along with some work with the universities registrar office, we will be able to move students into their Major Specific Introductory course for nothing more than a little hard work.</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Who will it help?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>This will help students who are not wanting too broad of an overview of campus and the resources on it. The students who will come into the university with an understanding of what they want to do in their major will be able to accomplish that by being given knowledge about opportunities in their major.</li>
<li></li>
</ul></li>
<li>What will it include?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>It will include a structured list of major related RSO’s and opportunities within the university and around the southern Illinois region. The course will be structured in a way that the students are required to go out and actually interact with peers and faculty in their major.</li>

= Fall 2017 Student Strategies =

== '''Strategy #1 - Create A Market Demand For The I&E Resources Already Available to SIU Students''' ==

=== Tactic #1 - Host Innovation and Entrepreneurship Collaboration Activities ===

Description: Implement marketing events at this facility to demonstrate the power of possibilities when given the right tools. We need to inspire creative thinking in our students by surrounding them with a creative environment. Events will include Maker's Space projects, departmental think tanks, crowdfunding workshops, student organization meetings/events and much much more. 

Team Leader: Brandon Nolte

Milestones:

-TBD

=== Tactic #2 - Open Up Dialogue Between Colleges via Resource Network ===

Description: All too often we witness the spark in a students eye when they first realize how conceivable their bright new idea really is when they consider working with other College departments. However, more times than not, without a direct connection to desired college it can be difficult and frustrating to assemble a team. Simply cold calling a department phone number or emailing a student club should not be the only option. We propose to create comprehensive database network of involved innovators across all major departments in the univeristy. Not a directory, a network. These voluntary contacts on this database will be predetermined ambassadors of their department or group who give their permission to be contacted by fellow student innovators in search of knowledge specific to their venture. Opening up dialogue between departments for reasons outside of the classroom is a great way to collaborate on ideas. 

Team Leader: TBD

Milestones:

-TBD

== Strategy #2 - Work with University Administrators, Faculty, and Students to create a core curriculm fit for the Information Age. ==

=== Tactic #1 - Research, Design, and Implement classes and classrooms that foster Innovation, Creativity, and Engagement with real world problems. ===

Description: Makerspaces, clubs, research, and guest speakers are all great things that can add to the Innovative and Entrepreneurial environment on a college campus. However, the major determining factor for the quality of the education a student recieves is the core curriculum taught in every area of the university. By creating a future Design of what Southern Illinois University might look like, if I&E were the inspiration, SIU can begin to Implement changes in the classroom now. This includes two major changes to the current curriculum. #1 We need to go from teaching a tool based approach to teaching from a problem or goal based approach that directly engages students with a challenge. For example to learn about engines under the current model students must learn about all the tools, nuts, and bolts 1st before ever touching an engine. Under a problem based approach students are engaged with the challenge of fixing or building an engine from day 1 and they learn about the tools they need through trial and error. This process more directly engages students in critical thinking. The 2nd change that needs to occur in SIU's curriculm is to begin combining the Arts and Engineering. This does exist in a few areas on campus but the core curriculm doesn't address this need. All the great achievements of human civilization, such as the Pantheon in Rome, were built with Art, Design, and Engineering in total collaboration yet the Industrial model of most universities including SIU doesn't yet reflect this. Instead engineers and scientists are in one building and artists and designers in another, often never crossing eachothers' path inside a classroom. It's time to make a change.

Team Leader: Dan Bach

Milestones:

-TBD

=== Tactic #2 - Module Learning Classes for  Hands on Innovation Learning ===

Description: In the Fall of 2014 the Saluki Entrepreneur Corps produced and executed their first Business Start Up Module which had approximately 10 graduates who recieved certificates as Business Consultant Assistance.  This success in a small size allows the same model be applied to other discplines for similar exercies to give participants a better understanding of the need to be fully aware of the disciplines that they could work with in the future for a possible start-up.  

Team Leader: TBD

Milestones: 

-Finished our learning class in the Fall of 2014

== Strategy #3 - Join the Small Innovation Spaces on Campus Into a Large Campus Makerspace. ==

=== Tactic #1 - Get people thinking about the idea. ===

Description: Go around to all of the individual, design-based programs at the school. Introduce them to UIF, and talk to them about the benefits of pooling our resources as a campus into one large-scale Makerspace. Talk to program leaders, Deans, professors, and supportive alumni. Get the word out about what we're doing, and brainstorm ways to achieve it.  

Team Leader: Thomas Birch

Milestones:

- Make a list of relevant programs/people to talk to

- Schedule discussions and presentations

- Get ideas and support for this project

=== Tactic #2 - Collect information about people and resources ===

Description: Make a comprehensive list of the various resources that could be together in the Makerspace. For example, our campus has a small Makerspace group, a robotics club, and a Business Incubator. This will help us decide how the space will be organized to reflect the needs of the various groups using it.  

Team Leader: Thomas Birch

Milestones:

- Making a comprehensive list of the resources and innovation groups on campus

=== Tactic #3 - Make plans to build the Makerspace ===

Description: This will probably be the most challenging part of the project. We will need to find a location, figure out funding, get various permissions from the university, and get actual support and permission from the university. We will most likely try to use an existing building, as there is already limited space on campus for a new building.  

Team Leader: Thomas Birch

Milestones:

- Present plan to heads of University

- Acquire funding/support

- Work with contractors to modify/build space

- Acquire materials to fill space with

=== Tactic #4 - Utilize the Makerspace, and let it be used by students from every field ===

Description: Once the Makerspace is built, we need people to use it! The space will have spots where programs that were using their own spaces will be able to meet, and the space will have regular events. We also plan on trying to have classes centered around innovation to take place in the Makerspace.  

Team Leader: Thomas Birch

Milestones:

- Regular planned events at the Makerspace

- RSO's meet and use the Makerspace

- Makerspace is well-maintained

= Fall 2016 Student Strategies =

== Strategy #1 - Improve homelessness situation in Carbondale ==

=== Tactic #1 - Talk with city officials to incorporate more community projects around town ===

Description: Work on setting up more activities around Carbondale that provide jobs to people. Open programs that improve environment and city infastructure.

Team Leader: Robert Caswelch

Milestones:

-Contact city council about expanded workforce jobs around campus.

=== Tactic #2 - Work with students and faculty to tackle issues regarding poverty ===

Description: Student engagement could be improved on campus, so making a class project to improve living conditions in Carbondale could be a drive as it is a real world issue with real world results.

Team Leader:

Milestones:

-Talk with faculty about course curriculum

=== Tactic #3 - Use school resources to help people find possible work / better living conditions ===

Description: The library already has a program for helping people in need use resources, but this could be expanded further. Administrators or students in specific majors could meet and help people around the city of Carbondale to set goals. Setting up booths at fairs is an example of ways to reach out to the community in the city.

Team Leader: Robert Caswelch

Milestones:

-Set up booth at fair (farmers market)

== '''Strategy #2 - Tackle Social Justice in Carbondale''' ==

=== Tactic #1: Meet with resource centers/housing about how to develop a strong training ===

Description: Reach out to multiple resource centers on campus as well as housing. Possibly reach out to people that have created the Consent and Respect training that aims to educate students on sexual assault.

Team Leader: Mary McGee

Milestones: N/A

Find and contact staff by December.

=== Tactic #2: Conduct interviews with students to see how they have been affected by discrimination, oppression, etc. ===

Description: Meet with students from all walks of life, majors, races, sexualities, etc and talk about their unique experiences.

Team Leader: Mary McGee

Milestones: N/A

Find and meet with students and faculty by January

=== Tactic #3: Partner with organizations on campus ===

Description: Develop a sense of where all the resources are and then contact each one of them to see if they are interested in working with me.

Team Leader: Mary McGee

Milestones: N/A

Develop a solid plan by February

=== '''Tactic #4: Develop the training and deliver''' ===

Description: Create a basis of what I want in the training, who should be a part of it, and how I will follow through with this training.

Team Leader: Mary McGee

Milestones: N/A

Develop a solid program by March or April so that I can start implementing for the summer.

= '''OVERVIEW''' =

Southern Illinois University Carbondale is in need of a little push towards the communal adoption of I&E. While our resources are tangible, they are vastly underutlized. It is our responsibility and intention as University Innovation Fellows to address the problem head on and with conviction. After several years of ineffective marketing attempts at the student level, it is apparent that a more proactive approach toward resource utilization needs to made. This why we are beginning to look at how SIU and other universities must adapt from outputing students under the Industrial model to fostering growth in students for the Information Age.

