==Bio==
I was inducted into the University Innovation Fellows in the Fall of 2022. On April 2nd, 2022, my University Innovation Fellows cohort and I ran the first Rowan Innovation Weekend, an event designed to spark interest in design thinking and use student ingenuity to address issues on campus. I composed a short article about it on [https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/rowan-innovation-weekend-2022-aatish-gupta/?trackingId=2FpU0omS7XIde7c3OOJSlQ%3D%3D LinkedIn]. Continuing with the mission of spreading design thinking to Rowan students, Kenyon Burgess and I created a new Junior/Senior engineering clinic devoted to it in 2022. We created a [https://sites.google.com/students.rowan.edu/dt-rowan/home design thinking curriculum] that can be implemented alongside courseware for professors to use to deepen practical student knowledge without taking away from class time. It includes materials pulled from across the internet and the d.School, but also original content like [https://www.youtube.com/@rowandttv/videos YouTube] videos.

I am currently participating in the Camden Dream Freedom School, a program dedicated to help prevent summer learning loss through a six week reading and STEM curriculum for K-8 students. In the fall, I will be attending Carnegie Mellon University to pursue my MS in Mechanical Engineering.

Feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn or message me, I check it way too often.

Guptaa58: /* CAMPUS OVERVIEW */

{{#Widget:Youtube|id=DcFXZDafF3s }}

=CAMPUS OVERVIEW=

Rowan supports entrepreneurship with the Rowan Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship located in the Rohrer College of Business. The RCIE provides students with resources and opportunities to get connected with mentors and seed funding for their entrepreneurial ideas. The RCIE hosts 70+ events each semester, such as Design Thinking, Prototyping and Innovation Express workshops. These workshops and activities fuel Rowan's entrepreneurial mindset and raise innovation exponentially.

Rowan University provides an Office of Technology Commercialization. This office centers around student and faculty research in engineering, pharmaceuticals, medical technologies, and life sciences. At Rowan, research is one of the centers of innovation. The Office of Technology Commercialization connects this research to unmet marketable needs in industry. It is responsible for creating a collaboration between labs at Rowan University and industries in the marketplace.

The RCIE routinely inspires students to become entrepreneurs. They host events like "Coffee with an Entrepreneur" as well as their more conventional speaker series, where they bring people like Pete Ciarrocchi of Chickie's and Pete's and Nick Bayer of Saxby's. They also run about six sections of an Entrepreneurship and Innovation class, with 30 students in each.

Rowan University is continuously forming direct relationships with industries in the South Jersey/Philadelphia region but also nationwide. Through an innovative curriculum with the incorporation of “Engineering Clinics”, students of all engineering majors come together to tackle real-time industry research or professor work. Junior and Senior engineers at Rowan can choose what research project to work on as their Clinic course each semester. Some of these courses are sponsored by government companies or industry in which students have the equivalency of working under a company for course credit. These clinic range from designing Mars mining equipment for NASA to implementing medical equipment to providing relief efforts for third-world-countries after natural disaster. Some students even start their own projects to make their own Clinic course with the help of University funding. Industry and research projects go even beyond the classroom at Rowan, however. The addition of our South Jersey Tech Park creates a research facility for a variety of projects, ranging from drone research to a virtual reality center. On top of that, a lot of STEM professors at Rowan conduct independent research projects, in which case they take on a team of interested students for the opportunity to be a part of their research.

The Rowan Innovation Venture Fund, co-founded by Howard Lubert, is a University based $5 million private-equity fund. This was established in 2014 and provides early stage funding to students, faculty, alumni, and companies that have developed and tested products. This Fund heavily contributes to a growing initiative in encouraging entrepreneurial and innovative campus growth. Howard Lubert is also the Area President of the Keiretsu Forum Mid-Atlantic. Through Keiretsu, Rowan students can get funded for projects. The New Jersey Entrepreneurship State Fund is also available to Rowan students as it is awarded to a NJ student on a yearly basis through our State Department.

Annually, Rowan hosts the Idea Challenge in partnership with the Rowan Center of Innovation and Entrepreneurship. The Idea Challenge is designed to connect, educate and help students realize their entrepreneurial potential. The RCIE chooses local industry professionals as judges to qualify which of the team product pitches has the most potential. Once a decision is reached, the winning team is awarded seed funding for their product or service. This event is hosted in the fall to segway entrepreneurial students into the Venture Challenge in the Spring, which offers further financial support for start-up companies.

Rowan also hosts the StartupRU, a program designed to give student entrepreneurs a chance to learn about creating and managing startups as well as the opportunity to get their projects funded.

Rowan has many opportunities for students to collaborate with industry. Apart from the many corporate partnerships of the school of business and the RCIE, students frequently get co-ops with companies like Subaru and Lockheed Martin. These co-ops can be completed for course credit.

In terms of community outreach, UIF faculty member Mike Dominik plans to launch Rowan100, a program to spur small businesses in the Glassboro area to celebrate Rowan's 100 year anniversary. The student UIF cohort of 2021 is planning to work with him in this endeavour.

 

=IDEAS TO BRING I&E TO CAMPUS=
'''To increase collaboration between the different colleges.'''
