Khyati Agarwal earned her Bachelors in Computer Science and Engineering at Galgotias College of Engineering and Technology, Greater Noida. She is now the QA ENGINEER at the India's fastes growing fintech which has been backed by Alibaba group's Ant Financial. Only a few months ago, she received an expert Level 1 certificate.<br />
<br />
Not having much personal experience with programming during school days and weak eyesight, she was initially not keen on pursuing computer science. Nonetheless, seeing every situation as an opportunity, during her undergraduate days, during 3rd year of her college Khyati worked in the Creative club of her college where she learned photoshopping, graphic designing designing posters for college(do you guys know the reason for this? It was due to her idea behind turning her passion for sketching and making portraits during school days into computer art). She also joined the technical team of her department learning to code. Also trying out her passion for music since school days, she sang at various college events in choir and solo stage performances. She also hosted the farewell of her seniors in 2nd year. All these appearances and opportunities paved way for a stronger internship during final year and she was asked by her college senior(who was a music club head during second year) to work in their startup, their budding idea from scratch. Thus began her entreprenuerial journey and she worked the entire fourth year of her college in the music startup(a team of 7-9 members only!) passionately working to bridge the gap between musicians and the gig industry through their product (initially as a full stack developer, for six months) and going on to later sell it as well(as a sales person for 2 months). It was really proud of them since they managed the entire company through revenues generated through the working product. It was amazing! It was a hard time with she juggling between different roles, as a student sitting for placements; as a full stack developer; simultaneously learning new tools of design thinking by UIF(1st in Bangalore and then in USA) and applying in college; final year projects; working for UIF as by giving design thinking workshops to the students; applying design thinking in her company; giving final year exams; then rejoining the company as a sales person; she closely linked it to the then found business acumen as a consequence of working in the startup. Working multiple jobs(Kinda!) let her to quicky figure out things that worked for her and that did not work for her. Even though the journey was amazing and tumultuous, financial constraints as well as coming of fourth year to end meant she had to now work for money (Yes, all this time she was being paid 1000rs only as a salary every month in the startup! The idea mattered!!) she now had to look for options of earning and as a means of staying in Noida, where she could work. It was a blessing in disguise when Paytm interview came and surprisingly, out of nowhere, she sat for the exam, cleared it, appeared for pool placement and was amongst the 2 people selected from college for the company. Her not giving up preference for a profile(owing to her experience working as a full stack developer) landed her as a QA ENGINEER. She immediately joined and working with some amazing co-workers she applied her technical acumen in automating the test cases for the Company, visiting China for the same. Working in a huge company taught her a lot about how companies are run, how so many people come together for one goal, how things progress; how people thrive in uncertainty and ambiguity and how much working joyfully with colleagues matters. There's a lot of learning to share! And she cherishes every moment she had spent in the company. <br />
<br />
As a University Innovation Fellow, Khyati worked with her fellow mates to give design thinking workshop to the students only to realise that the only problem of employment and skill gap that had existed in her college could not be filled through the sessions alone and much, much more was needed apart from that. She realises how scarce the resources are in comparison to the total number of people and how important it is for people to be equipped with them to lead a fruitful life. She aims to work more in this direction and hopes she is able to realise this in her lifetime.<br />

<hr />
<div>Khyati Agarwal is an undergraduate student studying'''computer science engineering(CSE) '''at'''Galgotias College of Engineering and Technology(GCET)''', currently a university innovation fellows candidate and a firm[[File:Khyaticopy1.png|thumb|Khyaticopy1.png]] believer in the importance of human&nbsp;resources.She is presently in third year of her college.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Studying computer science was not exactly what she had wanted to do, and there lack of proper practical education and a direction in students of her college. No doubt there are few people who can change your mindset and life, and &nbsp;she gives this credit to her mother, maternal uncle and unknowingly Ramesh Raskar(a researcher) who helped her start firmly again.She joined the '''Creative team '''of her college,'''technical team '''of her department '''(Extreme)'''and now loves being an active member of them, learning various photoshop effects and to code. Apart from that she is constantly studying to realize her dream of becoming a researcher. Well apart from this side of her, she has always loved music and constantly sings at various college events via music club and is currently involved in the decorations of the upcoming college fest.<br />
<br />
Her journey in college made her realize that there are more people like her. She realized that the infrastructure provided and the education imparted to the students is not enough in providing a sound direction to the students and shaping their path, moreover in realizing their teams.India produces second largest number of engineers every year (after China). Yet only one-sixth of a fraction are worth looking for. This is a daunting sight. Everyone has a dream and surely everyone deserves to be happy. They should have an infrastructure and a support system that helps them decide what they want to do since the first day of their college to bring it to realtiy. She wants to provide a means to them for searching this happiness of theirs by creating a strong college environment.<br />

