Jaminthoughts: /* Point People */

=Overview=

Milwaukee School of Engineering is excited to share with you the strategies we have created for establishing I&E on campus and in our community. We currently have a presence on campus,but feel that it is too disperse and needs to be connected, strengthened, and highlighted as a priority in order to educate and excite people about the power of I&E.

On this page you will find five strategies to create a presence of I&E on our MSOE campus that will help students, faculty, staff, the community, and all other people where our outreach extends to learn and get excited about brainstorming, entrepreneurship, innovative thinking, forming creative solutions, thinking future-forward, prototyping, design thinking, and implementation.

 
=Cohort 7: 2024=

==Priority 1: Building a Commuter Space==
A commuter space provides a dedicated environment for off-campus students to feel included, meet others, and access resources. Since commuters might feel disconnected, this space serves as a central hub for engagement with campus services, by providing equal opportunity to feel welcomed on campus.

===Timeframe===

*Our cohort is looking to have a functioning prototype / model by the end of the 2024 / 2025 school year.

===Point People===

==Priority 2: Improving Tutoring Services with Mentorship and Incentives==
A stronger tutoring program with mentorship and incentives makes academic support more attractive and effective. This program can work in tandem with the other two projects by bringing mentors or tutors into the commuter space to reach more students, ensuring those resources and support systems are readily accessible and encouraging a culture of peer support.

===Timeframe===

*Our cohort is looking to have a functioning prototype / model by the end of the 2024 / 2025 school year.

==Priority 3: Developing Resources for Higher Utilization==
When more students are aware of and comfortable using available resources (like technical equipment), it builds a stronger mindset for innovation and growth. This helps increase the likelihood that students will succeed academically and socially by reducing stress and cultivating creativity.

===Timeframe===

*Our cohort is looking to have a functioning prototype / model by the end of the 2024 / 2025 school year.

===Point People===
Benjamin Leshin - Primary

Zachary Burke - Support

Mai Nguyen - Support

===Key Tactics===

*Identify why students have not heard of the spaces and/or why they do not use them.

*Bring awareness to the different maker spaces and labs available on campus.
*Create resources to help students feel more comfortable using the equipment.
*Host events to get students into the spaces and familiarize themselves with each space.
*Campaign for professors to involve the spaces more than they already do.

=Cohort 6: 2023=

==Priority 1: Increasing relations between current students at MSOE and alumni==

===Time-frame===
Ideas will be tested over the course of the 23/24 school year and fully implemented in the 24/25.

===Point People===
Noah Nieberle - Primary

===Key Tactics===

*Identify current connection between students and alumni
*Ease or improve avenues of communication for students and alumni
*Provide opportunities for groups to interact in established events

<big>'''Priority 2 : Provide a space for CAECM students to experience 3d concrete printing'''</big>

Point People - Louisa Essuman

Key Tactics

*Identify building projects ongoing at MSOE through conversations with senior faculty members.
*Talk with people leading on campus maker spaces.
*Conduct surveys to understand the needs of the CAECM student population.
*Research new tech innovations in the Construction space.

=Cohort 5: 2022=

==Priority 1: Recognizing Opportunity Cost for Students Who Want to Participate in I&E==
"The loss of potential gain from other alternatives when one alternative is chosen" is how Oxford languages defines Opportunity Cost. For many MSOE students, the opportunity cost of engaging in I&E activities as they currently stand (generally campus events) is simply too high; many simply don't see enough value to sacrifice time that they could spend on their coursework and others have already committed themselves to various meetings for student organizations. In this priority, we seek to identify how we can lower the opportunity cost for students to engage in I&E activities

===Time-frame===

*Ideas tested over the course of the 2022-23 academic year

===Point People===

*James Siedchlag - Primary
*Ben Paulson - Support

===Key Tactics===

*Identify specific reasons why students do or do not identify I&E events
*Connect with campus leaders who are involved in the planning of events (I&E and otherwise, for example: Campus Life) to determine what makes a good event for MSOE
*Explore non-event ways that students can engage with I&E content and develop community, for example, a wiki.
*Make it possible for students who don't have room for business and entrepreneurship topics on their course track to engage with that course content outside of classes.
*Maintain events on a regular schedule, allowing students a lengthy, future-track calendar to build their schedules around.

==Priority 2: Community Outreach==
The resources provided by UIF are beneficial to all majors, and helping more people realize their I&E journey helps us. Based in a larger school in downtown of the most populated city in Wisconsin provides an immense network of possible connections to enhance both UIF and others in the Milwaukee area. By increasing collaboration between student organizations at MSOE, UIF becomes well-known around campus throughout an increasing number of majors, as well as providing all clubs avenues to incorporate I&E in their agendas for a meeting. Collaboration outside of MSOE also increases the quality of knowledge provided at UIF events to students, showcasing alternative viewpoints not available within the current MSOE-networking ecosystem.

===Time-frame===

*Current contacts with/within tech-focused student organizations.
*2022-2023 expansion of relationships to include non-tech student organizations.
*2022-2023 discussion series to be determined with MKE Tech Hub

===Point People===

*Benjamin Paulson - Primary
*Bansari Modi - Support

===Key Tactics===

*Expand UIF events to more majors -- beyond current trend of tech-heavy majors. Follow up for student organization outreach.
**Joint-effort workshops between UIF and another student-drive organization. Builds connections for both involved parties, as well as expanding to topics attendees may not be exposed to in their majors.
*Collaborate with Milwaukee entrepreneurs through platforms like MKE Tech Coalition, Milky Way Tech Hub, and Gener8or.
**Build regular series to integrate Milwaukee entrepreneurs with MSOE entrepreneurial mindset.
**Follow up with business platforms to invite UIF-event attendees to spin-out events.

==Priority 3: Motivating Others by Making Student Success More Visible==
For the majority of human history, it was thought beyond the capabilities of the human body for an individual to run a mile in under four minutes. When Roger Bannister ran the first sub-four minute mile, seven other athletes then accomplished the same within two months. There is invaluable power, and also incredible restrictions, that come with the mindsets we hold in our daily lives. While we can't hope to change everyone's minds instantly, we can work to make students believe that they can succeed with their independent ventures. Through creating more opportunities to display student success, we can help others visualize and pursue their passions.

===Time-frame===

*Preliminary Tactics to be planned and proposed by the end of 2022
*Permanent fixtures to be implemented around campus by the end of the 2022-2023 school year

===Point People===

*Asher Sprigler - Primary
*James Siedchlag - Support

===Key Tactics===

*Work with Student Success coaches in RCAS and the CREATE Institute to research peer motivation
*Collaborate with MSOE Marketing to advertise independent projects through existing digital signage and Online Website
*Establish a permanent display of some variety in The COVE (existing Maker Space)
*Work with the Innovent Center in the Rader School of Business to create a standing record of start-ups

==Priority 4: Fostering Creativity Through Entrepreneurial Mindfulness==
As an engineering school, MSOE often prioritizes rapid recall of knowledge that requires convergent thinking from students instead of divergent thinking. This needs to change because part of being a successful innovator is embracing creativity and learning to look at a situation through multiple perspectives. Despite what is normally thought of creativity in engineering, the engineering field is one that requires it the most. STEM fields are constantly required to design new ideas to overcome problems and by giving students a chance to practice this we ensure that they are prepared to think outside of the box.

===Time-frame===

*Planning will be done throughout the 2022-2023 year
*Results should hopefully be seen in the 2023-2024 year when there is a change from trimesters to semesters

===Point People===

*Bansari Modi
*Asher Sprigler

===Key Tactics===

*Help to improve Students' Mental, Physical, and Spiritual health through the prototyping and introduction of the MSOE Morning
*Encourage professors to create student led projects that are ambiguous in nature
*Creative thinking workshops in classes

 
=Cohort 4: 2020=

==Priority 1: Increase Awareness of MSOE's I&E Resources==
As we identified in our I&E landscape, building off of past cohorts, we have a ton of I&E resources at MSOE! However, many students only learn about these resources through connections they make in specific classes and with specific people, often half way or later through their academic careers. What if we could introduce MSOE students to these resources right away? What if students could get plugged in to

===Time-frame===

*Initial plan is by end of 2021 School year

===Point People===

*Jonathan Wagenknecht

===Key Tactics===

*Advertise MSOE's I&E resources across campus in the form of posters and advertisements that convey the who, what, when, where, and why of I&E
*Create Hub of MSOE's I&E resources online so students and professors know what is available
*be sure to convey the value behind these resources
*Explain WHAT Innovation, Design Thinking, and Entrepreneurship are

==Priority 2: I&E Accesible Tools for MSOE Students==

*'''Portable d.thinking cart on-campus & pop-up d.thinking workshops: '''The goal of these accesible tools is to push students to practice I&E skills outside of typical academic courses. These accesible tools are a way for all innovators students to reach further than before to network, come up with innovative solutions to problems, and utilize entrepreneurship in the classroom as well as outside of it.

===Time-frame===

*The initial plan is to have a prototype running by the Winter Quarter of 2020 and will continue on if it succeeds.

===Point People===

*Sofia Paredes along with other innovators on-campus will be in-charged of this project.

===Key Tactics===

*Identify the suitable locations for these I&E accesible tools
*Present the data acquired from the pop up d.thinking workshop prototype
*Connect with Academic Heads, Residence Life, Student Life and Create Institute regarding the long-term effect of the project towards the MSOE community
*Request for funding from the school or student government to have a prototype made available
*Each cart will have a ton of post-it notes, markers, and other extra materials that will suit the majors' needs

==Priority 3: Community Board==

===Purpose===
Thar goal of this project to create a centralized area which notifies, connects and enhances the I&E landscape of MSOE. The community board will be a focal point for people to be aware of the "maker" resources MSOE has to offer as well as broadcast the success stories of MSOE students.

===Strategy===
To implement this project the following are key items that need to be addressed:

*The community board needs to be in a location which has a diverse high foot traffic.
*The board itself needs to be catch the observers eye and bring the in to read what is on it.
*Condense all f MSOE's resources into one easy to follow document
*Offer the ability to connect students with similar goals

===Time-frame===
ideal launch date is during Spring quarter. The physical project can be created at anytime but for the full roll out to happen, concerns over the spread of COVIS-19 need to subside.

===Point People===
Lead: Alex Wilhelm

===Key Tactics===
Create a survey to find key areas which feel like they get stuck when trying to innovate or start a business
Reach out to department heads that are in charge of the makers spaces to compile the requirements to use the spaces.

==Priority 4: Improving student confidence and ability to Spin Out: Story Series with Connections==

"There are a lot of successful entrepreneurs who studied at MSOE.
Their stories are not being told.
We find their stories and we share them each Friday in a short bulleted email."

https://innovationhub.carrd.co
===Time-frame===

*The newsletter will be sent each week
*Within 4 weeks there should be enough feedback/learning done to uncover target student sentiment

===Point People===

*Paul Rinaldi

===Key Tactics===

*Validate market segment of students interested
*Collect stories from campus story champions
*Send newsletter emails(emails or on our msoe uif website on webflow?) with feedback forms to track hypotheses/assumptions (put on a webflow?)
*Present data/results at stakeholder meeting

='''Cohort 3: 2019'''=

'''Strategy One: Bringing student ideas to life'''

===='''Why: Many students on campus have ideas about side projects, businesses, etc. but they don't know how to move forward with an idea, who to connect with, where to obtain funding, etc.'''====

Possible solutions:

*Idea Consulting
**Students ("Ideators") with ideas sit down with a consultant (either UIFellows or students trained by UIFellows) to develop their ideas into action items they can actually walk away with and work on to bring their idea to life. Ideators work through the following activities with a consultant:
<ul style="margin-left: 80px;">
<li>Developing a HMW statement</li>
<li>Brainstorming ideas for the HMW statement</li>
<li>Identifying stakeholders</li>
</ul>

'''Strategy Two: '''Encouraging engineering/business major collaboration

====Why: Some business students don't understand the technical side of product development and many engineering students don't understand the business side of idea development. While many students have amazing ideas, they don't know how to reach out to the other discipline to understand their perspective/knowledge.====

Possible solutions:

*Startup Fair
<ul style="margin-left: 40px;">
<li><span style="font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; background-color: transparent; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Mirroring the BioE Reverse Career Fair that occurs at MSOE, students with an idea would set up booths around a public area (such as our Campus Center) to "pitch" their ideas and obtain feedback, mentors, partners, funding etc. Students looking for projects to work on would walk around the fair and could possibly discover a project to work on, be inspired to develop their own ideas, or be able to network with other like-minded individuals. Industry professionals could also be invited.</li>
</ul>

'''Strategy Three: '''Continuously exposing students to I & E early in their careers

====Why: Students do not understand the value of I & E in MSOE, in Milwaukee, or even in the whole world. We want to help them develop as I & E leaders, as this knowledge can help them in any future path they decide to take. Early exposure will help students better apply their knowledge to their classes, internships, etc.====

Possible solutions:

*Introducing freshmen to I & E early on in their higher education journey
**Holding d.thinking workshops in PBL classes (such as the Honors courses)
**Helping develop lab procedures through d.thinking

*Training student organizations about how to conduct and leverage the power of d.thinking workshops
**Holding d.thinking workshops to foster growth in student organizations abd help develop/brainstorm new project ideas (geared towards newer organizations)
**Conduct landscape canvas activity in order to help organizations identify key resources available to them (campus, local community, etc.)

*<span style="font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Have a freshman design lab
**<span style="font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This would mirror the senior design labs, but it would only be a trimester long and it would be a smaller-scale project. This could be implemented during the introductory class for each major.

'''Strategy Four: '''Strengthening on-campus I & E culture

====Why: Students do not understand the value of I & E in MSOE, in Milwaukee, or even in the whole world. We want to help them develop as I & E leaders, as this knowledge can help them in any future path they decide to take. By developing a culture, we can leave an I & E legacy that can be carried throughout generations even when we don't attend MSOE as students.====

Possible solutions:

*Having a student I & E council
**This could be an offshoot of UIF, where students take ideas developed by us and continue them when we can't (as we continuously undertake new projects).
**This could be unassociated with UIF. Currently, we have an Investment and Entrepreneurship Club on campus, but it isn't well recognized. We could work with them to develop events and a culture of I & E on campus.



=COHORT 2: 2018=

==Idea 1: #MSOE-Inspire Competition==

'''Summary'''

#MSOE-Inspire is a competition geared towards teaching students about the process of coming up with new and innovative ideas. This is done through communicating with people from other majors as well as doing everything in a time limit. Students will form at least a group of two members, with a partner from another major. They will have 48 hours to come up with a new and innovative idea and create a prototype or proof of concept. The competition will begin Saturday morning, giving the students the full weekend to work on the project, before concluding with a presentation in fair-style during Monday on free hour. The incentive will be that the winning team will get guidance or funding to help them start a start up, meanwhile the losing teams will have a good start on something to work on or pursue should they want to continue down that path.

'''Goal'''

The goal of this project is to encourage students to be more involved within their community and instil a sense of entrepreneurship. As it stands, it is a topic that is rarely tackled at the school, and when it is, its very low profile.The other goal is to encourage communication between the majors in the school.

'''Summary'''

When speaking with MSOE students we notice that they often lose their sense of wonder along with their enthusiasm for school after the first semester of their freshman year. We want to make sure that they are able to continue succeeding along with having a good school life balance. To do this we interviewed a few students and we noticed that they tend to be the most stressed around midterms around weeks 5-7. This is even more apparent during the fall semester when they have no breaks during the semester and feels like the longest of the three. To remedy this we will be providing therapy dogs and pizza during Week 5 to ensure students are able to get through the ‘hump’ of the semester. We hope that this will allow students to be happier throughout their stay in the school.

'''Goal'''

The goal of this project is to ensure students are able to make it through the mid semester hump where all of their midterms are beginning to take a toll on them. We want to ensure that MSOE students are able to keep their school life balance and not just focus on their school work at all times.

'''Summary'''

For our startup meetup idea, we would have a big startup fair, where students with ideas can come and present either their polished startup ideas, or their very early stage ideas to a crowd of students who want to participate in a startup, but don’t necessarily have a specific startup idea. After the presentations all of the attendees will have time to walk around and connect with the founders of other startups. The goal of this whole event would be to help the student founders fill gaps in their company with other students at MSOE. This way not only are we providing an invaluable resource of a talent pool to these student founders, but we are also providing a way for other students, who don’t have a specific idea but want to be involved in entrepreneurship, a way to follow their passion and start innovating on someone else’s idea.

'''Goal'''

The goal of this quarterly event would be for to increase the innovation related opportunities that are on campus for students to participate in them. It also is an interesting and low cost way for the school to help and support these startups with resources besides just money. It would provide the talent pool of the student body and allow everyone to work on something they are passionate about, whether they came to the event with an idea, or came looking for one.

'''Summary'''

To prototype this type of event I hosted a small study group in my room and compared two scenarios. For the first part of the study group everyone sat quietly and did not interact amongst each other however once I started playing some music and passed around a plate of cookies everyone started to warm up and started mingling and working together. At the end of the study group I interviewed some of the attendees and tried to get their opinions on if they thought this type of event could help boost the campus vibe between everyone on campus. We hope to do this, but on a much larger scale in the Campus Center. This is where many students hangout and do homework and would be a cool place to have everyone gather to chill on Friday afternoons for free cookies and a DJ.

'''Goal'''

The main goal of this recurring event would be to help MSOE students destress and take a break from their academic studies. Also this would be a good way to improve the connection of the students, and create a more unified student body.

='''Cohort 1: 2017''' =

 '''Strategy One: Lack of Strong Entrepreneurial Foundation'''

Our solution was to create a dedicated space on campus that would allow students to come together, hold events, meetings, run workshops, and be entrepreneurs. This space would enable thinkers and tinkerers to ponder their ideas. It wouldhaveaconference roomsformeetings to take place - especially those involving proprietary information. Thespacewouldbe outlined as follows:

What does it have (~1200 sq ft space)?
<div>'''Tables '''(several) - small, separable, combinable, mobile, simple</div><div>'''Chairs '''(hella several) - simple, comfortable, mobile</div><div>'''Stationery Whiteboards''' (3) - one on each wall without a window, rather wide, has a holster for markers and a cloth, spans the height of the wall, good quality - easy to clean</div><div>'''Mobile Whiteboards''' (10) - mobile, lightweight, can be stood up, has a small holder for a marker and cloth, good quality - easy to clean</div><div>'''Supplies '''- a wall of supplies, organized in a way that is a balance between obvious and easy to maintain, office supplies such as: pens, markers, post-it’s, loose paper, stapler, hole punch, etc., creativity supplies like different material scraps, tape, glue, whatever makes its way into the space to enable quick (within a minute) prototyping and explaining</div><div>'''Projector & Screen''' in front of open area or tables - with sufficient cables/adapters, so short presentations can be given</div><div> </div>
What does it offer?
<div>Space for entrepreneurs and innovators (intentionally vague) to gather, run through their ideas with themselves or others, and iterate through ideas they’re working on. Thespaceismeant to eliminate anything that might be barrier to a person or group’s process. Thespaceeasesand aids the process of individual and team work. Thespacewillalso serve as a place for events, workshops, and learning sessions to be held. It can be rented out by a company, even sponsored if they so please. It will adapt to needs while still maintaining an identity that is innovation, creativity, productivity, and entrepreneurship. It will provide the tools to enable students and faculty alike to succeed in their aspirations as well as just tinker and complete work on a day to day basis.  </div><div> </div><div> </div>
'''Strategy Two: Improve Overbearing IP/Patent Policy'''

The IP policy for MSOE outlines a process in which MSOE is involved every step of the way and should know of any ideas emerging from use of campus resources immediately. The policy is written in vague terms when it comes to what qualifies an idea as belongingtothembut is very explicit when it comes to qualifying the only circumstances under which an idea or project is solely that the of the student who created it. Many students are not aware of this, and many faculty have not thoroughly read through the policy if at all. The problem truly stems from the university’s reaction to students creating ideas and jumping on their intuition. Rewriting the policy is a good start to driving the mindset and reaction of staff and faculty members here towards truly embracing student’s creativity and innovative leaps. The policy should also define a lesser imposition on faculty members to report any and all of their breakthroughs and ideas as those of the university. It should fall under the same or similar rules to students. MSOE claims to have the desire to drive forward ideas that benefit the greater good of anyone and everyone, but have yet to act on such claims significantly. Suggestions of revisions are below (in unofficial terminology):
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>WHOLE IP POLICY: If the idea was of the student and the student has demonstrated control of the project and has been the driving force for the idea/business/project, it is theirs. If the student used MSOE resources including and limited to class time, seed funding, regular use of space, and a faculty champion, they are to attribute 5% of earnings back to MSOE.</li>
<li>WHOLE IP POLICY: If the student can demonstrate and convince the current president that they were able to do this without MSOE resources or intervention, the idea is wholly the students. If not, MSOE is entitled to 10% equity or royalties.</li>
</ul>

Feedback: having things simpler might not work - easier to flex things one particular way or another if it’s too simple. In this case, things will need to be more explicit. Current policy is also not explicit with some things, leaving room for MSOE to be overbearing

'''Strategy Three: Inspire and Create a Startup Community'''

MSOE I&E Lecture Series is the first step to building a strong, connected and vibrant I&E community on campus. Every week the Lecture Series will host a new speaker who will present on the theme of innovation and entrepreneurship. Each lecture session will provide free food for audience members and Q&A sessions after the presentation.

Topics are not strictly focused on business and engineering! Anyone who deals with innovation can be a presenter. Artists, musicians, dancers, actors, designers - many different careers use I&E and are topics for discussion. The goal of the lecture series is to inspire, teach and motivate viewers to explore I&E. By generating conversations and excitement around I&E, it will provide market research and support to further develop I&E activities, facilities and venues across campus.
<div>'''<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap">MSOE Lecture Series'''''':''' Due to relatively low operational cost and availability of lecture facilities, MSOE Lecture Series programming could start next fall of the academic year (18-19).

For future iterations of this plan, a weekly event or activity should be implemented. Demonstrations and entertainment focused presentations should have a larger priority over strictly academic lectures. Activities should provide value to the audience and have them leaving satisfied in the time they have invested.</div><div> </div>
'''Strategy Four: Series of Innovative and Entrepreneurial Events'''

Once the first step of creating the makerspace oncampusis complete, there a number of events, ideas, and activities that thespace willbe used for. One way thespace willserve I&E is through different events on campus that are listed below. These include (but are not limited to) Speakers and TED Talks, Pop-Up Classes, an annual Make-a-thon, I&E Workshops, and a number of other events that are sure to pop up as thespace becomesutilized and available to other groups on and off of campus. These events can be brought to thespace bystudent organizations, facultyandstaff, interested students, the community, professors for class applications, theunviersity, and a number of other avenues. Findexample ofactivities below.

'''Speakers and TED Talks'''

Bringing speakers to our campus and our makerspace totalk about I&E would be an amazing way to motivate students to get involved and get thinking about I&E. We would like speakers to cover topics such as startups, design thinking, entrepreneurial financing, and many other topics. We would really like to see the TED-X Speakers come to our campus and present to our students, faculty and staff, the community and any other interested party. TED talks would be a great way to expand knowledge and interest in the I&E field. We would also like to see our own faculty speak about the research that they are a part of outside of classes and office hours so that we can get to know what it is that they are truly passionate about.

'''Pop-Up Classes'''

These classes are an opportunity for those with experience in I&E to share that experience and for those who want to learn more/ expand their knowledge to continue to grow in I&E. Classes would cover topics such as brainstorming, prototyping, design thinking, and creating innovative solutions. === Make-a-thon

An annual Make-a-thon wouldprovide students an opportunity to collaborate between disciplines and to work together to think in terms of I&E and come up with new, future-forward ideas. This is an event for students to come together, brainstorm, prototype, andpossible implementand ideathat they are passionate about. === I&E Workshops

Workshops would be a more hands-on version of the pop-up classes that would allow students the opportunity to drop in a session and learn a few things about I&E by physically prototyping, brainstorming, and creating ideas. 

'''Strategy Five: Lack of Involvement from Staff/Faculty to Ensure we Move Forward'''

The key to success through change on campus stems from transparent communication between staff/faculty and students.  Tomaintanconstant transparent communication, the campus community would benefit from a monthly fish bowl exercise between staff/faculty and students.  The fish bowl exercise would consist of a safe space for students to communicate with higher level staff/faculty who are stakeholders at MSOE and have the power to implement change. The exercisewould havetworounds: 1) Staff/faculty in the middle and students on the outside 2) Students in the middle and staff/faculty on the outside.  Students would submit any question they wanted to discuss via an anonymous survey and a facilitator would run the discussion between staff/faculty and students.  Staff/faculty would ensure thatthe space is welcoming for students to feel comfortable sharing how they feel about campus.  The fishbowl exercisescould be broken down into categories per month such as academics, student life, athletics, internships, etc.  Thefish bowl exercise would also be live streamed and recorded for students and staff/faculty that could not attend that month's meeting.

'''Makerspace:'''

Stay tuned! There is more to come on the Makerspace as we get information and develop the space furthur. This will be an exciting space for the internal operations, external operations, community, and students, facultyand staffat MSOE. It will be a space for events, activities, studying, collaboration, speakers, outside events, community involvement, and many MANY other applications.

'''Key Features:''' Movable furniture,  Prototyping supplies,  Technology,  Other

Priorities:Milwaukee School of Engineering Student Priorities

2024-11-04T02:07:39Z

Jaminthoughts: /* Priority 1: Building a Commuter Space */

=Overview=

Milwaukee School of Engineering is excited to share with you the strategies we have created for establishing I&E on campus and in our community. We currently have a presence on campus,but feel that it is too disperse and needs to be connected, strengthened, and highlighted as a priority in order to educate and excite people about the power of I&E.

On this page you will find five strategies to create a presence of I&E on our MSOE campus that will help students, faculty, staff, the community, and all other people where our outreach extends to learn and get excited about brainstorming, entrepreneurship, innovative thinking, forming creative solutions, thinking future-forward, prototyping, design thinking, and implementation.

 
=Cohort 7: 2024=

==Priority 1: Building a Commuter Space==
A commuter space provides a dedicated environment for off-campus students to feel included, meet others, and access resources. Since commuters might feel disconnected, this space serves as a central hub for engagement with campus services, by providing equal opportunity to feel welcomed on campus.

===Timeframe===

*Our cohort is looking to have a functioning prototype / model by the end of the 2024 / 2025 school year.

===Point People===
Zachary Burke - Primary

Mai Nguyen - Secondary

Benjamin Leshin - Secondary

===Key Tactics===

*TBD
*TBD
*TBD

*TBD

 
==Priority 2: Improving Tutoring Services with Mentorship and Incentives==
A stronger tutoring program with mentorship and incentives makes academic support more attractive and effective. This program can work in tandem with the other two projects by bringing mentors or tutors into the commuter space to reach more students, ensuring those resources and support systems are readily accessible and encouraging a culture of peer support.

===Timeframe===

*Our cohort is looking to have a functioning prototype / model by the end of the 2024 / 2025 school year.

===Point People===
Mai Nguyen - Primary

Benjamin Leshin - Secondary

Zachary Burke - Secondary

===Key Tactics===

*TBD
*TBD
*TBD

*TBD

 
==Priority 3: Developing Resources for Higher Utilization==
When more students are aware of and comfortable using available resources (like technical equipment), it builds a stronger mindset for innovation and growth. This helps increase the likelihood that students will succeed academically and socially by reducing stress and cultivating creativity.

===Timeframe===

*Our cohort is looking to have a functioning prototype / model by the end of the 2024 / 2025 school year.

===Point People===
Benjamin Leshin - Primary

Zachary Burke - Secondary

Mai Nguyen - Secondary

===Key Tactics===

* Identify why students have not heard of the spaces and/or why they do not use them.