== Prototype 1: The Digital Humanities Lab proposed by Benjamin Bradley and Joshua Cannon ==

*Problem
**The Humanities, especially the students of the humanities, are typically distanced from conversations of innovation, and carry a stereotype depicting them as disconnected from the real world, or without job applicable skills.SIU has always provided hands on learning experiences for its students. As we move further into the digital age, it is important we continue to explore new research opportunities for our students and faculty.
*How do we know it’s a problem?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>Students in the humanities, English, history, anthropology, language studies, and the arts find an increasing number of challenges when it comes to sharing their research and its importance with a wider audience. Meanwhile, new platorms, such as podcasting, create opportunities to distribute accessible and quality works. Our time on campus students are aware of these changes and eager to explore them, and our faculty seeks to take a leadership role in guiding them.</li>

== Prototype 2:Innovation Course ==

Problem: We noticed that there were not many opportunities for students to learn about design thinking outside of the College of Business.

Solution:We want to provide an innovation course to the students of campus.

Process:The innovation course would teach students for a few weeks about design thinking and the process of creating a project. For the rest of the semester, the students are tasked with creating their own project that interests them. For example, if the student studies biology, they could task themselves with creating a research project. If the student studies business, they could create a plan to start their company. If the student studies engineering, they could create their own engineering project. At the end of the semester, the students will be required to show a detailed plan for their project or an actual product.

Target and Prototyping:The innovation course would be offered to honors students first as a testing ground. The honors students are required to take honors classes so by placing the innovation course as an honors course, there is a good chance that students will take it. After being tested as an honors course, we would like to open up the innovation course to the entire campus.

Long-term Plan: In the long run, the course could be utilized like Senior Design course but for targeted towards freshman. This would introduce freshman to design thinking as soon as they come to campus and teach students how to create their own projects. The course has the potential to mold SIU into a more innovative campus.

== '''Strategy #1 - Create A Market Demand For The I&E Resources Already Available to SIU Students''' ==

=== Tactic #1 - Host Innovation and Entrepreneurship Collaboration Activities ===

Description: Implement marketing events at this facility to demonstrate the power of possibilities when given the right tools. We need to inspire creative thinking in our students by surrounding them with a creative environment. Events will include Maker's Space projects, departmental think tanks, crowdfunding workshops, student organization meetings/events and much much more. 

Team Leader: Brandon Nolte

Milestones:

-TBD

=== Tactic #2 - Open Up Dialogue Between Colleges via Resource Network ===

Description: All too often we witness the spark in a students eye when they first realize how conceivable their bright new idea really is when they consider working with other College departments. However, more times than not, without a direct connection to desired college it can be difficult and frustrating to assemble a team. Simply cold calling a department phone number or emailing a student club should not be the only option. We propose to create comprehensive database network of involved innovators across all major departments in the univeristy. Not a directory, a network. These voluntary contacts on this database will be predetermined ambassadors of their department or group who give their permission to be contacted by fellow student innovators in search of knowledge specific to their venture. Opening up dialogue between departments for reasons outside of the classroom is a great way to collaborate on ideas. 

Team Leader: TBD

Milestones:

-TBD

== Strategy #2 - Work with University Administrators, Faculty, and Students to create a core curriculm fit for the Information Age. ==

=== Tactic #1 - Research, Design, and Implement classes and classrooms that foster Innovation, Creativity, and Engagement with real world problems. ===

Description: Makerspaces, clubs, research, and guest speakers are all great things that can add to the Innovative and Entrepreneurial environment on a college campus. However, the major determining factor for the quality of the education a student recieves is the core curriculum taught in every area of the university. By creating a future Design of what Southern Illinois University might look like, if I&E were the inspiration, SIU can begin to Implement changes in the classroom now. This includes two major changes to the current curriculum. #1 We need to go from teaching a tool based approach to teaching from a problem or goal based approach that directly engages students with a challenge. For example to learn about engines under the current model students must learn about all the tools, nuts, and bolts 1st before ever touching an engine. Under a problem based approach students are engaged with the challenge of fixing or building an engine from day 1 and they learn about the tools they need through trial and error. This process more directly engages students in critical thinking. The 2nd change that needs to occur in SIU's curriculm is to begin combining the Arts and Engineering. This does exist in a few areas on campus but the core curriculm doesn't address this need. All the great achievements of human civilization, such as the Pantheon in Rome, were built with Art, Design, and Engineering in total collaboration yet the Industrial model of most universities including SIU doesn't yet reflect this. Instead engineers and scientists are in one building and artists and designers in another, often never crossing eachothers' path inside a classroom. It's time to make a change.

=== Tactic #2 - Module Learning Classes for  Hands on Innovation Learning ===

Description: In the Fall of 2014 the Saluki Entrepreneur Corps produced and executed their first Business Start Up Module which had approximately 10 graduates who recieved certificates as Business Consultant Assistance.  This success in a small size allows the same model be applied to other discplines for similar exercies to give participants a better understanding of the need to be fully aware of the disciplines that they could work with in the future for a possible start-up.  

Team Leader: TBD

Milestones: 

-Finished our learning class in the Fall of 2014

== Strategy #3 - Join the Small Innovation Spaces on Campus Into a Large Campus Makerspace. ==

=== Tactic #1 - Get people thinking about the idea. ===

Description: Go around to all of the individual, design-based programs at the school. Introduce them to UIF, and talk to them about the benefits of pooling our resources as a campus into one large-scale Makerspace. Talk to program leaders, Deans, professors, and supportive alumni. Get the word out about what we're doing, and brainstorm ways to achieve it.  

Team Leader: Thomas Birch

Milestones:

- Make a list of relevant programs/people to talk to

- Schedule discussions and presentations

- Get ideas and support for this project

=== Tactic #2 - Collect information about people and resources ===

Description: Make a comprehensive list of the various resources that could be together in the Makerspace. For example, our campus has a small Makerspace group, a robotics club, and a Business Incubator. This will help us decide how the space will be organized to reflect the needs of the various groups using it.  

Team Leader: Thomas Birch

Milestones:

- Making a comprehensive list of the resources and innovation groups on campus

=== Tactic #3 - Make plans to build the Makerspace ===

Description: This will probably be the most challenging part of the project. We will need to find a location, figure out funding, get various permissions from the university, and get actual support and permission from the university. We will most likely try to use an existing building, as there is already limited space on campus for a new building.  

Team Leader: Thomas Birch

Milestones:

- Present plan to heads of University

- Acquire funding/support

- Work with contractors to modify/build space

- Acquire materials to fill space with

=== Tactic #4 - Utilize the Makerspace, and let it be used by students from every field ===

Description: Once the Makerspace is built, we need people to use it! The space will have spots where programs that were using their own spaces will be able to meet, and the space will have regular events. We also plan on trying to have classes centered around innovation to take place in the Makerspace.  

Team Leader: Thomas Birch

Milestones:

- Regular planned events at the Makerspace

- RSO's meet and use the Makerspace

- Makerspace is well-maintained

== Strategy #1 - Improve homelessness situation in Carbondale ==

=== Tactic #1 - Talk with city officials to incorporate more community projects around town ===

Description: Work on setting up more activities around Carbondale that provide jobs to people. Open programs that improve environment and city infastructure.

Team Leader: Robert Caswelch

Milestones:

-Contact city council about expanded workforce jobs around campus.

=== Tactic #2 - Work with students and faculty to tackle issues regarding poverty ===

Description: Student engagement could be improved on campus, so making a class project to improve living conditions in Carbondale could be a drive as it is a real world issue with real world results.

Team Leader:

Milestones:

-Talk with faculty about course curriculum

=== Tactic #3 - Use school resources to help people find possible work / better living conditions ===

Description: The library already has a program for helping people in need use resources, but this could be expanded further. Administrators or students in specific majors could meet and help people around the city of Carbondale to set goals. Setting up booths at fairs is an example of ways to reach out to the community in the city.

Team Leader: Robert Caswelch

Milestones:

-Set up booth at fair (farmers market)

== '''Strategy #2 - Tackle Social Justice in Carbondale''' ==

=== Tactic #1: Meet with resource centers/housing about how to develop a strong training ===

= '''OVERVIEW''' =

Southern Illinois University Carbondale is in need of a little push towards the communal adoption of I&E. While our resources are tangible, they are vastly underutlized. It is our responsibility and intention as University Innovation Fellows to address the problem head on and with conviction. After several years of ineffective marketing attempts at the student level, it is apparent that a more proactive approach toward resource utilization needs to made. This why we are beginning to look at how SIU and other universities must adapt from outputing students under the Industrial model to fostering growth in students for the Information Age.