Now if you are in a Chinese/Japanese restaurant then you would surely feel left out and guess what it’s never your fault, you have the bowl of noodles you have chopsticks it’s just that you don’t know the procedure to use it. Similarly, thousands of children all round the world want to generate new ideas “they want to eat (in case of our example) but don’t know how to use the chopsticks or as in our case generate new ideas. In our college two programs run in a similar direction. One is '''ICC'''(Infosys Campus Connect)/'''PDP'''(Personality Development Program) and second is '''Startup Summit’s. '''ICC/PDP is available from second to the third year of graduation which might not be too late but yes it is late. Why waste a year to start idea generation.

·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Creating a Facebook (social media based) page to showcase those students who have benefited from such programs and how their journey started.

<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<br />
== '''Improvement on Start-Up Summits''' ==<br />
<br />

*Funding for the same is needed to be generated (which is approved by the CEO of GEI)<br />
*To be held more than once in a year as many students are not able to attend when it takes place a single time a year. This would ensure more participation and yes motivation to do.&nbsp;'''Expected Time of Completion&nbsp;:&nbsp;''Before August 2017 a Startup Summit shall be conducted.'''''<br />

·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; More faculties would be involved. This would require fewer efforts as they themselves would understand its importance post its success.<br />
<br />

<br />
== <u>Central Problem</u> ==<br />
<br />
Though the increase and providing funds lies in the hand of the highest levels of management , still we found the following issues.<br />
<br />
*There is no proper channel for the students to follow and gain funds from the concerned authorities.<br />
*Students end up in acquring the wrong notions about funding.<br />
*&nbsp;Lack of motivation from the supporting staff and teachers end up in the project being regarded as a failed idea.<br />

*&nbsp; &nbsp; Redefining the most effective channel to be followed so that the students don't end up in dimissing their ideas.<br />
*&nbsp; &nbsp; Indulging the faculties and other teachers to support the student and guide them to success.<br />
*&nbsp; &nbsp; Providing the management with working prototypes so that they have a clearer idea about the upcoming project.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

*would be allowed to work over their innovation during weekends in labs'''(Expected time of completion''': '''''By&nbsp;March end)&nbsp;'''''<br />
*students from all branches would have access to these labs'''&nbsp;(Expected time of completion''':&nbsp;'''''By August end)&nbsp;'''''<br />
*Students lab hours would be increased so that they can access labs after 5pm (in the evening) as well '''&nbsp;(Expected time of completion''':&nbsp;'''''By&nbsp;March end)&nbsp;'''''<br />
<br />
<br />
<div>Addressing attendance issue helps the students by providing time in the college. This is a very basic step addressing the problem of the few students that have ideas that need to be prototyped or experimented. Apart from that innovation can be initiated in college by making students realize its importance -</div><br />
<br />
== Video Lectures and discussions on them&nbsp; ==<br />
<div>Under this category among the existent lectures of college we wish to propose discussion between students where multiple topics would be addressed by students-&nbsp;</div><div><br/></div><br />
*innovation in which students are shown videos which inspires and motivates them to think out of the box. Have a failure accepting mindset and be strategic while proceeding in this direction.'''(Expected time of initiation:''After the student body forms and its inclusion in our PDP sessions till then i.e. after April'''''<i>''')&nbsp;'''</i><br />
*video lectures of courses demanded in industry which tells student pre-requisites of industry and helps students choose their actual area of interest &nbsp;'''(Expected time of completion''':&nbsp;'''''By August end)&nbsp;'''''<br />

