The two biggest issues in strengthening the innovation culture at SCU seem to be broadening the scope of those resources and increasing student engagement with the opportunities that are present. The Bronco Innovation Center concept is one to allow more resources for students to get hands-on exploration and pursuit beyond the classroom relevant to innovation. This means learning more than just the brainstorming and basic prototyping that comes with the beginning of the design and innovation process, but really giving students the chance to understand the whole process.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The idea is to introduce a space on campus where students interested in pursuing their own projects or start-ups in the realm of innovation can get help from trained student consultants across disciplines (engineering, business, arts & sciences, law, etc.).

This is because often, students get placed in boxes based on their major or they get sucked into the idea that they need to work at a “name brand” company in order to be happy.&nbsp;Generally, career fairs are very overwhelming with people around you all trying to land the same job. This environment naturally causes people to gravitate towards big companies because everyone thinks that having a job at a big company means success. However, success should be something that is defined internally and measured by one’s self instead of listening to other people’s&nbsp;judgments&nbsp;about what is and isn’t allowed to make you happy. This is an attempt to pair students with jobs they could actually be happy at and explore the possibilities that are out there.</span></span></span><br /> <br /> == Spring 2018 Article - Nameless Career Fair ==<br /> <br /> [[File:UIF Article1.png]][[File:UIF Article2.png]]<br /> <br /> == <br/> ==<br /> <br /> = Spring 2017 Priorities =<br /> <br /> = <span style="font-size:x-large;">STRATEGY #1: REINVENTING RESOURCE MARKETING AND COMMUNICATIONS</span> =<br /> <br /> == <span style="font-size:large;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-4ea59471-ec18-88e3-205f-1cfb80e7531b"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Tactic #1: &nbsp;Camino Utilization</span></span></span> ==<br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-4ea59471-ec18-88e3-205f-1cfb80e7531b"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</span>Santa Clara, as shown through our Landscape Canvas, has many resources - from classes to clubs, from speaker events to workshops - but these are far underutilized due to a system of communication that is both difficult for the administration to maintain and doesn't fully reach out to the students of each college. In the school of Engineering, there is a weekly email sent out that is hand-crafted every Sunday night that lists out most of the events that will be happening that week. Club meetings, Maker Lab events, workshops, and many others are listed off in this email- but in the eyes of many, it comes across as almost "spammy". Most notably, not all engineers are interested in all disciplines of engineering, so they need to sort through dozens of items in order to find one they might be interested in. Along those same lines, the Business and Arts/Sciences schools appear to lack anything close to this, and students have to be completely on top of the hundreds of emails they receive each week just to see what they’re actually interested in.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-4ea59471-ec18-88e3-205f-1cfb80e7531b"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</span>By utilizing Camino, a resource that every student on campus already accesses on a near-daily basis, we could potentially completely rework how our school’s resources deal with communications. Through Camino, club leaders, event organizers, and school administrators could communicate resources directly to interested students by publishing announcements about events when they are announced, directly messaging students to work out questions or RSVPs, and automatically add the event dates, times, and details to the students’ Google calendars. Students would sign up for which “groups” they would be interested in, whether they be Entrepreneurship, Art, Career Preparation, whatever it might be, and only receive notifications for those interests.