The Humanities, especially the students of the humanities, are typically distanced from conversations of innovation, and carry a stereotype depicting them as disconnected from the real world, or without job applicable skills.SIU has always provided hands on learning experiences for its students. As we move further into the digital age, it is important we continue to explore new research opportunities for our students and faculty.
<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>How do we know it’s a problem?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>Students in the humanities, English, history, anthropology, language studies, and the arts find an increasing number of challenges when it comes to sharing their research and its importance with a wider audience. Meanwhile, new platorms, such as podcasting, create opportunities to distribute accessible and quality works. Our time on campus students are aware of these changes and eager to explore them, and our faculty seeks to take a leadership role in guiding them.</li>

This leads not only to greater student success, but also helps seperate SIU from its regional competition. We have the utmost confidence in our project and look forward to seeing it succeed.

== Prototype 2:Innovation Course ==

Problem: We noticed that there were not many opportunities for students to learn about design thinking outside of the College of Business.

Solution:We want to provide an innovation course to the students of campus.

Process:The innovation course would teach students for a few weeks about design thinking and the process of creating a project. For the rest of the semester, the students are tasked with creating their own project that interests them. For example, if the student studies biology, they could task themselves with creating a research project. If the student studies business, they could create a plan to start their company. If the student studies engineering, they could create their own engineering project. At the end of the semester, the students will be required to show a detailed plan for their project or an actual product.

Target and Prototyping:The innovation course would be offered to honors students first as a testing ground. The honors students are required to take honors classes so by placing the innovation course as an honors course, there is a good chance that students will take it. After being tested as an honors course, we would like to open up the innovation course to the entire campus.

Long-term Plan: In the long run, the course could be utilized like Senior Design course but for targeted towards freshman. This would introduce freshman to design thinking as soon as they come to campus and teach students how to create their own projects. The course has the potential to mold SIU into a more innovative campus.

</ul></li>
<li>Who will it help?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>This tool will help students of every classification by providing them a place to turn to for any Southern Illinois University related question. This will streamline the process of students trying to find out who can answer their specific questions.</li>
</ul></li>
<li>What will it include?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>We would keep the concept simple with a bar to type in questions on the homepage of D2L. There would be a FAQ link under the bar with questions that have been answered and their corresponding answers. When a question is answered, an email will be sent to the student and also go into the FAQ bank for other students to access.</li>

<li>Will it work?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>We discussed this idea with one of our stakeholders that is in charge of the Desire to Learn (D2L) platform, who reacted positively to the proposal. She offered to help us redesign the homepage of D2L to include a question bar with a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) resource link under it. Due to our SIU emails being linked to our D2L accounts, designated staff can respond through email and list the answer on the FAQ page.</li>

<li>How do we know it’s a problem?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>We’ve gone through UCOL first hand and realized that it should not be as broadly structured as it was. We all agree that it should be tailored towards your specific field of study. --- How might we give students the resources to get answers? ---</li>

</ul></li>
<li><span style="background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap">Major Specific Introductory Course ( UCOL )<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>What is it?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>After reflecting heavily on our personal experiences with the current structure of UCOL, we will modify the curriculum that is taught to the students to be major specific. Through this modification of curriculum, we will guide teachers of the UCOL course to connect those students towards related RSO’s and other major related organizations and opportunities on campus.</li>
</ul></li>
<li>What does it need to be implemented?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>This project will require no funding. A slight shift in the way the class is taught, along with some work with the universities registrar office, we will be able to move students into their Major Specific Introductory course for nothing more than a little hard work.</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Who will it help?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>This will help students who are not wanting too broad of an overview of campus and the resources on it. The students who will come into the university with an understanding of what they want to do in their major will be able to accomplish that by being given knowledge about opportunities in their major.</li>
<li></li>
</ul></li>
<li>What will it include?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>It will include a structured list of major related RSO’s and opportunities within the university and around the southern Illinois region. The course will be structured in a way that the students are required to go out and actually interact with peers and faculty in their major.</li>

= Fall 2017 Student Strategies =

== '''Strategy #1 - Create A Market Demand For The I&E Resources Already Available to SIU Students''' ==

=== Tactic #1 - Host Innovation and Entrepreneurship Collaboration Activities ===

Description: Implement marketing events at this facility to demonstrate the power of possibilities when given the right tools. We need to inspire creative thinking in our students by surrounding them with a creative environment. Events will include Maker's Space projects, departmental think tanks, crowdfunding workshops, student organization meetings/events and much much more. 

Team Leader: Brandon Nolte

Milestones:

-TBD

=== Tactic #2 - Open Up Dialogue Between Colleges via Resource Network ===

Description: All too often we witness the spark in a students eye when they first realize how conceivable their bright new idea really is when they consider working with other College departments. However, more times than not, without a direct connection to desired college it can be difficult and frustrating to assemble a team. Simply cold calling a department phone number or emailing a student club should not be the only option. We propose to create comprehensive database network of involved innovators across all major departments in the univeristy. Not a directory, a network. These voluntary contacts on this database will be predetermined ambassadors of their department or group who give their permission to be contacted by fellow student innovators in search of knowledge specific to their venture. Opening up dialogue between departments for reasons outside of the classroom is a great way to collaborate on ideas. 

Team Leader: TBD

Milestones:

-TBD

== Strategy #2 - Work with University Administrators, Faculty, and Students to create a core curriculm fit for the Information Age. ==

=== Tactic #1 - Research, Design, and Implement classes and classrooms that foster Innovation, Creativity, and Engagement with real world problems. ===

Description: Makerspaces, clubs, research, and guest speakers are all great things that can add to the Innovative and Entrepreneurial environment on a college campus. However, the major determining factor for the quality of the education a student recieves is the core curriculum taught in every area of the university. By creating a future Design of what Southern Illinois University might look like, if I&E were the inspiration, SIU can begin to Implement changes in the classroom now. This includes two major changes to the current curriculum. #1 We need to go from teaching a tool based approach to teaching from a problem or goal based approach that directly engages students with a challenge. For example to learn about engines under the current model students must learn about all the tools, nuts, and bolts 1st before ever touching an engine. Under a problem based approach students are engaged with the challenge of fixing or building an engine from day 1 and they learn about the tools they need through trial and error. This process more directly engages students in critical thinking. The 2nd change that needs to occur in SIU's curriculm is to begin combining the Arts and Engineering. This does exist in a few areas on campus but the core curriculm doesn't address this need. All the great achievements of human civilization, such as the Pantheon in Rome, were built with Art, Design, and Engineering in total collaboration yet the Industrial model of most universities including SIU doesn't yet reflect this. Instead engineers and scientists are in one building and artists and designers in another, often never crossing eachothers' path inside a classroom. It's time to make a change.

Team Leader: Dan Bach

Milestones:

-TBD

=== Tactic #2 - Module Learning Classes for  Hands on Innovation Learning ===

Description: In the Fall of 2014 the Saluki Entrepreneur Corps produced and executed their first Business Start Up Module which had approximately 10 graduates who recieved certificates as Business Consultant Assistance.  This success in a small size allows the same model be applied to other discplines for similar exercies to give participants a better understanding of the need to be fully aware of the disciplines that they could work with in the future for a possible start-up.  

Team Leader: TBD

Milestones: 

-Finished our learning class in the Fall of 2014

== Strategy #3 - Join the Small Innovation Spaces on Campus Into a Large Campus Makerspace. ==

=== Tactic #1 - Get people thinking about the idea. ===

Description: Go around to all of the individual, design-based programs at the school. Introduce them to UIF, and talk to them about the benefits of pooling our resources as a campus into one large-scale Makerspace. Talk to program leaders, Deans, professors, and supportive alumni. Get the word out about what we're doing, and brainstorm ways to achieve it.  

Team Leader: Thomas Birch

Milestones:

- Make a list of relevant programs/people to talk to

- Schedule discussions and presentations

- Get ideas and support for this project

=== Tactic #2 - Collect information about people and resources ===

Description: Make a comprehensive list of the various resources that could be together in the Makerspace. For example, our campus has a small Makerspace group, a robotics club, and a Business Incubator. This will help us decide how the space will be organized to reflect the needs of the various groups using it.  

Team Leader: Thomas Birch

Milestones:

- Making a comprehensive list of the resources and innovation groups on campus

=== Tactic #3 - Make plans to build the Makerspace ===

Description: This will probably be the most challenging part of the project. We will need to find a location, figure out funding, get various permissions from the university, and get actual support and permission from the university. We will most likely try to use an existing building, as there is already limited space on campus for a new building.  

Team Leader: Thomas Birch

Milestones:

- Present plan to heads of University

- Acquire funding/support

- Work with contractors to modify/build space

- Acquire materials to fill space with

=== Tactic #4 - Utilize the Makerspace, and let it be used by students from every field ===

Description: Once the Makerspace is built, we need people to use it! The space will have spots where programs that were using their own spaces will be able to meet, and the space will have regular events. We also plan on trying to have classes centered around innovation to take place in the Makerspace.  