<br />
Imagine an ideal situation; you have a bowl of noodles and a pair of chopsticks. Also suppose you are new to using chopsticks. Now if you are in a Chinese/Japanese restaurant then you would surely feel left out and guess what it’s never your fault, you have the bowl of noodles you have chopsticks it’s just that you don’t know the procedure to use it. Similarly, thousands of children all round the world want to generate new ideas “they want to eat (in case of our example) but don’t know how to use the chopsticks or as in our case generate new ideas. In our college two programs run in a similar direction. One is '''ICC'''(Infosys Campus Connect)/'''PDP'''(Personality Development Program) and second is '''Startup Summit’s. '''ICC/PDP is available from second to the third year of graduation which might not be too late but yes it is late. Why waste a year to start idea generation. Idea generation is like growing a plant, it takes years. Presently, students tend to bunk such sessions so before we implement to first year we would like to improve the present scenario.<br />
<br />
== '''Improvement on Present ICC/PDP Classes''' ==<br />
<br />
·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Creating a Facebook (social media based) page to showcase those students who have benefited from such programs and how their journey started. This would stand as a mode of inspiration and motivation to new comers and those who don’t find its importance. Also, it would act as a virus which could spread cross branches and cross colleges for greater impact.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
'''Expected Time of Completion&nbsp;: ''Before mid March 2017 and updation would continue thereby.'''''<br />

Imagine an ideal situation; you have a bowl of noodles and a pair of chopsticks. Also suppose you are new to using chopsticks. Now if you are in a Chinese/Japanese restaurant then you would surely feel left out and guess what it’s never your fault, you have the bowl of noodles you have chopsticks it’s just that you don’t know the procedure to use it. Similarly, thousands of children all round the world want to generate new ideas “they want to eat (in case of our example) but don’t know how to use the chopsticks or as in our case generate new ideas. In our college two programs run in a similar direction. One is '''ICC'''(Infosys Campus Connect)/'''PDP'''(Personality Development Program) and second is '''Startup Summit’s. '''ICC/PDP is available from second to the third year of graduation which might not be too late but yes it is late. Why waste a year to start idea generation. Idea generation is like growing a plant, it takes years. Presently, students tend to bunk such sessions so before we implement to first year we would like to improve the present scenario.<br />
<br />
== '''Improvement on Present ICC/PDP Classes''' ==<br />
<br />
·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Creating a Facebook (social media based) page to showcase those students who have benefited from such programs and how their journey started. This would stand as a mode of inspiration and motivation to new comers and those who don’t find its importance. Also, it would act as a virus which could spread cross branches and cross colleges for greater impact.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
'''Expected Time of Completion&nbsp;: ''Before mid March 2017 and updation would continue thereby.'''''<br />
<br />
·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Spreading awareness regarding the importance of ICC/PDP classes.<br />
<br />
'''Expected Time of Completion&nbsp;:&nbsp;''Before March 2017 by faculties and flash mob's and posters'''''<br />
<br />
·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Motivating Students to participate in competitions related to ICC/PDP.<br />
<br />
·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A '''Student Body''' (presently the fellows of the said college have agreed to take charge) under guidance of faculties, who would keep a check on the said program. They would monitor that students do attend such sessions, and if they don’t then motivate them to attend these lectures by telling them about its importance.<br />
<br />
'''Expected Time of Completion&nbsp;:&nbsp;''Before April 2017 in which the student body would be ready and recognised in the college.'''''<br />
<br />
·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Motivating students to generate ideas by giving them past examples so that they have a basic sketch of how to climb ladders. This was done recently by a senior of our college who created an application for the college attendance, and yes it did come out good.<br />
<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<br />
== '''Improvement on Start-Up Summits''' ==<br />
<br />
*Seminars and workshops (TEDx) workshops should be initiated a month before the startup summits so that those who wish to participate in such events have ideas on what to do and how to do since people tend to be blank about the proceedings of such events.'''Expected Time of Completion&nbsp;:&nbsp;''Before July 2017 as orgainising seminars would require mentors and faculties with sponsorships.'''''<br />
*Funding for the same is needed to be generated (which is approved by the CEO of GEI)<br />
*To be held more than once in a year as many students are not able to attend when it takes place a single time a year. This would ensure more participation and yes motivation to do.&nbsp;'''Expected Time of Completion&nbsp;:&nbsp;''Before August 2017 a Startup Summit shall be conducted.'''''<br />
*Cross branch involvement, as this would ensure that right guidance is provided to beginners and a bigger idea can be brought to life.'''Expected Time of Completion&nbsp;:&nbsp;''Only post the above mentioned programmes work efficiently.'''''<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== '''Future aspects ''<br/> ==<br />