*Bring awareness to the different maker spaces and labs available on campus.
*Create resources to help students feel more comfortable using the equipment.
*Host events to get students into the spaces and familiarize themselves with each space.
*Campaign for professors to involve the spaces more than they already do.

=Cohort 6: 2023=

==Priority 1: Increasing relations between current students at MSOE and alumni==

===Time-frame===
Ideas will be tested over the course of the 23/24 school year and fully implemented in the 24/25.

===Point People===
Noah Nieberle - Primary

===Key Tactics===

*Identify current connection between students and alumni
*Ease or improve avenues of communication for students and alumni
*Provide opportunities for groups to interact in established events

<big>'''Priority 2 : Provide a space for CAECM students to experience 3d concrete printing'''</big>

Point People - Louisa Essuman

Key Tactics

*Identify building projects ongoing at MSOE through conversations with senior faculty members.
*Talk with people leading on campus maker spaces.
*Conduct surveys to understand the needs of the CAECM student population.
*Research new tech innovations in the Construction space.

=Cohort 5: 2022=

==Priority 1: Recognizing Opportunity Cost for Students Who Want to Participate in I&E==
"The loss of potential gain from other alternatives when one alternative is chosen" is how Oxford languages defines Opportunity Cost. For many MSOE students, the opportunity cost of engaging in I&E activities as they currently stand (generally campus events) is simply too high; many simply don't see enough value to sacrifice time that they could spend on their coursework and others have already committed themselves to various meetings for student organizations. In this priority, we seek to identify how we can lower the opportunity cost for students to engage in I&E activities

===Time-frame===

*Ideas tested over the course of the 2022-23 academic year

===Point People===

*James Siedchlag - Primary
*Ben Paulson - Support

===Key Tactics===

*Identify specific reasons why students do or do not identify I&E events
*Connect with campus leaders who are involved in the planning of events (I&E and otherwise, for example: Campus Life) to determine what makes a good event for MSOE
*Explore non-event ways that students can engage with I&E content and develop community, for example, a wiki.
*Make it possible for students who don't have room for business and entrepreneurship topics on their course track to engage with that course content outside of classes.
*Maintain events on a regular schedule, allowing students a lengthy, future-track calendar to build their schedules around.

==Priority 2: Community Outreach==
The resources provided by UIF are beneficial to all majors, and helping more people realize their I&E journey helps us. Based in a larger school in downtown of the most populated city in Wisconsin provides an immense network of possible connections to enhance both UIF and others in the Milwaukee area. By increasing collaboration between student organizations at MSOE, UIF becomes well-known around campus throughout an increasing number of majors, as well as providing all clubs avenues to incorporate I&E in their agendas for a meeting. Collaboration outside of MSOE also increases the quality of knowledge provided at UIF events to students, showcasing alternative viewpoints not available within the current MSOE-networking ecosystem.

===Time-frame===

*Current contacts with/within tech-focused student organizations.
*2022-2023 expansion of relationships to include non-tech student organizations.
*2022-2023 discussion series to be determined with MKE Tech Hub

===Point People===

*Benjamin Paulson - Primary
*Bansari Modi - Support

===Key Tactics===

*Expand UIF events to more majors -- beyond current trend of tech-heavy majors. Follow up for student organization outreach.
**Joint-effort workshops between UIF and another student-drive organization. Builds connections for both involved parties, as well as expanding to topics attendees may not be exposed to in their majors.
*Collaborate with Milwaukee entrepreneurs through platforms like MKE Tech Coalition, Milky Way Tech Hub, and Gener8or.
**Build regular series to integrate Milwaukee entrepreneurs with MSOE entrepreneurial mindset.
**Follow up with business platforms to invite UIF-event attendees to spin-out events.

==Priority 3: Motivating Others by Making Student Success More Visible==
For the majority of human history, it was thought beyond the capabilities of the human body for an individual to run a mile in under four minutes. When Roger Bannister ran the first sub-four minute mile, seven other athletes then accomplished the same within two months. There is invaluable power, and also incredible restrictions, that come with the mindsets we hold in our daily lives. While we can't hope to change everyone's minds instantly, we can work to make students believe that they can succeed with their independent ventures. Through creating more opportunities to display student success, we can help others visualize and pursue their passions.

===Time-frame===

*Preliminary Tactics to be planned and proposed by the end of 2022
*Permanent fixtures to be implemented around campus by the end of the 2022-2023 school year

===Point People===

*Asher Sprigler - Primary
*James Siedchlag - Support

===Key Tactics===

*Work with Student Success coaches in RCAS and the CREATE Institute to research peer motivation
*Collaborate with MSOE Marketing to advertise independent projects through existing digital signage and Online Website
*Establish a permanent display of some variety in The COVE (existing Maker Space)
*Work with the Innovent Center in the Rader School of Business to create a standing record of start-ups

==Priority 4: Fostering Creativity Through Entrepreneurial Mindfulness==
As an engineering school, MSOE often prioritizes rapid recall of knowledge that requires convergent thinking from students instead of divergent thinking. This needs to change because part of being a successful innovator is embracing creativity and learning to look at a situation through multiple perspectives. Despite what is normally thought of creativity in engineering, the engineering field is one that requires it the most. STEM fields are constantly required to design new ideas to overcome problems and by giving students a chance to practice this we ensure that they are prepared to think outside of the box.

===Time-frame===

*Planning will be done throughout the 2022-2023 year
*Results should hopefully be seen in the 2023-2024 year when there is a change from trimesters to semesters

===Point People===

*Bansari Modi
*Asher Sprigler

===Key Tactics===

*Help to improve Students' Mental, Physical, and Spiritual health through the prototyping and introduction of the MSOE Morning
*Encourage professors to create student led projects that are ambiguous in nature
*Creative thinking workshops in classes

 
=Cohort 4: 2020=

==Priority 1: Increase Awareness of MSOE's I&E Resources==
As we identified in our I&E landscape, building off of past cohorts, we have a ton of I&E resources at MSOE! However, many students only learn about these resources through connections they make in specific classes and with specific people, often half way or later through their academic careers. What if we could introduce MSOE students to these resources right away? What if students could get plugged in to

===Time-frame===

*Initial plan is by end of 2021 School year

===Point People===

*Jonathan Wagenknecht

===Key Tactics===

*Advertise MSOE's I&E resources across campus in the form of posters and advertisements that convey the who, what, when, where, and why of I&E
*Create Hub of MSOE's I&E resources online so students and professors know what is available
*be sure to convey the value behind these resources
*Explain WHAT Innovation, Design Thinking, and Entrepreneurship are

==Priority 2: I&E Accesible Tools for MSOE Students==

*'''Portable d.thinking cart on-campus & pop-up d.thinking workshops: '''The goal of these accesible tools is to push students to practice I&E skills outside of typical academic courses. These accesible tools are a way for all innovators students to reach further than before to network, come up with innovative solutions to problems, and utilize entrepreneurship in the classroom as well as outside of it.

===Time-frame===

*The initial plan is to have a prototype running by the Winter Quarter of 2020 and will continue on if it succeeds.

===Point People===

*Sofia Paredes along with other innovators on-campus will be in-charged of this project.

===Key Tactics===

*Identify the suitable locations for these I&E accesible tools
*Present the data acquired from the pop up d.thinking workshop prototype
*Connect with Academic Heads, Residence Life, Student Life and Create Institute regarding the long-term effect of the project towards the MSOE community
*Request for funding from the school or student government to have a prototype made available
*Each cart will have a ton of post-it notes, markers, and other extra materials that will suit the majors' needs

==Priority 3: Community Board==

===Purpose===
Thar goal of this project to create a centralized area which notifies, connects and enhances the I&E landscape of MSOE. The community board will be a focal point for people to be aware of the "maker" resources MSOE has to offer as well as broadcast the success stories of MSOE students.

===Strategy===
To implement this project the following are key items that need to be addressed:

*The community board needs to be in a location which has a diverse high foot traffic.
*The board itself needs to be catch the observers eye and bring the in to read what is on it.
*Condense all f MSOE's resources into one easy to follow document
*Offer the ability to connect students with similar goals

===Time-frame===
ideal launch date is during Spring quarter. The physical project can be created at anytime but for the full roll out to happen, concerns over the spread of COVIS-19 need to subside.

===Point People===
Lead: Alex Wilhelm

===Key Tactics===
Create a survey to find key areas which feel like they get stuck when trying to innovate or start a business
Reach out to department heads that are in charge of the makers spaces to compile the requirements to use the spaces.

==Priority 4: Improving student confidence and ability to Spin Out: Story Series with Connections==

"There are a lot of successful entrepreneurs who studied at MSOE.
Their stories are not being told.
We find their stories and we share them each Friday in a short bulleted email."

https://innovationhub.carrd.co
===Time-frame===

*The newsletter will be sent each week
*Within 4 weeks there should be enough feedback/learning done to uncover target student sentiment

===Point People===

*Paul Rinaldi

===Key Tactics===

*Validate market segment of students interested
*Collect stories from campus story champions
*Send newsletter emails(emails or on our msoe uif website on webflow?) with feedback forms to track hypotheses/assumptions (put on a webflow?)
*Present data/results at stakeholder meeting

='''Cohort 3: 2019'''=

'''Strategy One: Bringing student ideas to life'''

===='''Why: Many students on campus have ideas about side projects, businesses, etc. but they don't know how to move forward with an idea, who to connect with, where to obtain funding, etc.'''====

Possible solutions:

*Idea Consulting
**Students ("Ideators") with ideas sit down with a consultant (either UIFellows or students trained by UIFellows) to develop their ideas into action items they can actually walk away with and work on to bring their idea to life. Ideators work through the following activities with a consultant:
<ul style="margin-left: 80px;">
<li>Developing a HMW statement</li>
<li>Brainstorming ideas for the HMW statement</li>
<li>Identifying stakeholders</li>
</ul>

'''Strategy Two: '''Encouraging engineering/business major collaboration

====Why: Some business students don't understand the technical side of product development and many engineering students don't understand the business side of idea development. While many students have amazing ideas, they don't know how to reach out to the other discipline to understand their perspective/knowledge.====

Possible solutions:

*Startup Fair
<ul style="margin-left: 40px;">
<li><span style="font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; background-color: transparent; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Mirroring the BioE Reverse Career Fair that occurs at MSOE, students with an idea would set up booths around a public area (such as our Campus Center) to "pitch" their ideas and obtain feedback, mentors, partners, funding etc. Students looking for projects to work on would walk around the fair and could possibly discover a project to work on, be inspired to develop their own ideas, or be able to network with other like-minded individuals. Industry professionals could also be invited.</li>
</ul>

'''Strategy Three: '''Continuously exposing students to I & E early in their careers

====Why: Students do not understand the value of I & E in MSOE, in Milwaukee, or even in the whole world. We want to help them develop as I & E leaders, as this knowledge can help them in any future path they decide to take. Early exposure will help students better apply their knowledge to their classes, internships, etc.====

Possible solutions:

*Introducing freshmen to I & E early on in their higher education journey
**Holding d.thinking workshops in PBL classes (such as the Honors courses)
**Helping develop lab procedures through d.thinking

*Training student organizations about how to conduct and leverage the power of d.thinking workshops
**Holding d.thinking workshops to foster growth in student organizations abd help develop/brainstorm new project ideas (geared towards newer organizations)
**Conduct landscape canvas activity in order to help organizations identify key resources available to them (campus, local community, etc.)

*<span style="font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Have a freshman design lab
**<span style="font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This would mirror the senior design labs, but it would only be a trimester long and it would be a smaller-scale project. This could be implemented during the introductory class for each major.

'''Strategy Four: '''Strengthening on-campus I & E culture

====Why: Students do not understand the value of I & E in MSOE, in Milwaukee, or even in the whole world. We want to help them develop as I & E leaders, as this knowledge can help them in any future path they decide to take. By developing a culture, we can leave an I & E legacy that can be carried throughout generations even when we don't attend MSOE as students.====

Possible solutions:

*Having a student I & E council
**This could be an offshoot of UIF, where students take ideas developed by us and continue them when we can't (as we continuously undertake new projects).
**This could be unassociated with UIF. Currently, we have an Investment and Entrepreneurship Club on campus, but it isn't well recognized. We could work with them to develop events and a culture of I & E on campus.



=COHORT 2: 2018=

==Idea 1: #MSOE-Inspire Competition==

'''Summary'''

#MSOE-Inspire is a competition geared towards teaching students about the process of coming up with new and innovative ideas. This is done through communicating with people from other majors as well as doing everything in a time limit. Students will form at least a group of two members, with a partner from another major. They will have 48 hours to come up with a new and innovative idea and create a prototype or proof of concept. The competition will begin Saturday morning, giving the students the full weekend to work on the project, before concluding with a presentation in fair-style during Monday on free hour. The incentive will be that the winning team will get guidance or funding to help them start a start up, meanwhile the losing teams will have a good start on something to work on or pursue should they want to continue down that path.

'''Goal'''

The goal of this project is to encourage students to be more involved within their community and instil a sense of entrepreneurship. As it stands, it is a topic that is rarely tackled at the school, and when it is, its very low profile.The other goal is to encourage communication between the majors in the school.

'''Summary'''

When speaking with MSOE students we notice that they often lose their sense of wonder along with their enthusiasm for school after the first semester of their freshman year. We want to make sure that they are able to continue succeeding along with having a good school life balance. To do this we interviewed a few students and we noticed that they tend to be the most stressed around midterms around weeks 5-7. This is even more apparent during the fall semester when they have no breaks during the semester and feels like the longest of the three. To remedy this we will be providing therapy dogs and pizza during Week 5 to ensure students are able to get through the ‘hump’ of the semester. We hope that this will allow students to be happier throughout their stay in the school.

'''Goal'''

The goal of this project is to ensure students are able to make it through the mid semester hump where all of their midterms are beginning to take a toll on them. We want to ensure that MSOE students are able to keep their school life balance and not just focus on their school work at all times.

'''Summary'''

For our startup meetup idea, we would have a big startup fair, where students with ideas can come and present either their polished startup ideas, or their very early stage ideas to a crowd of students who want to participate in a startup, but don’t necessarily have a specific startup idea. After the presentations all of the attendees will have time to walk around and connect with the founders of other startups. The goal of this whole event would be to help the student founders fill gaps in their company with other students at MSOE. This way not only are we providing an invaluable resource of a talent pool to these student founders, but we are also providing a way for other students, who don’t have a specific idea but want to be involved in entrepreneurship, a way to follow their passion and start innovating on someone else’s idea.

'''Goal'''

The goal of this quarterly event would be for to increase the innovation related opportunities that are on campus for students to participate in them. It also is an interesting and low cost way for the school to help and support these startups with resources besides just money. It would provide the talent pool of the student body and allow everyone to work on something they are passionate about, whether they came to the event with an idea, or came looking for one.

'''Summary'''

To prototype this type of event I hosted a small study group in my room and compared two scenarios. For the first part of the study group everyone sat quietly and did not interact amongst each other however once I started playing some music and passed around a plate of cookies everyone started to warm up and started mingling and working together. At the end of the study group I interviewed some of the attendees and tried to get their opinions on if they thought this type of event could help boost the campus vibe between everyone on campus. We hope to do this, but on a much larger scale in the Campus Center. This is where many students hangout and do homework and would be a cool place to have everyone gather to chill on Friday afternoons for free cookies and a DJ.

'''Goal'''

The main goal of this recurring event would be to help MSOE students destress and take a break from their academic studies. Also this would be a good way to improve the connection of the students, and create a more unified student body.

='''Cohort 1: 2017''' =

 '''Strategy One: Lack of Strong Entrepreneurial Foundation'''

Our solution was to create a dedicated space on campus that would allow students to come together, hold events, meetings, run workshops, and be entrepreneurs. This space would enable thinkers and tinkerers to ponder their ideas. It wouldhaveaconference roomsformeetings to take place - especially those involving proprietary information. Thespacewouldbe outlined as follows:

What does it have (~1200 sq ft space)?
<div>'''Tables '''(several) - small, separable, combinable, mobile, simple</div><div>'''Chairs '''(hella several) - simple, comfortable, mobile</div><div>'''Stationery Whiteboards''' (3) - one on each wall without a window, rather wide, has a holster for markers and a cloth, spans the height of the wall, good quality - easy to clean</div><div>'''Mobile Whiteboards''' (10) - mobile, lightweight, can be stood up, has a small holder for a marker and cloth, good quality - easy to clean</div><div>'''Supplies '''- a wall of supplies, organized in a way that is a balance between obvious and easy to maintain, office supplies such as: pens, markers, post-it’s, loose paper, stapler, hole punch, etc., creativity supplies like different material scraps, tape, glue, whatever makes its way into the space to enable quick (within a minute) prototyping and explaining</div><div>'''Projector & Screen''' in front of open area or tables - with sufficient cables/adapters, so short presentations can be given</div><div> </div>
What does it offer?
<div>Space for entrepreneurs and innovators (intentionally vague) to gather, run through their ideas with themselves or others, and iterate through ideas they’re working on. Thespaceismeant to eliminate anything that might be barrier to a person or group’s process. Thespaceeasesand aids the process of individual and team work. Thespacewillalso serve as a place for events, workshops, and learning sessions to be held. It can be rented out by a company, even sponsored if they so please. It will adapt to needs while still maintaining an identity that is innovation, creativity, productivity, and entrepreneurship. It will provide the tools to enable students and faculty alike to succeed in their aspirations as well as just tinker and complete work on a day to day basis.  </div><div> </div><div> </div>
'''Strategy Two: Improve Overbearing IP/Patent Policy'''

The IP policy for MSOE outlines a process in which MSOE is involved every step of the way and should know of any ideas emerging from use of campus resources immediately. The policy is written in vague terms when it comes to what qualifies an idea as belongingtothembut is very explicit when it comes to qualifying the only circumstances under which an idea or project is solely that the of the student who created it. Many students are not aware of this, and many faculty have not thoroughly read through the policy if at all. The problem truly stems from the university’s reaction to students creating ideas and jumping on their intuition. Rewriting the policy is a good start to driving the mindset and reaction of staff and faculty members here towards truly embracing student’s creativity and innovative leaps. The policy should also define a lesser imposition on faculty members to report any and all of their breakthroughs and ideas as those of the university. It should fall under the same or similar rules to students. MSOE claims to have the desire to drive forward ideas that benefit the greater good of anyone and everyone, but have yet to act on such claims significantly. Suggestions of revisions are below (in unofficial terminology):
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>WHOLE IP POLICY: If the idea was of the student and the student has demonstrated control of the project and has been the driving force for the idea/business/project, it is theirs. If the student used MSOE resources including and limited to class time, seed funding, regular use of space, and a faculty champion, they are to attribute 5% of earnings back to MSOE.</li>
<li>WHOLE IP POLICY: If the student can demonstrate and convince the current president that they were able to do this without MSOE resources or intervention, the idea is wholly the students. If not, MSOE is entitled to 10% equity or royalties.</li>
</ul>

Feedback: having things simpler might not work - easier to flex things one particular way or another if it’s too simple. In this case, things will need to be more explicit. Current policy is also not explicit with some things, leaving room for MSOE to be overbearing

'''Strategy Three: Inspire and Create a Startup Community'''

MSOE I&E Lecture Series is the first step to building a strong, connected and vibrant I&E community on campus. Every week the Lecture Series will host a new speaker who will present on the theme of innovation and entrepreneurship. Each lecture session will provide free food for audience members and Q&A sessions after the presentation.

Topics are not strictly focused on business and engineering! Anyone who deals with innovation can be a presenter. Artists, musicians, dancers, actors, designers - many different careers use I&E and are topics for discussion. The goal of the lecture series is to inspire, teach and motivate viewers to explore I&E. By generating conversations and excitement around I&E, it will provide market research and support to further develop I&E activities, facilities and venues across campus.

'''Strategy Four: Series of Innovative and Entrepreneurial Events'''

Once the first step of creating the makerspace oncampusis complete, there a number of events, ideas, and activities that thespace willbe used for. One way thespace willserve I&E is through different events on campus that are listed below. These include (but are not limited to) Speakers and TED Talks, Pop-Up Classes, an annual Make-a-thon, I&E Workshops, and a number of other events that are sure to pop up as thespace becomesutilized and available to other groups on and off of campus. These events can be brought to thespace bystudent organizations, facultyandstaff, interested students, the community, professors for class applications, theunviersity, and a number of other avenues. Findexample ofactivities below.

'''Speakers and TED Talks'''

Bringing speakers to our campus and our makerspace totalk about I&E would be an amazing way to motivate students to get involved and get thinking about I&E. We would like speakers to cover topics such as startups, design thinking, entrepreneurial financing, and many other topics. We would really like to see the TED-X Speakers come to our campus and present to our students, faculty and staff, the community and any other interested party. TED talks would be a great way to expand knowledge and interest in the I&E field. We would also like to see our own faculty speak about the research that they are a part of outside of classes and office hours so that we can get to know what it is that they are truly passionate about.

'''Pop-Up Classes'''

These classes are an opportunity for those with experience in I&E to share that experience and for those who want to learn more/ expand their knowledge to continue to grow in I&E. Classes would cover topics such as brainstorming, prototyping, design thinking, and creating innovative solutions. === Make-a-thon

An annual Make-a-thon wouldprovide students an opportunity to collaborate between disciplines and to work together to think in terms of I&E and come up with new, future-forward ideas. This is an event for students to come together, brainstorm, prototype, andpossible implementand ideathat they are passionate about. === I&E Workshops

Workshops would be a more hands-on version of the pop-up classes that would allow students the opportunity to drop in a session and learn a few things about I&E by physically prototyping, brainstorming, and creating ideas. 

'''Strategy Five: Lack of Involvement from Staff/Faculty to Ensure we Move Forward'''

The key to success through change on campus stems from transparent communication between staff/faculty and students.  Tomaintanconstant transparent communication, the campus community would benefit from a monthly fish bowl exercise between staff/faculty and students.  The fish bowl exercise would consist of a safe space for students to communicate with higher level staff/faculty who are stakeholders at MSOE and have the power to implement change. The exercisewould havetworounds: 1) Staff/faculty in the middle and students on the outside 2) Students in the middle and staff/faculty on the outside.  Students would submit any question they wanted to discuss via an anonymous survey and a facilitator would run the discussion between staff/faculty and students.  Staff/faculty would ensure thatthe space is welcoming for students to feel comfortable sharing how they feel about campus.  The fishbowl exercisescould be broken down into categories per month such as academics, student life, athletics, internships, etc.  Thefish bowl exercise would also be live streamed and recorded for students and staff/faculty that could not attend that month's meeting.

'''Makerspace:'''

Stay tuned! There is more to come on the Makerspace as we get information and develop the space furthur. This will be an exciting space for the internal operations, external operations, community, and students, facultyand staffat MSOE. It will be a space for events, activities, studying, collaboration, speakers, outside events, community involvement, and many MANY other applications.

'''Key Features:''' Movable furniture,  Prototyping supplies,  Technology,  Other

Jaminthoughts: /* Cohort 7: 2024 */

=Overview=

Milwaukee School of Engineering is excited to share with you the strategies we have created for establishing I&E on campus and in our community. We currently have a presence on campus,but feel that it is too disperse and needs to be connected, strengthened, and highlighted as a priority in order to educate and excite people about the power of I&E.

On this page you will find five strategies to create a presence of I&E on our MSOE campus that will help students, faculty, staff, the community, and all other people where our outreach extends to learn and get excited about brainstorming, entrepreneurship, innovative thinking, forming creative solutions, thinking future-forward, prototyping, design thinking, and implementation.

 
=Cohort 7: 2024=

=Cohort 6: 2023=

==Priority 1: Increasing relations between current students at MSOE and alumni==

===Time-frame===
Ideas will be tested over the course of the 23/24 school year and fully implemented in the 24/25.

===Point People===
Noah Nieberle - Primary

===Key Tactics===

*Identify current connection between students and alumni
*Ease or improve avenues of communication for students and alumni
*Provide opportunities for groups to interact in established events

<big>'''Priority 2 : Provide a space for CAECM students to experience 3d concrete printing'''</big>

Point People - Louisa Essuman

Key Tactics

*Identify building projects ongoing at MSOE through conversations with senior faculty members.
*Talk with people leading on campus maker spaces.
*Conduct surveys to understand the needs of the CAECM student population.
*Research new tech innovations in the Construction space.

=Cohort 5: 2022=

==Priority 1: Recognizing Opportunity Cost for Students Who Want to Participate in I&E==
"The loss of potential gain from other alternatives when one alternative is chosen" is how Oxford languages defines Opportunity Cost. For many MSOE students, the opportunity cost of engaging in I&E activities as they currently stand (generally campus events) is simply too high; many simply don't see enough value to sacrifice time that they could spend on their coursework and others have already committed themselves to various meetings for student organizations. In this priority, we seek to identify how we can lower the opportunity cost for students to engage in I&E activities

===Time-frame===

*Ideas tested over the course of the 2022-23 academic year

===Point People===

*James Siedchlag - Primary
*Ben Paulson - Support

===Key Tactics===

*Identify specific reasons why students do or do not identify I&E events
*Connect with campus leaders who are involved in the planning of events (I&E and otherwise, for example: Campus Life) to determine what makes a good event for MSOE
*Explore non-event ways that students can engage with I&E content and develop community, for example, a wiki.
*Make it possible for students who don't have room for business and entrepreneurship topics on their course track to engage with that course content outside of classes.
*Maintain events on a regular schedule, allowing students a lengthy, future-track calendar to build their schedules around.

==Priority 2: Community Outreach==
The resources provided by UIF are beneficial to all majors, and helping more people realize their I&E journey helps us. Based in a larger school in downtown of the most populated city in Wisconsin provides an immense network of possible connections to enhance both UIF and others in the Milwaukee area. By increasing collaboration between student organizations at MSOE, UIF becomes well-known around campus throughout an increasing number of majors, as well as providing all clubs avenues to incorporate I&E in their agendas for a meeting. Collaboration outside of MSOE also increases the quality of knowledge provided at UIF events to students, showcasing alternative viewpoints not available within the current MSOE-networking ecosystem.

===Time-frame===

*Current contacts with/within tech-focused student organizations.
*2022-2023 expansion of relationships to include non-tech student organizations.
*2022-2023 discussion series to be determined with MKE Tech Hub

===Point People===

*Benjamin Paulson - Primary
*Bansari Modi - Support

===Key Tactics===

*Expand UIF events to more majors -- beyond current trend of tech-heavy majors. Follow up for student organization outreach.
**Joint-effort workshops between UIF and another student-drive organization. Builds connections for both involved parties, as well as expanding to topics attendees may not be exposed to in their majors.
*Collaborate with Milwaukee entrepreneurs through platforms like MKE Tech Coalition, Milky Way Tech Hub, and Gener8or.
**Build regular series to integrate Milwaukee entrepreneurs with MSOE entrepreneurial mindset.
**Follow up with business platforms to invite UIF-event attendees to spin-out events.

==Priority 3: Motivating Others by Making Student Success More Visible==
For the majority of human history, it was thought beyond the capabilities of the human body for an individual to run a mile in under four minutes. When Roger Bannister ran the first sub-four minute mile, seven other athletes then accomplished the same within two months. There is invaluable power, and also incredible restrictions, that come with the mindsets we hold in our daily lives. While we can't hope to change everyone's minds instantly, we can work to make students believe that they can succeed with their independent ventures. Through creating more opportunities to display student success, we can help others visualize and pursue their passions.