Team Leader: Thomas Birch

Milestones:

- Regular planned events at the Makerspace

- RSO's meet and use the Makerspace

- Makerspace is well-maintained

= Fall 2016 Student Strategies =

== Strategy #1 - Improve homelessness situation in Carbondale ==

=== Tactic #1 - Talk with city officials to incorporate more community projects around town ===

Description: Work on setting up more activities around Carbondale that provide jobs to people. Open programs that improve environment and city infastructure.

Team Leader: Robert Caswelch

Milestones:

-Contact city council about expanded workforce jobs around campus.

=== Tactic #2 - Work with students and faculty to tackle issues regarding poverty ===

Description: Student engagement could be improved on campus, so making a class project to improve living conditions in Carbondale could be a drive as it is a real world issue with real world results.

Team Leader:

Milestones:

-Talk with faculty about course curriculum

=== Tactic #3 - Use school resources to help people find possible work / better living conditions ===

Description: The library already has a program for helping people in need use resources, but this could be expanded further. Administrators or students in specific majors could meet and help people around the city of Carbondale to set goals. Setting up booths at fairs is an example of ways to reach out to the community in the city.

Team Leader: Robert Caswelch

Milestones:

-Set up booth at fair (farmers market)

== '''Strategy #2 - Tackle Social Justice in Carbondale''' ==

=== Tactic #1: Meet with resource centers/housing about how to develop a strong training ===

Description: Reach out to multiple resource centers on campus as well as housing. Possibly reach out to people that have created the Consent and Respect training that aims to educate students on sexual assault.

Team Leader: Mary McGee

Milestones: N/A

Find and contact staff by December.

=== Tactic #2: Conduct interviews with students to see how they have been affected by discrimination, oppression, etc. ===

Description: Meet with students from all walks of life, majors, races, sexualities, etc and talk about their unique experiences.

Team Leader: Mary McGee

Milestones: N/A

Find and meet with students and faculty by January

=== Tactic #3: Partner with organizations on campus ===

Description: Develop a sense of where all the resources are and then contact each one of them to see if they are interested in working with me.

Team Leader: Mary McGee

Milestones: N/A

Develop a solid plan by February

=== '''Tactic #4: Develop the training and deliver''' ===

Description: Create a basis of what I want in the training, who should be a part of it, and how I will follow through with this training.

Team Leader: Mary McGee

Milestones: N/A

Develop a solid program by March or April so that I can start implementing for the summer.

= '''OVERVIEW''' =

Southern Illinois University Carbondale is in need of a little push towards the communal adoption of I&E. While our resources are tangible, they are vastly underutlized. It is our responsibility and intention as University Innovation Fellows to address the problem head on and with conviction. After several years of ineffective marketing attempts at the student level, it is apparent that a more proactive approach toward resource utilization needs to made. This why we are beginning to look at how SIU and other universities must adapt from outputing students under the Industrial model to fostering growth in students for the Information Age.

== Prototype 2:Innovation Course ==

Problem: We noticed that there were not many opportunities for students to learn about design thinking outside of the College of Business.

Solution:We want to provide an innovation course to the students of campus.

Process:The innovation course would teach students for a few weeks about design thinking and the process of creating a project. For the rest of the semester, the students are tasked with creating their own project that interests them. For example, if the student studies biology, they could task themselves with creating a research project. If the student studies business, they could create a plan to start their company. If the student studies engineering, they could create their own engineering project. At the end of the semester, the students will be required to show a detailed plan for their project or an actual product.

Target and Prototyping:The innovation course would be offered to honors students first as a testing ground. The honors students are required to take honors classes so by placing the innovation course as an honors course, there is a good chance that students will take it. After being tested as an honors course, we would like to open up the innovation course to the entire campus.

Long-term Plan: In the long run, the course could be utilized like Senior Design course but for targeted towards freshman. This would introduce freshman to design thinking as soon as they come to campus and teach students how to create their own projects. The course has the potential to mold SIU into a more innovative campus.

<li></li>
</ul></li>
<li>What will it include?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>It will include a structured list of major related RSO’s and opportunities within the university and around the southern Illinois region. The course will be structured in a way that the students are required to go out and actually interact with peers and faculty in their major.</li>

== '''Strategy #1 - Create A Market Demand For The I&E Resources Already Available to SIU Students''' ==

=== Tactic #1 - Host Innovation and Entrepreneurship Collaboration Activities ===

Description: Implement marketing events at this facility to demonstrate the power of possibilities when given the right tools. We need to inspire creative thinking in our students by surrounding them with a creative environment. Events will include Maker's Space projects, departmental think tanks, crowdfunding workshops, student organization meetings/events and much much more. 

Team Leader: Brandon Nolte

Milestones:

-TBD

=== Tactic #2 - Open Up Dialogue Between Colleges via Resource Network ===

Description: All too often we witness the spark in a students eye when they first realize how conceivable their bright new idea really is when they consider working with other College departments. However, more times than not, without a direct connection to desired college it can be difficult and frustrating to assemble a team. Simply cold calling a department phone number or emailing a student club should not be the only option. We propose to create comprehensive database network of involved innovators across all major departments in the univeristy. Not a directory, a network. These voluntary contacts on this database will be predetermined ambassadors of their department or group who give their permission to be contacted by fellow student innovators in search of knowledge specific to their venture. Opening up dialogue between departments for reasons outside of the classroom is a great way to collaborate on ideas. 

Team Leader: TBD

Milestones:

-TBD

== Strategy #2 - Work with University Administrators, Faculty, and Students to create a core curriculm fit for the Information Age. ==

=== Tactic #1 - Research, Design, and Implement classes and classrooms that foster Innovation, Creativity, and Engagement with real world problems. ===

Description: Makerspaces, clubs, research, and guest speakers are all great things that can add to the Innovative and Entrepreneurial environment on a college campus. However, the major determining factor for the quality of the education a student recieves is the core curriculum taught in every area of the university. By creating a future Design of what Southern Illinois University might look like, if I&E were the inspiration, SIU can begin to Implement changes in the classroom now. This includes two major changes to the current curriculum. #1 We need to go from teaching a tool based approach to teaching from a problem or goal based approach that directly engages students with a challenge. For example to learn about engines under the current model students must learn about all the tools, nuts, and bolts 1st before ever touching an engine. Under a problem based approach students are engaged with the challenge of fixing or building an engine from day 1 and they learn about the tools they need through trial and error. This process more directly engages students in critical thinking. The 2nd change that needs to occur in SIU's curriculm is to begin combining the Arts and Engineering. This does exist in a few areas on campus but the core curriculm doesn't address this need. All the great achievements of human civilization, such as the Pantheon in Rome, were built with Art, Design, and Engineering in total collaboration yet the Industrial model of most universities including SIU doesn't yet reflect this. Instead engineers and scientists are in one building and artists and designers in another, often never crossing eachothers' path inside a classroom. It's time to make a change.

=== Tactic #2 - Module Learning Classes for  Hands on Innovation Learning ===

Description: In the Fall of 2014 the Saluki Entrepreneur Corps produced and executed their first Business Start Up Module which had approximately 10 graduates who recieved certificates as Business Consultant Assistance.  This success in a small size allows the same model be applied to other discplines for similar exercies to give participants a better understanding of the need to be fully aware of the disciplines that they could work with in the future for a possible start-up.  

Team Leader: TBD

Milestones: 

-Finished our learning class in the Fall of 2014

== Strategy #3 - Join the Small Innovation Spaces on Campus Into a Large Campus Makerspace. ==

=== Tactic #1 - Get people thinking about the idea. ===

Description: Go around to all of the individual, design-based programs at the school. Introduce them to UIF, and talk to them about the benefits of pooling our resources as a campus into one large-scale Makerspace. Talk to program leaders, Deans, professors, and supportive alumni. Get the word out about what we're doing, and brainstorm ways to achieve it.  

Team Leader: Thomas Birch

Milestones:

- Make a list of relevant programs/people to talk to

- Schedule discussions and presentations

- Get ideas and support for this project

=== Tactic #2 - Collect information about people and resources ===

Description: Make a comprehensive list of the various resources that could be together in the Makerspace. For example, our campus has a small Makerspace group, a robotics club, and a Business Incubator. This will help us decide how the space will be organized to reflect the needs of the various groups using it.  

Team Leader: Thomas Birch

Milestones:

- Making a comprehensive list of the resources and innovation groups on campus

=== Tactic #3 - Make plans to build the Makerspace ===

Description: This will probably be the most challenging part of the project. We will need to find a location, figure out funding, get various permissions from the university, and get actual support and permission from the university. We will most likely try to use an existing building, as there is already limited space on campus for a new building.  