<br />
Once the above plans are running successfully<br />
<br />
·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Implementation to first year would take place. As it would be safe to initiate the whole process to first year after it has been improved where it is presently exercising.<br />
<br />
·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; More faculties would be involved. This would require fewer efforts as they themselves would understand its importance post its success.<br />
<br />
= Strategy #4: Ways to Increase Funding for Students =<br />
<br />
== <u>Central Problem</u> ==<br />
<br />
Though the increase and providing funds lies in the hand of the highest levels of management , still we found the following issues.<br />
<br />
*There is no proper channel for the students to follow and gain funds from the concerned authorities.<br />
*Students end up in acquring the wrong notions about funding.<br />
*&nbsp;Lack of motivation from the supporting staff and teachers end up in the project being regarded as a failed idea.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== <u>Walk through the most effective channel</u><br/> ==<br />
<br />
*&nbsp; &nbsp; Redefining the most effective channel to be followed so that the students don't end up in dimissing their ideas.<br />
*&nbsp; &nbsp; Indulging the faculties and other teachers to support the student and guide them to success.<br />
*&nbsp; &nbsp; Providing the management with working prototypes so that they have a clearer idea about the upcoming project.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==== Expected time of Completion&nbsp;: Mid May 2017<br/> ====<br />
<br />
*<br />
A &nbsp;managerial body would look into the idea soon and confirm the formation of the club or panel for felicitating the Head Of Departments(HOD's).<br />
<br />
*The CEO has shown positive thoughts to impelemt the idea and so with regular updates , the idea would be soon implemented<br />
<br />
== <u>Other Smaller initiatives</u> ==<br />
<br />
*Increase funding through goverment bodies like MSME and SIDBI.<br />
*Organize fund raisers for personal funding .<br />
*Form a platform where stuffs discarded by one person can be used as a raw material for other's need.<br />
*Allocate annual budget for funding extraordinary ideas.<br />

<div>Khyati Agarwal is an undergraduate student studying'''computer science engineering(CSE) '''at'''Galgotias College of Engineering and Technology(GCET)''', currently a university innovation fellows candidate and a firm[[File:Khyaticopy1.png|thumb]] believer in the importance of human&nbsp;resources.She is presently in third year of her college.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Studying computer science was not exactly what she had wanted to do, and there lack of proper practical education and a direction in students of her college. No doubt there are few people who can change your mindset and life, and &nbsp;she gives this credit to her mother, maternal uncle and unknowingly Ramesh Raskar(a researcher) who helped her start firmly again.She joined the '''Creative team '''of her college,'''technical team '''of her department '''(Extreme)'''and now loves being an active member of them, learning various photoshop effects and to code. Apart from that she is constantly studying to realize her dream of becoming a researcher. Well apart from this side of her, she has always loved music and constantly sings at various college events via music club and is currently involved in the decorations of the upcoming college fest.<br />
<br />
Her journey in college made her realize that there are more people like her. She realized that the infrastructure provided and the education imparted to the students is not enough in providing a sound direction to the students and shaping their path, moreover in realizing their teams.India produces second largest number of engineers every year (after China). Yet only one-sixth of a fraction are worth looking for. This is a daunting sight. Everyone has a dream and surely everyone deserves to be happy. They should have an infrastructure and a support system that helps them decide what they want to do since the first day of their college to bring it to realtiy. She wants to provide a means to them for searching this happiness of theirs by creating a strong college environment.<br />