It would be much more streamlined and direct than our current means of communication, and also helps grey out the boundaries between schools.</span></span><br /> <br /> = <span style="font-size:x-large;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-4ea59471-ec18-88e3-205f-1cfb80e7531b"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">STRATEGY #2: REINVENTING CLASSES</span></span></span> =<br /> <br /> == <span style="font-size:large;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-4ea59471-ec18-88e3-205f-1cfb80e7531b"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Tactic: &nbsp;Combining Pop-Up Classes</span></span></span> ==<br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-4ea59471-ec18-88e3-205f-1cfb80e7531b"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</span>In order to give the school an experience of innovation and entrepreneurship, Santa Clara offers various one-unit pop up classes on relevant topics. A problem with these classes is that they don’t satisfy any requirement, are offered at odd times, and they are only worth one unit. This makes it so students can't or don’t want to take them. Therefore by combining them all into a 4-unit class would solve this problem. A problem that hasn’t been resolved yet is the fact that these classes are traditionally at odd times and are hard to fit in the schedule. If the classes were all a part of the same class it wouldn’t have to be squeezed in eliminating the potential to take other classes. The largest benefit of these classes being in line so they can build off each other, and come together in a big final project that has a real world component.</span></span><br /> <br /> = <span style="font-size: x-large;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-4ea59471-ec18-88e3-205f-1cfb80e7531b"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">STRATEGY #3: CREATING OPPORTUNITIES FOR PURSUE</span></span></span> =<br /> <br /> == <span style="font-size: large;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-4ea59471-ec18-88e3-205f-1cfb80e7531b"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Tactic: &nbsp;Multidisciplinary Startup Venture</span></span></span> ==<br /> <div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Something that our landscape canvas revealed about Santa Clara University was that there was a clear gap when it comes to pursuing a startup venture and applying the innovative and design skills into a real and practical sense.

After teams organize themselves, Winter quarter would be where the idea finally transcends into a real startup. Teams would develop business strategies, produce prototypes of their product or service, develop marketing tools, create a distribution system and search for potential investors. School funding as well as resources such as the Maker Lab would be accessible to students to eliminate any financial risks and apprehension.

The two biggest issues in strengthening the innovation culture at SCU seem to be broadening the scope of those resources and increasing student engagement with the opprotunities that are present. The Bronco Innovation Center concept is one to allow more resources for students to get hands on exploration and pursuit beyond the classroom relevant to innovation. This means learning more than just the brainstorming and basic prototyping that comes with the beginning of the design and innovation process, but really giving students the chance to understand the whole process.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The idea is to introduce a space on campus where students interested in pursuing their own projects or start-ups in the realm of innovation can get help from trained student consultants across disciplines (engineering, business, arts & sciences, law, etc.). The plan would be contigent upon heavy involvement from a faculty champion willing to help train volunteer student consultants. The volunteers would have the opprotunity to gain hands-on experience in many projects within their area of discipline, and would be centrally connected to a great resource to pursue their own ideas. Overall, it would be a student-based support ot the defecit in "pursuit" of innovation on campus.&nbsp;</span><br /> <br /> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /> <br /> == <span style="font-size: large;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-4ea59471-ec18-88e3-205f-1cfb80e7531b"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Strategy #2: &nbsp;Course Video Descriptions</span></span></span> ==<br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: 14.4px;">There are a wide range of I&E courses at SCU, but a lot of them are not well marketed to students that are not in the School of Engineering. A lot of the time these classes may seem intimidatiing or daunting to non-engineering majors. As a way to alleviate this feeling, on the course description page of a particular class, there should be a 1-2 minute video of the professor describing the requirements, topics, scope, and application of their class. This contrasts the current course description page which has currently has a brief description of the class, the prerequisites, and required books. A video describing the course will not only be a more engaging way to learn about a class but it will give students a better feel for the professors personality and the importance of the class. It will also help students get a better idea of if they want to take that class.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: 14.4px;">The quality of many elective classes at SCU are dependent on the content and the professor. The main resources students currently have access to for learning about a class and professor are the student submitted course evaluations and generally biased reviews of a class or professor from websites like Ratemyprofessors.</span><br /> <br /> = <span style="font-size:x-large;"></span>Spring 2017 Priorities =<br /> <br /> = <span style="font-size:x-large;">STRATEGY #1: REINVENTING RESOURCE MARKETING AND COMMUNICATIONS</span> =<br /> <br /> == <span style="font-size:large;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-4ea59471-ec18-88e3-205f-1cfb80e7531b"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Tactic #1: &nbsp;Camino Utilization</span></span></span> ==<br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-4ea59471-ec18-88e3-205f-1cfb80e7531b"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</span>Santa Clara, as shown through our Landscape Canvas, has many resources - from classes to clubs, from speaker events to workshops - but these are far underutilized due to a system of communication that is both difficult for the administration to maintain and doesn't fully reach out to the students of each college. In the school of Engineering, there is a weekly email sent out that is hand-crafted every Sunday night that lists out most of the events that will be happening that week. Club meetings, Maker Lab events, workshops, and many others are listed off in this email- but in the eyes of many, it comes across as almost "spammy". Most notably, not all engineers are interested in all disciplines of engineering, so they need to sort through dozens of items in order to find one they might be interested in. Along those same lines, the Business and Arts/Sciences schools appear to lack anything close to this, and students have to be completely on top of the hundreds of emails they receive each week just to see what they’re actually interested in.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-4ea59471-ec18-88e3-205f-1cfb80e7531b"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</span>By utilizing Camino, a resource that every student on campus already accesses on a near-daily basis, we could potentially completely rework how our school’s resources deal with communications. Through Camino, club leaders, event organizers, and school administrators could communicate resources directly to interested students by publishing announcements about events when they are announced, directly messaging students to work out questions or RSVPs, and automatically add the event dates, times, and details to the students’ Google calendars.