Team Leader: Thomas Birch

Milestones:

- Present plan to heads of University

- Acquire funding/support

- Work with contractors to modify/build space

- Acquire materials to fill space with

=== Tactic #4 - Utilize the Makerspace, and let it be used by students from every field ===

Description: Once the Makerspace is built, we need people to use it! The space will have spots where programs that were using their own spaces will be able to meet, and the space will have regular events. We also plan on trying to have classes centered around innovation to take place in the Makerspace.  

Team Leader: Thomas Birch

Milestones:

- Regular planned events at the Makerspace

- RSO's meet and use the Makerspace

- Makerspace is well-maintained

== Strategy #1 - Improve homelessness situation in Carbondale ==

=== Tactic #1 - Talk with city officials to incorporate more community projects around town ===

Description: Work on setting up more activities around Carbondale that provide jobs to people. Open programs that improve environment and city infastructure.

Team Leader: Robert Caswelch

Milestones:

-Contact city council about expanded workforce jobs around campus.

=== Tactic #2 - Work with students and faculty to tackle issues regarding poverty ===

Description: Student engagement could be improved on campus, so making a class project to improve living conditions in Carbondale could be a drive as it is a real world issue with real world results.

Team Leader:

Milestones:

-Talk with faculty about course curriculum

=== Tactic #3 - Use school resources to help people find possible work / better living conditions ===

Description: The library already has a program for helping people in need use resources, but this could be expanded further. Administrators or students in specific majors could meet and help people around the city of Carbondale to set goals. Setting up booths at fairs is an example of ways to reach out to the community in the city.

Team Leader: Robert Caswelch

Milestones:

-Set up booth at fair (farmers market)

== '''Strategy #2 - Tackle Social Justice in Carbondale''' ==

=== Tactic #1: Meet with resource centers/housing about how to develop a strong training ===

= '''OVERVIEW''' =

Southern Illinois University Carbondale is in need of a little push towards the communal adoption of I&E. While our resources are tangible, they are vastly underutlized. It is our responsibility and intention as University Innovation Fellows to address the problem head on and with conviction. After several years of ineffective marketing attempts at the student level, it is apparent that a more proactive approach toward resource utilization needs to made. This why we are beginning to look at how SIU and other universities must adapt from outputing students under the Industrial model to fostering growth in students for the Information Age.

When we presented this idea to one of our stakeholders, she responded positively to the lack of cost involved.</li>

== Prototype 2:Innovation Course ==

Problem: We noticed that there were not many opportunities for students to learn about design thinking outside of the College of Business.

Solution:We want to provide an innovation course to the students of campus.

Process:The innovation course would teach students for a few weeks about design thinking and the process of creating a project. For the rest of the semester, the students are tasked with creating their own project that interests them. For example, if the student studies biology, they could task themselves with creating a research project. If the student studies business, they could create a plan to start their company. If the student studies engineering, they could create their own engineering project. At the end of the semester, the students will be required to show a detailed plan for their project or an actual product.

Target and Prototyping:The innovation course would be offered to honors students first as a testing ground. The honors students are required to take honors classes so by placing the innovation course as an honors course, there is a good chance that students will take it. After being tested as an honors course, we would like to open up the innovation course to the entire campus.

Long-term Plan: In the long run, the course could be utilized like Senior Design course but for targeted towards freshman. This would introduce freshman to design thinking as soon as they come to campus and teach students how to create their own projects. The course has the potential to mold SIU into a more innovative campus.

</ul></li>
<li>Who will it help?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>This tool will help students of every classification by providing them a place to turn to for any Southern Illinois University related question. This will streamline the process of students trying to find out who can answer their specific questions.</li>
</ul></li>
<li>What will it include?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>We would keep the concept simple with a bar to type in questions on the homepage of D2L. There would be a FAQ link under the bar with questions that have been answered and their corresponding answers. When a question is answered, an email will be sent to the student and also go into the FAQ bank for other students to access.</li>
</ul></li>
</ul></li>
<li>Will it work?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>We discussed this idea with one of our stakeholders that is in charge of the Desire to Learn (D2L) platform, who reacted positively to the proposal. She offered to help us redesign the homepage of D2L to include a question bar with a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) resource link under it. Due to our SIU emails being linked to our D2L accounts, designated staff can respond through email and list the answer on the FAQ page.</li>

== Prototype 4:Major Specific Introductory Course ( UCOL ) ==
<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>Problem<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>Students from all different majors are placed into the same University introductory course, yet they all have different interests.<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>How do we know it’s a problem?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>We’ve gone through UCOL first hand and realized that it should not be as broadly structured as it was. We all agree that it should be tailored towards your specific field of study. --- How might we give students the resources to get answers? ---</li>
</ul></li>
</ul></li>
<li><span style="background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap">Major Specific Introductory Course ( UCOL )<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>What is it?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>After reflecting heavily on our personal experiences with the current structure of UCOL, we will modify the curriculum that is taught to the students to be major specific. Through this modification of curriculum, we will guide teachers of the UCOL course to connect those students towards related RSO’s and other major related organizations and opportunities on campus.</li>
</ul></li>
<li>What does it need to be implemented?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>This project will require no funding. A slight shift in the way the class is taught, along with some work with the universities registrar office, we will be able to move students into their Major Specific Introductory course for nothing more than a little hard work.</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Who will it help?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>This will help students who are not wanting too broad of an overview of campus and the resources on it. The students who will come into the university with an understanding of what they want to do in their major will be able to accomplish that by being given knowledge about opportunities in their major.</li>
<li></li>
</ul></li>
<li>What will it include?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>It will include a structured list of major related RSO’s and opportunities within the university and around the southern Illinois region. The course will be structured in a way that the students are required to go out and actually interact with peers and faculty in their major.</li>

= Fall 2017 Student Strategies =

== '''Strategy #1 - Create A Market Demand For The I&E Resources Already Available to SIU Students''' ==

=== Tactic #1 - Host Innovation and Entrepreneurship Collaboration Activities ===

Description: Implement marketing events at this facility to demonstrate the power of possibilities when given the right tools. We need to inspire creative thinking in our students by surrounding them with a creative environment. Events will include Maker's Space projects, departmental think tanks, crowdfunding workshops, student organization meetings/events and much much more. 

Team Leader: Brandon Nolte

Milestones:

-TBD

=== Tactic #2 - Open Up Dialogue Between Colleges via Resource Network ===

Description: All too often we witness the spark in a students eye when they first realize how conceivable their bright new idea really is when they consider working with other College departments. However, more times than not, without a direct connection to desired college it can be difficult and frustrating to assemble a team. Simply cold calling a department phone number or emailing a student club should not be the only option. We propose to create comprehensive database network of involved innovators across all major departments in the univeristy. Not a directory, a network. These voluntary contacts on this database will be predetermined ambassadors of their department or group who give their permission to be contacted by fellow student innovators in search of knowledge specific to their venture. Opening up dialogue between departments for reasons outside of the classroom is a great way to collaborate on ideas. 

Team Leader: TBD

Milestones:

-TBD

== Strategy #2 - Work with University Administrators, Faculty, and Students to create a core curriculm fit for the Information Age. ==

=== Tactic #1 - Research, Design, and Implement classes and classrooms that foster Innovation, Creativity, and Engagement with real world problems. ===

Description: Makerspaces, clubs, research, and guest speakers are all great things that can add to the Innovative and Entrepreneurial environment on a college campus. However, the major determining factor for the quality of the education a student recieves is the core curriculum taught in every area of the university. By creating a future Design of what Southern Illinois University might look like, if I&E were the inspiration, SIU can begin to Implement changes in the classroom now. This includes two major changes to the current curriculum. #1 We need to go from teaching a tool based approach to teaching from a problem or goal based approach that directly engages students with a challenge. For example to learn about engines under the current model students must learn about all the tools, nuts, and bolts 1st before ever touching an engine. Under a problem based approach students are engaged with the challenge of fixing or building an engine from day 1 and they learn about the tools they need through trial and error. This process more directly engages students in critical thinking. The 2nd change that needs to occur in SIU's curriculm is to begin combining the Arts and Engineering. This does exist in a few areas on campus but the core curriculm doesn't address this need. All the great achievements of human civilization, such as the Pantheon in Rome, were built with Art, Design, and Engineering in total collaboration yet the Industrial model of most universities including SIU doesn't yet reflect this. Instead engineers and scientists are in one building and artists and designers in another, often never crossing eachothers' path inside a classroom. It's time to make a change.

Team Leader: Dan Bach

Milestones:

-TBD

=== Tactic #2 - Module Learning Classes for  Hands on Innovation Learning ===

Description: In the Fall of 2014 the Saluki Entrepreneur Corps produced and executed their first Business Start Up Module which had approximately 10 graduates who recieved certificates as Business Consultant Assistance.  This success in a small size allows the same model be applied to other discplines for similar exercies to give participants a better understanding of the need to be fully aware of the disciplines that they could work with in the future for a possible start-up.  

