Jayjkkumar:

'''Jay Kumar''' is a sophomore pursuing his bachelor’s in electrical engineering at the NYU Polytechnic School of Engineering. From his experience as a student teacher his senior year of high school, Jay witnessed the flaws in our education system firsthand. This prompted him to reject the pursuit of achievement and focus on becoming the best version of himself that he can be.

As part of this, from helping plan the School of Engineering Welcome Week to creating inroads between student clubs, Jay is heavily involved in the engineering school’s student life. As part of his fellowship with the University Innovation Fellows, he is working with administration, faculty, and student leaders to cultivate an environment conducive to innovation and entrepreneurship. He’s also a techie at heart, being a finalist in the last Inno/Vention competition and reading up on the latest technologies. In his personal time, Jay enjoys strength training, reading, cooking and walking aimlessly along the City streets.

'''Jay Kumar''' is a student, tinkerer, and aspiring entrepreneur pursuing his Bachelor’s in electrical engineering. After taking a diversity and education course in his senior year of high school, Jay witnessed the flaws in our current education model firsthand. Following the wisdom of his grandfather, he started focusing on developing himself as a person, eschewing the “rat race” of the education-industrial complex, to create the life he wants for himself. Currently, Jay is working with a team to build a website spanning the NYU school system that will allow both students and professors to connect and collaborate on their ideas. He's also working to increase student internship/research oppurtunities within the engineering school. In his personal time, Jay enjoys strength training, reading, cooking and getting lost in New York City while using Google Maps.

'''John Henry'''

University Innovation Fellow

I am a senior electrical engineering student from New York University Polytechnic School of Engineering. I specialize in wireless communications, digital signal processing, and database management. I worked as a product developer for a start-up company called Tactile Navigation Tools (TNT), based at the NYU Langone medical center in Manhattan. I currently work for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) as a Car Equipment analyst and database administrator. I’m also a member of several student chapters at the engineering school, such as, for instance, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), Patent Pending— which is responsible to connect engineering students with new star-up ideas— and the National Association of Black Engineers (NSBE) and more importantly NYU-STARTUP which is a new chapter that connects and link all NYU students together.With this in mind, I get involved in different on campus networking activities and make sure that the majority of the students at my school take advantage of those activities as well by accentuating on their importance in the Polytechnic Reporter which is the newspaper outlet for the NYU Engineering School which I manage as its deputy managing editor. I speak four languages (French, creole, English and Spanish) but I’m only fluent in the first three. I play the piano and i am a member of a band. My goal as an engineer and a fellow member of the University Innovation fellowship is to revolutionize how students think of the concept of entrepreneurship, the idea of job and opportunity prospects, and then turn those students into the most marketable (based on what employers and university seek for) and open-minded thinker that they could ever be. Therefore, my ultimate goal as a fellow is to first, engineer my mind to the exact specifications of a perfect systematic learning and processing piece of an ensemble (University, family, community, country…) and then to influence those around me in order to create what I call the most talented problem solving group.

[[File:NYUSOE.jpeg]]New York University Polytechnic School of Engineering (NYU| SOE) founded in 1854, is the second oldest private engineering and technology school in the United States. NYU| SOE is one of the 18 schools and colleges that comparise New York University (NYU). The campus is located in Brooklyn, centrally located at MetroTech Centre, an urban university-industry science and technology park. The school offers about 60 academic programs at bachelor's, masters and doctoral levels. [[File:NYUCampus.jpg|frame]]
= The Urban-Campus =
NYU-SOE is located in the heart of the Brooklyn Downtown area; it blends with the corporate world and gives students an exposure to resources beyond the university gates, increases their opportunities, and prepares them for the future. The students can easily tap into array of resources from NYU-SOE and as well as the NYU-Washington SquareEcosystem (17 schools) which are few stops away in NYC-Metro (approx: 20 minutes). NYU is a global university, which means when students joins one school under the NYU umbrella, they can access resources across most of the schools (Including the global campuses).