Connor became interested in engineering starting in high school when he took a course called Physics Academy. In this class, he learned about physics experimentally as well as completed projects including building a rocket, solar powered dragster, and an autonomous sumo battling robot. This led him to choose to study Mechanical Engineering at SCU.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-a8ab05f7-e6ce-6575-0f67-c6ecd45f85c0"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">At Santa Clara University, Connor has found ways to get involved in several organizations and activities on campus. He has been the Service Chair and a founding member of the campus’s colony of Theta Tau, a co-ed professional engineering fraternity that aims to help develop lasting relationships with other members, improve professionalism, and serve the surrounding community. Connor also participates in Santa Clara Innovation and Design Club (SCID) to help improve his skills in the areas of innovation, design thinking, and entrepreneurship. He has participated in SCID’s “design-a-thon” as well as other on-campus entrepreneurial mindset challenges. He has also expanded his thinking on the design process by taking one-unit engineering elective courses in the field of design thinking such as Opportunity Recognition I and II.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-a8ab05f7-e6ce-6575-0f67-c6ecd45f85c0"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Connor looks forward to making a lasting impact for the students at Santa Clara University with the help of the University Innovation Fellows.</span></span><br /> <div><br/></div><br /> [[Category:Student Contributors|Student_Contributors]]</div>

Connor became interested in engineering starting in high school when he took a course called Physics Academy. In this class, he learned about physics experimentally as well as completed projects including building a rocket, solar powered dragster, and an autonomous sumo battling robot. This led him to choose to study Mechanical Engineering at SCU.</span></span><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-a8ab05f7-e6ce-6575-0f67-c6ecd45f85c0"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">At Santa Clara University, Connor has found ways to get involved in several organizations and activities on campus. He has been the Service Chair and a founding member of the campus’s colony of Theta Tau, a co-ed professional engineering fraternity that aims to help develop lasting relationships with other members, improve professionalism, and serve the surrounding community. Connor also participates in Santa Clara Innovation and Design Club (SCID) to help improve his skills in the areas of innovation, design thinking, and entrepreneurship. He has participated in SCID’s “design-a-thon” as well as other on-campus entrepreneurial mindset challenges. He has also expanded his thinking on the design process by taking one-unit engineering elective courses in the field of design thinking such as Opportunity Recognition I and II.</span></span><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-a8ab05f7-e6ce-6575-0f67-c6ecd45f85c0"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Connor looks forward to making a lasting impact for the students at Santa Clara University with the help of the University Innovation Fellows.</span></span><br /> <div><br/></div><br /> [[Category:Student Contributors|Student_Contributors]]</div>