===Time-frame===

*Preliminary Tactics to be planned and proposed by the end of 2022
*Permanent fixtures to be implemented around campus by the end of the 2022-2023 school year

===Point People===

*Asher Sprigler - Primary
*James Siedchlag - Support

===Key Tactics===

*Work with Student Success coaches in RCAS and the CREATE Institute to research peer motivation
*Collaborate with MSOE Marketing to advertise independent projects through existing digital signage and Online Website
*Establish a permanent display of some variety in The COVE (existing Maker Space)
*Work with the Innovent Center in the Rader School of Business to create a standing record of start-ups

==Priority 4: Fostering Creativity Through Entrepreneurial Mindfulness==
As an engineering school, MSOE often prioritizes rapid recall of knowledge that requires convergent thinking from students instead of divergent thinking. This needs to change because part of being a successful innovator is embracing creativity and learning to look at a situation through multiple perspectives. Despite what is normally thought of creativity in engineering, the engineering field is one that requires it the most. STEM fields are constantly required to design new ideas to overcome problems and by giving students a chance to practice this we ensure that they are prepared to think outside of the box.

===Time-frame===

*Planning will be done throughout the 2022-2023 year
*Results should hopefully be seen in the 2023-2024 year when there is a change from trimesters to semesters

===Point People===

*Bansari Modi
*Asher Sprigler

===Key Tactics===

*Help to improve Students' Mental, Physical, and Spiritual health through the prototyping and introduction of the MSOE Morning
*Encourage professors to create student led projects that are ambiguous in nature
*Creative thinking workshops in classes

 
=Cohort 4: 2020=

==Priority 1: Increase Awareness of MSOE's I&E Resources==
As we identified in our I&E landscape, building off of past cohorts, we have a ton of I&E resources at MSOE! However, many students only learn about these resources through connections they make in specific classes and with specific people, often half way or later through their academic careers. What if we could introduce MSOE students to these resources right away? What if students could get plugged in to

===Time-frame===

*Initial plan is by end of 2021 School year

===Point People===

*Jonathan Wagenknecht

===Key Tactics===

*Advertise MSOE's I&E resources across campus in the form of posters and advertisements that convey the who, what, when, where, and why of I&E
*Create Hub of MSOE's I&E resources online so students and professors know what is available
*be sure to convey the value behind these resources
*Explain WHAT Innovation, Design Thinking, and Entrepreneurship are

==Priority 2: I&E Accesible Tools for MSOE Students==

*'''Portable d.thinking cart on-campus & pop-up d.thinking workshops: '''The goal of these accesible tools is to push students to practice I&E skills outside of typical academic courses. These accesible tools are a way for all innovators students to reach further than before to network, come up with innovative solutions to problems, and utilize entrepreneurship in the classroom as well as outside of it.

===Time-frame===

*The initial plan is to have a prototype running by the Winter Quarter of 2020 and will continue on if it succeeds.

===Point People===

*Sofia Paredes along with other innovators on-campus will be in-charged of this project.

===Key Tactics===

*Identify the suitable locations for these I&E accesible tools
*Present the data acquired from the pop up d.thinking workshop prototype
*Connect with Academic Heads, Residence Life, Student Life and Create Institute regarding the long-term effect of the project towards the MSOE community
*Request for funding from the school or student government to have a prototype made available
*Each cart will have a ton of post-it notes, markers, and other extra materials that will suit the majors' needs

==Priority 3: Community Board==

===Purpose===
Thar goal of this project to create a centralized area which notifies, connects and enhances the I&E landscape of MSOE. The community board will be a focal point for people to be aware of the "maker" resources MSOE has to offer as well as broadcast the success stories of MSOE students.

===Strategy===
To implement this project the following are key items that need to be addressed:

*The community board needs to be in a location which has a diverse high foot traffic.
*The board itself needs to be catch the observers eye and bring the in to read what is on it.
*Condense all f MSOE's resources into one easy to follow document
*Offer the ability to connect students with similar goals

===Time-frame===
ideal launch date is during Spring quarter. The physical project can be created at anytime but for the full roll out to happen, concerns over the spread of COVIS-19 need to subside.

===Point People===
Lead: Alex Wilhelm

===Key Tactics===
Create a survey to find key areas which feel like they get stuck when trying to innovate or start a business
Reach out to department heads that are in charge of the makers spaces to compile the requirements to use the spaces.

==Priority 4: Improving student confidence and ability to Spin Out: Story Series with Connections==

"There are a lot of successful entrepreneurs who studied at MSOE.
Their stories are not being told.
We find their stories and we share them each Friday in a short bulleted email."

https://innovationhub.carrd.co
===Time-frame===

*The newsletter will be sent each week
*Within 4 weeks there should be enough feedback/learning done to uncover target student sentiment

===Point People===

*Paul Rinaldi

===Key Tactics===

*Validate market segment of students interested
*Collect stories from campus story champions
*Send newsletter emails(emails or on our msoe uif website on webflow?) with feedback forms to track hypotheses/assumptions (put on a webflow?)
*Present data/results at stakeholder meeting

='''Cohort 3: 2019'''=

'''Strategy One: Bringing student ideas to life'''

===='''Why: Many students on campus have ideas about side projects, businesses, etc. but they don't know how to move forward with an idea, who to connect with, where to obtain funding, etc.'''====

Possible solutions:

*Idea Consulting
**Students ("Ideators") with ideas sit down with a consultant (either UIFellows or students trained by UIFellows) to develop their ideas into action items they can actually walk away with and work on to bring their idea to life. Ideators work through the following activities with a consultant:
<ul style="margin-left: 80px;">
<li>Developing a HMW statement</li>
<li>Brainstorming ideas for the HMW statement</li>
<li>Identifying stakeholders</li>
</ul>

'''Strategy Two: '''Encouraging engineering/business major collaboration

====Why: Some business students don't understand the technical side of product development and many engineering students don't understand the business side of idea development. While many students have amazing ideas, they don't know how to reach out to the other discipline to understand their perspective/knowledge.====

Possible solutions:

*Startup Fair
<ul style="margin-left: 40px;">
<li><span style="font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; background-color: transparent; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Mirroring the BioE Reverse Career Fair that occurs at MSOE, students with an idea would set up booths around a public area (such as our Campus Center) to "pitch" their ideas and obtain feedback, mentors, partners, funding etc. Students looking for projects to work on would walk around the fair and could possibly discover a project to work on, be inspired to develop their own ideas, or be able to network with other like-minded individuals. Industry professionals could also be invited.</li>
</ul>

'''Strategy Three: '''Continuously exposing students to I & E early in their careers

====Why: Students do not understand the value of I & E in MSOE, in Milwaukee, or even in the whole world. We want to help them develop as I & E leaders, as this knowledge can help them in any future path they decide to take. Early exposure will help students better apply their knowledge to their classes, internships, etc.====

Possible solutions:

*Introducing freshmen to I & E early on in their higher education journey
**Holding d.thinking workshops in PBL classes (such as the Honors courses)
**Helping develop lab procedures through d.thinking

*Training student organizations about how to conduct and leverage the power of d.thinking workshops
**Holding d.thinking workshops to foster growth in student organizations abd help develop/brainstorm new project ideas (geared towards newer organizations)
**Conduct landscape canvas activity in order to help organizations identify key resources available to them (campus, local community, etc.)

*<span style="font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Have a freshman design lab
**<span style="font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This would mirror the senior design labs, but it would only be a trimester long and it would be a smaller-scale project. This could be implemented during the introductory class for each major.

'''Strategy Four: '''Strengthening on-campus I & E culture

====Why: Students do not understand the value of I & E in MSOE, in Milwaukee, or even in the whole world. We want to help them develop as I & E leaders, as this knowledge can help them in any future path they decide to take. By developing a culture, we can leave an I & E legacy that can be carried throughout generations even when we don't attend MSOE as students.====

Possible solutions:

*Having a student I & E council
**This could be an offshoot of UIF, where students take ideas developed by us and continue them when we can't (as we continuously undertake new projects).
**This could be unassociated with UIF. Currently, we have an Investment and Entrepreneurship Club on campus, but it isn't well recognized. We could work with them to develop events and a culture of I & E on campus.



=COHORT 2: 2018=

==Idea 1: #MSOE-Inspire Competition==

'''Summary'''

#MSOE-Inspire is a competition geared towards teaching students about the process of coming up with new and innovative ideas. This is done through communicating with people from other majors as well as doing everything in a time limit. Students will form at least a group of two members, with a partner from another major. They will have 48 hours to come up with a new and innovative idea and create a prototype or proof of concept. The competition will begin Saturday morning, giving the students the full weekend to work on the project, before concluding with a presentation in fair-style during Monday on free hour. The incentive will be that the winning team will get guidance or funding to help them start a start up, meanwhile the losing teams will have a good start on something to work on or pursue should they want to continue down that path.

'''Goal'''

The goal of this project is to encourage students to be more involved within their community and instil a sense of entrepreneurship. As it stands, it is a topic that is rarely tackled at the school, and when it is, its very low profile.The other goal is to encourage communication between the majors in the school.

'''Summary'''

When speaking with MSOE students we notice that they often lose their sense of wonder along with their enthusiasm for school after the first semester of their freshman year. We want to make sure that they are able to continue succeeding along with having a good school life balance. To do this we interviewed a few students and we noticed that they tend to be the most stressed around midterms around weeks 5-7. This is even more apparent during the fall semester when they have no breaks during the semester and feels like the longest of the three. To remedy this we will be providing therapy dogs and pizza during Week 5 to ensure students are able to get through the ‘hump’ of the semester. We hope that this will allow students to be happier throughout their stay in the school.

'''Goal'''

The goal of this project is to ensure students are able to make it through the mid semester hump where all of their midterms are beginning to take a toll on them. We want to ensure that MSOE students are able to keep their school life balance and not just focus on their school work at all times.

'''Summary'''

For our startup meetup idea, we would have a big startup fair, where students with ideas can come and present either their polished startup ideas, or their very early stage ideas to a crowd of students who want to participate in a startup, but don’t necessarily have a specific startup idea. After the presentations all of the attendees will have time to walk around and connect with the founders of other startups. The goal of this whole event would be to help the student founders fill gaps in their company with other students at MSOE. This way not only are we providing an invaluable resource of a talent pool to these student founders, but we are also providing a way for other students, who don’t have a specific idea but want to be involved in entrepreneurship, a way to follow their passion and start innovating on someone else’s idea.

'''Goal'''

The goal of this quarterly event would be for to increase the innovation related opportunities that are on campus for students to participate in them. It also is an interesting and low cost way for the school to help and support these startups with resources besides just money. It would provide the talent pool of the student body and allow everyone to work on something they are passionate about, whether they came to the event with an idea, or came looking for one.

'''Summary'''

To prototype this type of event I hosted a small study group in my room and compared two scenarios. For the first part of the study group everyone sat quietly and did not interact amongst each other however once I started playing some music and passed around a plate of cookies everyone started to warm up and started mingling and working together. At the end of the study group I interviewed some of the attendees and tried to get their opinions on if they thought this type of event could help boost the campus vibe between everyone on campus. We hope to do this, but on a much larger scale in the Campus Center. This is where many students hangout and do homework and would be a cool place to have everyone gather to chill on Friday afternoons for free cookies and a DJ.

'''Goal'''

The main goal of this recurring event would be to help MSOE students destress and take a break from their academic studies. Also this would be a good way to improve the connection of the students, and create a more unified student body.

 '''Strategy One: Lack of Strong Entrepreneurial Foundation'''

Our solution was to create a dedicated space on campus that would allow students to come together, hold events, meetings, run workshops, and be entrepreneurs. This space would enable thinkers and tinkerers to ponder their ideas. It wouldhaveaconference roomsformeetings to take place - especially those involving proprietary information. Thespacewouldbe outlined as follows:

What does it have (~1200 sq ft space)?
<div>'''Tables '''(several) - small, separable, combinable, mobile, simple</div><div>'''Chairs '''(hella several) - simple, comfortable, mobile</div><div>'''Stationery Whiteboards''' (3) - one on each wall without a window, rather wide, has a holster for markers and a cloth, spans the height of the wall, good quality - easy to clean</div><div>'''Mobile Whiteboards''' (10) - mobile, lightweight, can be stood up, has a small holder for a marker and cloth, good quality - easy to clean</div><div>'''Supplies '''- a wall of supplies, organized in a way that is a balance between obvious and easy to maintain, office supplies such as: pens, markers, post-it’s, loose paper, stapler, hole punch, etc., creativity supplies like different material scraps, tape, glue, whatever makes its way into the space to enable quick (within a minute) prototyping and explaining</div><div>'''Projector & Screen''' in front of open area or tables - with sufficient cables/adapters, so short presentations can be given</div><div> </div>
What does it offer?
<div>Space for entrepreneurs and innovators (intentionally vague) to gather, run through their ideas with themselves or others, and iterate through ideas they’re working on.

'''Strategy Two: Improve Overbearing IP/Patent Policy'''

The IP policy for MSOE outlines a process in which MSOE is involved every step of the way and should know of any ideas emerging from use of campus resources immediately. The policy is written in vague terms when it comes to what qualifies an idea as belongingtothembut is very explicit when it comes to qualifying the only circumstances under which an idea or project is solely that the of the student who created it. Many students are not aware of this, and many faculty have not thoroughly read through the policy if at all. The problem truly stems from the university’s reaction to students creating ideas and jumping on their intuition. Rewriting the policy is a good start to driving the mindset and reaction of staff and faculty members here towards truly embracing student’s creativity and innovative leaps. The policy should also define a lesser imposition on faculty members to report any and all of their breakthroughs and ideas as those of the university. It should fall under the same or similar rules to students. MSOE claims to have the desire to drive forward ideas that benefit the greater good of anyone and everyone, but have yet to act on such claims significantly. Suggestions of revisions are below (in unofficial terminology):
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>WHOLE IP POLICY: If the idea was of the student and the student has demonstrated control of the project and has been the driving force for the idea/business/project, it is theirs. If the student used MSOE resources including and limited to class time, seed funding, regular use of space, and a faculty champion, they are to attribute 5% of earnings back to MSOE.</li>
<li>WHOLE IP POLICY: If the student can demonstrate and convince the current president that they were able to do this without MSOE resources or intervention, the idea is wholly the students. If not, MSOE is entitled to 10% equity or royalties.</li>
</ul>

Feedback: having things simpler might not work - easier to flex things one particular way or another if it’s too simple. In this case, things will need to be more explicit. Current policy is also not explicit with some things, leaving room for MSOE to be overbearing

'''Strategy Three: Inspire and Create a Startup Community'''

MSOE I&E Lecture Series is the first step to building a strong, connected and vibrant I&E community on campus. Every week the Lecture Series will host a new speaker who will present on the theme of innovation and entrepreneurship. Each lecture session will provide free food for audience members and Q&A sessions after the presentation.

Topics are not strictly focused on business and engineering! Anyone who deals with innovation can be a presenter. Artists, musicians, dancers, actors, designers - many different careers use I&E and are topics for discussion. The goal of the lecture series is to inspire, teach and motivate viewers to explore I&E. By generating conversations and excitement around I&E, it will provide market research and support to further develop I&E activities, facilities and venues across campus.

For future iterations of this plan, a weekly event or activity should be implemented. Demonstrations and entertainment focused presentations should have a larger priority over strictly academic lectures. Activities should provide value to the audience and have them leaving satisfied in the time they have invested.</div><div> </div>
'''Strategy Four: Series of Innovative and Entrepreneurial Events'''

Once the first step of creating the makerspace oncampusis complete, there a number of events, ideas, and activities that thespace willbe used for. One way thespace willserve I&E is through different events on campus that are listed below. These include (but are not limited to) Speakers and TED Talks, Pop-Up Classes, an annual Make-a-thon, I&E Workshops, and a number of other events that are sure to pop up as thespace becomesutilized and available to other groups on and off of campus. These events can be brought to thespace bystudent organizations, facultyandstaff, interested students, the community, professors for class applications, theunviersity, and a number of other avenues. Findexample ofactivities below.

'''Speakers and TED Talks'''

Bringing speakers to our campus and our makerspace totalk about I&E would be an amazing way to motivate students to get involved and get thinking about I&E. We would like speakers to cover topics such as startups, design thinking, entrepreneurial financing, and many other topics. We would really like to see the TED-X Speakers come to our campus and present to our students, faculty and staff, the community and any other interested party. TED talks would be a great way to expand knowledge and interest in the I&E field. We would also like to see our own faculty speak about the research that they are a part of outside of classes and office hours so that we can get to know what it is that they are truly passionate about.

'''Pop-Up Classes'''

These classes are an opportunity for those with experience in I&E to share that experience and for those who want to learn more/ expand their knowledge to continue to grow in I&E. Classes would cover topics such as brainstorming, prototyping, design thinking, and creating innovative solutions. === Make-a-thon

An annual Make-a-thon wouldprovide students an opportunity to collaborate between disciplines and to work together to think in terms of I&E and come up with new, future-forward ideas. This is an event for students to come together, brainstorm, prototype, andpossible implementand ideathat they are passionate about. === I&E Workshops

Workshops would be a more hands-on version of the pop-up classes that would allow students the opportunity to drop in a session and learn a few things about I&E by physically prototyping, brainstorming, and creating ideas. 

'''Strategy Five: Lack of Involvement from Staff/Faculty to Ensure we Move Forward'''

The key to success through change on campus stems from transparent communication between staff/faculty and students.  Tomaintanconstant transparent communication, the campus community would benefit from a monthly fish bowl exercise between staff/faculty and students.  The fish bowl exercise would consist of a safe space for students to communicate with higher level staff/faculty who are stakeholders at MSOE and have the power to implement change. The exercisewould havetworounds: 1) Staff/faculty in the middle and students on the outside 2) Students in the middle and staff/faculty on the outside.  Students would submit any question they wanted to discuss via an anonymous survey and a facilitator would run the discussion between staff/faculty and students.  Staff/faculty would ensure thatthe space is welcoming for students to feel comfortable sharing how they feel about campus.  The fishbowl exercisescould be broken down into categories per month such as academics, student life, athletics, internships, etc.  Thefish bowl exercise would also be live streamed and recorded for students and staff/faculty that could not attend that month's meeting.

'''Makerspace:'''

Stay tuned! There is more to come on the Makerspace as we get information and develop the space furthur. This will be an exciting space for the internal operations, external operations, community, and students, facultyand staffat MSOE. It will be a space for events, activities, studying, collaboration, speakers, outside events, community involvement, and many MANY other applications.

'''Key Features:''' Movable furniture,  Prototyping supplies,  Technology,  Other

Jaminthoughts:

=Overview=

Milwaukee School of Engineering is excited to share with you the strategies we have created for establishing I&E on campus and in our community. We currently have a presence on campus,but feel that it is too disperse and needs to be connected, strengthened, and highlighted as a priority in order to educate and excite people about the power of I&E.

On this page you will find five strategies to create a presence of I&E on our MSOE campus that will help students, faculty, staff, the community, and all other people where our outreach extends to learn and get excited about brainstorming, entrepreneurship, innovative thinking, forming creative solutions, thinking future-forward, prototyping, design thinking, and implementation.

=Cohort 6: 2023=

==Priority 1: Increasing relations between current students at MSOE and alumni==

===Time-frame===
Ideas will be tested over the course of the 23/24 school year and fully implemented in the 24/25.

===Point People===
Noah Nieberle - Primary

===Key Tactics===

*Identify current connection between students and alumni
*Ease or improve avenues of communication for students and alumni
*Provide opportunities for groups to interact in established events

<big>'''Priority 2 : Provide a space for CAECM students to experience 3d concrete printing'''</big>

Point People - Louisa Essuman

Key Tactics

*Identify building projects ongoing at MSOE through conversations with senior faculty members.
*Talk with people leading on campus maker spaces.
*Conduct surveys to understand the needs of the CAECM student population.
*Research new tech innovations in the Construction space.

=Cohort 5: 2022=

==Priority 1: Recognizing Opportunity Cost for Students Who Want to Participate in I&E==
"The loss of potential gain from other alternatives when one alternative is chosen" is how Oxford languages defines Opportunity Cost. For many MSOE students, the opportunity cost of engaging in I&E activities as they currently stand (generally campus events) is simply too high; many simply don't see enough value to sacrifice time that they could spend on their coursework and others have already committed themselves to various meetings for student organizations. In this priority, we seek to identify how we can lower the opportunity cost for students to engage in I&E activities

===Time-frame===

*Ideas tested over the course of the 2022-23 academic year

===Point People===

*James Siedchlag - Primary
*Ben Paulson - Support

===Key Tactics===

*Identify specific reasons why students do or do not identify I&E events
*Connect with campus leaders who are involved in the planning of events (I&E and otherwise, for example: Campus Life) to determine what makes a good event for MSOE
*Explore non-event ways that students can engage with I&E content and develop community, for example, a wiki.
*Make it possible for students who don't have room for business and entrepreneurship topics on their course track to engage with that course content outside of classes.
*Maintain events on a regular schedule, allowing students a lengthy, future-track calendar to build their schedules around.

==Priority 2: Community Outreach==
The resources provided by UIF are beneficial to all majors, and helping more people realize their I&E journey helps us. Based in a larger school in downtown of the most populated city in Wisconsin provides an immense network of possible connections to enhance both UIF and others in the Milwaukee area. By increasing collaboration between student organizations at MSOE, UIF becomes well-known around campus throughout an increasing number of majors, as well as providing all clubs avenues to incorporate I&E in their agendas for a meeting. Collaboration outside of MSOE also increases the quality of knowledge provided at UIF events to students, showcasing alternative viewpoints not available within the current MSOE-networking ecosystem.

===Time-frame===

*Current contacts with/within tech-focused student organizations.
*2022-2023 expansion of relationships to include non-tech student organizations.
*2022-2023 discussion series to be determined with MKE Tech Hub

===Point People===

*Benjamin Paulson - Primary
*Bansari Modi - Support

===Key Tactics===

*Expand UIF events to more majors -- beyond current trend of tech-heavy majors. Follow up for student organization outreach.
**Joint-effort workshops between UIF and another student-drive organization. Builds connections for both involved parties, as well as expanding to topics attendees may not be exposed to in their majors.
*Collaborate with Milwaukee entrepreneurs through platforms like MKE Tech Coalition, Milky Way Tech Hub, and Gener8or.
**Build regular series to integrate Milwaukee entrepreneurs with MSOE entrepreneurial mindset.
**Follow up with business platforms to invite UIF-event attendees to spin-out events.

==Priority 3: Motivating Others by Making Student Success More Visible==
For the majority of human history, it was thought beyond the capabilities of the human body for an individual to run a mile in under four minutes. When Roger Bannister ran the first sub-four minute mile, seven other athletes then accomplished the same within two months. There is invaluable power, and also incredible restrictions, that come with the mindsets we hold in our daily lives. While we can't hope to change everyone's minds instantly, we can work to make students believe that they can succeed with their independent ventures. Through creating more opportunities to display student success, we can help others visualize and pursue their passions.

===Time-frame===

*Preliminary Tactics to be planned and proposed by the end of 2022
*Permanent fixtures to be implemented around campus by the end of the 2022-2023 school year

===Point People===

*Asher Sprigler - Primary
*James Siedchlag - Support

===Key Tactics===

*Work with Student Success coaches in RCAS and the CREATE Institute to research peer motivation
*Collaborate with MSOE Marketing to advertise independent projects through existing digital signage and Online Website
*Establish a permanent display of some variety in The COVE (existing Maker Space)
*Work with the Innovent Center in the Rader School of Business to create a standing record of start-ups

==Priority 4: Fostering Creativity Through Entrepreneurial Mindfulness==
As an engineering school, MSOE often prioritizes rapid recall of knowledge that requires convergent thinking from students instead of divergent thinking. This needs to change because part of being a successful innovator is embracing creativity and learning to look at a situation through multiple perspectives. Despite what is normally thought of creativity in engineering, the engineering field is one that requires it the most. STEM fields are constantly required to design new ideas to overcome problems and by giving students a chance to practice this we ensure that they are prepared to think outside of the box.

===Time-frame===

*Planning will be done throughout the 2022-2023 year
*Results should hopefully be seen in the 2023-2024 year when there is a change from trimesters to semesters

===Point People===

*Bansari Modi
*Asher Sprigler

===Key Tactics===

*Help to improve Students' Mental, Physical, and Spiritual health through the prototyping and introduction of the MSOE Morning
*Encourage professors to create student led projects that are ambiguous in nature
*Creative thinking workshops in classes

 
=Cohort 4: 2020=

==Priority 1: Increase Awareness of MSOE's I&E Resources==
As we identified in our I&E landscape, building off of past cohorts, we have a ton of I&E resources at MSOE! However, many students only learn about these resources through connections they make in specific classes and with specific people, often half way or later through their academic careers. What if we could introduce MSOE students to these resources right away? What if students could get plugged in to

===Time-frame===

*Initial plan is by end of 2021 School year

===Point People===

*Jonathan Wagenknecht

===Key Tactics===

*Advertise MSOE's I&E resources across campus in the form of posters and advertisements that convey the who, what, when, where, and why of I&E
*Create Hub of MSOE's I&E resources online so students and professors know what is available
*be sure to convey the value behind these resources
*Explain WHAT Innovation, Design Thinking, and Entrepreneurship are

==Priority 2: I&E Accesible Tools for MSOE Students==

*'''Portable d.thinking cart on-campus & pop-up d.thinking workshops: '''The goal of these accesible tools is to push students to practice I&E skills outside of typical academic courses. These accesible tools are a way for all innovators students to reach further than before to network, come up with innovative solutions to problems, and utilize entrepreneurship in the classroom as well as outside of it.

===Time-frame===

*The initial plan is to have a prototype running by the Winter Quarter of 2020 and will continue on if it succeeds.

===Point People===

*Sofia Paredes along with other innovators on-campus will be in-charged of this project.

===Key Tactics===

*Identify the suitable locations for these I&E accesible tools
*Present the data acquired from the pop up d.thinking workshop prototype
*Connect with Academic Heads, Residence Life, Student Life and Create Institute regarding the long-term effect of the project towards the MSOE community
*Request for funding from the school or student government to have a prototype made available
*Each cart will have a ton of post-it notes, markers, and other extra materials that will suit the majors' needs

==Priority 3: Community Board==

===Purpose===
Thar goal of this project to create a centralized area which notifies, connects and enhances the I&E landscape of MSOE. The community board will be a focal point for people to be aware of the "maker" resources MSOE has to offer as well as broadcast the success stories of MSOE students.

===Strategy===
To implement this project the following are key items that need to be addressed:

*The community board needs to be in a location which has a diverse high foot traffic.
*The board itself needs to be catch the observers eye and bring the in to read what is on it.
*Condense all f MSOE's resources into one easy to follow document
*Offer the ability to connect students with similar goals

===Time-frame===
ideal launch date is during Spring quarter. The physical project can be created at anytime but for the full roll out to happen, concerns over the spread of COVIS-19 need to subside.

===Point People===
Lead: Alex Wilhelm

===Key Tactics===
Create a survey to find key areas which feel like they get stuck when trying to innovate or start a business
Reach out to department heads that are in charge of the makers spaces to compile the requirements to use the spaces.