Team Leader: TBD

Milestones: 

-Finished our learning class in the Fall of 2014

== Strategy #3 - Join the Small Innovation Spaces on Campus Into a Large Campus Makerspace. ==

=== Tactic #1 - Get people thinking about the idea. ===

Description: Go around to all of the individual, design-based programs at the school. Introduce them to UIF, and talk to them about the benefits of pooling our resources as a campus into one large-scale Makerspace. Talk to program leaders, Deans, professors, and supportive alumni. Get the word out about what we're doing, and brainstorm ways to achieve it.  

Team Leader: Thomas Birch

Milestones:

- Make a list of relevant programs/people to talk to

- Schedule discussions and presentations

- Get ideas and support for this project

=== Tactic #2 - Collect information about people and resources ===

Description: Make a comprehensive list of the various resources that could be together in the Makerspace. For example, our campus has a small Makerspace group, a robotics club, and a Business Incubator. This will help us decide how the space will be organized to reflect the needs of the various groups using it.  

Team Leader: Thomas Birch

Milestones:

- Making a comprehensive list of the resources and innovation groups on campus

=== Tactic #3 - Make plans to build the Makerspace ===

Description: This will probably be the most challenging part of the project. We will need to find a location, figure out funding, get various permissions from the university, and get actual support and permission from the university. We will most likely try to use an existing building, as there is already limited space on campus for a new building.  

Team Leader: Thomas Birch

Milestones:

- Present plan to heads of University

- Acquire funding/support

- Work with contractors to modify/build space

- Acquire materials to fill space with

=== Tactic #4 - Utilize the Makerspace, and let it be used by students from every field ===

Description: Once the Makerspace is built, we need people to use it! The space will have spots where programs that were using their own spaces will be able to meet, and the space will have regular events. We also plan on trying to have classes centered around innovation to take place in the Makerspace.  

Team Leader: Thomas Birch

Milestones:

- Regular planned events at the Makerspace

- RSO's meet and use the Makerspace

- Makerspace is well-maintained

= Fall 2016 Student Strategies =

== Strategy #1 - Improve homelessness situation in Carbondale ==

=== Tactic #1 - Talk with city officials to incorporate more community projects around town ===

Description: Work on setting up more activities around Carbondale that provide jobs to people. Open programs that improve environment and city infastructure.

Team Leader: Robert Caswelch

Milestones:

-Contact city council about expanded workforce jobs around campus.

=== Tactic #2 - Work with students and faculty to tackle issues regarding poverty ===

Description: Student engagement could be improved on campus, so making a class project to improve living conditions in Carbondale could be a drive as it is a real world issue with real world results.

Team Leader:

Milestones:

-Talk with faculty about course curriculum

=== Tactic #3 - Use school resources to help people find possible work / better living conditions ===

Description: The library already has a program for helping people in need use resources, but this could be expanded further. Administrators or students in specific majors could meet and help people around the city of Carbondale to set goals. Setting up booths at fairs is an example of ways to reach out to the community in the city.

Team Leader: Robert Caswelch

Milestones:

-Set up booth at fair (farmers market)

== '''Strategy #2 - Tackle Social Justice in Carbondale''' ==

=== Tactic #1: Meet with resource centers/housing about how to develop a strong training ===

Description: Reach out to multiple resource centers on campus as well as housing. Possibly reach out to people that have created the Consent and Respect training that aims to educate students on sexual assault.

Team Leader: Mary McGee

Milestones: N/A

Find and contact staff by December.

=== Tactic #2: Conduct interviews with students to see how they have been affected by discrimination, oppression, etc. ===

Description: Meet with students from all walks of life, majors, races, sexualities, etc and talk about their unique experiences.

Team Leader: Mary McGee

Milestones: N/A

Find and meet with students and faculty by January

=== Tactic #3: Partner with organizations on campus ===

Description: Develop a sense of where all the resources are and then contact each one of them to see if they are interested in working with me.

Team Leader: Mary McGee

Milestones: N/A

Develop a solid plan by February

=== '''Tactic #4: Develop the training and deliver''' ===

Description: Create a basis of what I want in the training, who should be a part of it, and how I will follow through with this training.

Team Leader: Mary McGee

Milestones: N/A

Develop a solid program by March or April so that I can start implementing for the summer.

= '''OVERVIEW''' =

Southern Illinois University Carbondale is in need of a little push towards the communal adoption of I&E. While our resources are tangible, they are vastly underutlized. It is our responsibility and intention as University Innovation Fellows to address the problem head on and with conviction. After several years of ineffective marketing attempts at the student level, it is apparent that a more proactive approach toward resource utilization needs to made. This why we are beginning to look at how SIU and other universities must adapt from outputing students under the Industrial model to fostering growth in students for the Information Age.

== Prototype 2:Innovation Course ==

Problem: We noticed that there were not many opportunities for students to learn about design thinking outside of the College of Business.

Solution:We want to provide an innovation course to the students of campus.

Process:The innovation course would teach students for a few weeks about design thinking and the process of creating a project. For the rest of the semester, the students are tasked with creating their own project that interests them. For example, if the student studies biology, they could task themselves with creating a research project. If the student studies business, they could create a plan to start their company. If the student studies engineering, they could create their own engineering project. At the end of the semester, the students will be required to show a detailed plan for their project or an actual product.

Target and Prototyping:The innovation course would be offered to honors students first as a testing ground. The honors students are required to take honors classes so by placing the innovation course as an honors course, there is a good chance that students will take it. After being tested as an honors course, we would like to open up the innovation course to the entire campus.

Long-term Plan: In the long run, the course could be utilized like Senior Design course but for targeted towards freshman. This would introduce freshman to design thinking as soon as they come to campus and teach students how to create their own projects. The course has the potential to mold SIU into a more innovative campus.

<li>We discussed this idea with one of our stakeholders that is in charge of the Desire to Learn (D2L) platform, who reacted positively to the proposal. She offered to help us redesign the homepage of D2L to include a question bar with a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) resource link under it. Due to our SIU emails being linked to our D2L accounts, designated staff can respond through email and list the answer on the FAQ page.</li>

</ul></li>
<li>What does it need to be implemented?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>This project will require no funding. A slight shift in the way the class is taught, along with some work with the universities registrar office, we will be able to move students into their Major Specific Introductory course for nothing more than a little hard work.</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Who will it help?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>This will help students who are not wanting too broad of an overview of campus and the resources on it. The students who will come into the university with an understanding of what they want to do in their major will be able to accomplish that by being given knowledge about opportunities in their major.</li>
<li></li>
</ul></li>
<li>What will it include?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>It will include a structured list of major related RSO’s and opportunities within the university and around the southern Illinois region. The course will be structured in a way that the students are required to go out and actually interact with peers and faculty in their major.</li>

= Fall 2017 Student Strategies =

== '''Strategy #1 - Create A Market Demand For The I&E Resources Already Available to SIU Students''' ==

=== Tactic #1 - Host Innovation and Entrepreneurship Collaboration Activities ===

Description: Implement marketing events at this facility to demonstrate the power of possibilities when given the right tools. We need to inspire creative thinking in our students by surrounding them with a creative environment. Events will include Maker's Space projects, departmental think tanks, crowdfunding workshops, student organization meetings/events and much much more. 

Team Leader: Brandon Nolte

Milestones:

-TBD

=== Tactic #2 - Open Up Dialogue Between Colleges via Resource Network ===

Description: All too often we witness the spark in a students eye when they first realize how conceivable their bright new idea really is when they consider working with other College departments. However, more times than not, without a direct connection to desired college it can be difficult and frustrating to assemble a team. Simply cold calling a department phone number or emailing a student club should not be the only option. We propose to create comprehensive database network of involved innovators across all major departments in the univeristy. Not a directory, a network. These voluntary contacts on this database will be predetermined ambassadors of their department or group who give their permission to be contacted by fellow student innovators in search of knowledge specific to their venture. Opening up dialogue between departments for reasons outside of the classroom is a great way to collaborate on ideas. 