= Strategy #2: Getting Proper Help to Students to Innitiate Innovation =<br />
<div>Imagine an idea comes into your mind and even before you think more about it, another thought comes into your mind telling you to forget about it, saying there are way too constraints to proceed it further. Students face similar situation in our college and the result is most ideas are killed even before they are born.</div><div><br/></div><br />
== Attendance issue with the students ==<br />
<div><br/></div><div>Apart from awareness problem we realized innovating young minds have to compromise a lot with their attendance in order to bloom their flower of idea, have to arrange for their resources (which is way too much than the actual time it should take), and mostly end up coming back to where they were initially, this time swearing not to think again in this direction, instead focussing in the academia in college (lack of failure accepting mindset at a very initial stage in innovation).</div><div><br/></div><div>So working in this direction, we thought of addressing the attendance problem of the students where-</div><div><br/></div><br />
*students would be provided with the attendance while working in any of their idea in the labs during week days<br />
*would be allowed to work over their innovation during weekends in labs<br />
*students from all branches would have access to these labs<br />
<br />
<br />
<div>Addressing attendance issue helps the students by providing time in the college. This is a very basic step addressing the problem of the few students that have ideas that need to be prototyped or experimented. Apart from that innovation can be initiated in college by making students realize its importance -</div><br />
<br />
== Video Lectures and discussions on them&nbsp; ==<br />
<div>Under this category among the existent lectures of college we wish to propose a lecture or two where multiple topics would be addressed weekly-&nbsp;</div><div><br/></div><br />
*innovation in which students are shown videos which inspires and motivates them to think out of the box. Have a failure accepting mindset and be strategic while proceeding in this direction.<br />
*video lectures of courses demanded in industry which tells student pre-requisites of industry and helps students choose their actual area of interest.<br />
<div>&nbsp;</div><br />
= Strategy #3: Increasing Support to Increase Generation of Ideas =<br />
<br />
= Strategy #4: Ways to Increase Funding for Students =<br />
<br />
== <u>Central Problem</u> ==<br />
<br />
Though the increase and providing funds lies in the hand of the highest levels of management , still we found the following issues.<br />
<br />
*There is no proper channel for the students to follow and gain funds from the concerned authorities.<br />
*Students end up in acquring the wrong notions about funding.<br />
*&nbsp;Lack of motivation from the supporting staff and teachers end up in the project being regarded as a failed idea.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== <u>Walk through the most effective channel</u><br/> ==<br />
<br />
*&nbsp; &nbsp; Redefining the most effective channel to be followed so that the students don't end up in dimissing their ideas.<br />
*&nbsp; &nbsp; Indulging the faculties and other teachers to support the student and guide them to success.<br />
*&nbsp; &nbsp; Providing the management with working prototypes so that they have a clearer idea about the upcoming project.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== <u>Other Smaller initiatives</u> ==<br />
<br />
*Increase funding through goverment bodies like MSME and SIDBI.<br />
*Organize fund raisers for personal funding .<br />
*Form a platform where stuffs discarded by one person can be used as a raw material for other's need.<br />
*Allocate annual budget for funding extraordinary ideas.<br />

<div>Khyati Agarwal is an undergraduate student studying'''computer science engineering(CSE) '''at'''Galgotias College of Engineering and Technology(GCET)''', currently a university innovation fellows candidate and a firm[[File:Khyaticopy1.png|thumb]] believer in the importance of human&nbsp;resources.She is presently in third year of her college.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Studying computer science was not something she had wanted in her life, and, adding to this discouragement was the lack of proper practical education and a direction in students of her college. However as there are few people in your life who are enough in changing it, she gives this credit to her mother, maternal uncle and unknowingly Ramesh Raskar(a researcher) and she realized that she could love this as well. So gearing up, she joined the '''Creative team '''of her college,'''technical team '''of her department '''(Extreme)'''and now loves being an active member of them, learning various photoshop effects and to code. Apart from that she is constantly studying to realize her dream of becoming a researcher. Well apart from this side of her, she has always loved music and constantly sings at various college events via music club and is currently involved in the decorations of the upcoming college fest.<br />
<br />
Her journey in college made her realize that there are more people like her. She realized that the infrastructure provided and the education imparted to the students is not enough in providing a sound direction to the students and shaping their path, moreover in realizing their teams.India produces second largest number of engineers every year (after China). Yet only one-sixth of a fraction are worth looking for. This is a daunting sight. Everyone has a dream and surely everyone deserves to be happy. They should have an infrastructure and a support system that helps them decide what they want to do since the first day of their college to bring it to realtiy. She wants to provide a means to them for searching this happiness of theirs by creating a strong college environment.<br />