==Priority 4: Improving student confidence and ability to Spin Out: Story Series with Connections==

"There are a lot of successful entrepreneurs who studied at MSOE.
Their stories are not being told.
We find their stories and we share them each Friday in a short bulleted email."

https://innovationhub.carrd.co
===Time-frame===

*The newsletter will be sent each week
*Within 4 weeks there should be enough feedback/learning done to uncover target student sentiment

===Point People===

*Paul Rinaldi

===Key Tactics===

*Validate market segment of students interested
*Collect stories from campus story champions
*Send newsletter emails(emails or on our msoe uif website on webflow?) with feedback forms to track hypotheses/assumptions (put on a webflow?)
*Present data/results at stakeholder meeting

='''Cohort 3: 2019'''=

'''Strategy One: Bringing student ideas to life'''

===='''Why: Many students on campus have ideas about side projects, businesses, etc. but they don't know how to move forward with an idea, who to connect with, where to obtain funding, etc.'''====

Possible solutions:

*Idea Consulting
**Students ("Ideators") with ideas sit down with a consultant (either UIFellows or students trained by UIFellows) to develop their ideas into action items they can actually walk away with and work on to bring their idea to life. Ideators work through the following activities with a consultant:
<ul style="margin-left: 80px;">
<li>Developing a HMW statement</li>
<li>Brainstorming ideas for the HMW statement</li>
<li>Identifying stakeholders</li>
</ul>

'''Strategy Two: '''Encouraging engineering/business major collaboration

====Why: Some business students don't understand the technical side of product development and many engineering students don't understand the business side of idea development. While many students have amazing ideas, they don't know how to reach out to the other discipline to understand their perspective/knowledge.====

Possible solutions:

*Startup Fair
<ul style="margin-left: 40px;">
<li><span style="font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; background-color: transparent; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Mirroring the BioE Reverse Career Fair that occurs at MSOE, students with an idea would set up booths around a public area (such as our Campus Center) to "pitch" their ideas and obtain feedback, mentors, partners, funding etc. Students looking for projects to work on would walk around the fair and could possibly discover a project to work on, be inspired to develop their own ideas, or be able to network with other like-minded individuals. Industry professionals could also be invited.</li>
</ul>

'''Strategy Three: '''Continuously exposing students to I & E early in their careers

====Why: Students do not understand the value of I & E in MSOE, in Milwaukee, or even in the whole world. We want to help them develop as I & E leaders, as this knowledge can help them in any future path they decide to take. Early exposure will help students better apply their knowledge to their classes, internships, etc.====

Possible solutions:

*Introducing freshmen to I & E early on in their higher education journey
**Holding d.thinking workshops in PBL classes (such as the Honors courses)
**Helping develop lab procedures through d.thinking

*Training student organizations about how to conduct and leverage the power of d.thinking workshops
**Holding d.thinking workshops to foster growth in student organizations abd help develop/brainstorm new project ideas (geared towards newer organizations)
**Conduct landscape canvas activity in order to help organizations identify key resources available to them (campus, local community, etc.)

*<span style="font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Have a freshman design lab
**<span style="font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This would mirror the senior design labs, but it would only be a trimester long and it would be a smaller-scale project. This could be implemented during the introductory class for each major.

'''Strategy Four: '''Strengthening on-campus I & E culture

====Why: Students do not understand the value of I & E in MSOE, in Milwaukee, or even in the whole world. We want to help them develop as I & E leaders, as this knowledge can help them in any future path they decide to take. By developing a culture, we can leave an I & E legacy that can be carried throughout generations even when we don't attend MSOE as students.====

Possible solutions:

*Having a student I & E council
**This could be an offshoot of UIF, where students take ideas developed by us and continue them when we can't (as we continuously undertake new projects).
**This could be unassociated with UIF. Currently, we have an Investment and Entrepreneurship Club on campus, but it isn't well recognized. We could work with them to develop events and a culture of I & E on campus.



=COHORT 2: 2018=

==Idea 1: #MSOE-Inspire Competition==

'''Summary'''

#MSOE-Inspire is a competition geared towards teaching students about the process of coming up with new and innovative ideas. This is done through communicating with people from other majors as well as doing everything in a time limit. Students will form at least a group of two members, with a partner from another major. They will have 48 hours to come up with a new and innovative idea and create a prototype or proof of concept. The competition will begin Saturday morning, giving the students the full weekend to work on the project, before concluding with a presentation in fair-style during Monday on free hour. The incentive will be that the winning team will get guidance or funding to help them start a start up, meanwhile the losing teams will have a good start on something to work on or pursue should they want to continue down that path.

'''Goal'''

The goal of this project is to encourage students to be more involved within their community and instil a sense of entrepreneurship. As it stands, it is a topic that is rarely tackled at the school, and when it is, its very low profile.The other goal is to encourage communication between the majors in the school.

'''Summary'''

When speaking with MSOE students we notice that they often lose their sense of wonder along with their enthusiasm for school after the first semester of their freshman year. We want to make sure that they are able to continue succeeding along with having a good school life balance. To do this we interviewed a few students and we noticed that they tend to be the most stressed around midterms around weeks 5-7. This is even more apparent during the fall semester when they have no breaks during the semester and feels like the longest of the three. To remedy this we will be providing therapy dogs and pizza during Week 5 to ensure students are able to get through the ‘hump’ of the semester. We hope that this will allow students to be happier throughout their stay in the school.

'''Goal'''

The goal of this project is to ensure students are able to make it through the mid semester hump where all of their midterms are beginning to take a toll on them. We want to ensure that MSOE students are able to keep their school life balance and not just focus on their school work at all times.

'''Summary'''

For our startup meetup idea, we would have a big startup fair, where students with ideas can come and present either their polished startup ideas, or their very early stage ideas to a crowd of students who want to participate in a startup, but don’t necessarily have a specific startup idea. After the presentations all of the attendees will have time to walk around and connect with the founders of other startups. The goal of this whole event would be to help the student founders fill gaps in their company with other students at MSOE. This way not only are we providing an invaluable resource of a talent pool to these student founders, but we are also providing a way for other students, who don’t have a specific idea but want to be involved in entrepreneurship, a way to follow their passion and start innovating on someone else’s idea.

'''Goal'''

The goal of this quarterly event would be for to increase the innovation related opportunities that are on campus for students to participate in them. It also is an interesting and low cost way for the school to help and support these startups with resources besides just money. It would provide the talent pool of the student body and allow everyone to work on something they are passionate about, whether they came to the event with an idea, or came looking for one.

'''Summary'''

To prototype this type of event I hosted a small study group in my room and compared two scenarios. For the first part of the study group everyone sat quietly and did not interact amongst each other however once I started playing some music and passed around a plate of cookies everyone started to warm up and started mingling and working together. At the end of the study group I interviewed some of the attendees and tried to get their opinions on if they thought this type of event could help boost the campus vibe between everyone on campus. We hope to do this, but on a much larger scale in the Campus Center. This is where many students hangout and do homework and would be a cool place to have everyone gather to chill on Friday afternoons for free cookies and a DJ.

'''Goal'''

The main goal of this recurring event would be to help MSOE students destress and take a break from their academic studies. Also this would be a good way to improve the connection of the students, and create a more unified student body.

'''Materials'''

2 Large Speakers

='''Cohort 1: 2017''' =

 '''Strategy One: Lack of Strong Entrepreneurial Foundation'''

Our solution was to create a dedicated space on campus that would allow students to come together, hold events, meetings, run workshops, and be entrepreneurs. This space would enable thinkers and tinkerers to ponder their ideas. It wouldhaveaconference roomsformeetings to take place - especially those involving proprietary information. Thespacewouldbe outlined as follows:

What does it have (~1200 sq ft space)?
<div>'''Tables '''(several) - small, separable, combinable, mobile, simple</div><div>'''Chairs '''(hella several) - simple, comfortable, mobile</div><div>'''Stationery Whiteboards''' (3) - one on each wall without a window, rather wide, has a holster for markers and a cloth, spans the height of the wall, good quality - easy to clean</div><div>'''Mobile Whiteboards''' (10) - mobile, lightweight, can be stood up, has a small holder for a marker and cloth, good quality - easy to clean</div><div>'''Supplies '''- a wall of supplies, organized in a way that is a balance between obvious and easy to maintain, office supplies such as: pens, markers, post-it’s, loose paper, stapler, hole punch, etc., creativity supplies like different material scraps, tape, glue, whatever makes its way into the space to enable quick (within a minute) prototyping and explaining</div><div>'''Projector & Screen''' in front of open area or tables - with sufficient cables/adapters, so short presentations can be given</div><div> </div>
What does it offer?
<div>Space for entrepreneurs and innovators (intentionally vague) to gather, run through their ideas with themselves or others, and iterate through ideas they’re working on. Thespaceismeant to eliminate anything that might be barrier to a person or group’s process. Thespaceeasesand aids the process of individual and team work. Thespacewillalso serve as a place for events, workshops, and learning sessions to be held. It can be rented out by a company, even sponsored if they so please. It will adapt to needs while still maintaining an identity that is innovation, creativity, productivity, and entrepreneurship. It will provide the tools to enable students and faculty alike to succeed in their aspirations as well as just tinker and complete work on a day to day basis.  </div><div> </div><div> </div>
'''Strategy Two: Improve Overbearing IP/Patent Policy'''

The IP policy for MSOE outlines a process in which MSOE is involved every step of the way and should know of any ideas emerging from use of campus resources immediately. The policy is written in vague terms when it comes to what qualifies an idea as belongingtothembut is very explicit when it comes to qualifying the only circumstances under which an idea or project is solely that the of the student who created it. Many students are not aware of this, and many faculty have not thoroughly read through the policy if at all. The problem truly stems from the university’s reaction to students creating ideas and jumping on their intuition. Rewriting the policy is a good start to driving the mindset and reaction of staff and faculty members here towards truly embracing student’s creativity and innovative leaps. The policy should also define a lesser imposition on faculty members to report any and all of their breakthroughs and ideas as those of the university. It should fall under the same or similar rules to students. MSOE claims to have the desire to drive forward ideas that benefit the greater good of anyone and everyone, but have yet to act on such claims significantly. Suggestions of revisions are below (in unofficial terminology):
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>WHOLE IP POLICY: If the idea was of the student and the student has demonstrated control of the project and has been the driving force for the idea/business/project, it is theirs. If the student used MSOE resources including and limited to class time, seed funding, regular use of space, and a faculty champion, they are to attribute 5% of earnings back to MSOE.</li>
<li>WHOLE IP POLICY: If the student can demonstrate and convince the current president that they were able to do this without MSOE resources or intervention, the idea is wholly the students. If not, MSOE is entitled to 10% equity or royalties.</li>
</ul>

Feedback: having things simpler might not work - easier to flex things one particular way or another if it’s too simple. In this case, things will need to be more explicit. Current policy is also not explicit with some things, leaving room for MSOE to be overbearing

'''Strategy Three: Inspire and Create a Startup Community'''

MSOE I&E Lecture Series is the first step to building a strong, connected and vibrant I&E community on campus. Every week the Lecture Series will host a new speaker who will present on the theme of innovation and entrepreneurship. Each lecture session will provide free food for audience members and Q&A sessions after the presentation.

Topics are not strictly focused on business and engineering! Anyone who deals with innovation can be a presenter. Artists, musicians, dancers, actors, designers - many different careers use I&E and are topics for discussion. The goal of the lecture series is to inspire, teach and motivate viewers to explore I&E. By generating conversations and excitement around I&E, it will provide market research and support to further develop I&E activities, facilities and venues across campus.

Featured speakers, community I&E experts, and local artists will have a chance to speak and present engaging experiences to students and faculty.</div><div> </div><div>'''<span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap">MSOE Lecture Series - Night of Innovation'''''': '''With an established brand, and working with surrounding universities, twice a year, MSOE hosts “Night of Innovation”. High profile performers in music, the arts, business, engineering and/or science are booked for one evening show.This event will help fuel and generate interest in the MSOE Lecture Series program and raise awareness to I&E</div><div> </div><div>'''Student Feedback:'''</div><div>In general, people were receptive to the idea but wanted something fun rather than strictly academic. For future iterations of this plan, a weekly event or activity should be implemented. Demonstrations and entertainment focused presentations should have a larger priority over strictly academic lectures. Activities should provide value to the audience and have them leaving satisfied in the time they have invested.</div><div> </div>
'''Strategy Four: Series of Innovative and Entrepreneurial Events'''

Once the first step of creating the makerspace oncampusis complete, there a number of events, ideas, and activities that thespace willbe used for. One way thespace willserve I&E is through different events on campus that are listed below. These include (but are not limited to) Speakers and TED Talks, Pop-Up Classes, an annual Make-a-thon, I&E Workshops, and a number of other events that are sure to pop up as thespace becomesutilized and available to other groups on and off of campus. These events can be brought to thespace bystudent organizations, facultyandstaff, interested students, the community, professors for class applications, theunviersity, and a number of other avenues. Findexample ofactivities below.

'''Speakers and TED Talks'''

Bringing speakers to our campus and our makerspace totalk about I&E would be an amazing way to motivate students to get involved and get thinking about I&E. We would like speakers to cover topics such as startups, design thinking, entrepreneurial financing, and many other topics. We would really like to see the TED-X Speakers come to our campus and present to our students, faculty and staff, the community and any other interested party. TED talks would be a great way to expand knowledge and interest in the I&E field. We would also like to see our own faculty speak about the research that they are a part of outside of classes and office hours so that we can get to know what it is that they are truly passionate about.

'''Pop-Up Classes'''

These classes are an opportunity for those with experience in I&E to share that experience and for those who want to learn more/ expand their knowledge to continue to grow in I&E. Classes would cover topics such as brainstorming, prototyping, design thinking, and creating innovative solutions. === Make-a-thon

An annual Make-a-thon wouldprovide students an opportunity to collaborate between disciplines and to work together to think in terms of I&E and come up with new, future-forward ideas. This is an event for students to come together, brainstorm, prototype, andpossible implementand ideathat they are passionate about. === I&E Workshops

Workshops would be a more hands-on version of the pop-up classes that would allow students the opportunity to drop in a session and learn a few things about I&E by physically prototyping, brainstorming, and creating ideas. 

'''Strategy Five: Lack of Involvement from Staff/Faculty to Ensure we Move Forward'''

The key to success through change on campus stems from transparent communication between staff/faculty and students.  Tomaintanconstant transparent communication, the campus community would benefit from a monthly fish bowl exercise between staff/faculty and students.  The fish bowl exercise would consist of a safe space for students to communicate with higher level staff/faculty who are stakeholders at MSOE and have the power to implement change. The exercisewould havetworounds: 1) Staff/faculty in the middle and students on the outside 2) Students in the middle and staff/faculty on the outside.  Students would submit any question they wanted to discuss via an anonymous survey and a facilitator would run the discussion between staff/faculty and students.  Staff/faculty would ensure thatthe space is welcoming for students to feel comfortable sharing how they feel about campus.  The fishbowl exercisescould be broken down into categories per month such as academics, student life, athletics, internships, etc.  Thefish bowl exercise would also be live streamed and recorded for students and staff/faculty that could not attend that month's meeting.

'''Makerspace:'''

Stay tuned! There is more to come on the Makerspace as we get information and develop the space furthur. This will be an exciting space for the internal operations, external operations, community, and students, facultyand staffat MSOE. It will be a space for events, activities, studying, collaboration, speakers, outside events, community involvement, and many MANY other applications.

'''Key Features:''' Movable furniture,  Prototyping supplies,  Technology,  Other

Jaminthoughts: /* Cohort 7: 2024 */

=Overview=

Milwaukee School of Engineering is excited to share with you the strategies we have created for establishing I&E on campus and in our community. We currently have a presence on campus,but feel that it is too disperse and needs to be connected, strengthened, and highlighted as a priority in order to educate and excite people about the power of I&E.

On this page you will find five strategies to create a presence of I&E on our MSOE campus that will help students, faculty, staff, the community, and all other people where our outreach extends to learn and get excited about brainstorming, entrepreneurship, innovative thinking, forming creative solutions, thinking future-forward, prototyping, design thinking, and implementation.

 
=Cohort 7: 2024=

=Cohort 6: 2023=

==Priority 1: Increasing relations between current students at MSOE and alumni==

===Time-frame===
Ideas will be tested over the course of the 23/24 school year and fully implemented in the 24/25.

===Point People===
Noah Nieberle - Primary

===Key Tactics===

*Identify current connection between students and alumni
*Ease or improve avenues of communication for students and alumni
*Provide opportunities for groups to interact in established events

<big>'''Priority 2 : Provide a space for CAECM students to experience 3d concrete printing'''</big>

Point People - Louisa Essuman

Key Tactics

*Identify building projects ongoing at MSOE through conversations with senior faculty members.
*Talk with people leading on campus maker spaces.
*Conduct surveys to understand the needs of the CAECM student population.
*Research new tech innovations in the Construction space.

=Cohort 5: 2022=

==Priority 1: Recognizing Opportunity Cost for Students Who Want to Participate in I&E==
"The loss of potential gain from other alternatives when one alternative is chosen" is how Oxford languages defines Opportunity Cost. For many MSOE students, the opportunity cost of engaging in I&E activities as they currently stand (generally campus events) is simply too high; many simply don't see enough value to sacrifice time that they could spend on their coursework and others have already committed themselves to various meetings for student organizations. In this priority, we seek to identify how we can lower the opportunity cost for students to engage in I&E activities

===Time-frame===

*Ideas tested over the course of the 2022-23 academic year

===Point People===

*James Siedchlag - Primary
*Ben Paulson - Support

===Key Tactics===

*Identify specific reasons why students do or do not identify I&E events
*Connect with campus leaders who are involved in the planning of events (I&E and otherwise, for example: Campus Life) to determine what makes a good event for MSOE
*Explore non-event ways that students can engage with I&E content and develop community, for example, a wiki.
*Make it possible for students who don't have room for business and entrepreneurship topics on their course track to engage with that course content outside of classes.
*Maintain events on a regular schedule, allowing students a lengthy, future-track calendar to build their schedules around.

==Priority 2: Community Outreach==
The resources provided by UIF are beneficial to all majors, and helping more people realize their I&E journey helps us. Based in a larger school in downtown of the most populated city in Wisconsin provides an immense network of possible connections to enhance both UIF and others in the Milwaukee area. By increasing collaboration between student organizations at MSOE, UIF becomes well-known around campus throughout an increasing number of majors, as well as providing all clubs avenues to incorporate I&E in their agendas for a meeting. Collaboration outside of MSOE also increases the quality of knowledge provided at UIF events to students, showcasing alternative viewpoints not available within the current MSOE-networking ecosystem.

===Time-frame===

*Current contacts with/within tech-focused student organizations.
*2022-2023 expansion of relationships to include non-tech student organizations.
*2022-2023 discussion series to be determined with MKE Tech Hub

===Point People===

*Benjamin Paulson - Primary
*Bansari Modi - Support

===Key Tactics===

*Expand UIF events to more majors -- beyond current trend of tech-heavy majors. Follow up for student organization outreach.
**Joint-effort workshops between UIF and another student-drive organization. Builds connections for both involved parties, as well as expanding to topics attendees may not be exposed to in their majors.
*Collaborate with Milwaukee entrepreneurs through platforms like MKE Tech Coalition, Milky Way Tech Hub, and Gener8or.
**Build regular series to integrate Milwaukee entrepreneurs with MSOE entrepreneurial mindset.
**Follow up with business platforms to invite UIF-event attendees to spin-out events.

==Priority 3: Motivating Others by Making Student Success More Visible==
For the majority of human history, it was thought beyond the capabilities of the human body for an individual to run a mile in under four minutes. When Roger Bannister ran the first sub-four minute mile, seven other athletes then accomplished the same within two months. There is invaluable power, and also incredible restrictions, that come with the mindsets we hold in our daily lives. While we can't hope to change everyone's minds instantly, we can work to make students believe that they can succeed with their independent ventures. Through creating more opportunities to display student success, we can help others visualize and pursue their passions.

===Time-frame===

*Preliminary Tactics to be planned and proposed by the end of 2022
*Permanent fixtures to be implemented around campus by the end of the 2022-2023 school year

===Point People===

*Asher Sprigler - Primary
*James Siedchlag - Support

===Key Tactics===

*Work with Student Success coaches in RCAS and the CREATE Institute to research peer motivation
*Collaborate with MSOE Marketing to advertise independent projects through existing digital signage and Online Website
*Establish a permanent display of some variety in The COVE (existing Maker Space)
*Work with the Innovent Center in the Rader School of Business to create a standing record of start-ups

==Priority 4: Fostering Creativity Through Entrepreneurial Mindfulness==
As an engineering school, MSOE often prioritizes rapid recall of knowledge that requires convergent thinking from students instead of divergent thinking. This needs to change because part of being a successful innovator is embracing creativity and learning to look at a situation through multiple perspectives. Despite what is normally thought of creativity in engineering, the engineering field is one that requires it the most. STEM fields are constantly required to design new ideas to overcome problems and by giving students a chance to practice this we ensure that they are prepared to think outside of the box.

===Time-frame===

*Planning will be done throughout the 2022-2023 year
*Results should hopefully be seen in the 2023-2024 year when there is a change from trimesters to semesters

===Point People===

*Bansari Modi
*Asher Sprigler

===Key Tactics===

*Help to improve Students' Mental, Physical, and Spiritual health through the prototyping and introduction of the MSOE Morning
*Encourage professors to create student led projects that are ambiguous in nature
*Creative thinking workshops in classes

 
=Cohort 4: 2020=

==Priority 1: Increase Awareness of MSOE's I&E Resources==
As we identified in our I&E landscape, building off of past cohorts, we have a ton of I&E resources at MSOE! However, many students only learn about these resources through connections they make in specific classes and with specific people, often half way or later through their academic careers. What if we could introduce MSOE students to these resources right away? What if students could get plugged in to

===Time-frame===

*Initial plan is by end of 2021 School year

===Point People===

*Jonathan Wagenknecht

===Key Tactics===

*Advertise MSOE's I&E resources across campus in the form of posters and advertisements that convey the who, what, when, where, and why of I&E
*Create Hub of MSOE's I&E resources online so students and professors know what is available
*be sure to convey the value behind these resources
*Explain WHAT Innovation, Design Thinking, and Entrepreneurship are

==Priority 2: I&E Accesible Tools for MSOE Students==

*'''Portable d.thinking cart on-campus & pop-up d.thinking workshops: '''The goal of these accesible tools is to push students to practice I&E skills outside of typical academic courses. These accesible tools are a way for all innovators students to reach further than before to network, come up with innovative solutions to problems, and utilize entrepreneurship in the classroom as well as outside of it.

===Time-frame===

*The initial plan is to have a prototype running by the Winter Quarter of 2020 and will continue on if it succeeds.

===Point People===

*Sofia Paredes along with other innovators on-campus will be in-charged of this project.

===Key Tactics===

*Identify the suitable locations for these I&E accesible tools
*Present the data acquired from the pop up d.thinking workshop prototype
*Connect with Academic Heads, Residence Life, Student Life and Create Institute regarding the long-term effect of the project towards the MSOE community
*Request for funding from the school or student government to have a prototype made available
*Each cart will have a ton of post-it notes, markers, and other extra materials that will suit the majors' needs

==Priority 3: Community Board==

===Purpose===
Thar goal of this project to create a centralized area which notifies, connects and enhances the I&E landscape of MSOE. The community board will be a focal point for people to be aware of the "maker" resources MSOE has to offer as well as broadcast the success stories of MSOE students.

===Strategy===
To implement this project the following are key items that need to be addressed:

*The community board needs to be in a location which has a diverse high foot traffic.
*The board itself needs to be catch the observers eye and bring the in to read what is on it.
*Condense all f MSOE's resources into one easy to follow document
*Offer the ability to connect students with similar goals

===Time-frame===
ideal launch date is during Spring quarter. The physical project can be created at anytime but for the full roll out to happen, concerns over the spread of COVIS-19 need to subside.

===Point People===
Lead: Alex Wilhelm

===Key Tactics===
Create a survey to find key areas which feel like they get stuck when trying to innovate or start a business
Reach out to department heads that are in charge of the makers spaces to compile the requirements to use the spaces.

==Priority 4: Improving student confidence and ability to Spin Out: Story Series with Connections==

"There are a lot of successful entrepreneurs who studied at MSOE.
Their stories are not being told.
We find their stories and we share them each Friday in a short bulleted email."

https://innovationhub.carrd.co
===Time-frame===

*The newsletter will be sent each week
*Within 4 weeks there should be enough feedback/learning done to uncover target student sentiment

===Point People===

*Paul Rinaldi

===Key Tactics===

*Validate market segment of students interested
*Collect stories from campus story champions
*Send newsletter emails(emails or on our msoe uif website on webflow?) with feedback forms to track hypotheses/assumptions (put on a webflow?)
*Present data/results at stakeholder meeting

='''Cohort 3: 2019'''=

'''Strategy One: Bringing student ideas to life'''

===='''Why: Many students on campus have ideas about side projects, businesses, etc. but they don't know how to move forward with an idea, who to connect with, where to obtain funding, etc.'''====

Possible solutions:

*Idea Consulting
**Students ("Ideators") with ideas sit down with a consultant (either UIFellows or students trained by UIFellows) to develop their ideas into action items they can actually walk away with and work on to bring their idea to life. Ideators work through the following activities with a consultant:
<ul style="margin-left: 80px;">
<li>Developing a HMW statement</li>
<li>Brainstorming ideas for the HMW statement</li>
<li>Identifying stakeholders</li>
</ul>

'''Strategy Two: '''Encouraging engineering/business major collaboration

====Why: Some business students don't understand the technical side of product development and many engineering students don't understand the business side of idea development. While many students have amazing ideas, they don't know how to reach out to the other discipline to understand their perspective/knowledge.====

Possible solutions:

*Startup Fair
<ul style="margin-left: 40px;">
<li><span style="font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; background-color: transparent; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Mirroring the BioE Reverse Career Fair that occurs at MSOE, students with an idea would set up booths around a public area (such as our Campus Center) to "pitch" their ideas and obtain feedback, mentors, partners, funding etc. Students looking for projects to work on would walk around the fair and could possibly discover a project to work on, be inspired to develop their own ideas, or be able to network with other like-minded individuals. Industry professionals could also be invited.</li>
</ul>

'''Strategy Three: '''Continuously exposing students to I & E early in their careers

====Why: Students do not understand the value of I & E in MSOE, in Milwaukee, or even in the whole world. We want to help them develop as I & E leaders, as this knowledge can help them in any future path they decide to take. Early exposure will help students better apply their knowledge to their classes, internships, etc.====

Possible solutions:

*Introducing freshmen to I & E early on in their higher education journey
**Holding d.thinking workshops in PBL classes (such as the Honors courses)
**Helping develop lab procedures through d.thinking

*Training student organizations about how to conduct and leverage the power of d.thinking workshops
**Holding d.thinking workshops to foster growth in student organizations abd help develop/brainstorm new project ideas (geared towards newer organizations)
**Conduct landscape canvas activity in order to help organizations identify key resources available to them (campus, local community, etc.)

*<span style="font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Have a freshman design lab
**<span style="font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This would mirror the senior design labs, but it would only be a trimester long and it would be a smaller-scale project. This could be implemented during the introductory class for each major.

'''Strategy Four: '''Strengthening on-campus I & E culture

====Why: Students do not understand the value of I & E in MSOE, in Milwaukee, or even in the whole world. We want to help them develop as I & E leaders, as this knowledge can help them in any future path they decide to take. By developing a culture, we can leave an I & E legacy that can be carried throughout generations even when we don't attend MSOE as students.====

Possible solutions:

*Having a student I & E council
**This could be an offshoot of UIF, where students take ideas developed by us and continue them when we can't (as we continuously undertake new projects).
**This could be unassociated with UIF. Currently, we have an Investment and Entrepreneurship Club on campus, but it isn't well recognized. We could work with them to develop events and a culture of I & E on campus.



=COHORT 2: 2018=

==Idea 1: #MSOE-Inspire Competition==

'''Summary'''

#MSOE-Inspire is a competition geared towards teaching students about the process of coming up with new and innovative ideas. This is done through communicating with people from other majors as well as doing everything in a time limit. Students will form at least a group of two members, with a partner from another major. They will have 48 hours to come up with a new and innovative idea and create a prototype or proof of concept. The competition will begin Saturday morning, giving the students the full weekend to work on the project, before concluding with a presentation in fair-style during Monday on free hour. The incentive will be that the winning team will get guidance or funding to help them start a start up, meanwhile the losing teams will have a good start on something to work on or pursue should they want to continue down that path.

'''Goal'''

The goal of this project is to encourage students to be more involved within their community and instil a sense of entrepreneurship. As it stands, it is a topic that is rarely tackled at the school, and when it is, its very low profile.The other goal is to encourage communication between the majors in the school.

