= Strategy #1: Cultivate and Foster a Student Culture That Improves Retention and Collaboration Across Campus =

= Student Leadership Summit: The idea is simple, if culture is a collection of individuals then first and foremost those individuals must be IN a collective. One way to achieve this is having them in same room, similar to a stakeholder meeting. The goal is to increase the connectivity between clubs and student orgs as to develop and cultivate that student culture.

<div>'''FALL 2016 Priorities'''</div>
= Strategy #1: Encourage and Promote a System of Diverse Learning Styles That Allows for Interdisciplinary Collaboration =

== 72 Hour Design Thinking Challenge ==

*Multidisciplinary student-teams work together over a 72 hour period to develop new models of education.
*Each student-team showcases and pitches their model to the school administration and investors of the school.
*Based on the success of these pitches, new educational models will be adopted and integrated, in a partnership with the school administration and investors of the university, to radically reimagine higher education systems.
*To be held ever year year to meet a constantly changing 'start-up' university model that exists at Boise State University.

= Strategy #2: Build Interdisiplinary Student Community and Increase Social Support For Students  =

== Integration of Self-Care, Self-Awareness and Social Awareness Into Education System (Student, Teacher, Classroom, Campus) ==

*

== Development and Implementation of Interdisciplinary Cohort Group ==

*

= SPRING 2016 Priorities =

= Strategy #1: Increase Awareness of Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Engineering =

== Engineering & Innovation Living-Learning Community ==

*Freshmen students with majors in the College of Innovation and Design and the College of Engineering live together and take a class which involves community service and team building, as well as aspects of the different majors encompassed by CID and Engineering.
*This Living-Learning Community (LLC) was just established (formerly it was only engineering students), and thus could be a great place to prototype the implementation of I&E concepts and engage freshmen with these ideas
*This is also a great place to test the effectiveness of LLCs in creating a community across disciplines

== Introduce I&E Concepts in Introduction to Engineering Classes ==

*All incoming freshmen engineering students are required to take ENGR 120 (Introduction to Engineering) or ENGR 130 (Introduction to Engineering Applications)
*These courses are project-based, and teach students about engineering disciplines, as well as developing critical thinking and provides a "design-oriented engineering experience"
*ENGR 130 involves a service project where students work with a client from the community to apply the engineering design process to solve a problem
*While some design thinking is already a part of these courses, there could be room for the addition of more explicitly human-centered design principles into the curriculum
*This could also be a platform to introduce engineering students to entrepreneurship concepts to which they may not otherwise be exposed 

== Promote Growth of Vertically Integrated Projects ==

*The Vertically Integrated Projects (VIP) Program unites undergraduate education and faculty research in a team-based context
*Undergraduate VIP students earn academic credits, while faculty and graduate students benefit from the design/discovery efforts of their teams
*The Boise State University VIP program is part of a broad national and international consortium of universities
*While this program already exists in an early phase, more work remains to create campus-wide awareness about the vision and purpose of Vertically Integrated Projects in order to attract students and faculty to participate in current and new projects
*This program presents an inherent opportunity for a culture of I&E to thrive in a community of students and faculty from different disciplines across campus
*VIP projects differ from a traditional research lab setting in that the experiences, interests, and abilities of all members - faculty and students alike - are valued equally
*Close-knit VIP teams provide an opportunity to support vulnerable populations of students who might not finish their degrees without a supportive community and mentorship opportunities

== Provide Opportunities for Entrepreneurship Mentoring to Engineering Students ==

*The New Product Development Lab, housed within the College of Engineering, mostly provides rapid prototyping and design consulting services to local businesses and entrepreneurs outside the university, but is also a resource available to student entrepreneurs that is not currently well-publicized
*While Venture College's services are available to all students, and they have been expanding their reach to Computer Science majors, this services is still unknown to most engineering majors
*A goal for the future would be to implement a program which partners engineering students with ideas with mentors from the local entrepreneurship community and/or students from the Business College to help them work toward commercializing their ideas (or co-developing ideas for new ventures)

= Strategy #2: Promote Collaboration Across Disciplines on Campus =

== Promote New and Existing Spaces for Interdisciplinary Collaboration and Idea Generation and Work Toward Making More ==

*The Honors College provides dorms and multi-disciplinary classes to connect students from different majors
*Some Living-Learning Communities offer cross-disciplinary themes such as fitness, while some are major- or college-specific.
*The MakerLab is a makerspace hosted in the Boise State Library and run by librarians and student employees.  This space is very user-driven, and offers student- and staff-led workshops on technologies such as arduinos and 3D printing.  Students can print designs for free on the two 3D printers.