Team Leader: TBD

Milestones:

-TBD

== Strategy #2 - Work with University Administrators, Faculty, and Students to create a core curriculm fit for the Information Age. ==

=== Tactic #1 - Research, Design, and Implement classes and classrooms that foster Innovation, Creativity, and Engagement with real world problems. ===

Description: Makerspaces, clubs, research, and guest speakers are all great things that can add to the Innovative and Entrepreneurial environment on a college campus. However, the major determining factor for the quality of the education a student recieves is the core curriculum taught in every area of the university. By creating a future Design of what Southern Illinois University might look like, if I&E were the inspiration, SIU can begin to Implement changes in the classroom now. This includes two major changes to the current curriculum. #1 We need to go from teaching a tool based approach to teaching from a problem or goal based approach that directly engages students with a challenge. For example to learn about engines under the current model students must learn about all the tools, nuts, and bolts 1st before ever touching an engine. Under a problem based approach students are engaged with the challenge of fixing or building an engine from day 1 and they learn about the tools they need through trial and error. This process more directly engages students in critical thinking. The 2nd change that needs to occur in SIU's curriculm is to begin combining the Arts and Engineering. This does exist in a few areas on campus but the core curriculm doesn't address this need. All the great achievements of human civilization, such as the Pantheon in Rome, were built with Art, Design, and Engineering in total collaboration yet the Industrial model of most universities including SIU doesn't yet reflect this. Instead engineers and scientists are in one building and artists and designers in another, often never crossing eachothers' path inside a classroom. It's time to make a change.

=== Tactic #2 - Module Learning Classes for  Hands on Innovation Learning ===

Description: In the Fall of 2014 the Saluki Entrepreneur Corps produced and executed their first Business Start Up Module which had approximately 10 graduates who recieved certificates as Business Consultant Assistance.  This success in a small size allows the same model be applied to other discplines for similar exercies to give participants a better understanding of the need to be fully aware of the disciplines that they could work with in the future for a possible start-up.  

Team Leader: TBD

Milestones: 

-Finished our learning class in the Fall of 2014

== Strategy #3 - Join the Small Innovation Spaces on Campus Into a Large Campus Makerspace. ==

=== Tactic #1 - Get people thinking about the idea. ===

Description: Go around to all of the individual, design-based programs at the school. Introduce them to UIF, and talk to them about the benefits of pooling our resources as a campus into one large-scale Makerspace. Talk to program leaders, Deans, professors, and supportive alumni. Get the word out about what we're doing, and brainstorm ways to achieve it.  

Team Leader: Thomas Birch

Milestones:

- Make a list of relevant programs/people to talk to

- Schedule discussions and presentations

- Get ideas and support for this project

=== Tactic #2 - Collect information about people and resources ===

Description: Make a comprehensive list of the various resources that could be together in the Makerspace. For example, our campus has a small Makerspace group, a robotics club, and a Business Incubator. This will help us decide how the space will be organized to reflect the needs of the various groups using it.  

Team Leader: Thomas Birch

Milestones:

- Making a comprehensive list of the resources and innovation groups on campus

=== Tactic #3 - Make plans to build the Makerspace ===

Description: This will probably be the most challenging part of the project. We will need to find a location, figure out funding, get various permissions from the university, and get actual support and permission from the university. We will most likely try to use an existing building, as there is already limited space on campus for a new building.  

Team Leader: Thomas Birch

Milestones:

- Present plan to heads of University

- Acquire funding/support

- Work with contractors to modify/build space

- Acquire materials to fill space with

=== Tactic #4 - Utilize the Makerspace, and let it be used by students from every field ===

Description: Once the Makerspace is built, we need people to use it! The space will have spots where programs that were using their own spaces will be able to meet, and the space will have regular events. We also plan on trying to have classes centered around innovation to take place in the Makerspace.  

Team Leader: Thomas Birch

Milestones:

- Regular planned events at the Makerspace

- RSO's meet and use the Makerspace

- Makerspace is well-maintained

== Strategy #1 - Improve homelessness situation in Carbondale ==

=== Tactic #1 - Talk with city officials to incorporate more community projects around town ===

Description: Work on setting up more activities around Carbondale that provide jobs to people. Open programs that improve environment and city infastructure.

Team Leader: Robert Caswelch

Milestones:

-Contact city council about expanded workforce jobs around campus.

=== Tactic #2 - Work with students and faculty to tackle issues regarding poverty ===

Description: Student engagement could be improved on campus, so making a class project to improve living conditions in Carbondale could be a drive as it is a real world issue with real world results.

Team Leader:

Milestones:

-Talk with faculty about course curriculum

=== Tactic #3 - Use school resources to help people find possible work / better living conditions ===

Description: The library already has a program for helping people in need use resources, but this could be expanded further. Administrators or students in specific majors could meet and help people around the city of Carbondale to set goals. Setting up booths at fairs is an example of ways to reach out to the community in the city.

Team Leader: Robert Caswelch

Milestones:

-Set up booth at fair (farmers market)

== '''Strategy #2 - Tackle Social Justice in Carbondale''' ==

=== Tactic #1: Meet with resource centers/housing about how to develop a strong training ===

= '''OVERVIEW''' =

Southern Illinois University Carbondale is in need of a little push towards the communal adoption of I&E. While our resources are tangible, they are vastly underutlized. It is our responsibility and intention as University Innovation Fellows to address the problem head on and with conviction. After several years of ineffective marketing attempts at the student level, it is apparent that a more proactive approach toward resource utilization needs to made. This why we are beginning to look at how SIU and other universities must adapt from outputing students under the Industrial model to fostering growth in students for the Information Age.

<li>While we cannot control what freshmen do and do not look through, we can certainly try our best to make it appealing. Rather than dropping it in a folder titled ‘New Student Information’ we will refer to it as the Saluki Survival Guide.</li>
</ul></li>
<li>What will it include?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>The general idea is that it includes a bit of everything freshmen have questions about. From providing simple ways to discover RSO’s that match their interests, to how to get involved with undergraduate research, to how to file a maintenance report if their shower is leaking.</li>
</ul></li>
</ul></li>
<li>Will it work?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>We discussed this idea with three of the freshmen that we previously interviewed. All three of them said that they thought the idea was good, but only two of them said they would have taken the time to read through it. When we presented this idea to one of our stakeholders, she responded positively to the lack of cost involved.</li>
</ul></li>
</ul>

== Prototype 2:Innovation Course ==

Problem: We noticed that there were not many opportunities for students to learn about design thinking outside of the College of Business.

Solution:We want to provide an innovation course to the students of campus.

Process:The innovation course would teach students for a few weeks about design thinking and the process of creating a project. For the rest of the semester, the students are tasked with creating their own project that interests them. For example, if the student studies biology, they could task themselves with creating a research project. If the student studies business, they could create a plan to start their company. If the student studies engineering, they could create their own engineering project. At the end of the semester, the students will be required to show a detailed plan for their project or an actual product.

Target and Prototyping:The innovation course would be offered to honors students first as a testing ground. The honors students are required to take honors classes so by placing the innovation course as an honors course, there is a good chance that students will take it. After being tested as an honors course, we would like to open up the innovation course to the entire campus.

Long-term Plan: In the long run, the course could be utilized like Senior Design course but for targeted towards freshman. This would introduce freshman to design thinking as soon as they come to campus and teach students how to create their own projects. The course has the potential to mold SIU into a more innovative campus.

<li>Will it work?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>We discussed this idea with one of our stakeholders that is in charge of the Desire to Learn (D2L) platform, who reacted positively to the proposal. She offered to help us redesign the homepage of D2L to include a question bar with a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) resource link under it. Due to our SIU emails being linked to our D2L accounts, designated staff can respond through email and list the answer on the FAQ page.</li>

<li>What is it?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>After reflecting heavily on our personal experiences with the current structure of UCOL, we will modify the curriculum that is taught to the students to be major specific. Through this modification of curriculum, we will guide teachers of the UCOL course to connect those students towards related RSO’s and other major related organizations and opportunities on campus.</li>
</ul></li>
<li>What does it need to be implemented?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>This project will require no funding. A slight shift in the way the class is taught, along with some work with the universities registrar office, we will be able to move students into their Major Specific Introductory course for nothing more than a little hard work.</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Who will it help?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>This will help students who are not wanting too broad of an overview of campus and the resources on it. The students who will come into the university with an understanding of what they want to do in their major will be able to accomplish that by being given knowledge about opportunities in their major.</li>
<li></li>
</ul></li>
<li>What will it include?<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<li>It will include a structured list of major related RSO’s and opportunities within the university and around the southern Illinois region. The course will be structured in a way that the students are required to go out and actually interact with peers and faculty in their major.</li>

= Fall 2017 Student Strategies =

== '''Strategy #1 - Create A Market Demand For The I&E Resources Already Available to SIU Students''' ==

=== Tactic #1 - Host Innovation and Entrepreneurship Collaboration Activities ===

Description: Implement marketing events at this facility to demonstrate the power of possibilities when given the right tools. We need to inspire creative thinking in our students by surrounding them with a creative environment. Events will include Maker's Space projects, departmental think tanks, crowdfunding workshops, student organization meetings/events and much much more. 