'''Summary'''

When speaking with MSOE students we notice that they often lose their sense of wonder along with their enthusiasm for school after the first semester of their freshman year. We want to make sure that they are able to continue succeeding along with having a good school life balance. To do this we interviewed a few students and we noticed that they tend to be the most stressed around midterms around weeks 5-7. This is even more apparent during the fall semester when they have no breaks during the semester and feels like the longest of the three. To remedy this we will be providing therapy dogs and pizza during Week 5 to ensure students are able to get through the ‘hump’ of the semester. We hope that this will allow students to be happier throughout their stay in the school.

'''Goal'''

The goal of this project is to ensure students are able to make it through the mid semester hump where all of their midterms are beginning to take a toll on them. We want to ensure that MSOE students are able to keep their school life balance and not just focus on their school work at all times.

'''Summary'''

For our startup meetup idea, we would have a big startup fair, where students with ideas can come and present either their polished startup ideas, or their very early stage ideas to a crowd of students who want to participate in a startup, but don’t necessarily have a specific startup idea. After the presentations all of the attendees will have time to walk around and connect with the founders of other startups. The goal of this whole event would be to help the student founders fill gaps in their company with other students at MSOE. This way not only are we providing an invaluable resource of a talent pool to these student founders, but we are also providing a way for other students, who don’t have a specific idea but want to be involved in entrepreneurship, a way to follow their passion and start innovating on someone else’s idea.

'''Goal'''

The goal of this quarterly event would be for to increase the innovation related opportunities that are on campus for students to participate in them. It also is an interesting and low cost way for the school to help and support these startups with resources besides just money. It would provide the talent pool of the student body and allow everyone to work on something they are passionate about, whether they came to the event with an idea, or came looking for one.

'''Summary'''

To prototype this type of event I hosted a small study group in my room and compared two scenarios. For the first part of the study group everyone sat quietly and did not interact amongst each other however once I started playing some music and passed around a plate of cookies everyone started to warm up and started mingling and working together. At the end of the study group I interviewed some of the attendees and tried to get their opinions on if they thought this type of event could help boost the campus vibe between everyone on campus. We hope to do this, but on a much larger scale in the Campus Center. This is where many students hangout and do homework and would be a cool place to have everyone gather to chill on Friday afternoons for free cookies and a DJ.

'''Goal'''

The main goal of this recurring event would be to help MSOE students destress and take a break from their academic studies. Also this would be a good way to improve the connection of the students, and create a more unified student body.

'''Materials'''

2 Large Speakers

Laptop w/ Music

='''Cohort 1: 2017''' =

 '''Strategy One: Lack of Strong Entrepreneurial Foundation'''

Our solution was to create a dedicated space on campus that would allow students to come together, hold events, meetings, run workshops, and be entrepreneurs. This space would enable thinkers and tinkerers to ponder their ideas. It wouldhaveaconference roomsformeetings to take place - especially those involving proprietary information. Thespacewouldbe outlined as follows:

What does it have (~1200 sq ft space)?
<div>'''Tables '''(several) - small, separable, combinable, mobile, simple</div><div>'''Chairs '''(hella several) - simple, comfortable, mobile</div><div>'''Stationery Whiteboards''' (3) - one on each wall without a window, rather wide, has a holster for markers and a cloth, spans the height of the wall, good quality - easy to clean</div><div>'''Mobile Whiteboards''' (10) - mobile, lightweight, can be stood up, has a small holder for a marker and cloth, good quality - easy to clean</div><div>'''Supplies '''- a wall of supplies, organized in a way that is a balance between obvious and easy to maintain, office supplies such as: pens, markers, post-it’s, loose paper, stapler, hole punch, etc., creativity supplies like different material scraps, tape, glue, whatever makes its way into the space to enable quick (within a minute) prototyping and explaining</div><div>'''Projector & Screen''' in front of open area or tables - with sufficient cables/adapters, so short presentations can be given</div><div> </div>
What does it offer?
<div>Space for entrepreneurs and innovators (intentionally vague) to gather, run through their ideas with themselves or others, and iterate through ideas they’re working on. Thespaceismeant to eliminate anything that might be barrier to a person or group’s process. Thespaceeasesand aids the process of individual and team work. Thespacewillalso serve as a place for events, workshops, and learning sessions to be held. It can be rented out by a company, even sponsored if they so please. It will adapt to needs while still maintaining an identity that is innovation, creativity, productivity, and entrepreneurship. It will provide the tools to enable students and faculty alike to succeed in their aspirations as well as just tinker and complete work on a day to day basis.  </div><div> </div><div> </div>
'''Strategy Two: Improve Overbearing IP/Patent Policy'''

The IP policy for MSOE outlines a process in which MSOE is involved every step of the way and should know of any ideas emerging from use of campus resources immediately. The policy is written in vague terms when it comes to what qualifies an idea as belongingtothembut is very explicit when it comes to qualifying the only circumstances under which an idea or project is solely that the of the student who created it. Many students are not aware of this, and many faculty have not thoroughly read through the policy if at all. The problem truly stems from the university’s reaction to students creating ideas and jumping on their intuition. Rewriting the policy is a good start to driving the mindset and reaction of staff and faculty members here towards truly embracing student’s creativity and innovative leaps. The policy should also define a lesser imposition on faculty members to report any and all of their breakthroughs and ideas as those of the university. It should fall under the same or similar rules to students. MSOE claims to have the desire to drive forward ideas that benefit the greater good of anyone and everyone, but have yet to act on such claims significantly. Suggestions of revisions are below (in unofficial terminology):
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>WHOLE IP POLICY: If the idea was of the student and the student has demonstrated control of the project and has been the driving force for the idea/business/project, it is theirs. If the student used MSOE resources including and limited to class time, seed funding, regular use of space, and a faculty champion, they are to attribute 5% of earnings back to MSOE.</li>
<li>WHOLE IP POLICY: If the student can demonstrate and convince the current president that they were able to do this without MSOE resources or intervention, the idea is wholly the students. If not, MSOE is entitled to 10% equity or royalties.</li>
</ul>

Feedback: having things simpler might not work - easier to flex things one particular way or another if it’s too simple. In this case, things will need to be more explicit. Current policy is also not explicit with some things, leaving room for MSOE to be overbearing

'''Strategy Three: Inspire and Create a Startup Community'''

MSOE I&E Lecture Series is the first step to building a strong, connected and vibrant I&E community on campus. Every week the Lecture Series will host a new speaker who will present on the theme of innovation and entrepreneurship. Each lecture session will provide free food for audience members and Q&A sessions after the presentation.

Topics are not strictly focused on business and engineering! Anyone who deals with innovation can be a presenter. Artists, musicians, dancers, actors, designers - many different careers use I&E and are topics for discussion. The goal of the lecture series is to inspire, teach and motivate viewers to explore I&E. By generating conversations and excitement around I&E, it will provide market research and support to further develop I&E activities, facilities and venues across campus.
<div>'''<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap">MSOE Lecture Series'''''':''' Due to relatively low operational cost and availability of lecture facilities, MSOE Lecture Series programming could start next fall of the academic year (18-19). Featured speakers, community I&E experts, and local artists will have a chance to speak and present engaging experiences to students and faculty.</div><div> </div><div>'''<span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap">MSOE Lecture Series - Night of Innovation'''''': '''With an established brand, and working with surrounding universities, twice a year, MSOE hosts “Night of Innovation”. High profile performers in music, the arts, business, engineering and/or science are booked for one evening show.This event will help fuel and generate interest in the MSOE Lecture Series program and raise awareness to I&E</div><div> </div><div>'''Student Feedback:'''</div><div>In general, people were receptive to the idea but wanted something fun rather than strictly academic. For future iterations of this plan, a weekly event or activity should be implemented. Demonstrations and entertainment focused presentations should have a larger priority over strictly academic lectures. Activities should provide value to the audience and have them leaving satisfied in the time they have invested.</div><div> </div>
'''Strategy Four: Series of Innovative and Entrepreneurial Events'''

Once the first step of creating the makerspace oncampusis complete, there a number of events, ideas, and activities that thespace willbe used for. One way thespace willserve I&E is through different events on campus that are listed below. These include (but are not limited to) Speakers and TED Talks, Pop-Up Classes, an annual Make-a-thon, I&E Workshops, and a number of other events that are sure to pop up as thespace becomesutilized and available to other groups on and off of campus. These events can be brought to thespace bystudent organizations, facultyandstaff, interested students, the community, professors for class applications, theunviersity, and a number of other avenues. Findexample ofactivities below.

'''Speakers and TED Talks'''

Bringing speakers to our campus and our makerspace totalk about I&E would be an amazing way to motivate students to get involved and get thinking about I&E. We would like speakers to cover topics such as startups, design thinking, entrepreneurial financing, and many other topics. We would really like to see the TED-X Speakers come to our campus and present to our students, faculty and staff, the community and any other interested party. TED talks would be a great way to expand knowledge and interest in the I&E field. We would also like to see our own faculty speak about the research that they are a part of outside of classes and office hours so that we can get to know what it is that they are truly passionate about.

'''Pop-Up Classes'''

These classes are an opportunity for those with experience in I&E to share that experience and for those who want to learn more/ expand their knowledge to continue to grow in I&E. Classes would cover topics such as brainstorming, prototyping, design thinking, and creating innovative solutions. === Make-a-thon

An annual Make-a-thon wouldprovide students an opportunity to collaborate between disciplines and to work together to think in terms of I&E and come up with new, future-forward ideas. This is an event for students to come together, brainstorm, prototype, andpossible implementand ideathat they are passionate about. === I&E Workshops

Workshops would be a more hands-on version of the pop-up classes that would allow students the opportunity to drop in a session and learn a few things about I&E by physically prototyping, brainstorming, and creating ideas. 

'''Strategy Five: Lack of Involvement from Staff/Faculty to Ensure we Move Forward'''

The key to success through change on campus stems from transparent communication between staff/faculty and students.  Tomaintanconstant transparent communication, the campus community would benefit from a monthly fish bowl exercise between staff/faculty and students.  The fish bowl exercise would consist of a safe space for students to communicate with higher level staff/faculty who are stakeholders at MSOE and have the power to implement change. The exercisewould havetworounds: 1) Staff/faculty in the middle and students on the outside 2) Students in the middle and staff/faculty on the outside.  Students would submit any question they wanted to discuss via an anonymous survey and a facilitator would run the discussion between staff/faculty and students.  Staff/faculty would ensure thatthe space is welcoming for students to feel comfortable sharing how they feel about campus.  The fishbowl exercisescould be broken down into categories per month such as academics, student life, athletics, internships, etc.  Thefish bowl exercise would also be live streamed and recorded for students and staff/faculty that could not attend that month's meeting.

'''Makerspace:'''

Stay tuned! There is more to come on the Makerspace as we get information and develop the space furthur. This will be an exciting space for the internal operations, external operations, community, and students, facultyand staffat MSOE. It will be a space for events, activities, studying, collaboration, speakers, outside events, community involvement, and many MANY other applications.

'''Key Features:''' Movable furniture,  Prototyping supplies,  Technology,  Other

='''Background'''=

==About MSOE==
We are the Milwaukee School of Engineering, where students pursue their passions in engineering, nursing, and business. We're dreamers, thinkers, makers and doers at a small university (around 2500 students) that is dedicated to achieving big things. From international racing competitions to ground-breaking medical innovations, our community is making the most out of their education. 

Innovation and entrepreneurship at MSOE starts with the community of learners who feel that I&E is a priority. MSOE takes this journey of I&E through five phases: Discover, Learn, Experiment, Pursue, and Spin Out. Discover begins by generating awareness, importance and fundamental elements of I&E to students. Students then realize I&E is important, and we want to get involved in a deeper way when we Learn; this integral part of MSOE's mindset is what makes every class a hands-on experience. Experiment to apply knowledge of I&E to a specific challenge/problem and form design teams or solo work to explore that potential. Students who Pursue are committing to an opportunity to license a technology, form or join a venture startup, or attain legal status. Finally, Spin Out to commercialize entities and pivot further to adapt innovations to the needs of the marketplace. MSOE's Landscape Canvas highlights I&E that is present at our university.

==The MSOE Mindset==

===[https://www.msoe.edu/academics/how-we-teach/msoemindset/ What is the MSOE Mindset?]===

It is an assimilation of the [https://www.msoe.edu/the-msoe-advantage/preparing-for-success/servant-leadership/ Servant-Leader Mindset], the [https://engineeringunleashed.com/partners/partner.aspx?institutionguid=787bf082-de36-414b-bfc5-ebe206c0f414 Entrepreneurial Mindset], and MSOE’s new strategic plan, mission, vision, values and commitments. The MSOE Mindset identifies graduates as leaders of character; responsible professionals; passionate learners; and value creators. Faculty will focus on helping students develop the MSOE Mindset throughout their educational journey. By leveraging its industry partnerships, incorporating high-impact educational practices throughout campus, enhancing educational programs to deepen experiential learning, MSOE will ensure that all students use real-world projects in their field of study.

===[https://www.msoe.edu/the-msoe-advantage/career-services/career-fair/ MSOE Fall Career Night]===

*'''Background: '''Each year during the fall quarter, MSOE has the Fall Career Fair for companies to come to campus and network with current students, faculty, staff, and alumni. There is also a Career Fair for the CAECM Department during Winter Quarter.
*'''Outcome: '''Students network with companies around the Milwaukee area and across the globe to find careers and internship opportunities. MSOE Career Night is a pinnacle of the MSOE experience for students and an amazing opportunity to make connections. Additional connects can be made on the professional-development platform Handshake: a networking website MSOE uses to connect students, their academic careers, and employers.

'''Software Engineering (SE) Night'''

*'''Background:''' Once during the Spring and Fall Semesters, MSOE hosts a networking & showcase opportunity via Software Engineering night. The event is typically sponsored by a corporate sponsor and includes a cocktail hour, guest speaker, and senior design showcase.
*'''Outcome:''' SE students have the ability to connect with each other and gather contact information, they also have the ability to meet a guest speaker from another organization and to be able to view senior design projects.

===Senior Design===

*'''How it works: '''Senior Design takes place during students' fourth year on campus. A team of students and their faculty mentor will team up with a company to design and implement a project using knowledge gained through previous years of schooling.
*'''Mission: '''The mission is for students at MSOE to use their academics, innovations, and entrepreneurial experiences to coordinate with companies in a professional manner.
*'''Outcome: '''Partnerships may lead to careers, but definitely lead to networking experiences with the company the students coordinated with. Real-life experience and hands-on work help students to excel.

===Undergraduate Research (UR)===

*'''How it works:''' Undergraduate research is an option for computer scientists at MSOE, a process that could possibly open to other majors. Undergraduates can substitute senior design with UR for a chance to get hands-on alongside a teacher in a niche, exploring new technologies and writing a publication as a deliverable.
*'''Mission:''' Teach students the process of research in preparation of a pathway into graduate school or workplace research, curiosity with innovations, and building relationships with MSOE professors.
*'''Outcome:''' Credibility in advanced academia, access to a large network of innovators, and a shiny, new publication you could attach to any resume.

"The CREATE Institute fosters the growth of the MSOE Mindset by strengthening students’ entrepreneurial mindset and the servant-leader philosophy that transforms students into community builders and ethical professionals."

Project-based experiential learning is at the heart of the CREATE Institute, and how students will develop the skillset and mindset they need to solve the complex challenges of today and tomorrow. It is a resource for industry engagement and academic excellence. The institute is focused on developing high-impact educational experiences for MSOE students and faculty that have a community impact. It also serves as the institutional hub for faculty development; professional learning workshops for faculty, an MSOE Mindset Speaker Series and student activities; and supports the integration of high-impact practices and project-based experiential learning.[https://www.msoe.edu/academics/how-we-teach/create-institute/]

='''Actively Supporting the University Technology Transfer Function'''=

Current university technology transfer functions are limited on campus, but MSOE does have a few programs that we are proud to display. The first two are programs offered in the city of Milwaukee while the last is something offered exclusively by MSOE to MSOE students. In addition, we have a few individual faculty members who help students gain access to seed funding and IP management.

=='''The Commons'''==
<ul>
<li>'''Background''': The Commons is an entrepreneurial skills accelerator that drives students and young professionals through a process of Design Thinking in order to give a startup its foundation or execute a corporate challenge.</li>
<li>'''How it works''': Students apply and must be accepted to the program. Students then attend a kickoff weekend, are presented projects, pick a project, then spend 9 weeks going through processes of Customer Discovery, Ideation/Brainstorming, Defining a Problem, Creating a Solution, and Drafting a Business Plan. At the end of everything, the information is presented to the rest of the team in the form of a 4 minute pitch. Groups meet each Tuesday for 3 hours to run through the workshop of the week and often meet with each other one more time in the week, performing around 3-4 additional hours of work outside of the Tuesday sessions.</li>
<li>'''Mission''': For the students of Southeast Wisconsin’s colleges and universities, The Commons is an opportunity to get firmly planted in the region’s growing innovation economy. It's a chance to put skills to the test with real-world projects, work with talented peers and find the mentorship / networking opportunities that (pardon the cliche) are game-changers for their career paths. (thecommonswi.com)</li>
<li>'''Entrepreneurial Tie''': The Commons invokes the entrepreneurial mindset in students who will return to studies and careers in their respective fields with a new outlook.</li>
<li>'''Competitors''': I-Corps - but I-Corps targets a different audience, usually more so groups of students looking to develop their idea into a company. The Commons is able to help both the student looking to move forward their startup as well as the students who want to contribute to something and put to use the skills they’ve been learning in class.</li>
<li>'''Outcome''': Students return changed individuals to their universities and jobs. People who go through The Commons have a stronger tie to their entrepreneurial community, a passion for creativity and innovation, and the tools to handle any problem or project they may encounter.</li>
</ul>

=='''I-Corps (Innovation Corps)'''==
<ul>
<li>Background: Students from Milwaukee universities attend a session</li>
<li>How it works: Students apply to the program in the early months of the year. Once accepted, the student teams gather weekly for a series of five weeks to work through a “Lean Startup” process that moves their project ideas forward quickly and with a good foundation. Students receive a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) at the end of the 5 weeks to move forward with the project.</li>
<li>Mission: Funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Milwaukee I-Corps Program offers researchers and entrepreneurs a chance to explore the viability of their technologies and ventures through the “Lean Startup” or “Lean Launch” process of direct engagement with the potential markets. Through a five-week workshop, participants are coached on designing and validating a business model around their idea and deciding whether the idea is a go/no-go decision based on their business model.  Regardless of the go/no-go outcome, teams will develop valuable skills in discovering the market – skills that will inform their research, business, and careers. (http://icorpsmilwaukee.org)</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: Pushes forward student projects by providing them with a model to follow in order to gain progress as well as funding to accomplish things like prototyping, marketing, etc.</li>
<li>Competitors: The Commons - I-Corps focuses on getting projects to the stage of prototyping, so the project can make changes and pivot if need be. They get the projects through the rough part of honing in and creating a viable solution.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are encouraged to follow the inklings and create the ideas they think of. Students come out of I-Corps with the tools to move forward with prototyping and refining the solution the group has created. Students will also come out with the knowledge enabling them to reach out to additional investors to keep the project moving forward if that is what the group needs.</li>
</ul>

=='''Innovent Center Project Seed Funding'''==
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Background:  Students kickstarting projects such as their Senior Design Project, capstone projects, or any other projects (regardless of affiliation with a class or not) may apply for up to $500 in seed funding through the Innovent Center in the Raider School of Business.</li>
<li>How it works: Students fill out an application outlining the project, what the money will be used for, and why it’s important that they receive this seed money. There is a finite amount of funding, and it is dealt out first come first serve.</li>
<li>Mission: To enable students with projects to get off the ground and ensure they have a solid foundation to get off of. Going through the application process also forces the student, if they haven’t already, to aggregate and deliver the project concisely in a way that would warrant them funding.</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: The seed funding enables students to achieve goals more quickly as funding may be something holding students back from moving forward with their project. In order to submit an application for these funds, students must attend workshops, submit proposals by a defined deadline, and then present a video pitch to a panel of judges. This ensures they know their project thoroughly and are able to sell their ideas to others effectively.</li>
<li>Competitors: Any outside or inside investors - Innovent Center Seed Funding however, is both certainly reliable and relatively easy to obtain compared to outside sources of funding like Angel Investors or Venture Capitalists.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are able to drive ideas forward with seed funding and likely have some money to fall back on later in the project.</li>
</ul>

='''Background'''=

==About MSOE==
We are the Milwaukee School of Engineering, where students pursue their passions in engineering, nursing, and business. We're dreamers, thinkers, makers and doers at a small university (around 2500 students) that is dedicated to achieving big things. From international racing competitions to ground-breaking medical innovations, our community is making the most out of their education. 

Innovation and entrepreneurship at MSOE starts with the community of learners who feel that I&E is a priority. MSOE takes this journey of I&E through five phases: Discover, Learn, Experiment, Pursue, and Spin Out. Discover begins by generating awareness, importance and fundamental elements of I&E to students. Students then realize I&E is important, and we want to get involved in a deeper way when we Learn; this integral part of MSOE's mindset is what makes every class a hands-on experience. Experiment to apply knowledge of I&E to a specific challenge/problem and form design teams or solo work to explore that potential. Students who Pursue are committing to an opportunity to license a technology, form or join a venture startup, or attain legal status. Finally, Spin Out to commercialize entities and pivot further to adapt innovations to the needs of the marketplace. MSOE's Landscape Canvas highlights I&E that is present at our university.

==The MSOE Mindset==

===[https://www.msoe.edu/academics/how-we-teach/msoemindset/ What is the MSOE Mindset?]===

It is an assimilation of the [https://www.msoe.edu/the-msoe-advantage/preparing-for-success/servant-leadership/ Servant-Leader Mindset], the [https://engineeringunleashed.com/partners/partner.aspx?institutionguid=787bf082-de36-414b-bfc5-ebe206c0f414 Entrepreneurial Mindset], and MSOE’s new strategic plan, mission, vision, values and commitments. The MSOE Mindset identifies graduates as leaders of character; responsible professionals; passionate learners; and value creators. Faculty will focus on helping students develop the MSOE Mindset throughout their educational journey. By leveraging its industry partnerships, incorporating high-impact educational practices throughout campus, enhancing educational programs to deepen experiential learning, MSOE will ensure that all students use real-world projects in their field of study.

===Marketing and Communication Strategies===

*'''How it works: '''Marketing at MSOE is used to reach our network from the community on campus out to Milwaukee, and then beyond into the global aspect. Marketing and communication resources are used to reach families, alumni, faculty and staff, students, companies, other universities, and all of our communities.

===[https://www.msoe.edu/the-msoe-advantage/career-services/career-fair/ MSOE Fall Career Night]===

*'''Background: '''Each year during the fall quarter, MSOE has the Fall Career Fair for companies to come to campus and network with current students, faculty, staff, and alumni. There is also a Career Fair for the CAECM Department during Winter Quarter.
*'''Outcome: '''Students network with companies around the Milwaukee area and across the globe to find careers and internship opportunities. MSOE Career Night is a pinnacle of the MSOE experience for students and an amazing opportunity to make connections. Additional connects can be made on the professional-development platform Handshake: a networking website MSOE uses to connect students, their academic careers, and employers.

'''Software Engineering (SE) Night'''

*'''Background:''' Once during the Spring and Fall Semesters, MSOE hosts a networking & showcase opportunity via Software Engineering night. The event is typically sponsored by a corporate sponsor and includes a cocktail hour, guest speaker, and senior design showcase.
*'''Outcome:''' SE students have the ability to connect with each other and gather contact information, they also have the ability to meet a guest speaker from another organization and to be able to view senior design projects.

===Senior Design===

*'''How it works: '''Senior Design takes place during students' fourth year on campus. A team of students and their faculty mentor will team up with a company to design and implement a project using knowledge gained through previous years of schooling.
*'''Mission: '''The mission is for students at MSOE to use their academics, innovations, and entrepreneurial experiences to coordinate with companies in a professional manner.
*'''Outcome: '''Partnerships may lead to careers, but definitely lead to networking experiences with the company the students coordinated with. Real-life experience and hands-on work help students to excel.

===Undergraduate Research (UR)===

*'''How it works:''' Undergraduate research is an option for computer scientists at MSOE, a process that could possibly open to other majors. Undergraduates can substitute senior design with UR for a chance to get hands-on alongside a teacher in a niche, exploring new technologies and writing a publication as a deliverable.
*'''Mission:''' Teach students the process of research in preparation of a pathway into graduate school or workplace research, curiosity with innovations, and building relationships with MSOE professors.
*'''Outcome:''' Credibility in advanced academia, access to a large network of innovators, and a shiny, new publication you could attach to any resume.

===Honors Seminar===

*'''Background: '''Project-based English course aligned with servant leadership. This freshman and sophomore program encourages students to think outside of the box and work with the living-learning community.
*'''How it works: '''Students have to qualify for the program and reach out to actively chose to join.
*'''Mission: '''The mission is to teach students to work together, reach out and network, and push the limits of their knowledge and innovation. Entrepreneurial Tie: Students work with faculty mentors and businesses to work on projects that they have a passion about.

='''Encouraging Faculty Innovation and Entrepreneurship'''=

Faculty involvement encourages innovation and Entreprenurial at MSOE that involves every part of the MSOE community and its success.

'''Faculty Fair as an idea for students and faculty to meet and discuss their interests, hobbies, and passions outside of the classroom. It could also be a way for relationships to build outside of academics. If they wanted, people would be encouraged to discuss their research and projects they are passionate about as well.'''

==[https://www.msoe.edu/academics/how-we-teach/create-institute/ CREATE Institute]==

"The CREATE Institute fosters the growth of the MSOE Mindset by strengthening students’ entrepreneurial mindset and the servant-leader philosophy that transforms students into community builders and ethical professionals."

Project-based experiential learning is at the heart of the CREATE Institute, and how students will develop the skillset and mindset they need to solve the complex challenges of today and tomorrow. It is a resource for industry engagement and academic excellence. The institute is focused on developing high-impact educational experiences for MSOE students and faculty that have a community impact. It also serves as the institutional hub for faculty development; professional learning workshops for faculty, an MSOE Mindset Speaker Series and student activities; and supports the integration of high-impact practices and project-based experiential learning.[https://www.msoe.edu/academics/how-we-teach/create-institute/]

='''Actively Supporting the University Technology Transfer Function'''=

Current university technology transfer functions are limited on campus, but MSOE does have a few programs that we are proud to display. The first two are programs offered in the city of Milwaukee while the last is something offered exclusively by MSOE to MSOE students. In addition, we have a few individual faculty members who help students gain access to seed funding and IP management.