However as there are few people in your life who are enough in changing it, she gives this credit to her mother, maternal uncle and unknowingly Ramesh Raskar(a researcher) and she realized that she could love this as well. So gearing up, she joined the '''Creative team '''of her college,'''technical team '''of her department '''(Extreme)'''and now loves being an active member of them, learning various photoshop effects and to code. Apart from that she is constantly studying to realize her dream of becoming a researcher. Well apart from this side of her, she has always loved music and constantly sings at various college events via music club and is currently involved in the decorations of the upcoming college fest.<br />
<br />
Her journey in college made her realize that there are more people like her. She realized that the infrastructure provided and the education imparted to the students is not enough in providing a sound direction to the students and shaping their path, moreover in realizing their teams.India produces second largest number of engineers every year (after China). Yet only one-sixth of a fraction are worth looking for. This is a daunting sight. Everyone has a dream and surely everyone deserves to be happy. They should have an infrastructure and a support system that helps them decide what they want to do since the first day of their college to bring it to realtiy. She wants to provide a means to them for searching this happiness of theirs by creating a strong college environment.<br />

<div>Our interviewee,&nbsp;[http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Isaac_Griswold-Steiner <b>Isaac Griswold-Steiner</b>], is a changemaker whose passion for software development and leadership qualities, has allowed him to become President of Texas Tech's Software Development Club (SDC) and land internships at innovative technical companies such as Microsoft and National Instruments. With his advice, we are able to give you advice on how to teach students to build good software as a team.<br />
<br />
== '''INTRODUCTION''' ==<br />
<br />
Isaac is a software developer currently studying in Texas Tech, who learnt to code and found an interest in I&E while working for his startup in India. Although his startup eventually failed, he learned a lot about '''team designing''','''management''' and '''organizing '''that help him till date. His software experience includes '''machine learning''', '''data science''', and working with '''Linux kernel'''.<br />
<br />
== '''NEED AND GOAL''' ==<br />
<br />
As President of Texas Tech's SDC, there aretwo main goals that Isaac focuses on:<br />
<br />
#Making students more appealing to companies by working on projects outside of class<br />
#Preparing students for the kinds of interviews they will face at big technology driven companies<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
While studying at Texas Tech, Isaac realized the education im<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">parted to the students was not a representation of what is actually demanded in the industries. For instance, the very basis for software developing lies in source control which was </span>taught as a part of syllabus during late years of education in college. Thus there is a difficulty in meeting the industrial standards, students aren't prepared and lack the skills required in an industry. Hence, with an aim to meet the industrial standards, he joined the existing Software Development Club of college. Different strategies like open ended contributions, structured layout for different teams in the club are applied with the ultimate aim of growing the passion of the students, create a student population which tries to seek information rather than stay contented with the redundant information fed to them in classes, and ultimately learns.<br />
<br />
== '''TOPIC''' ==<br />
<br />
Isaac's club is divided into four (4) groups: Introduction to Python, Web App development, iOS development, and Machine Learning. If a club member is new to the Computer Science world, it is recommended that he or she start by joining the Introduction to Python course, and then work their way up to various groups.<br />
<br />
The club's most used programiming languages are C, C++, Java, JavaScript, and Python. However, when teaching students how to build good software as a team, it is important to '''NOT'''&nbsp;only focus on the programming languages that students should know, but to also focus on architected software. Without having a way to properly structure code, a lot of businesses tend to fail. This is can be compared to having architecture for a building...it is a necessity!<br />
<br />
Even with keeping these things in mind, the club tries to implement innovation, people pitch in their ideas in the beginning, or while brain storming, innovation or design thinking work is looked upon.This is something which their team is learning to focus on more.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
== '''ACADEMIC PERMISSION''' ==<br />
<br />
When it comes from permission from your school to start a club or a team it really depends on the campus. Often school are very flexible and supportive of new groups on campus, specially with technology based groups. Every school will have a standard process to be recognized by the school. This can be a beneficial tool that can open up funding and spaces for your group both of which are needed when building solfware as a team. If your club isn't recognized or you feel that it would be better to not be run through the school, that's fine! Often change needs to happen outside of the campus administation and the need for a software building group may arise. However, if you do go through the normal channels make sure you get a good sponsor for your group, one that would provide the members with an understanding of what you're hoping to accomplish.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