= Spaces that Inspire Innovation =

== Leslie eLab ==
Recently, NYU added a new space called the [https://www.nyu.edu/about/university-initiatives/entrepreneurship-at-nyu/leslie-elab.html Leslie eLab] at the heart of the university campus. The Leslie eLab is a 5900-square-foot facility in the heart of the Washington Square campus where aspiring NYU entrepreneurs from across all of NYU's schools and colleges-be they students, faculty, or researchers-can meet to connect,collaborate, and tap into a vast array of resources to help develop their ideas and inventions into startup companies.Run by the NYU Entrepreneurial Institute, the Leslie eLab is equipped with co-working spaces, meeting rooms, an event space and a prototyping lab. It is designed to encourage interaction, prototyping, collaboration, and networking so essential in the creation of successful startups.  The Leslie eLab serves as the headquarters for the [https://www.nyu.edu/about/university-initiatives/entrepreneurship-at-nyu/about/entrepreneurial-institute.html NYU Entrepreneurial Institute] and [https://www.nyu.edu/about/university-initiatives/entrepreneurship-at-nyu/fund/innovation-venture-fund.html NYU Innovation Venture Fund]. Just from the idea of possibly building the space, it has inspired a lot of students and faculty towards innovation and entrepreneurship. Now, after physically building the space it is believed it will instill a stronger sense of community among NYU’s budding entrepreneurs in its many schools.

== Greenhouse ==
[[File:Greenhouse.jpg]]The [http://greenhousestories.com/ Greenhouse] is a home for ideation and collaboration at NYU-SOE. It is a space that stimulates interdisciplinary collaboration, prototyping, and innovation. The culture of the greenhouse aims to nurture seedlings of ideas and bring ideas to life through iteration and experimentation. The space is a blank slate for creative thinkers with occasional talks ([http://greenhousestories.com/youth-cafe/ Youth Cafe]), skill shares, and opportunities to meet with professionals from NYU-SOE incubators and industry.Apart form that, The Greenhouse organises, plans, and produces an array of events to promote collaborative thinking and bring together interdisciplinary groups to solve problems. Through events like OpenStorm, Hack Ebole, PROTOTYPING, and other workshops like the Youth Cafe or Arduino Workshops, The Greenhouse provides students access to the basics of Innovation and Entrepreneurship while also opening them up to professional communities.

== NYU-SOE Incubators ==
[[File:Poly-incubator.jpg]][http://engineering.nyu.edu/business/incubators NYU-SOE Incubators] are the spaces dedicated to NYU and NYC based startups for early stage companies. These incubators, other than providing space to work, also provide the guidance, expertise, and resources that organizations need to grow into successful ventures to bring economic growth to The City and the Nation. NYU-SOE has three functional incubator spaces: [http://engineering.nyu.edu/business/incubators/dumbo DUMBO], [http://engineering.nyu.edu/business/incubators/nyc-acre NYC ACRE], and [http://engineering.nyu.edu/business/incubators/varick Varick Street].

Their mission: develop next generation gaming. Some of the various projects includes user interface innovation (sensor-based tracking, multi-touch), network & video quality research, and providing research on how gaming can benefit learning.

= Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship =
NYU-SOE students are ingrained with a strong sense of innovation and entrepreneurship. Here, Students are constantly applying the I2E ("I squared E" - invention, innovation, and entrepreneurship) philosophy in our classrooms, competitions, organizations, workspaces, career development opportunities, and funding.The premier organizations on campus supporting this ideology are “The Entrepreneurship and Innovation Association” (EIA) and “The Design Tinkering Club” (DTC). EIA seeks to create an entrepreneurial ecosystem based on the I2Ephilosophy by hosting a student-faculty forum to “learn the concepts of entrepreneurship, provide the benefits of self-employment, and [learn] the step-by-step path involved in launching and commercializing” their own ideas. Each year they host events, workshops, and challenges such as [http://engineering.nyu.edu/innovention Inno/Vention], [http://riskyideas.com/ Risky Ideas], and App Challenge. In addition, they actively participate in the [http://www.stern.nyu.edu/experience-stern/about/departments-centers-initiatives/centers-of-research/berkley-center/programs/venture-competitions/index.htm NYU Entrepreneur Challenge].The Design Tinkering Club, originally the OpenIDEO Student Chapter, uses design thinking to cultivate viable solutions for social issues. Each year, DTC champions the [http://www.openideo.com/ OpenIDEO Challenge] across campus to spark engagement and awareness of the world’s most pressing social issues. In conjunction with NYU-SOE administrators and stakeholders such as NCIIA and NSF, DTC launched The Greenhouse, a collaborative workspace for students and faculty to inspire, ideate, prototype, and share their newest innovations and entrepreneurial ventures. The Greenhouse wants to further educate and cultivate design thinkers through events like Youth Cafe: bi-weekly workshops and talks featuring professionals in entrepreneurship and innovation worlds.NYU-SOE students can learn first hand what it takes to be a working entrepreneur through SPIKE: the [http://engineering.nyu.edu/SPIKE Skill-based Program for Incubator Knowledge and Employment]. This program aims to support early-stage companies developing in SOE's incubators while simultaneously providing an opportunity for students to learn the skills necessary to find employment after completing their studies. These internships are held at one of the three offices in the [http://engineering.nyu.edu/business/incubators NYU-SOE Incubators]. These spaces are also open to current NYU & NYU-SOE students to work on their own ventures free of charge. In addition to career development, NYU-SOE is also a part of the [http://www.nyu.edu/about/university-initiatives/entrepreneurship-at-nyu/accelerate/nyu-summer-launchpad.html NYU Summer LaunchPad]: a 10 week summer program for graduating student teams to accelerate their new entrepreneurship ventures.While NYU-SOE students have access to a variety of funds to get their ideas and ventures of the ground, such as the [http://www.nyu.edu/about/university-initiatives/entrepreneurship-at-nyu/fund/nyu-prototyping-fund.html Prototyping Fund] and the [http://www.nyu.edu/about/university-initiatives/entrepreneurship-at-nyu/fund/innovation-venture-fund.html Innovation Venture][https://www.nyu.edu/about/university-initiatives/entrepreneurship-at-nyu/fund/innovation-venture-fund.html Fund], you can find the full listing [http://www.nyu.edu/about/university-initiatives/entrepreneurship-at-nyu/fund.html here].<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>

= Faculty Innovation and Entrepreneurship =
NYU-SOE is the home to the Center for Faculty Innovations in Teaching and Learning ([http://engineering.nyu.edu/academics/support/fitl FITL]): a faculty-centered enterprise dedicated to the advancement of educational practice. Its mission is to partner with the NYU-SOE community to promote innovative teaching strategies and technologies for learning. FITL was created through a 5-year, $1.92 million Title III Strengthening Institutions grant the US Department of Education awarded NYU-SOE in October 2008. Its objective is to increase NYU-SOE’s reputation as a leader in STEM higher education through extensive faculty training and providing resources to incorporate educational technology within the classroom and curriculum.Additionally, NYU-SOE has a network of[http://engineering.nyu.edu/business/incubators/faculty-engineers-in-residence faculty-engineers-in-residence (EIRs)] to advise students on pursuing entrepreneurial ventures and innovating products as well as to advise companies in the school's incubators. The EIRs also provide the students with connections to accelerate the progression of their venture.

= University Technology Transfer Function =
Technology transfer at NYU and NYU-SOE is governed through the NYU Office of Industrial Liaison ([http://oil.med.nyu.edu/frontpage NYU OIL]). NYU OIL’s mission is to promote the commercial development of NYU technologies from its Langone Medical Center, Washington Square, and NYU-SOE campuses into products to benefit the public while also providing resources to the University to support its research, education, and patient care missions. The Office also facilitates research collaborations between NYU researchers and industry on projects of mutual interest.NYU OIL actively seeks commercial partners to develop NYU technologies and works to establish mutually beneficial long-term relationships. For example, almost 60% of NYU patents have been licensed to companies for development and commercialization. Over the past five years, NYU has ranked first among all U.S. universities in income from technology licensing, which is brought back to provide for further researching. NYU actively promotes entrepreneurship with more than 70 companies created based on NYU technologies. In the most recent published comparative data on technology commercialization activity at U.S. universities, NYU created 87% more new start-up companies per research dollars expended than the national average (NYU OIL).