=='''The Commons'''==
<ul>
<li>'''Background''': The Commons is an entrepreneurial skills accelerator that drives students and young professionals through a process of Design Thinking in order to give a startup its foundation or execute a corporate challenge.</li>
<li>'''How it works''': Students apply and must be accepted to the program. Students then attend a kickoff weekend, are presented projects, pick a project, then spend 9 weeks going through processes of Customer Discovery, Ideation/Brainstorming, Defining a Problem, Creating a Solution, and Drafting a Business Plan. At the end of everything, the information is presented to the rest of the team in the form of a 4 minute pitch. Groups meet each Tuesday for 3 hours to run through the workshop of the week and often meet with each other one more time in the week, performing around 3-4 additional hours of work outside of the Tuesday sessions.</li>
<li>'''Mission''': For the students of Southeast Wisconsin’s colleges and universities, The Commons is an opportunity to get firmly planted in the region’s growing innovation economy. It's a chance to put skills to the test with real-world projects, work with talented peers and find the mentorship / networking opportunities that (pardon the cliche) are game-changers for their career paths. (thecommonswi.com)</li>
<li>'''Entrepreneurial Tie''': The Commons invokes the entrepreneurial mindset in students who will return to studies and careers in their respective fields with a new outlook.</li>
<li>'''Competitors''': I-Corps - but I-Corps targets a different audience, usually more so groups of students looking to develop their idea into a company. The Commons is able to help both the student looking to move forward their startup as well as the students who want to contribute to something and put to use the skills they’ve been learning in class.</li>
<li>'''Outcome''': Students return changed individuals to their universities and jobs. People who go through The Commons have a stronger tie to their entrepreneurial community, a passion for creativity and innovation, and the tools to handle any problem or project they may encounter.</li>
</ul>

=='''I-Corps (Innovation Corps)'''==
<ul>
<li>Background: Students from Milwaukee universities attend a session</li>
<li>How it works: Students apply to the program in the early months of the year. Once accepted, the student teams gather weekly for a series of five weeks to work through a “Lean Startup” process that moves their project ideas forward quickly and with a good foundation. Students receive a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) at the end of the 5 weeks to move forward with the project.</li>
<li>Mission: Funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Milwaukee I-Corps Program offers researchers and entrepreneurs a chance to explore the viability of their technologies and ventures through the “Lean Startup” or “Lean Launch” process of direct engagement with the potential markets. Through a five-week workshop, participants are coached on designing and validating a business model around their idea and deciding whether the idea is a go/no-go decision based on their business model.  Regardless of the go/no-go outcome, teams will develop valuable skills in discovering the market – skills that will inform their research, business, and careers. (http://icorpsmilwaukee.org)</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: Pushes forward student projects by providing them with a model to follow in order to gain progress as well as funding to accomplish things like prototyping, marketing, etc.</li>
<li>Competitors: The Commons - I-Corps focuses on getting projects to the stage of prototyping, so the project can make changes and pivot if need be. They get the projects through the rough part of honing in and creating a viable solution.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are encouraged to follow the inklings and create the ideas they think of. Students come out of I-Corps with the tools to move forward with prototyping and refining the solution the group has created. Students will also come out with the knowledge enabling them to reach out to additional investors to keep the project moving forward if that is what the group needs.</li>
</ul>

=='''Innovent Center Project Seed Funding'''==
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Background:  Students kickstarting projects such as their Senior Design Project, capstone projects, or any other projects (regardless of affiliation with a class or not) may apply for up to $500 in seed funding through the Innovent Center in the Raider School of Business.</li>
<li>How it works: Students fill out an application outlining the project, what the money will be used for, and why it’s important that they receive this seed money. There is a finite amount of funding, and it is dealt out first come first serve.</li>
<li>Mission: To enable students with projects to get off the ground and ensure they have a solid foundation to get off of. Going through the application process also forces the student, if they haven’t already, to aggregate and deliver the project concisely in a way that would warrant them funding.</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: The seed funding enables students to achieve goals more quickly as funding may be something holding students back from moving forward with their project. In order to submit an application for these funds, students must attend workshops, submit proposals by a defined deadline, and then present a video pitch to a panel of judges. This ensures they know their project thoroughly and are able to sell their ideas to others effectively.</li>
<li>Competitors: Any outside or inside investors - Innovent Center Seed Funding however, is both certainly reliable and relatively easy to obtain compared to outside sources of funding like Angel Investors or Venture Capitalists.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are able to drive ideas forward with seed funding and likely have some money to fall back on later in the project.</li>
</ul>

='''Background'''=

==About MSOE==
We are the Milwaukee School of Engineering, where students pursue their passions in engineering, nursing, and business. We're dreamers, thinkers, makers and doers at a small university (around 2500 students) that is dedicated to achieving big things. From international racing competitions to ground-breaking medical innovations, our community is making the most out of their education. 

Innovation and entrepreneurship at MSOE starts with the community of learners who feel that I&E is a priority. MSOE takes this journey of I&E through five phases: Discover, Learn, Experiment, Pursue, and Spin Out. Discover begins by generating awareness, importance and fundamental elements of I&E to students. Students then realize I&E is important, and we want to get involved in a deeper way when we Learn; this integral part of MSOE's mindset is what makes every class a hands-on experience. Experiment to apply knowledge of I&E to a specific challenge/problem and form design teams or solo work to explore that potential. Students who Pursue are committing to an opportunity to license a technology, form or join a venture startup, or attain legal status. Finally, Spin Out to commercialize entities and pivot further to adapt innovations to the needs of the marketplace. MSOE's Landscape Canvas highlights I&E that is present at our university.

==The MSOE Mindset==

===[https://www.msoe.edu/academics/how-we-teach/msoemindset/ What is the MSOE Mindset?]===

It is an assimilation of the [https://www.msoe.edu/the-msoe-advantage/preparing-for-success/servant-leadership/ Servant-Leader Mindset], the [https://engineeringunleashed.com/partners/partner.aspx?institutionguid=787bf082-de36-414b-bfc5-ebe206c0f414 Entrepreneurial Mindset], and MSOE’s new strategic plan, mission, vision, values and commitments. The MSOE Mindset identifies graduates as leaders of character; responsible professionals; passionate learners; and value creators. Faculty will focus on helping students develop the MSOE Mindset throughout their educational journey. By leveraging its industry partnerships, incorporating high-impact educational practices throughout campus, enhancing educational programs to deepen experiential learning, MSOE will ensure that all students use real-world projects in their field of study.

===Marketing and Communication Strategies===

*'''How it works: '''Marketing at MSOE is used to reach our network from the community on campus out to Milwaukee, and then beyond into the global aspect. Marketing and communication resources are used to reach families, alumni, faculty and staff, students, companies, other universities, and all of our communities.

===[https://www.msoe.edu/the-msoe-advantage/career-services/career-fair/ MSOE Fall Career Night]===

*'''Background: '''Each year during the fall quarter, MSOE has the Fall Career Fair for companies to come to campus and network with current students, faculty, staff, and alumni. There is also a Career Fair for the CAECM Department during Winter Quarter.
*'''Outcome: '''Students network with companies around the Milwaukee area and across the globe to find careers and internship opportunities. MSOE Career Night is a pinnacle of the MSOE experience for students and an amazing opportunity to make connections. Additional connects can be made on the professional-development platform Handshake: a networking website MSOE uses to connect students, their academic careers, and employers.

'''Software Engineering (SE) Night'''

*'''Background:''' Once during the Spring and Fall Semesters, MSOE hosts a networking & showcase opportunity via Software Engineering night. The event is typically sponsored by a corporate sponsor and includes a cocktail hour, guest speaker, and senior design showcase.
*'''Outcome:''' SE students have the ability to connect with each other and gather contact information, they also have the ability to meet a guest speaker from another organization and to be able to view senior design projects.

===Senior Design===

*'''How it works: '''Senior Design takes place during students' fourth year on campus. A team of students and their faculty mentor will team up with a company to design and implement a project using knowledge gained through previous years of schooling.
*'''Mission: '''The mission is for students at MSOE to use their academics, innovations, and entrepreneurial experiences to coordinate with companies in a professional manner.
*'''Outcome: '''Partnerships may lead to careers, but definitely lead to networking experiences with the company the students coordinated with. Real-life experience and hands-on work help students to excel.

===Undergraduate Research (UR)===

*'''How it works:''' Undergraduate research is an option for computer scientists at MSOE, a process that could possibly open to other majors. Undergraduates can substitute senior design with UR for a chance to get hands-on alongside a teacher in a niche, exploring new technologies and writing a publication as a deliverable.

'''Faculty Fair as an idea for students and faculty to meet and discuss their interests, hobbies, and passions outside of the classroom. It could also be a way for relationships to build outside of academics. If they wanted, people would be encouraged to discuss their research and projects they are passionate about as well.'''

==[https://www.msoe.edu/academics/how-we-teach/create-institute/ CREATE Institute]==

"The CREATE Institute fosters the growth of the MSOE Mindset by strengthening students’ entrepreneurial mindset and the servant-leader philosophy that transforms students into community builders and ethical professionals."

The institute is focused on developing high-impact educational experiences for MSOE students and faculty that have a community impact. It also serves as the institutional hub for faculty development; professional learning workshops for faculty, an MSOE Mindset Speaker Series and student activities; and supports the integration of high-impact practices and project-based experiential learning.[https://www.msoe.edu/academics/how-we-teach/create-institute/]

='''Actively Supporting the University Technology Transfer Function'''=

Current university technology transfer functions are limited on campus, but MSOE does have a few programs that we are proud to display. The first two are programs offered in the city of Milwaukee while the last is something offered exclusively by MSOE to MSOE students. In addition, we have a few individual faculty members who help students gain access to seed funding and IP management.

=='''The Commons'''==
<ul>
<li>'''Background''': The Commons is an entrepreneurial skills accelerator that drives students and young professionals through a process of Design Thinking in order to give a startup its foundation or execute a corporate challenge.</li>
<li>'''How it works''': Students apply and must be accepted to the program. Students then attend a kickoff weekend, are presented projects, pick a project, then spend 9 weeks going through processes of Customer Discovery, Ideation/Brainstorming, Defining a Problem, Creating a Solution, and Drafting a Business Plan. At the end of everything, the information is presented to the rest of the team in the form of a 4 minute pitch. Groups meet each Tuesday for 3 hours to run through the workshop of the week and often meet with each other one more time in the week, performing around 3-4 additional hours of work outside of the Tuesday sessions.</li>
<li>'''Mission''': For the students of Southeast Wisconsin’s colleges and universities, The Commons is an opportunity to get firmly planted in the region’s growing innovation economy. It's a chance to put skills to the test with real-world projects, work with talented peers and find the mentorship / networking opportunities that (pardon the cliche) are game-changers for their career paths. (thecommonswi.com)</li>
<li>'''Entrepreneurial Tie''': The Commons invokes the entrepreneurial mindset in students who will return to studies and careers in their respective fields with a new outlook.</li>
<li>'''Competitors''': I-Corps - but I-Corps targets a different audience, usually more so groups of students looking to develop their idea into a company. The Commons is able to help both the student looking to move forward their startup as well as the students who want to contribute to something and put to use the skills they’ve been learning in class.</li>
<li>'''Outcome''': Students return changed individuals to their universities and jobs. People who go through The Commons have a stronger tie to their entrepreneurial community, a passion for creativity and innovation, and the tools to handle any problem or project they may encounter.</li>
</ul>

=='''I-Corps (Innovation Corps)'''==
<ul>
<li>Background: Students from Milwaukee universities attend a session</li>
<li>How it works: Students apply to the program in the early months of the year. Once accepted, the student teams gather weekly for a series of five weeks to work through a “Lean Startup” process that moves their project ideas forward quickly and with a good foundation. Students receive a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) at the end of the 5 weeks to move forward with the project.</li>
<li>Mission: Funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Milwaukee I-Corps Program offers researchers and entrepreneurs a chance to explore the viability of their technologies and ventures through the “Lean Startup” or “Lean Launch” process of direct engagement with the potential markets. Through a five-week workshop, participants are coached on designing and validating a business model around their idea and deciding whether the idea is a go/no-go decision based on their business model.  Regardless of the go/no-go outcome, teams will develop valuable skills in discovering the market – skills that will inform their research, business, and careers. (http://icorpsmilwaukee.org)</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: Pushes forward student projects by providing them with a model to follow in order to gain progress as well as funding to accomplish things like prototyping, marketing, etc.</li>
<li>Competitors: The Commons - I-Corps focuses on getting projects to the stage of prototyping, so the project can make changes and pivot if need be. They get the projects through the rough part of honing in and creating a viable solution.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are encouraged to follow the inklings and create the ideas they think of. Students come out of I-Corps with the tools to move forward with prototyping and refining the solution the group has created. Students will also come out with the knowledge enabling them to reach out to additional investors to keep the project moving forward if that is what the group needs.</li>
</ul>

=='''Innovent Center Project Seed Funding'''==
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Background:  Students kickstarting projects such as their Senior Design Project, capstone projects, or any other projects (regardless of affiliation with a class or not) may apply for up to $500 in seed funding through the Innovent Center in the Raider School of Business.</li>
<li>How it works: Students fill out an application outlining the project, what the money will be used for, and why it’s important that they receive this seed money. There is a finite amount of funding, and it is dealt out first come first serve.</li>
<li>Mission: To enable students with projects to get off the ground and ensure they have a solid foundation to get off of. Going through the application process also forces the student, if they haven’t already, to aggregate and deliver the project concisely in a way that would warrant them funding.</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: The seed funding enables students to achieve goals more quickly as funding may be something holding students back from moving forward with their project. In order to submit an application for these funds, students must attend workshops, submit proposals by a defined deadline, and then present a video pitch to a panel of judges. This ensures they know their project thoroughly and are able to sell their ideas to others effectively.</li>
<li>Competitors: Any outside or inside investors - Innovent Center Seed Funding however, is both certainly reliable and relatively easy to obtain compared to outside sources of funding like Angel Investors or Venture Capitalists.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are able to drive ideas forward with seed funding and likely have some money to fall back on later in the project.</li>
</ul>

==About MSOE==
We are the Milwaukee School of Engineering, where students pursue their passions in engineering, nursing, and business. We're dreamers, thinkers, makers and doers at a small university (around 2500 students) that is dedicated to achieving big things. From international racing competitions to ground-breaking medical innovations, our community is making the most out of their education. 

Innovation and entrepreneurship at MSOE starts with the community of learners who feel that I&E is a priority. MSOE takes this journey of I&E through five phases: Discover, Learn, Experiment, Pursue, and Spin Out. Discover begins by generating awareness, importance and fundamental elements of I&E to students. Students then realize I&E is important, and we want to get involved in a deeper way when we Learn; this integral part of MSOE's mindset is what makes every class a hands-on experience. Experiment to apply knowledge of I&E to a specific challenge/problem and form design teams or solo work to explore that potential. Students who Pursue are committing to an opportunity to license a technology, form or join a venture startup, or attain legal status. Finally, Spin Out to commercialize entities and pivot further to adapt innovations to the needs of the marketplace. MSOE's Landscape Canvas highlights I&E that is present at our university.

==The MSOE Mindset==

===[https://www.msoe.edu/academics/how-we-teach/msoemindset/ What is the MSOE Mindset?]===

It is an assimilation of the [https://www.msoe.edu/the-msoe-advantage/preparing-for-success/servant-leadership/ Servant-Leader Mindset], the [https://engineeringunleashed.com/partners/partner.aspx?institutionguid=787bf082-de36-414b-bfc5-ebe206c0f414 Entrepreneurial Mindset], and MSOE’s new strategic plan, mission, vision, values and commitments. The MSOE Mindset identifies graduates as leaders of character; responsible professionals; passionate learners; and value creators. Faculty will focus on helping students develop the MSOE Mindset throughout their educational journey.

The institute is focused on developing high-impact educational experiences for MSOE students and faculty that have a community impact. It also serves as the institutional hub for faculty development; professional learning workshops for faculty, an MSOE Mindset Speaker Series and student activities; and supports the integration of high-impact practices and project-based experiential learning.[https://www.msoe.edu/academics/how-we-teach/create-institute/]

='''Actively Supporting the University Technology Transfer Function'''=

Current university technology transfer functions are limited on campus, but MSOE does have a few programs that we are proud to display. The first two are programs offered in the city of Milwaukee while the last is something offered exclusively by MSOE to MSOE students. In addition, we have a few individual faculty members who help students gain access to seed funding and IP management.

=='''The Commons'''==
<ul>
<li>'''Background''': The Commons is an entrepreneurial skills accelerator that drives students and young professionals through a process of Design Thinking in order to give a startup its foundation or execute a corporate challenge.</li>
<li>'''How it works''': Students apply and must be accepted to the program. Students then attend a kickoff weekend, are presented projects, pick a project, then spend 9 weeks going through processes of Customer Discovery, Ideation/Brainstorming, Defining a Problem, Creating a Solution, and Drafting a Business Plan. At the end of everything, the information is presented to the rest of the team in the form of a 4 minute pitch. Groups meet each Tuesday for 3 hours to run through the workshop of the week and often meet with each other one more time in the week, performing around 3-4 additional hours of work outside of the Tuesday sessions.</li>
<li>'''Mission''': For the students of Southeast Wisconsin’s colleges and universities, The Commons is an opportunity to get firmly planted in the region’s growing innovation economy. It's a chance to put skills to the test with real-world projects, work with talented peers and find the mentorship / networking opportunities that (pardon the cliche) are game-changers for their career paths. (thecommonswi.com)</li>
<li>'''Entrepreneurial Tie''': The Commons invokes the entrepreneurial mindset in students who will return to studies and careers in their respective fields with a new outlook.</li>
<li>'''Competitors''': I-Corps - but I-Corps targets a different audience, usually more so groups of students looking to develop their idea into a company. The Commons is able to help both the student looking to move forward their startup as well as the students who want to contribute to something and put to use the skills they’ve been learning in class.</li>
<li>'''Outcome''': Students return changed individuals to their universities and jobs. People who go through The Commons have a stronger tie to their entrepreneurial community, a passion for creativity and innovation, and the tools to handle any problem or project they may encounter.</li>
</ul>

=='''I-Corps (Innovation Corps)'''==
<ul>
<li>Background: Students from Milwaukee universities attend a session</li>
<li>How it works: Students apply to the program in the early months of the year. Once accepted, the student teams gather weekly for a series of five weeks to work through a “Lean Startup” process that moves their project ideas forward quickly and with a good foundation. Students receive a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) at the end of the 5 weeks to move forward with the project.</li>
<li>Mission: Funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Milwaukee I-Corps Program offers researchers and entrepreneurs a chance to explore the viability of their technologies and ventures through the “Lean Startup” or “Lean Launch” process of direct engagement with the potential markets. Through a five-week workshop, participants are coached on designing and validating a business model around their idea and deciding whether the idea is a go/no-go decision based on their business model.  Regardless of the go/no-go outcome, teams will develop valuable skills in discovering the market – skills that will inform their research, business, and careers. (http://icorpsmilwaukee.org)</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: Pushes forward student projects by providing them with a model to follow in order to gain progress as well as funding to accomplish things like prototyping, marketing, etc.</li>
<li>Competitors: The Commons - I-Corps focuses on getting projects to the stage of prototyping, so the project can make changes and pivot if need be. They get the projects through the rough part of honing in and creating a viable solution.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are encouraged to follow the inklings and create the ideas they think of. Students come out of I-Corps with the tools to move forward with prototyping and refining the solution the group has created. Students will also come out with the knowledge enabling them to reach out to additional investors to keep the project moving forward if that is what the group needs.</li>
</ul>

=='''Innovent Center Project Seed Funding'''==
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Background:  Students kickstarting projects such as their Senior Design Project, capstone projects, or any other projects (regardless of affiliation with a class or not) may apply for up to $500 in seed funding through the Innovent Center in the Raider School of Business.</li>
<li>How it works: Students fill out an application outlining the project, what the money will be used for, and why it’s important that they receive this seed money. There is a finite amount of funding, and it is dealt out first come first serve.</li>
<li>Mission: To enable students with projects to get off the ground and ensure they have a solid foundation to get off of. Going through the application process also forces the student, if they haven’t already, to aggregate and deliver the project concisely in a way that would warrant them funding.</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: The seed funding enables students to achieve goals more quickly as funding may be something holding students back from moving forward with their project. In order to submit an application for these funds, students must attend workshops, submit proposals by a defined deadline, and then present a video pitch to a panel of judges. This ensures they know their project thoroughly and are able to sell their ideas to others effectively.</li>
<li>Competitors: Any outside or inside investors - Innovent Center Seed Funding however, is both certainly reliable and relatively easy to obtain compared to outside sources of funding like Angel Investors or Venture Capitalists.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are able to drive ideas forward with seed funding and likely have some money to fall back on later in the project.</li>
</ul>

='''Background'''=

==About MSOE==
We are the Milwaukee School of Engineering, where students pursue their passions in engineering, nursing, and business. We're dreamers, thinkers, makers and doers at a small university (around 2500 students) that is dedicated to achieving big things. From international racing competitions to ground-breaking medical innovations, our community is making the most out of their education. 

Innovation and entrepreneurship at MSOE starts with the community of learners who feel that I&E is a priority. MSOE takes this journey of I&E through five phases: Discover, Learn, Experiment, Pursue, and Spin Out. Discover begins by generating awareness, importance and fundamental elements of I&E to students. Students then realize I&E is important, and we want to get involved in a deeper way when we Learn; this integral part of MSOE's mindset is what makes every class a hands-on experience. Experiment to apply knowledge of I&E to a specific challenge/problem and form design teams or solo work to explore that potential. Students who Pursue are committing to an opportunity to license a technology, form or join a venture startup, or attain legal status. Finally, Spin Out to commercialize entities and pivot further to adapt innovations to the needs of the marketplace. MSOE's Landscape Canvas highlights I&E that is present at our university.

==The MSOE Mindset==

===[https://www.msoe.edu/academics/how-we-teach/msoemindset/ What is the MSOE Mindset?]===

It is an assimilation of the [https://www.msoe.edu/the-msoe-advantage/preparing-for-success/servant-leadership/ Servant-Leader Mindset], the [https://engineeringunleashed.com/partners/partner.aspx?institutionguid=787bf082-de36-414b-bfc5-ebe206c0f414 Entrepreneurial Mindset], and MSOE’s new strategic plan, mission, vision, values and commitments. The MSOE Mindset identifies graduates as leaders of character; responsible professionals; passionate learners; and value creators. Faculty will focus on helping students develop the MSOE Mindset throughout their educational journey. By leveraging its industry partnerships, incorporating high-impact educational practices throughout campus, enhancing educational programs to deepen experiential learning, MSOE will ensure that all students use real-world projects in their field of study.

*'''Outcome: '''Students network with companies around the Milwaukee area and across the globe to find careers and internship opportunities. MSOE Career Night is a pinnacle of the MSOE experience for students and an amazing opportunity to make connections. Additional connects can be made on the professional-development platform Handshake: a networking website MSOE uses to connect students, their academic careers, and employers.

'''Software Engineering (SE) Night'''

*'''Background:''' Once during the Spring and Fall Semesters, MSOE hosts a networking & showcase opportunity via Software Engineering night. The event is typically sponsored by a corporate sponsor and includes a cocktail hour, guest speaker, and senior design showcase.
*'''Outcome:''' SE students have the ability to connect with each other and gather contact information, they also have the ability to meet a guest speaker from another organization and to be able to view senior design projects.

===Senior Design===

*'''How it works: '''Senior Design takes place during students' fourth year on campus. A team of students and their faculty mentor will team up with a company to design and implement a project using knowledge gained through previous years of schooling.
*'''Mission: '''The mission is for students at MSOE to use their academics, innovations, and entrepreneurial experiences to coordinate with companies in a professional manner.
*'''Outcome: '''Partnerships may lead to careers, but definitely lead to networking experiences with the company the students coordinated with. Real-life experience and hands-on work help students to excel.

===Undergraduate Research (UR)===

*'''How it works:''' Undergraduate research is an option for computer scientists at MSOE, a process that could possibly open to other majors. Undergraduates can substitute senior design with UR for a chance to get hands-on alongside a teacher in a niche, exploring new technologies and writing a publication as a deliverable.
*'''Mission:''' Teach students the process of research in preparation of a pathway into graduate school or workplace research, curiosity with innovations, and building relationships with MSOE professors.
*'''Outcome:''' Credibility in advanced academia, access to a large network of innovators, and a shiny, new publication you could attach to any resume.

===Honors Seminar===

*'''Background: '''Project-based English course aligned with servant leadership. This freshman and sophomore program encourages students to think outside of the box and work with the living-learning community.
*'''How it works: '''Students have to qualify for the program and reach out to actively chose to join.
*'''Mission: '''The mission is to teach students to work together, reach out and network, and push the limits of their knowledge and innovation. Entrepreneurial Tie: Students work with faculty mentors and businesses to work on projects that they have a passion about.

==[https://www.msoe.edu/academics/how-we-teach/create-institute/ CREATE Institute]==

"The CREATE Institute fosters the growth of the MSOE Mindset by strengthening students’ entrepreneurial mindset and the servant-leader philosophy that transforms students into community builders and ethical professionals."

Project-based experiential learning is at the heart of the CREATE Institute, and how students will develop the skillset and mindset they need to solve the complex challenges of today and tomorrow. It is a resource for industry engagement and academic excellence. The institute is focused on developing high-impact educational experiences for MSOE students and faculty that have a community impact. It also serves as the institutional hub for faculty development; professional learning workshops for faculty, an MSOE Mindset Speaker Series and student activities; and supports the integration of high-impact practices and project-based experiential learning.[https://www.msoe.edu/academics/how-we-teach/create-institute/]

='''Actively Supporting the University Technology Transfer Function'''=

Current university technology transfer functions are limited on campus, but MSOE does have a few programs that we are proud to display. The first two are programs offered in the city of Milwaukee while the last is something offered exclusively by MSOE to MSOE students. In addition, we have a few individual faculty members who help students gain access to seed funding and IP management.

=='''The Commons'''==
<ul>
<li>'''Background''': The Commons is an entrepreneurial skills accelerator that drives students and young professionals through a process of Design Thinking in order to give a startup its foundation or execute a corporate challenge.</li>
<li>'''How it works''': Students apply and must be accepted to the program. Students then attend a kickoff weekend, are presented projects, pick a project, then spend 9 weeks going through processes of Customer Discovery, Ideation/Brainstorming, Defining a Problem, Creating a Solution, and Drafting a Business Plan. At the end of everything, the information is presented to the rest of the team in the form of a 4 minute pitch. Groups meet each Tuesday for 3 hours to run through the workshop of the week and often meet with each other one more time in the week, performing around 3-4 additional hours of work outside of the Tuesday sessions.</li>
<li>'''Mission''': For the students of Southeast Wisconsin’s colleges and universities, The Commons is an opportunity to get firmly planted in the region’s growing innovation economy. It's a chance to put skills to the test with real-world projects, work with talented peers and find the mentorship / networking opportunities that (pardon the cliche) are game-changers for their career paths. (thecommonswi.com)</li>
<li>'''Entrepreneurial Tie''': The Commons invokes the entrepreneurial mindset in students who will return to studies and careers in their respective fields with a new outlook.</li>
<li>'''Competitors''': I-Corps - but I-Corps targets a different audience, usually more so groups of students looking to develop their idea into a company. The Commons is able to help both the student looking to move forward their startup as well as the students who want to contribute to something and put to use the skills they’ve been learning in class.</li>
<li>'''Outcome''': Students return changed individuals to their universities and jobs. People who go through The Commons have a stronger tie to their entrepreneurial community, a passion for creativity and innovation, and the tools to handle any problem or project they may encounter.</li>
</ul>

=='''I-Corps (Innovation Corps)'''==
<ul>
<li>Background: Students from Milwaukee universities attend a session</li>
<li>How it works: Students apply to the program in the early months of the year. Once accepted, the student teams gather weekly for a series of five weeks to work through a “Lean Startup” process that moves their project ideas forward quickly and with a good foundation. Students receive a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) at the end of the 5 weeks to move forward with the project.</li>
<li>Mission: Funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Milwaukee I-Corps Program offers researchers and entrepreneurs a chance to explore the viability of their technologies and ventures through the “Lean Startup” or “Lean Launch” process of direct engagement with the potential markets. Through a five-week workshop, participants are coached on designing and validating a business model around their idea and deciding whether the idea is a go/no-go decision based on their business model.  Regardless of the go/no-go outcome, teams will develop valuable skills in discovering the market – skills that will inform their research, business, and careers. (http://icorpsmilwaukee.org)</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: Pushes forward student projects by providing them with a model to follow in order to gain progress as well as funding to accomplish things like prototyping, marketing, etc.</li>
<li>Competitors: The Commons - I-Corps focuses on getting projects to the stage of prototyping, so the project can make changes and pivot if need be. They get the projects through the rough part of honing in and creating a viable solution.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are encouraged to follow the inklings and create the ideas they think of. Students come out of I-Corps with the tools to move forward with prototyping and refining the solution the group has created. Students will also come out with the knowledge enabling them to reach out to additional investors to keep the project moving forward if that is what the group needs.</li>
</ul>

=='''Innovent Center Project Seed Funding'''==
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Background:  Students kickstarting projects such as their Senior Design Project, capstone projects, or any other projects (regardless of affiliation with a class or not) may apply for up to $500 in seed funding through the Innovent Center in the Raider School of Business.</li>
<li>How it works: Students fill out an application outlining the project, what the money will be used for, and why it’s important that they receive this seed money. There is a finite amount of funding, and it is dealt out first come first serve.</li>
<li>Mission: To enable students with projects to get off the ground and ensure they have a solid foundation to get off of. Going through the application process also forces the student, if they haven’t already, to aggregate and deliver the project concisely in a way that would warrant them funding.</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: The seed funding enables students to achieve goals more quickly as funding may be something holding students back from moving forward with their project. In order to submit an application for these funds, students must attend workshops, submit proposals by a defined deadline, and then present a video pitch to a panel of judges. This ensures they know their project thoroughly and are able to sell their ideas to others effectively.</li>
<li>Competitors: Any outside or inside investors - Innovent Center Seed Funding however, is both certainly reliable and relatively easy to obtain compared to outside sources of funding like Angel Investors or Venture Capitalists.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are able to drive ideas forward with seed funding and likely have some money to fall back on later in the project.</li>
</ul>

=='''The PieperPower Endowed Chair in Artificial Intelligence'''==

='''Background'''=

==About MSOE==
We are the Milwaukee School of Engineering, where students pursue their passions in engineering, nursing, and business. We're dreamers, thinkers, makers and doers at a small university (around 2500 students) that is dedicated to achieving big things. From international racing competitions to ground-breaking medical innovations, our community is making the most out of their education. 