== '''SUPPORT''' ==<br />
<br />
Isaac found that his support system was from his peers at Texas Tech, who kept him motivated to continue the club's legacy by being President. Although he had a strong support system, he began to see the SDC's retention rate decrease, and is now working to increase this rate for the future. There are two methods in which one can approach programming:<br />
<br />
*Waterfall method - All planning happens upfront with minimal development&nbsp;<br />
*Agile method - Development first, and plan as little as possible<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
He was able to identify that some of the club members became frustrated when the utilization of the waterfall method became utilized in their development teams' projects. In addition, it is important to add more social events for the club to have instead of being fully dedicated to their projects (development life and social life balance). '''Studying DOES NOT = being social!!!!'''<br />
<br />
== '''COST'''<br/> ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:small;">Often the cost of running a solfware building group is'''only a couple boxes of pizza''', because often college students won't go anywhere without food. This is only if everyone has a computer, often schools will have computer labs for people to use. However, if given real funding groups can invest their money into hardware to test out the software and intisce other student to join. However the cost to start and maintain a software building group is relativly cheap if everyone has access to a computer. Providing for some of the basic cost that may arise can come from making members pay low dues in doing so also making members committment to the group stronger.</span><br />
<br />
== '''LEADERSHIP''' ==<br />
<br />
When building a successful, collaborative organization, Isaac states that leaders must foster&nbsp;'''curious''', '''failure accepting ideologies'''. He continuously enforces the idea that students have a duty to teach themselves using what's available online. Successful students must also engage in projects outside the classroom as long gone are the days where extracurricular activities are ranked less than classroom work. Students must also be willing to fail gracefully. Our current educational infrastructure pigeon holes students into believing that there is nothing worse than failure when that could not be less true. Failure leads to learning and personal growth which are imperative at keeping an organization fresh and growing.<br />
<br />
To ensure the SDC runs succesfully, Isaac jokingly admits that it avoids true democracy. Instead, the leaders of the organization make sure that those who deserve promotion recieve it. This prevents the election of leaders who, while passionate about the SDC, lack the qualities needed to advance it. This idea is, however, dependent on the group containing good leaders. This is currently an issue with the SDC, forcing it to merge with another on-campus group. To remedy this, Isaac suggests exposing members to leadership on small scales and observing which students naturally step up.<br />
<br />
== '''FACULTY''' ==<br />
<br />
Isaac has often faced resistance from faculty, ranging from a lack of support for the Software Development Club to outright refusal to impliment his ideas. He mentions that some faculty are more vehement in their opposition than others, and that while some professors are supportive, they are in the minority. Yet, he does not consider this as the actual resistance and considers it to be overcomed easily with a supportive and a hardworking team. What he considers as the actual resistance to learning is the provocation of the wrong ideas regarding computer science which can be misguiding. According to professors a &nbsp;tester in Software Development field is considered to be a bad engineer which is not at all true, since he might be perfectly happy commenting on the architecture of large systems instead of writing large chunks of code.<br />
<br />
== '''AUDIENCE''' ==<br />
<br />
Texas Tech's Software Development Club is for EVERYONE who is a Texas Tech student. As mentioned in the Topic section, there are four separate project groups that a club member can join. It is recommended that everyone starts in a lower-level group such as "Intro to Python", and then progress to other projects in more advanced groups.<br />
<br />
'''Motto: Low --> High'''<br />
<br />
Using a tool, [https://www.hackerrank.com/ HackerRank], future/current software developers can be able to test their data structure and algorithmic skills. If club members have no idea what to do, they are provided support and instructed to download the proper tools and IDEs (Integrated Development Environments).<br />
<br />
== '''TIMELINE&nbsp;''' ==<br />
<br />
A typical club meeting starts by discussing announcements, encouraging students to attend and get involved with more technical events such as '''hackathons''', and there is open discussion. Directly after, club members start dedicating their time to their projects.<br />
<br />
== '''LAUNCH''' ==<br />
<div>Students who were involved in the SDC saw benefits if they worked for it. Some students who participated in hackathons got to showcase their projects in front of the club and others who nailed internships with large firms went around to classrooms to speak with students about the opportunity the the SDC provides. If a student wants to launch their own technology venture, Isaac makes sure to push them towards doing their due diligence on the market followed by Agile development practices.</div><div><br/></div><br />