= Regional and Local Economic Development Efforts =
CATT: Created in 1983, as one of the State of New York's 4 original Centers for Advanced Technology, CATT continues to fulfill its mission to stimulate economic development in information technology through research and education.CITE: Former NYU-SOE President Hultin once stated that “With CITE, NYU-SOE’s researchers, students and industry partners are well poised to contribute to the economic growth of New York. CITE will facilitate the collaborative development of ground-breaking digital gaming innovations and new media technologies with tangible commercial applications.” ([http://engineering.nyu.edu/press-release/2011/03/11/polytechnic-institute-nyu-launches-new-center-innovation-technology-and-ent CITE Press Release])In addition to CATT and CITE, NYU-SOE Incubators have an impressive track record with local economic boom having generated more than $250 million in economic activity as well as 900 jobs since 2009 ([http://www.poly.edu/business/incubators/impact NYU-SOE Incubator]). Named one of the Top 10 Idea Labs in the U.S. by [http://www.bizjournals.com/prnewswire/press_releases/2013/08/21/NY67450 Worth] magazine, the NYU-SOE Incubators - Varick St., DUMBO and NYC-ACRE, Greenhouse - are changing the landscape of New York City for the better. As the first NYC-sponsored Incubators and cornerstones of the NYU Entrepreneurial Institute, these programs are designed to empower entrepreneurs from across NYC and NYU who are creating jobs, launching new technology products and services, and diversifying the local innovation ecosystem ([http://www.poly.edu/business/incubators/impact NYU-SOE Incubator]). Since 2009, the Incubators have served over one hundred companies, with seven of those acquired by established public and private entities. Program graduates, who have raised more than $60M in equity funding and economic growth, are projected to create nearly $720 million by 2015 ([http://www.poly.edu/business/incubators/impact NYU-SOE Incubator]). NYU-SOE’s Incubators leverage support from NYCEDC, NYSERDA, and other government entities, as well as from Trinity Real Estate, Two Trees Management Company, and now Forest City Ratner Companies.

Priorities:Polytechnic Institute of New York University Student Priorities

2015-01-30T01:49:32Z

Jayjkkumar:

= Overview =
NYU-Poly as a school of engineering has developed a philosophy based on innovation, invention and entrepreneurship, captured by its motto,  i2e. This is the motivation driving Poly’s culture both academically and socially. But as Poly transitions into full integration in the NYU network, current students and alums are yearning for outlets to express their i2e identity. And this is where the gap stems from: an unawareness of design, consulting, and innovation focused communities affiliated with NYU-Poly and opportunities for valuable professional experience through the use of creative problem solving methodologies to consult on real world problems.To tackle this issue, I am proposing to develop and host an innovation consulting competition. This competition serves three key purposes. The first is to provide an environment that enacts the i2e philosophy of NYU-Poly, thus allowing NYU-Poly students to practice with real world projects while collaborating with students from other schools. Second, is to start framing a narrative around students building a tangible portfolio of work  while offering corporate recruiters access to high profile talent. Lastly, the competition is a prototype that will expose NYU administration to the benefits of having a student innovation club and support the inauguration of the Greenhouse Collective (an innovation consulting group inspired by the Design Tinkering Club and the Greenhouse that is awaiting NYU approval and support).<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>Please click hyperlink to view the Prezi overview of my [http://prezi.com/gdr0ztk4wxc3/?utm_campaign=share&utm_medium=copy campus ecosystem. ]

== Tactic: Prototyping Month / 3D Week ==

After reassessing the landscape and existing infrastructure, I discovered that NYU & NYU Engineering was satuarated with competitions and semester-long challenges. With the collective insight of my advisor, Anne-Laure Fayard, we decided to focus on cultivating a culture of innovation by hosting a month-long series of pop up workshops at NYU Engineering's campus, particularly in the Greenhouse, a newly built collaborative workspace for students to congregate, explore their ideas, and find resources to make forward progress with their ventures. 

= NYU + NYU SOE:Two Strong Traditions, One Even Stronger Future =

The community has become even stronger after the official merger of NYU and NYU-Poly. The resources available on campus have quadrupled which the students can tap into with ease.The merger has bridged the communication gap between two campuses so that students and faculty from various fields can interact and exchange thoughts efficiently. This cohesive environment has shown an accelerating impact on the groundbreaking research, Inventions and engineering projects that are coming out of this university.