== Host a TEDx Boise Viewing Party ==

*TEDx tickets are often outside the price range of interested students
*Hosting a live streaming event of the talks would be a great opportunity to foster collaboration and creativity among a group of interested students
*This could be a good "hook" to get students into the event, where we could then direct them to other on- and off-campus resources

= Strategy #3: Increase Overall Student Awareness of I&E Concepts and Resources =

== Create a Website for I&E Resources ==

*Create a one-page website with links to relevant resources on and off campus
*Publish through the College of Innovation and Design's website
*Advertise the website in department email newsletters across campus
*Try to get a link put on students' my.Boisestate pages

== Freshmen Orientation Design Thinking Pop-Up ==

*Create a design thinking pop-up program as part of freshmen orientation
*Engage students to think about what they want to do in terms of a mission, not just a major

== Integrate Design Thinking Concepts into University Foundations Courses ==

*All incoming Boise State students are required to take these courses
*Each section explores a different concept (e.g. "The History and Future of Education", "Invention and Discovery")
*While innovation is a core part of the mission of the UF program, design thinking is not an explicit part of the curriculum of most sections right now
*This might be another great place to introduce I&E concepts to freshmen

== Reach Out to Underserved Groups Through the Institute for STEM and Diversity ==

*The Institute for STEM and Diversity runs a number of programs aimed at underserved populations such as minorities and students who are the first in their families to go to college
*This could be a great connection to reach out to these populations, who might not otherwise be reached

= Strategy #4: Provide Feedback Mechanisms for Students to Give Input to the University Administration =

== Implement a student satisfaction survey ==

*The overall intent of this survey would be to gather a significant amount of data on what actual students think of our ideas and of what is currently available on campus right now, to help ground our mission for change in facts and figures
*The use of a Likert scale (e.g. Very good, good, neutral, bad, very bad) could allow students to rate various aspects of their experience (e.g. I&E resources, quality of education, value for tuition, quality of faculty overall, internship and job opportunities, etc.)
*This survey could be dynamic (e.g. questions could change based on identifiers such as major, part-time/full-time, etc.) to gather specific data about different parts of the student population
*Open-ended feedback could allow us to gather new ideas about what students are interested in

== Host an event to generate student ideas for campus improvements ==

*This could be a workshop, or more of a design sprint or hackathon
*We could break out into small teams and document feedback
*A streamlined report could be addressed to the university administration
*Our partnerships with the MakerLab and College of Innovation and Design could provide conduits to implement some ideas

== Provide a social feedback system ==

*Allow students to submit ideas for improving campus online
*Each idea/thread can be upvoted or downvoted and allows comments
*Top upvoted ideas for a given period can be candidates for implementation, or at least get a response from the university administration
*Another approach for an online community could be a slack channel.  A Boise State slack channel already exists, but is not well-publicized outside of the MakerLab and Computer Science communities.

Resource:How to leverage Harvard's free CS50 online class to teach code on your campus

== Topic ==

Harvard’s Introduction to Computer Science course, CS50, is a popular class not only at Harvard but also around the world.  It is available free to the public via edX.org, a hub for online classes hosted by over 90 of the world's top Universities.  It is a means for anyone who has an interest to learn to code and is a valuable resource to Fellows in particular.  Topics covered in this class include abstraction, algorithms, data structures, encapsulation, resource management, security, software engineering, and web development. A wide variety of languages are covered as well including C, Python, SQL, and JavaScript plus CSS and HTML.

One Fellow, Trevor Nicks, leveraged the class to not only teach himself a valuable skill, but also to establish it as an accredited course at his university, William Jewell College in Liberty, Missouri. Initiating the use of online courses such as CS50 on a campus can help to teach students skills and knowledge that they may not have been able to learn in their major or at their school at all. 

== Need and Goal ==

Coding is one of many important skills in today's technological landscape. For college students in non-STEM majors or at institutions with limited course offerings, it can be difficult to supplement one's learning in a convenient way. Incorporating online accredited courses into an institutions course catalog would better enable students to broaden the scope of their learning without sacrificing their major or school of choice.

== Academic Permission/Support ==

Making changes to a course catalog requires first communication with the school's administration. The provost or vice-provost would be the most apt to address this topic. To gain access to a school's administration, it would most likely be easier to go through one's UIF sponsor or another faculty member who supports making this change. It is important to communicate frequently and professionally through email, as faculty and administrators are notoriously busy people. In order to coax the administrators into hearing and heeding this request, it may help to invite them to a meeting and offer refreshments so that you may politely and professionally state your case.

 

== Cost ==

The greatest cost in instituting currculum changes is time and energy in the form of paperwork and bureaucracy. Adding a course such as CS50 is relatively cheap for an institution in the long run, as it only requires some effort at the beginning. Once a course is added, the cost for an individual student is roughly $100. While the course content is accesible for no cost, the charge is necessary for one's work to be graded by the host university, thereby validating the credit hours. One's school may accept a certain amount of credits for online courses from edx.org, and considering the generally high tuition cost at most institutions, paying roughly $100 for 3-4 credit hours is very reasonable.

== Timeline ==

It is important to consider how long it takes for bureaucracy to be completed and institutional changes to be made. While it may seem like a small task, making changes to a course catalog requires various levels of approval from accredidation boards. One should allow at least a semester to pass for paperwork to be completed. Once an online course is authorized, the next students will be able to enroll in the course and receive credit from the institution as easily as with any other course.

== Lessons Learned ==

The underlying lesson is to never stop enriching your education and learning skills. It is important to always stay vigilant about new ways to add on to your skill set. It is also important to communicate with those around you. Trevor spent much of his time working with adminstration to make this program possible. In order to do this he had to communicate well, this includes knowing his audience, but also taking the initiative to make a connection. Another lesson is filling needs. Today's career fields had a need, Trevor found a way to help bridge that need while also bridging students to careers. The basis of most change is out of the demand of a need, there is a great importantance in the ability to notice one.