Innovation and entrepreneurship at MSOE starts with the community of learners who feel that I&E is a priority. MSOE takes this journey of I&E through five phases: Discover, Learn, Experiment, Pursue, and Spin Out. Discover begins by generating awareness, importance and fundamental elements of I&E to students. Students then realize I&E is important, and we want to get involved in a deeper way when we Learn; this integral part of MSOE's mindset is what makes every class a hands-on experience. Experiment to apply knowledge of I&E to a specific challenge/problem and form design teams or solo work to explore that potential. Students who Pursue are committing to an opportunity to license a technology, form or join a venture startup, or attain legal status. Finally, Spin Out to commercialize entities and pivot further to adapt innovations to the needs of the marketplace. MSOE's Landscape Canvas highlights I&E that is present at our university.

==The MSOE Mindset==

===[https://www.msoe.edu/academics/how-we-teach/msoemindset/ What is the MSOE Mindset?]===

It is an assimilation of the [https://www.msoe.edu/the-msoe-advantage/preparing-for-success/servant-leadership/ Servant-Leader Mindset], the [https://engineeringunleashed.com/partners/partner.aspx?institutionguid=787bf082-de36-414b-bfc5-ebe206c0f414 Entrepreneurial Mindset], and MSOE’s new strategic plan, mission, vision, values and commitments. The MSOE Mindset identifies graduates as leaders of character; responsible professionals; passionate learners; and value creators. Faculty will focus on helping students develop the MSOE Mindset throughout their educational journey. By leveraging its industry partnerships, incorporating high-impact educational practices throughout campus, enhancing educational programs to deepen experiential learning, MSOE will ensure that all students use real-world projects in their field of study.

===[https://www.msoe.edu/the-msoe-advantage/career-services/career-fair/ MSOE Fall Career Night]===

*'''Background: '''Each year during the fall quarter, MSOE has the Fall Career Fair for companies to come to campus and network with current students, faculty, staff, and alumni. There is also a Career Fair for the CAECM Department during Winter Quarter.
*'''Outcome: '''Students network with companies around the Milwaukee area and across the globe to find careers and internship opportunities. MSOE Career Night is a pinnacle of the MSOE experience for students and an amazing opportunity to make connections. Additional connects can be made on the professional-development platform Handshake: a networking website MSOE uses to connect students, their academic careers, and employers.

'''Software Engineering (SE) Night'''

*'''Background:''' Once during the Spring and Fall Semesters, MSOE hosts a networking & showcase opportunity via Software Engineering night. The event is typically sponsored by a corporate sponsor and includes a cocktail hour, guest speaker, and senior design showcase.
*'''Outcome:''' SE students have the ability to connect with each other and gather contact information, they also have the ability to meet a guest speaker from another organization and to be able to view senior design projects.

===Senior Design===

*'''How it works: '''Senior Design takes place during students' fourth year on campus. A team of students and their faculty mentor will team up with a company to design and implement a project using knowledge gained through previous years of schooling.
*'''Mission: '''The mission is for students at MSOE to use their academics, innovations, and entrepreneurial experiences to coordinate with companies in a professional manner.
*'''Outcome: '''Partnerships may lead to careers, but definitely lead to networking experiences with the company the students coordinated with. Real-life experience and hands-on work help students to excel.

===Undergraduate Research (UR)===

*'''How it works:''' Undergraduate research is an option for computer scientists at MSOE, a process that could possibly open to other majors. Undergraduates can substitute senior design with UR for a chance to get hands-on alongside a teacher in a niche, exploring new technologies and writing a publication as a deliverable.
*'''Mission:''' Teach students the process of research in preparation of a pathway into graduate school or workplace research, curiosity with innovations, and building relationships with MSOE professors.
*'''Outcome:''' Credibility in advanced academia, access to a large network of innovators, and a shiny, new publication you could attach to any resume.

===Honors Seminar===

*'''Background: '''Project-based English course aligned with servant leadership. This freshman and sophomore program encourages students to think outside of the box and work with the living-learning community.
*'''How it works: '''Students have to qualify for the program and reach out to actively chose to join.
*'''Mission: '''The mission is to teach students to work together, reach out and network, and push the limits of their knowledge and innovation. Entrepreneurial Tie: Students work with faculty mentors and businesses to work on projects that they have a passion about.

'''Faculty Fair as an idea for students and faculty to meet and discuss their interests, hobbies, and passions outside of the classroom. It could also be a way for relationships to build outside of academics. If they wanted, people would be encouraged to discuss their research and projects they are passionate about as well.'''

==[https://www.msoe.edu/academics/how-we-teach/create-institute/ CREATE Institute]==

"The CREATE Institute fosters the growth of the MSOE Mindset by strengthening students’ entrepreneurial mindset and the servant-leader philosophy that transforms students into community builders and ethical professionals."

Project-based experiential learning is at the heart of the CREATE Institute, and how students will develop the skillset and mindset they need to solve the complex challenges of today and tomorrow. It is a resource for industry engagement and academic excellence. The institute is focused on developing high-impact educational experiences for MSOE students and faculty that have a community impact. It also serves as the institutional hub for faculty development; professional learning workshops for faculty, an MSOE Mindset Speaker Series and student activities; and supports the integration of high-impact practices and project-based experiential learning.[https://www.msoe.edu/academics/how-we-teach/create-institute/]

='''Actively Supporting the University Technology Transfer Function'''=

Current university technology transfer functions are limited on campus, but MSOE does have a few programs that we are proud to display. The first two are programs offered in the city of Milwaukee while the last is something offered exclusively by MSOE to MSOE students. In addition, we have a few individual faculty members who help students gain access to seed funding and IP management.

=='''The Commons'''==
<ul>
<li>'''Background''': The Commons is an entrepreneurial skills accelerator that drives students and young professionals through a process of Design Thinking in order to give a startup its foundation or execute a corporate challenge.</li>
<li>'''How it works''': Students apply and must be accepted to the program. Students then attend a kickoff weekend, are presented projects, pick a project, then spend 9 weeks going through processes of Customer Discovery, Ideation/Brainstorming, Defining a Problem, Creating a Solution, and Drafting a Business Plan. At the end of everything, the information is presented to the rest of the team in the form of a 4 minute pitch. Groups meet each Tuesday for 3 hours to run through the workshop of the week and often meet with each other one more time in the week, performing around 3-4 additional hours of work outside of the Tuesday sessions.</li>
<li>'''Mission''': For the students of Southeast Wisconsin’s colleges and universities, The Commons is an opportunity to get firmly planted in the region’s growing innovation economy. It's a chance to put skills to the test with real-world projects, work with talented peers and find the mentorship / networking opportunities that (pardon the cliche) are game-changers for their career paths. (thecommonswi.com)</li>
<li>'''Entrepreneurial Tie''': The Commons invokes the entrepreneurial mindset in students who will return to studies and careers in their respective fields with a new outlook.</li>
<li>'''Competitors''': I-Corps - but I-Corps targets a different audience, usually more so groups of students looking to develop their idea into a company. The Commons is able to help both the student looking to move forward their startup as well as the students who want to contribute to something and put to use the skills they’ve been learning in class.</li>
<li>'''Outcome''': Students return changed individuals to their universities and jobs. People who go through The Commons have a stronger tie to their entrepreneurial community, a passion for creativity and innovation, and the tools to handle any problem or project they may encounter.</li>
</ul>

=='''I-Corps (Innovation Corps)'''==
<ul>
<li>Background: Students from Milwaukee universities attend a session</li>
<li>How it works: Students apply to the program in the early months of the year. Once accepted, the student teams gather weekly for a series of five weeks to work through a “Lean Startup” process that moves their project ideas forward quickly and with a good foundation. Students receive a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) at the end of the 5 weeks to move forward with the project.</li>
<li>Mission: Funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Milwaukee I-Corps Program offers researchers and entrepreneurs a chance to explore the viability of their technologies and ventures through the “Lean Startup” or “Lean Launch” process of direct engagement with the potential markets. Through a five-week workshop, participants are coached on designing and validating a business model around their idea and deciding whether the idea is a go/no-go decision based on their business model.  Regardless of the go/no-go outcome, teams will develop valuable skills in discovering the market – skills that will inform their research, business, and careers. (http://icorpsmilwaukee.org)</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: Pushes forward student projects by providing them with a model to follow in order to gain progress as well as funding to accomplish things like prototyping, marketing, etc.</li>
<li>Competitors: The Commons - I-Corps focuses on getting projects to the stage of prototyping, so the project can make changes and pivot if need be. They get the projects through the rough part of honing in and creating a viable solution.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are encouraged to follow the inklings and create the ideas they think of. Students come out of I-Corps with the tools to move forward with prototyping and refining the solution the group has created. Students will also come out with the knowledge enabling them to reach out to additional investors to keep the project moving forward if that is what the group needs.</li>
</ul>

=='''Innovent Center Project Seed Funding'''==
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Background:  Students kickstarting projects such as their Senior Design Project, capstone projects, or any other projects (regardless of affiliation with a class or not) may apply for up to $500 in seed funding through the Innovent Center in the Raider School of Business.</li>
<li>How it works: Students fill out an application outlining the project, what the money will be used for, and why it’s important that they receive this seed money. There is a finite amount of funding, and it is dealt out first come first serve.</li>
<li>Mission: To enable students with projects to get off the ground and ensure they have a solid foundation to get off of. Going through the application process also forces the student, if they haven’t already, to aggregate and deliver the project concisely in a way that would warrant them funding.</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: The seed funding enables students to achieve goals more quickly as funding may be something holding students back from moving forward with their project. In order to submit an application for these funds, students must attend workshops, submit proposals by a defined deadline, and then present a video pitch to a panel of judges. This ensures they know their project thoroughly and are able to sell their ideas to others effectively.</li>
<li>Competitors: Any outside or inside investors - Innovent Center Seed Funding however, is both certainly reliable and relatively easy to obtain compared to outside sources of funding like Angel Investors or Venture Capitalists.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are able to drive ideas forward with seed funding and likely have some money to fall back on later in the project.</li>
</ul>

Jaminthoughts: /* Actively Supporting the University Technology Transfer Function */

='''Background'''=

==About MSOE==
We are the Milwaukee School of Engineering, where students pursue their passions in engineering, nursing, and business. We're dreamers, thinkers, makers and doers at a small university (around 2500 students) that is dedicated to achieving big things. From international racing competitions to ground-breaking medical innovations, our community is making the most out of their education. 

Innovation and entrepreneurship at MSOE starts with the community of learners who feel that I&E is a priority. MSOE takes this journey of I&E through five phases: Discover, Learn, Experiment, Pursue, and Spin Out. Discover begins by generating awareness, importance and fundamental elements of I&E to students. Students then realize I&E is important, and we want to get involved in a deeper way when we Learn; this integral part of MSOE's mindset is what makes every class a hands-on experience. Experiment to apply knowledge of I&E to a specific challenge/problem and form design teams or solo work to explore that potential. Students who Pursue are committing to an opportunity to license a technology, form or join a venture startup, or attain legal status. Finally, Spin Out to commercialize entities and pivot further to adapt innovations to the needs of the marketplace. MSOE's Landscape Canvas highlights I&E that is present at our university.

==The MSOE Mindset==

===[https://www.msoe.edu/academics/how-we-teach/msoemindset/ What is the MSOE Mindset?]===

It is an assimilation of the [https://www.msoe.edu/the-msoe-advantage/preparing-for-success/servant-leadership/ Servant-Leader Mindset], the [https://engineeringunleashed.com/partners/partner.aspx?institutionguid=787bf082-de36-414b-bfc5-ebe206c0f414 Entrepreneurial Mindset], and MSOE’s new strategic plan, mission, vision, values and commitments. The MSOE Mindset identifies graduates as leaders of character; responsible professionals; passionate learners; and value creators. Faculty will focus on helping students develop the MSOE Mindset throughout their educational journey. By leveraging its industry partnerships, incorporating high-impact educational practices throughout campus, enhancing educational programs to deepen experiential learning, MSOE will ensure that all students use real-world projects in their field of study.

===[https://www.msoe.edu/the-msoe-advantage/career-services/career-fair/ MSOE Fall Career Night]===

*'''Background: '''Each year during the fall quarter, MSOE has the Fall Career Fair for companies to come to campus and network with current students, faculty, staff, and alumni. There is also a Career Fair for the CAECM Department during Winter Quarter.
*'''Outcome: '''Students network with companies around the Milwaukee area and across the globe to find careers and internship opportunities. MSOE Career Night is a pinnacle of the MSOE experience for students and an amazing opportunity to make connections. Additional connects can be made on the professional-development platform Handshake: a networking website MSOE uses to connect students, their academic careers, and employers.

'''Software Engineering (SE) Night'''

*'''Background:''' Once during the Spring and Fall Semesters, MSOE hosts a networking & showcase opportunity via Software Engineering night. The event is typically sponsored by a corporate sponsor and includes a cocktail hour, guest speaker, and senior design showcase.
*'''Outcome:''' SE students have the ability to connect with each other and gather contact information, they also have the ability to meet a guest speaker from another organization and to be able to view senior design projects.

===Senior Design===

*'''How it works: '''Senior Design takes place during students' fourth year on campus. A team of students and their faculty mentor will team up with a company to design and implement a project using knowledge gained through previous years of schooling.
*'''Mission: '''The mission is for students at MSOE to use their academics, innovations, and entrepreneurial experiences to coordinate with companies in a professional manner.
*'''Outcome: '''Partnerships may lead to careers, but definitely lead to networking experiences with the company the students coordinated with. Real-life experience and hands-on work help students to excel.

===Undergraduate Research (UR)===

*'''How it works:''' Undergraduate research is an option for computer scientists at MSOE, a process that could possibly open to other majors. Undergraduates can substitute senior design with UR for a chance to get hands-on alongside a teacher in a niche, exploring new technologies and writing a publication as a deliverable.
*'''Mission:''' Teach students the process of research in preparation of a pathway into graduate school or workplace research, curiosity with innovations, and building relationships with MSOE professors.
*'''Outcome:''' Credibility in advanced academia, access to a large network of innovators, and a shiny, new publication you could attach to any resume.

===Honors Seminar===

*'''Background: '''Project-based English course aligned with servant leadership. This freshman and sophomore program encourages students to think outside of the box and work with the living-learning community.
*'''How it works: '''Students have to qualify for the program and reach out to actively chose to join.
*'''Mission: '''The mission is to teach students to work together, reach out and network, and push the limits of their knowledge and innovation. Entrepreneurial Tie: Students work with faculty mentors and businesses to work on projects that they have a passion about.

==[https://www.msoe.edu/academics/how-we-teach/create-institute/ CREATE Institute]==

"The CREATE Institute fosters the growth of the MSOE Mindset by strengthening students’ entrepreneurial mindset and the servant-leader philosophy that transforms students into community builders and ethical professionals."

Project-based experiential learning is at the heart of the CREATE Institute, and how students will develop the skillset and mindset they need to solve the complex challenges of today and tomorrow. It is a resource for industry engagement and academic excellence. The institute is focused on developing high-impact educational experiences for MSOE students and faculty that have a community impact. It also serves as the institutional hub for faculty development; professional learning workshops for faculty, an MSOE Mindset Speaker Series and student activities; and supports the integration of high-impact practices and project-based experiential learning.[https://www.msoe.edu/academics/how-we-teach/create-institute/]

='''Actively Supporting the University Technology Transfer Function'''=

Current university technology transfer functions are limited on campus, but MSOE does have a few programs that we are proud to display. The first two are programs offered in the city of Milwaukee while the last is something offered exclusively by MSOE to MSOE students. In addition, we have a few individual faculty members who help students gain access to seed funding and IP management.

=='''The Commons'''==
<ul>
<li>'''Background''': The Commons is an entrepreneurial skills accelerator that drives students and young professionals through a process of Design Thinking in order to give a startup its foundation or execute a corporate challenge.</li>
<li>'''How it works''': Students apply and must be accepted to the program. Students then attend a kickoff weekend, are presented projects, pick a project, then spend 9 weeks going through processes of Customer Discovery, Ideation/Brainstorming, Defining a Problem, Creating a Solution, and Drafting a Business Plan. At the end of everything, the information is presented to the rest of the team in the form of a 4 minute pitch. Groups meet each Tuesday for 3 hours to run through the workshop of the week and often meet with each other one more time in the week, performing around 3-4 additional hours of work outside of the Tuesday sessions.</li>
<li>'''Mission''': For the students of Southeast Wisconsin’s colleges and universities, The Commons is an opportunity to get firmly planted in the region’s growing innovation economy. It's a chance to put skills to the test with real-world projects, work with talented peers and find the mentorship / networking opportunities that (pardon the cliche) are game-changers for their career paths. (thecommonswi.com)</li>
<li>'''Entrepreneurial Tie''': The Commons invokes the entrepreneurial mindset in students who will return to studies and careers in their respective fields with a new outlook.</li>
<li>'''Competitors''': I-Corps - but I-Corps targets a different audience, usually more so groups of students looking to develop their idea into a company. The Commons is able to help both the student looking to move forward their startup as well as the students who want to contribute to something and put to use the skills they’ve been learning in class.</li>
<li>'''Outcome''': Students return changed individuals to their universities and jobs. People who go through The Commons have a stronger tie to their entrepreneurial community, a passion for creativity and innovation, and the tools to handle any problem or project they may encounter.</li>
</ul>

=='''I-Corps (Innovation Corps)'''==
<ul>
<li>Background: Students from Milwaukee universities attend a session</li>
<li>How it works: Students apply to the program in the early months of the year. Once accepted, the student teams gather weekly for a series of five weeks to work through a “Lean Startup” process that moves their project ideas forward quickly and with a good foundation. Students receive a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) at the end of the 5 weeks to move forward with the project.</li>
<li>Mission: Funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Milwaukee I-Corps Program offers researchers and entrepreneurs a chance to explore the viability of their technologies and ventures through the “Lean Startup” or “Lean Launch” process of direct engagement with the potential markets. Through a five-week workshop, participants are coached on designing and validating a business model around their idea and deciding whether the idea is a go/no-go decision based on their business model.  Regardless of the go/no-go outcome, teams will develop valuable skills in discovering the market – skills that will inform their research, business, and careers. (http://icorpsmilwaukee.org)</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: Pushes forward student projects by providing them with a model to follow in order to gain progress as well as funding to accomplish things like prototyping, marketing, etc.</li>
<li>Competitors: The Commons - I-Corps focuses on getting projects to the stage of prototyping, so the project can make changes and pivot if need be. They get the projects through the rough part of honing in and creating a viable solution.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are encouraged to follow the inklings and create the ideas they think of. Students come out of I-Corps with the tools to move forward with prototyping and refining the solution the group has created. Students will also come out with the knowledge enabling them to reach out to additional investors to keep the project moving forward if that is what the group needs.</li>
</ul>

=='''Innovent Center Project Seed Funding'''==
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Background:  Students kickstarting projects such as their Senior Design Project, capstone projects, or any other projects (regardless of affiliation with a class or not) may apply for up to $500 in seed funding through the Innovent Center in the Raider School of Business.</li>
<li>How it works: Students fill out an application outlining the project, what the money will be used for, and why it’s important that they receive this seed money. There is a finite amount of funding, and it is dealt out first come first serve.</li>
<li>Mission: To enable students with projects to get off the ground and ensure they have a solid foundation to get off of. Going through the application process also forces the student, if they haven’t already, to aggregate and deliver the project concisely in a way that would warrant them funding.</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: The seed funding enables students to achieve goals more quickly as funding may be something holding students back from moving forward with their project. In order to submit an application for these funds, students must attend workshops, submit proposals by a defined deadline, and then present a video pitch to a panel of judges. This ensures they know their project thoroughly and are able to sell their ideas to others effectively.</li>
<li>Competitors: Any outside or inside investors - Innovent Center Seed Funding however, is both certainly reliable and relatively easy to obtain compared to outside sources of funding like Angel Investors or Venture Capitalists.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are able to drive ideas forward with seed funding and likely have some money to fall back on later in the project.</li>
</ul>

=='''The PieperPower Endowed Chair in Artificial Intelligence'''==

='''Background'''=

==About MSOE==
We are the Milwaukee School of Engineering, where students pursue their passions in engineering, nursing, and business. We're dreamers, thinkers, makers and doers at a small university (around 2500 students) that is dedicated to achieving big things. From international racing competitions to ground-breaking medical innovations, our community is making the most out of their education. 

Innovation and entrepreneurship at MSOE starts with the community of learners who feel that I&E is a priority. MSOE takes this journey of I&E through five phases: Discover, Learn, Experiment, Pursue, and Spin Out. Discover begins by generating awareness, importance and fundamental elements of I&E to students. Students then realize I&E is important, and we want to get involved in a deeper way when we Learn; this integral part of MSOE's mindset is what makes every class a hands-on experience. Experiment to apply knowledge of I&E to a specific challenge/problem and form design teams or solo work to explore that potential. Students who Pursue are committing to an opportunity to license a technology, form or join a venture startup, or attain legal status. Finally, Spin Out to commercialize entities and pivot further to adapt innovations to the needs of the marketplace. MSOE's Landscape Canvas highlights I&E that is present at our university.

==The MSOE Mindset==

===[https://www.msoe.edu/academics/how-we-teach/msoemindset/ What is the MSOE Mindset?]===

It is an assimilation of the [https://www.msoe.edu/the-msoe-advantage/preparing-for-success/servant-leadership/ Servant-Leader Mindset], the [https://engineeringunleashed.com/partners/partner.aspx?institutionguid=787bf082-de36-414b-bfc5-ebe206c0f414 Entrepreneurial Mindset], and MSOE’s new strategic plan, mission, vision, values and commitments. The MSOE Mindset identifies graduates as leaders of character; responsible professionals; passionate learners; and value creators. Faculty will focus on helping students develop the MSOE Mindset throughout their educational journey. By leveraging its industry partnerships, incorporating high-impact educational practices throughout campus, enhancing educational programs to deepen experiential learning, MSOE will ensure that all students use real-world projects in their field of study.

===[https://www.msoe.edu/the-msoe-advantage/career-services/career-fair/ MSOE Fall Career Night]===

*'''Background: '''Each year during the fall quarter, MSOE has the Fall Career Fair for companies to come to campus and network with current students, faculty, staff, and alumni. There is also a Career Fair for the CAECM Department during Winter Quarter.
*'''Outcome: '''Students network with companies around the Milwaukee area and across the globe to find careers and internship opportunities. MSOE Career Night is a pinnacle of the MSOE experience for students and an amazing opportunity to make connections. Additional connects can be made on the professional-development platform Handshake: a networking website MSOE uses to connect students, their academic careers, and employers.

'''Software Engineering (SE) Night'''

*'''Background:''' Once during the Spring and Fall Semesters, MSOE hosts a networking & showcase opportunity via Software Engineering night. The event is typically sponsored by a corporate sponsor and includes a cocktail hour, guest speaker, and senior design showcase.
*'''Outcome:''' SE students have the ability to connect with each other and gather contact information, they also have the ability to meet a guest speaker from another organization and to be able to view senior design projects.

===Senior Design===

*'''How it works: '''Senior Design takes place during students' fourth year on campus. A team of students and their faculty mentor will team up with a company to design and implement a project using knowledge gained through previous years of schooling.
*'''Mission: '''The mission is for students at MSOE to use their academics, innovations, and entrepreneurial experiences to coordinate with companies in a professional manner.
*'''Outcome: '''Partnerships may lead to careers, but definitely lead to networking experiences with the company the students coordinated with. Real-life experience and hands-on work help students to excel.

===Undergraduate Research (UR)===

*'''How it works:''' Undergraduate research is an option for computer scientists at MSOE, a process that could possibly open to other majors. Undergraduates can substitute senior design with UR for a chance to get hands-on alongside a teacher in a niche, exploring new technologies and writing a publication as a deliverable.
*'''Mission:''' Teach students the process of research in preparation of a pathway into graduate school or workplace research, curiosity with innovations, and building relationships with MSOE professors.
*'''Outcome:''' Credibility in advanced academia, access to a large network of innovators, and a shiny, new publication you could attach to any resume.

===Honors Seminar===

*'''Background: '''Project-based English course aligned with servant leadership. This freshman and sophomore program encourages students to think outside of the box and work with the living-learning community.
*'''How it works: '''Students have to qualify for the program and reach out to actively chose to join.
*'''Mission: '''The mission is to teach students to work together, reach out and network, and push the limits of their knowledge and innovation. Entrepreneurial Tie: Students work with faculty mentors and businesses to work on projects that they have a passion about.

==[https://www.msoe.edu/academics/how-we-teach/create-institute/ CREATE Institute]==

"The CREATE Institute fosters the growth of the MSOE Mindset by strengthening students’ entrepreneurial mindset and the servant-leader philosophy that transforms students into community builders and ethical professionals."

Project-based experiential learning is at the heart of the CREATE Institute, and how students will develop the skillset and mindset they need to solve the complex challenges of today and tomorrow. It is a resource for industry engagement and academic excellence. The institute is focused on developing high-impact educational experiences for MSOE students and faculty that have a community impact. It also serves as the institutional hub for faculty development; professional learning workshops for faculty, an MSOE Mindset Speaker Series and student activities; and supports the integration of high-impact practices and project-based experiential learning.[https://www.msoe.edu/academics/how-we-teach/create-institute/]

='''Actively Supporting the University Technology Transfer Function'''=

Current university technology transfer functions are limited on campus, but MSOE does have a few programs that we are proud to display. The first two are programs offered in the city of Milwaukee while the last is something offered exclusively by MSOE to MSOE students.