= Strategy 4: Makerspace on campus =

 After interviewing a lot of stakeholders at the university, it seems like one thing that could further enhance the current I & E ecosystem at the university is a makerspace.  A space where students can get hands on experience with prototyping and others tools. Students can apply their in-class knowledge toreal-life. Conversely, student will be exposed to the latest, 'cutting-edge' technologies as they come out to ensure that the quality of our engineers matches the demand in the booming Brooklyn tech scene

NYU School of Engineering is in the initial stages building a makerspace for their community.  Being an engineering school, this space would help foster creativity and design tinkering amongst students and faculty.

== Tactics: ==
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Recognize administrators and other stakeholders (students and faculty) at the university who are responsible/would be interested and connect with them.</li>
<li>Determine an ideal space on campus that could be useful for building makerspace.</li>
<li>Create a hardware hacking space, biomaterial hacking space, and a 'hacker's lounge' for various students to work on and discuss their ideas.</li>
<li>Seek for corporate partners from the city who would be interested. This would bring in projects for students.</li>
<li>Regular workshops for students.</li>
<li>Come up with some potential revenue streams.</li>
<li>Collaborate with the other entrepreneurial and innovative spaces on campus, for example: Incubators, Greenhouse, Leslie E lab, Magnet etc.</li>
<li>Host regular hack fests and invention contest.</li>
<li>Take technologically-adept students and pay them to mentor other students</li>
</ul>

= Strategy 5: SPARK (Tentative Name) =

 Greenhouse is a home for ideation and collaboration at NYU-SOE managed by Professor Anne-Laure Fayard and the greenhouse guardians (Students). The space hosts occasional talks (Youth Cafe), skill shares and opportunities to meet with professionals from NYU-SOE incubators and industry. It provides a unique environment where students gain knowledge and learn the importance of design thinkering - Creative problem solving, Innovation and entrepreneurship unlike other spaces, which are focused on inventions/ growth of a startup.  

The accelerating growth of the I & E ecosystem at the university has empowered the students engagement towards the activities hosted by Greenhouse. This clearly shows the increase in demand for such activities. Innovations fellows, Greenhouse guardians and Professor Anne-Laure Fayard will design a program, SPARK (Tentative name). SPARK would not only open doors for students with innovative ideas but also for those seeking to be design thinkers, innovative or entrepreneurial. SPARK will be designed to bridge all the spaces/resources available on campus and make it easier for students to tap into.

== Tactics: ==
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Recognize administrators and other stakeholders (students and faculty) at the university who are responsible/would be interested and connect with them.</li>
<li>Design well structured program where students gain overall experience in design thinking, innovation and entrepreneurship.</li>
<li>Open to students from all majors.</li>
<li>Curriculum courses: Credit incentives for students</li>
<li>Program creates synergy between the innovative spaces on campus. i.e enhances the current I & E ecosystem.</li>
</ul>

= Strategy 6: i2e Showcase (Annual) =

 NYU School of Engineering students are constantly applying the i2e (innovation, invention and entrepreneurship) philosophy in our classrooms, competition, organization, workspaces, and career development opportunities. Campus resources have increased to a level where now students are overwhelmed or have no clue about where to start from.

i2e Showcase will be an annual event that will feature display of the most recent projects, Inventions, startups and innovative spaces on campus. A part of the showcase will be networking, where students can explore opportunities that might interest them. Sharing inventions and great project will inspire the students and also empower their engagement towards Innovation and Entrepreneurship.

== Tactics: ==
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Recognize administrators and other stakeholders (students and faculty) at the university who are responsible/would be interested and connect with them.</li>
<li>Prepare a proposal to show administrators its importance to get permissions to make it an annual event.</li>
<li>Invite influencing projects, inventions and startups developing at the school to share their experience and story.</li>
<li>Tour-visit to the innovative spaces on campus.</li>
<li>Keep the event also open to public, that might bring in new projects for students to work on.</li>
</ul>