Team Leader: Brandon Nolte

Milestones:

-TBD

=== Tactic #2 - Open Up Dialogue Between Colleges via Resource Network ===

Description: All too often we witness the spark in a students eye when they first realize how conceivable their bright new idea really is when they consider working with other College departments. However, more times than not, without a direct connection to desired college it can be difficult and frustrating to assemble a team. Simply cold calling a department phone number or emailing a student club should not be the only option. We propose to create comprehensive database network of involved innovators across all major departments in the univeristy. Not a directory, a network. These voluntary contacts on this database will be predetermined ambassadors of their department or group who give their permission to be contacted by fellow student innovators in search of knowledge specific to their venture. Opening up dialogue between departments for reasons outside of the classroom is a great way to collaborate on ideas. 

Team Leader: TBD

Milestones:

-TBD

== Strategy #2 - Work with University Administrators, Faculty, and Students to create a core curriculm fit for the Information Age. ==

=== Tactic #1 - Research, Design, and Implement classes and classrooms that foster Innovation, Creativity, and Engagement with real world problems. ===

Description: Makerspaces, clubs, research, and guest speakers are all great things that can add to the Innovative and Entrepreneurial environment on a college campus. However, the major determining factor for the quality of the education a student recieves is the core curriculum taught in every area of the university. By creating a future Design of what Southern Illinois University might look like, if I&E were the inspiration, SIU can begin to Implement changes in the classroom now. This includes two major changes to the current curriculum. #1 We need to go from teaching a tool based approach to teaching from a problem or goal based approach that directly engages students with a challenge. For example to learn about engines under the current model students must learn about all the tools, nuts, and bolts 1st before ever touching an engine. Under a problem based approach students are engaged with the challenge of fixing or building an engine from day 1 and they learn about the tools they need through trial and error. This process more directly engages students in critical thinking. The 2nd change that needs to occur in SIU's curriculm is to begin combining the Arts and Engineering. This does exist in a few areas on campus but the core curriculm doesn't address this need. All the great achievements of human civilization, such as the Pantheon in Rome, were built with Art, Design, and Engineering in total collaboration yet the Industrial model of most universities including SIU doesn't yet reflect this. Instead engineers and scientists are in one building and artists and designers in another, often never crossing eachothers' path inside a classroom. It's time to make a change.

Team Leader: Dan Bach

Milestones:

-TBD

=== Tactic #2 - Module Learning Classes for  Hands on Innovation Learning ===

Description: In the Fall of 2014 the Saluki Entrepreneur Corps produced and executed their first Business Start Up Module which had approximately 10 graduates who recieved certificates as Business Consultant Assistance.  This success in a small size allows the same model be applied to other discplines for similar exercies to give participants a better understanding of the need to be fully aware of the disciplines that they could work with in the future for a possible start-up.  

Team Leader: TBD

Milestones: 

-Finished our learning class in the Fall of 2014

== Strategy #3 - Join the Small Innovation Spaces on Campus Into a Large Campus Makerspace. ==

=== Tactic #1 - Get people thinking about the idea. ===

Description: Go around to all of the individual, design-based programs at the school. Introduce them to UIF, and talk to them about the benefits of pooling our resources as a campus into one large-scale Makerspace. Talk to program leaders, Deans, professors, and supportive alumni. Get the word out about what we're doing, and brainstorm ways to achieve it.  

Team Leader: Thomas Birch

Milestones:

- Make a list of relevant programs/people to talk to

- Schedule discussions and presentations

- Get ideas and support for this project

=== Tactic #2 - Collect information about people and resources ===

Description: Make a comprehensive list of the various resources that could be together in the Makerspace. For example, our campus has a small Makerspace group, a robotics club, and a Business Incubator. This will help us decide how the space will be organized to reflect the needs of the various groups using it.  

Team Leader: Thomas Birch

Milestones:

- Making a comprehensive list of the resources and innovation groups on campus

=== Tactic #3 - Make plans to build the Makerspace ===

Description: This will probably be the most challenging part of the project. We will need to find a location, figure out funding, get various permissions from the university, and get actual support and permission from the university. We will most likely try to use an existing building, as there is already limited space on campus for a new building.  

Team Leader: Thomas Birch

Milestones:

- Present plan to heads of University

- Acquire funding/support

- Work with contractors to modify/build space

- Acquire materials to fill space with

=== Tactic #4 - Utilize the Makerspace, and let it be used by students from every field ===

Description: Once the Makerspace is built, we need people to use it! The space will have spots where programs that were using their own spaces will be able to meet, and the space will have regular events. We also plan on trying to have classes centered around innovation to take place in the Makerspace.  

Team Leader: Thomas Birch

Milestones:

- Regular planned events at the Makerspace

- RSO's meet and use the Makerspace

- Makerspace is well-maintained

= Fall 2016 Student Strategies =

== Strategy #1 - Improve homelessness situation in Carbondale ==

=== Tactic #1 - Talk with city officials to incorporate more community projects around town ===

Description: Work on setting up more activities around Carbondale that provide jobs to people. Open programs that improve environment and city infastructure.

Team Leader: Robert Caswelch

Milestones:

-Contact city council about expanded workforce jobs around campus.

=== Tactic #2 - Work with students and faculty to tackle issues regarding poverty ===

Description: Student engagement could be improved on campus, so making a class project to improve living conditions in Carbondale could be a drive as it is a real world issue with real world results.

Team Leader:

Milestones:

-Talk with faculty about course curriculum

=== Tactic #3 - Use school resources to help people find possible work / better living conditions ===

Description: The library already has a program for helping people in need use resources, but this could be expanded further. Administrators or students in specific majors could meet and help people around the city of Carbondale to set goals. Setting up booths at fairs is an example of ways to reach out to the community in the city.

Team Leader: Robert Caswelch

Milestones:

-Set up booth at fair (farmers market)

== '''Strategy #2 - Tackle Social Justice in Carbondale''' ==

=== Tactic #1: Meet with resource centers/housing about how to develop a strong training ===

Description: Reach out to multiple resource centers on campus as well as housing. Possibly reach out to people that have created the Consent and Respect training that aims to educate students on sexual assault.

Team Leader: Mary McGee

Milestones: N/A

Find and contact staff by December.

=== Tactic #2: Conduct interviews with students to see how they have been affected by discrimination, oppression, etc. ===

Description: Meet with students from all walks of life, majors, races, sexualities, etc and talk about their unique experiences.

Team Leader: Mary McGee

Find and meet with students and faculty by January

=== Tactic #3: Partner with organizations on campus ===

Description: Develop a sense of where all the resources are and then contact each one of them to see if they are interested in working with me.

Team Leader: Mary McGee

Milestones: N/A

Develop a solid plan by February

=== '''Tactic #4: Develop the training and deliver''' ===

Description: Create a basis of what I want in the training, who should be a part of it, and how I will follow through with this training.

Team Leader: Mary McGee

Milestones: N/A

Develop a solid program by March or April so that I can start implementing for the summer.

= Faculty Innovation & Entrepreneurship =

The Office of Economic and Regional Development at Research Park has made strides in helping professors and researchers on campus to commercialize their research through a 12 week program called "Operation Mousetrap". Operation Mousetrap held its inaugural sessions in 2010 and features keynote speakers that are experts in their own business and law related fields. The participants of Operation Mousetrap also learn to create a mock business plan and sales pitch for their business, and must do so to graduate from the course. This program has helped many professors to form successful businesses, including Dr. Ken Anderson, the CSO and founder of Thermaquatica.

With the availability of the Southern Illinois Research Park the faculty of SIU have not hesitated to pursue their own passion and research while bringing a few or even many of their students along for the journey of innovation and entrepreneurship. Thermaquatica founder Dr. Ken Anderson has developed the OGD concept, and has served as PI on four grants funded by the Illinois Clean Coal INstitute to explore the concept and develop the fundamental technology. He is a full professor in the Department of Geoplogy, at SIUC.

Jack Crelling, PhD how is a Board Member & Technical Advisor for Thermaquatica joined the SIUC faculty in 1977 as a professor and the Leader of Coal Characterization Laboratory and the Maceral Separation Laboratory. He retired from active teaching in 2006 and now continues on the faculty as a Research Professor DxR Development Group, INC. DxR Development Group's roots are in education... specifically, medical education. In 1990,Southern Illinois University School of Medicine Professors Hurley Myers, PhD and Kevin Dorsey, MD, PhD, collaborated with software engineer Eldon Benz to produce a computer simulation program that allowed medical students to conduct a clinical investigation using a virtual patient. The program recorded the students' decisions, allowing faculty to review how the student reasoned through the patient problem. From this effort, Diagnostic Reasoning, the precursor to what is now known as DxR Clinician, was born. Clinician has since been translated into Japanese, Chinese, and Spanish and is used in at least a dozen countries.