=='''The Commons'''==
<ul>
<li>'''Background''': The Commons is an entrepreneurial skills accelerator that drives students and young professionals through a process of Design Thinking in order to give a startup its foundation or execute a corporate challenge.</li>
<li>'''How it works''': Students apply and must be accepted to the program. Students then attend a kickoff weekend, are presented projects, pick a project, then spend 9 weeks going through processes of Customer Discovery, Ideation/Brainstorming, Defining a Problem, Creating a Solution, and Drafting a Business Plan. At the end of everything, the information is presented to the rest of the team in the form of a 4 minute pitch. Groups meet each Tuesday for 3 hours to run through the workshop of the week and often meet with each other one more time in the week, performing around 3-4 additional hours of work outside of the Tuesday sessions.</li>
<li>'''Mission''': For the students of Southeast Wisconsin’s colleges and universities, The Commons is an opportunity to get firmly planted in the region’s growing innovation economy. It's a chance to put skills to the test with real-world projects, work with talented peers and find the mentorship / networking opportunities that (pardon the cliche) are game-changers for their career paths. (thecommonswi.com)</li>
<li>'''Entrepreneurial Tie''': The Commons invokes the entrepreneurial mindset in students who will return to studies and careers in their respective fields with a new outlook.</li>
<li>'''Competitors''': I-Corps - but I-Corps targets a different audience, usually more so groups of students looking to develop their idea into a company. The Commons is able to help both the student looking to move forward their startup as well as the students who want to contribute to something and put to use the skills they’ve been learning in class.</li>
<li>'''Outcome''': Students return changed individuals to their universities and jobs. People who go through The Commons have a stronger tie to their entrepreneurial community, a passion for creativity and innovation, and the tools to handle any problem or project they may encounter.</li>
</ul>

=='''I-Corps (Innovation Corps)'''==
<ul>
<li>Background: Students from Milwaukee universities attend a session</li>
<li>How it works: Students apply to the program in the early months of the year. Once accepted, the student teams gather weekly for a series of five weeks to work through a “Lean Startup” process that moves their project ideas forward quickly and with a good foundation. Students receive a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) at the end of the 5 weeks to move forward with the project.</li>
<li>Mission: Funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Milwaukee I-Corps Program offers researchers and entrepreneurs a chance to explore the viability of their technologies and ventures through the “Lean Startup” or “Lean Launch” process of direct engagement with the potential markets. Through a five-week workshop, participants are coached on designing and validating a business model around their idea and deciding whether the idea is a go/no-go decision based on their business model.  Regardless of the go/no-go outcome, teams will develop valuable skills in discovering the market – skills that will inform their research, business, and careers. (http://icorpsmilwaukee.org)</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: Pushes forward student projects by providing them with a model to follow in order to gain progress as well as funding to accomplish things like prototyping, marketing, etc.</li>
<li>Competitors: The Commons - I-Corps focuses on getting projects to the stage of prototyping, so the project can make changes and pivot if need be. They get the projects through the rough part of honing in and creating a viable solution.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are encouraged to follow the inklings and create the ideas they think of. Students come out of I-Corps with the tools to move forward with prototyping and refining the solution the group has created. Students will also come out with the knowledge enabling them to reach out to additional investors to keep the project moving forward if that is what the group needs.</li>
</ul>

=='''Innovent Center Project Seed Funding'''==
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Background:  Students kickstarting projects such as their Senior Design Project, capstone projects, or any other projects (regardless of affiliation with a class or not) may apply for up to $500 in seed funding through the Innovent Center in the Raider School of Business.</li>
<li>How it works: Students fill out an application outlining the project, what the money will be used for, and why it’s important that they receive this seed money. There is a finite amount of funding, and it is dealt out first come first serve.</li>
<li>Mission: To enable students with projects to get off the ground and ensure they have a solid foundation to get off of. Going through the application process also forces the student, if they haven’t already, to aggregate and deliver the project concisely in a way that would warrant them funding.</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: The seed funding enables students to achieve goals more quickly as funding may be something holding students back from moving forward with their project. In order to submit an application for these funds, students must attend workshops, submit proposals by a defined deadline, and then present a video pitch to a panel of judges. This ensures they know their project thoroughly and are able to sell their ideas to others effectively.</li>
<li>Competitors: Any outside or inside investors - Innovent Center Seed Funding however, is both certainly reliable and relatively easy to obtain compared to outside sources of funding like Angel Investors or Venture Capitalists.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are able to drive ideas forward with seed funding and likely have some money to fall back on later in the project.</li>
</ul>

='''Background'''=

==About MSOE==
We are the Milwaukee School of Engineering, where students pursue their passions in engineering, nursing, and business. We're dreamers, thinkers, makers and doers at a small university (around 2500 students) that is dedicated to achieving big things. From international racing competitions to ground-breaking medical innovations, our community is making the most out of their education. 

Innovation and entrepreneurship at MSOE starts with the community of learners who feel that I&E is a priority. MSOE takes this journey of I&E through five phases: Discover, Learn, Experiment, Pursue, and Spin Out. Discover begins by generating awareness, importance and fundamental elements of I&E to students. Students then realize I&E is important, and we want to get involved in a deeper way when we Learn; this integral part of MSOE's mindset is what makes every class a hands-on experience. Experiment to apply knowledge of I&E to a specific challenge/problem and form design teams or solo work to explore that potential. Students who Pursue are committing to an opportunity to license a technology, form or join a venture startup, or attain legal status. Finally, Spin Out to commercialize entities and pivot further to adapt innovations to the needs of the marketplace. MSOE's Landscape Canvas highlights I&E that is present at our university.

==The MSOE Mindset==

===[https://www.msoe.edu/academics/how-we-teach/msoemindset/ What is the MSOE Mindset?]===

It is an assimilation of the [https://www.msoe.edu/the-msoe-advantage/preparing-for-success/servant-leadership/ Servant-Leader Mindset], the [https://engineeringunleashed.com/partners/partner.aspx?institutionguid=787bf082-de36-414b-bfc5-ebe206c0f414 Entrepreneurial Mindset], and MSOE’s new strategic plan, mission, vision, values and commitments. The MSOE Mindset identifies graduates as leaders of character; responsible professionals; passionate learners; and value creators. Faculty will focus on helping students develop the MSOE Mindset throughout their educational journey. By leveraging its industry partnerships, incorporating high-impact educational practices throughout campus, enhancing educational programs to deepen experiential learning, MSOE will ensure that all students use real-world projects in their field of study.

*'''Outcome: '''Students network with companies around the Milwaukee area and across the globe to find careers and internship opportunities. MSOE Career Night is a pinnacle of the MSOE experience for students and an amazing opportunity to make connections. Additional connects can be made on the professional-development platform Handshake: a networking website MSOE uses to connect students, their academic careers, and employers.

'''Software Engineering (SE) Night'''

*'''Background:''' Once during the Spring and Fall Semesters, MSOE hosts a networking & showcase opportunity via Software Engineering night. The event is typically sponsored by a corporate sponsor and includes a cocktail hour, guest speaker, and senior design showcase.
*'''Outcome:''' SE students have the ability to connect with each other and gather contact information, they also have the ability to meet a guest speaker from another organization and to be able to view senior design projects.

===Senior Design===

*'''How it works: '''Senior Design takes place during students' fourth year on campus. A team of students and their faculty mentor will team up with a company to design and implement a project using knowledge gained through previous years of schooling.
*'''Mission: '''The mission is for students at MSOE to use their academics, innovations, and entrepreneurial experiences to coordinate with companies in a professional manner.
*'''Outcome: '''Partnerships may lead to careers, but definitely lead to networking experiences with the company the students coordinated with. Real-life experience and hands-on work help students to excel.

===Undergraduate Research (UR)===

*'''How it works:''' Undergraduate research is an option for computer scientists at MSOE, a process that could possibly open to other majors. Undergraduates can substitute senior design with UR for a chance to get hands-on alongside a teacher in a niche, exploring new technologies and writing a publication as a deliverable.
*'''Mission:''' Teach students the process of research in preparation of a pathway into graduate school or workplace research, curiosity with innovations, and building relationships with MSOE professors.
*'''Outcome:''' Credibility in advanced academia, access to a large network of innovators, and a shiny, new publication you could attach to any resume.

===Honors Seminar===

*'''Background: '''Project-based English course aligned with servant leadership. This freshman and sophomore program encourages students to think outside of the box and work with the living-learning community.
*'''How it works: '''Students have to qualify for the program and reach out to actively chose to join.
*'''Mission: '''The mission is to teach students to work together, reach out and network, and push the limits of their knowledge and innovation. Entrepreneurial Tie: Students work with faculty mentors and businesses to work on projects that they have a passion about.

'''Faculty Fair as an idea for students and faculty to meet and discuss their interests, hobbies, and passions outside of the classroom. It could also be a way for relationships to build outside of academics. If they wanted, people would be encouraged to discuss their research and projects they are passionate about as well.'''

==[https://www.msoe.edu/academics/how-we-teach/create-institute/ CREATE Institute]==

"The CREATE Institute fosters the growth of the MSOE Mindset by strengthening students’ entrepreneurial mindset and the servant-leader philosophy that transforms students into community builders and ethical professionals."

Project-based experiential learning is at the heart of the CREATE Institute, and how students will develop the skillset and mindset they need to solve the complex challenges of today and tomorrow. It is a resource for industry engagement and academic excellence. The institute is focused on developing high-impact educational experiences for MSOE students and faculty that have a community impact. It also serves as the institutional hub for faculty development; professional learning workshops for faculty, an MSOE Mindset Speaker Series and student activities; and supports the integration of high-impact practices and project-based experiential learning.[https://www.msoe.edu/academics/how-we-teach/create-institute/]

='''Actively Supporting the University Technology Transfer Function'''=

Current university technology transfer functions are limited on campus, but MSOE does have a few programs that we are proud to display. The first two are programs offered in the city of Milwaukee while the last is something offered exclusively by MSOE to MSOE students.

=='''The Commons'''==
<ul>
<li>'''Background''': The Commons is an entrepreneurial skills accelerator that drives students and young professionals through a process of Design Thinking in order to give a startup its foundation or execute a corporate challenge.</li>
<li>'''How it works''': Students apply and must be accepted to the program. Students then attend a kickoff weekend, are presented projects, pick a project, then spend 9 weeks going through processes of Customer Discovery, Ideation/Brainstorming, Defining a Problem, Creating a Solution, and Drafting a Business Plan. At the end of everything, the information is presented to the rest of the team in the form of a 4 minute pitch. Groups meet each Tuesday for 3 hours to run through the workshop of the week and often meet with each other one more time in the week, performing around 3-4 additional hours of work outside of the Tuesday sessions.</li>
<li>'''Mission''': For the students of Southeast Wisconsin’s colleges and universities, The Commons is an opportunity to get firmly planted in the region’s growing innovation economy. It's a chance to put skills to the test with real-world projects, work with talented peers and find the mentorship / networking opportunities that (pardon the cliche) are game-changers for their career paths. (thecommonswi.com)</li>
<li>'''Entrepreneurial Tie''': The Commons invokes the entrepreneurial mindset in students who will return to studies and careers in their respective fields with a new outlook.</li>
<li>'''Competitors''': I-Corps - but I-Corps targets a different audience, usually more so groups of students looking to develop their idea into a company. The Commons is able to help both the student looking to move forward their startup as well as the students who want to contribute to something and put to use the skills they’ve been learning in class.</li>
<li>'''Outcome''': Students return changed individuals to their universities and jobs. People who go through The Commons have a stronger tie to their entrepreneurial community, a passion for creativity and innovation, and the tools to handle any problem or project they may encounter.</li>
</ul>

=='''I-Corps (Innovation Corps)'''==
<ul>
<li>Background: Students from Milwaukee universities attend a session</li>
<li>How it works: Students apply to the program in the early months of the year. Once accepted, the student teams gather weekly for a series of five weeks to work through a “Lean Startup” process that moves their project ideas forward quickly and with a good foundation. Students receive a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) at the end of the 5 weeks to move forward with the project.</li>
<li>Mission: Funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Milwaukee I-Corps Program offers researchers and entrepreneurs a chance to explore the viability of their technologies and ventures through the “Lean Startup” or “Lean Launch” process of direct engagement with the potential markets. Through a five-week workshop, participants are coached on designing and validating a business model around their idea and deciding whether the idea is a go/no-go decision based on their business model.  Regardless of the go/no-go outcome, teams will develop valuable skills in discovering the market – skills that will inform their research, business, and careers. (http://icorpsmilwaukee.org)</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: Pushes forward student projects by providing them with a model to follow in order to gain progress as well as funding to accomplish things like prototyping, marketing, etc.</li>
<li>Competitors: The Commons - I-Corps focuses on getting projects to the stage of prototyping, so the project can make changes and pivot if need be. They get the projects through the rough part of honing in and creating a viable solution.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are encouraged to follow the inklings and create the ideas they think of. Students come out of I-Corps with the tools to move forward with prototyping and refining the solution the group has created. Students will also come out with the knowledge enabling them to reach out to additional investors to keep the project moving forward if that is what the group needs.</li>
</ul>

=='''Senior Design Seed Money'''==
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Background:  Students either kickstarting their Senior Design Project or Honors Servant Leadership Project may apply for up to $500 as seed funding.</li>
<li>How it works: Students fill out an application outlining the project, what the money will be used for, and why it’s important that they receive this seed money. There is a finite amount of funding, and it is dealt out first come first serve.</li>
<li>Mission: To enable students with projects to get off the ground and ensure they have a solid foundation to get off of. Going through the application process also forces the student, if they haven’t already, to aggregate and deliver the project concisely in a way that would warrant them funding.</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: The seed funding enables students to achieve goals more quickly as funding may be something holding students back from moving forward with their project.</li>
<li>Competitors: Any outside or inside investors - Senior Design Seed Funding however, is both certainly reliable and relatively easy to obtain compared to outside sources of funding like Angel Investors or Venture Capitalists.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are able to drive ideas forward with seed funding and likely have some money to fall back on later in the project.</li>

='''Background'''=

==About MSOE==
We are the Milwaukee School of Engineering, where students pursue their passions in engineering, nursing, and business. We're dreamers, thinkers, makers and doers at a small university (around 2500 students) that is dedicated to achieving big things. From international racing competitions to ground-breaking medical innovations, our community is making the most out of their education. 

Innovation and entrepreneurship at MSOE starts with the community of learners who feel that I&E is a priority. MSOE takes this journey of I&E through five phases: Discover, Learn, Experiment, Pursue, and Spin Out. Discover begins by generating awareness, importance and fundamental elements of I&E to students. Students then realize I&E is important, and we want to get involved in a deeper way when we Learn; this integral part of MSOE's mindset is what makes every class a hands-on experience. Experiment to apply knowledge of I&E to a specific challenge/problem and form design teams or solo work to explore that potential. Students who Pursue are committing to an opportunity to license a technology, form or join a venture startup, or attain legal status. Finally, Spin Out to commercialize entities and pivot further to adapt innovations to the needs of the marketplace. MSOE's Landscape Canvas highlights I&E that is present at our university.

==The MSOE Mindset==

===[https://www.msoe.edu/academics/how-we-teach/msoemindset/ What is the MSOE Mindset?]===

It is an assimilation of the [https://www.msoe.edu/the-msoe-advantage/preparing-for-success/servant-leadership/ Servant-Leader Mindset], the [https://engineeringunleashed.com/partners/partner.aspx?institutionguid=787bf082-de36-414b-bfc5-ebe206c0f414 Entrepreneurial Mindset], and MSOE’s new strategic plan, mission, vision, values and commitments. The MSOE Mindset identifies graduates as leaders of character; responsible professionals; passionate learners; and value creators. Faculty will focus on helping students develop the MSOE Mindset throughout their educational journey. By leveraging its industry partnerships, incorporating high-impact educational practices throughout campus, enhancing educational programs to deepen experiential learning, MSOE will ensure that all students use real-world projects in their field of study.

'''Faculty Fair as an idea for students and faculty to meet and discuss their interests, hobbies, and passions outside of the classroom. It could also be a way for relationships to build outside of academics. If they wanted, people would be encouraged to discuss their research and projects they are passionate about as well.'''

==[https://www.msoe.edu/academics/how-we-teach/create-institute/ CREATE Institute]==

"The CREATE Institute fosters the growth of the MSOE Mindset by strengthening students’ entrepreneurial mindset and the servant-leader philosophy that transforms students into community builders and ethical professionals."

Project-based experiential learning is at the heart of the CREATE Institute, and how students will develop the skillset and mindset they need to solve the complex challenges of today and tomorrow. It is a resource for industry engagement and academic excellence. The institute is focused on developing high-impact educational experiences for MSOE students and faculty that have a community impact. It also serves as the institutional hub for faculty development; professional learning workshops for faculty, an MSOE Mindset Speaker Series and student activities; and supports the integration of high-impact practices and project-based experiential learning.[https://www.msoe.edu/academics/how-we-teach/create-institute/]

='''Actively Supporting the University Technology Transfer Function'''=

Current university technology transfer functions are limited on campus, but MSOE does have a few programs that we are proud to display. The first two are programs offered in the city of Milwaukee while the last is something offered exclusively by MSOE to MSOE students.

=='''The Commons'''==
<ul>
<li>'''Background''': The Commons is an entrepreneurial skills accelerator that drives students and young professionals through a process of Design Thinking in order to give a startup its foundation or execute a corporate challenge.</li>
<li>'''How it works''': Students apply and must be accepted to the program. Students then attend a kickoff weekend, are presented projects, pick a project, then spend 9 weeks going through processes of Customer Discovery, Ideation/Brainstorming, Defining a Problem, Creating a Solution, and Drafting a Business Plan. At the end of everything, the information is presented to the rest of the team in the form of a 4 minute pitch. Groups meet each Tuesday for 3 hours to run through the workshop of the week and often meet with each other one more time in the week, performing around 3-4 additional hours of work outside of the Tuesday sessions.</li>
<li>'''Mission''': For the students of Southeast Wisconsin’s colleges and universities, The Commons is an opportunity to get firmly planted in the region’s growing innovation economy. It's a chance to put skills to the test with real-world projects, work with talented peers and find the mentorship / networking opportunities that (pardon the cliche) are game-changers for their career paths. (thecommonswi.com)</li>
<li>'''Entrepreneurial Tie''': The Commons invokes the entrepreneurial mindset in students who will return to studies and careers in their respective fields with a new outlook.</li>
<li>'''Competitors''': I-Corps - but I-Corps targets a different audience, usually more so groups of students looking to develop their idea into a company. The Commons is able to help both the student looking to move forward their startup as well as the students who want to contribute to something and put to use the skills they’ve been learning in class.</li>
<li>'''Outcome''': Students return changed individuals to their universities and jobs. People who go through The Commons have a stronger tie to their entrepreneurial community, a passion for creativity and innovation, and the tools to handle any problem or project they may encounter.</li>
</ul>

=='''I-Corps (Innovation Corps)'''==
<ul>
<li>Background: Students from Milwaukee universities attend a session</li>
<li>How it works: Students apply to the program in the early months of the year. Once accepted, the student teams gather weekly for a series of five weeks to work through a “Lean Startup” process that moves their project ideas forward quickly and with a good foundation. Students receive a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) at the end of the 5 weeks to move forward with the project.</li>
<li>Mission: Funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Milwaukee I-Corps Program offers researchers and entrepreneurs a chance to explore the viability of their technologies and ventures through the “Lean Startup” or “Lean Launch” process of direct engagement with the potential markets. Through a five-week workshop, participants are coached on designing and validating a business model around their idea and deciding whether the idea is a go/no-go decision based on their business model.  Regardless of the go/no-go outcome, teams will develop valuable skills in discovering the market – skills that will inform their research, business, and careers. (http://icorpsmilwaukee.org)</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: Pushes forward student projects by providing them with a model to follow in order to gain progress as well as funding to accomplish things like prototyping, marketing, etc.</li>
<li>Competitors: The Commons - I-Corps focuses on getting projects to the stage of prototyping, so the project can make changes and pivot if need be. They get the projects through the rough part of honing in and creating a viable solution.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are encouraged to follow the inklings and create the ideas they think of. Students come out of I-Corps with the tools to move forward with prototyping and refining the solution the group has created. Students will also come out with the knowledge enabling them to reach out to additional investors to keep the project moving forward if that is what the group needs.</li>
</ul>

=='''Senior Design Seed Money'''==
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Background:  Students either kickstarting their Senior Design Project or Honors Servant Leadership Project may apply for up to $500 as seed funding.</li>
<li>How it works: Students fill out an application outlining the project, what the money will be used for, and why it’s important that they receive this seed money. There is a finite amount of funding, and it is dealt out first come first serve.</li>
<li>Mission: To enable students with projects to get off the ground and ensure they have a solid foundation to get off of. Going through the application process also forces the student, if they haven’t already, to aggregate and deliver the project concisely in a way that would warrant them funding.</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: The seed funding enables students to achieve goals more quickly as funding may be something holding students back from moving forward with their project.</li>
<li>Competitors: Any outside or inside investors - Senior Design Seed Funding however, is both certainly reliable and relatively easy to obtain compared to outside sources of funding like Angel Investors or Venture Capitalists.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are able to drive ideas forward with seed funding and likely have some money to fall back on later in the project.</li>
</ul>

='''Background'''=

==About MSOE==
We are the Milwaukee School of Engineering, where students pursue their passions in engineering, nursing, and business. We're dreamers, thinkers, makers and doers at a small university (around 2500 students) that is dedicated to achieving big things. From international racing competitions to ground-breaking medical innovations, our community is making the most out of their education. 

Innovation and entrepreneurship at MSOE starts with the community of learners who feel that I&E is a priority. MSOE takes this journey of I&E through five phases: Discover, Learn, Experiment, Pursue, and Spin Out. Discover begins by generating awareness, importance and fundamental elements of I&E to students. Students then realize I&E is important, and we want to get involved in a deeper way when we Learn; this integral part of MSOE's mindset is what makes every class a hands-on experience. Experiment to apply knowledge of I&E to a specific challenge/problem and form design teams or solo work to explore that potential. Students who Pursue are committing to an opportunity to license a technology, form or join a venture startup, or attain legal status.

==The MSOE Mindset==

==[https://www.msoe.edu/academics/how-we-teach/create-institute/ CREATE Institute]==

"The CREATE Institute fosters the growth of the MSOE Mindset by strengthening students’ entrepreneurial mindset and the servant-leader philosophy that transforms students into community builders and ethical professionals."

Project-based experiential learning is at the heart of the CREATE Institute, and how students will develop the skillset and mindset they need to solve the complex challenges of today and tomorrow. It is a resource for industry engagement and academic excellence. The institute is focused on developing high-impact educational experiences for MSOE students and faculty that have a community impact. It also serves as the institutional hub for faculty development; professional learning workshops for faculty, an MSOE Mindset Speaker Series and student activities; and supports the integration of high-impact practices and project-based experiential learning.[https://www.msoe.edu/academics/how-we-teach/create-institute/]

='''Actively Supporting the University Technology Transfer Function'''=

Current university technology transfer functions are limited on campus, but MSOE does have a few programs that we are proud to display. The first two are programs offered in the city of Milwaukee while the last is something offered exclusively by MSOE to MSOE students.

=='''The Commons'''==
<ul>
<li>'''Background''': The Commons is an entrepreneurial skills accelerator that drives students and young professionals through a process of Design Thinking in order to give a startup its foundation or execute a corporate challenge.</li>
<li>'''How it works''': Students apply and must be accepted to the program. Students then attend a kickoff weekend, are presented projects, pick a project, then spend 9 weeks going through processes of Customer Discovery, Ideation/Brainstorming, Defining a Problem, Creating a Solution, and Drafting a Business Plan. At the end of everything, the information is presented to the rest of the team in the form of a 4 minute pitch. Groups meet each Tuesday for 3 hours to run through the workshop of the week and often meet with each other one more time in the week, performing around 3-4 additional hours of work outside of the Tuesday sessions.</li>
<li>'''Mission''': For the students of Southeast Wisconsin’s colleges and universities, The Commons is an opportunity to get firmly planted in the region’s growing innovation economy. It's a chance to put skills to the test with real-world projects, work with talented peers and find the mentorship / networking opportunities that (pardon the cliche) are game-changers for their career paths. (thecommonswi.com)</li>
<li>'''Entrepreneurial Tie''': The Commons invokes the entrepreneurial mindset in students who will return to studies and careers in their respective fields with a new outlook.</li>
<li>'''Competitors''': I-Corps - but I-Corps targets a different audience, usually more so groups of students looking to develop their idea into a company. The Commons is able to help both the student looking to move forward their startup as well as the students who want to contribute to something and put to use the skills they’ve been learning in class.</li>
<li>'''Outcome''': Students return changed individuals to their universities and jobs. People who go through The Commons have a stronger tie to their entrepreneurial community, a passion for creativity and innovation, and the tools to handle any problem or project they may encounter.</li>
</ul>

=='''I-Corps (Innovation Corps)'''==
<ul>
<li>Background: Students from Milwaukee universities attend a session</li>
<li>How it works: Students apply to the program in the early months of the year. Once accepted, the student teams gather weekly for a series of five weeks to work through a “Lean Startup” process that moves their project ideas forward quickly and with a good foundation. Students receive a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) at the end of the 5 weeks to move forward with the project.</li>
<li>Mission: Funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Milwaukee I-Corps Program offers researchers and entrepreneurs a chance to explore the viability of their technologies and ventures through the “Lean Startup” or “Lean Launch” process of direct engagement with the potential markets. Through a five-week workshop, participants are coached on designing and validating a business model around their idea and deciding whether the idea is a go/no-go decision based on their business model.  Regardless of the go/no-go outcome, teams will develop valuable skills in discovering the market – skills that will inform their research, business, and careers. (http://icorpsmilwaukee.org)</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: Pushes forward student projects by providing them with a model to follow in order to gain progress as well as funding to accomplish things like prototyping, marketing, etc.</li>
<li>Competitors: The Commons - I-Corps focuses on getting projects to the stage of prototyping, so the project can make changes and pivot if need be. They get the projects through the rough part of honing in and creating a viable solution.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are encouraged to follow the inklings and create the ideas they think of. Students come out of I-Corps with the tools to move forward with prototyping and refining the solution the group has created. Students will also come out with the knowledge enabling them to reach out to additional investors to keep the project moving forward if that is what the group needs.</li>
</ul>

=='''Senior Design Seed Money'''==
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Background:  Students either kickstarting their Senior Design Project or Honors Servant Leadership Project may apply for up to $500 as seed funding.</li>
<li>How it works: Students fill out an application outlining the project, what the money will be used for, and why it’s important that they receive this seed money. There is a finite amount of funding, and it is dealt out first come first serve.</li>
<li>Mission: To enable students with projects to get off the ground and ensure they have a solid foundation to get off of. Going through the application process also forces the student, if they haven’t already, to aggregate and deliver the project concisely in a way that would warrant them funding.</li>
<li>Entrepreneurial Tie: The seed funding enables students to achieve goals more quickly as funding may be something holding students back from moving forward with their project.</li>
<li>Competitors: Any outside or inside investors - Senior Design Seed Funding however, is both certainly reliable and relatively easy to obtain compared to outside sources of funding like Angel Investors or Venture Capitalists.</li>
<li>Outcome: Students are able to drive ideas forward with seed funding and likely have some money to fall back on later in the project.</li>

==Bio==
Hello! My name is Ben and I am a charismatic, chatty nerd with a passion for helping others.

I have a growth mindset, so I am always looking for ways to improve myself and gain new skills. This often means I love to learn and rotate through hobbies depending on my current interests. My favorites (the ones that have stuck around for a while) are 3D Printing/modeling, gaming, cooking, photography, and crochet.

I also am a HUGE music fan. It is hard to find music I don't listen to, which means there is also music I listen to in languages I don't understand. I am also very passionate about playing instruments and currently am working on self teaching electric guitar.

==Bio==
Hello! My name is Ben and I am a charismatic, chatty nerd with a passion for helping others.

I have a growth mindset, so I am always looking for ways to improve myself and gain new skills. This often means I love to learn and rotate through hobbies depending on my current interests. My favorites (the ones that have stuck around for a while) are 3D Printing/modeling, gaming, cooking, photography, and crochet.

I also am a HUGE music fan. Its hard to find music I don't listen to, which means there is also music I listen to in languages I don't understand because I appreciate more than just the lyric content. I am also very passionate about playing instruments and currently am working on self teaching electric guitar.