<div>Khyati Agarwal is an undergraduate student studying'''computer science engineering(CSE) '''at'''Galgotias College of Engineering and Technology(GCET)''', currently a university innovation fellows candidate and a firm[[File:Khyaticopy1.png|thumb]] believer in the importance of human&nbsp;resources.She is presently in third year of her college.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Studying computer science was not something she had wanted in her life, and, adding to this discouragement was the lack of proper practical education and a direction in students of her college. However as there are few people in your life who are enough in changing it, she gives this credit to her mother, maternal uncle and unknowingly Ramesh Raskar(a researcher) and she realized that she could love this as well. So gearing up, she joined the '''Creative team '''of her college,'''technical team '''of her department '''(Extreme)'''and now loves being an active member of them, learning various photoshop effects and to code. Apart from that she is constantly studying to realize her dream of becoming a researcher. Well apart from this side of her, she has always loved music and constantly sings at various college events via music club and is currently involved in the decorations of the upcoming college fest.<br />
<br />
Her journey in college made her realize that there are more people like her. She realized that the infrastructure provided and the education imparted to the students is not enough in providing a sound direction to the students and shaping their path, moreover in realizing their teams.India produces second largest number of engineers every year (after China). Yet only one-sixth of a fraction are worth looking for. This is a daunting sight. Everyone has a dream and surely everyone deserves to be happy. They should have an infrastructure and a support system that helps them decide what they want to do since the first day of their college to bring it to realtiy. She wants to provide a means to them for searching this happiness of theirs by creating a strong college environment.<br />

<div>Our interviewee,&nbsp;[http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Isaac_Griswold-Steiner '''Isaac Griswold-Steiner'''], is a changemaker whose passion for software development and leadership qualities, has allowed him to become President of Texas Tech's Software Development Club (SDC) and land internships at innovative technical companies such as Microsoft and National Instruments. With his advice, we are able to give you advice on how to teach students to build good software as a team.<br />
<br />
== '''INTRODUCTION''' ==<br />
<br />
Isaac is a software developer currently studying in Texas Tech, who learnt to code and found an interest in I&E while working for his startup in India. Although his startup eventually failed, he learned a lot about '''team designing''','''management''' and '''organizing '''that help him till date. His software experience includes '''machine learning''', '''data science''', and working with '''Linux kernel'''.<br />
<br />
== '''NEED AND GOAL''' ==<br />
<br />
As President of Texas Tech's SDC, there aretwo main goals that Isaac focuses on:<br />
<br />
#Making students more appealing to companies by working on projects outside of class<br />
#Preparing students for the kinds of interviews they will face at big technology driven companies<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
While studying at Texas Tech, Isaac realized the education im<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">parted to the students was not a representation of what is actually demanded in the industries. For instance, the very basis for software developing lies in source control which was </span>taught as a part of syllabus during late years of education in college. Thus there is a difficulty in meeting the industrial standards, students aren't prepared and lack the skills required in an industry. Hence, with an aim to meet the industrial standards, he joined the existing Software Development Club of college. Different strategies like open ended contributions, structured layout for different teams in the club are applied with the ultimate aim of growing the passion of the students, create a student population which tries to seek information rather than stay contented with the redundant information fed to them in classes, and ultimately learns.<br />
<br />
== '''TOPIC''' ==<br />
<br />
Isaac's club is divided into four (4) groups: Introduction to Python, Web App development, iOS development, and Machine Learning. If a club member is new to the Computer Science world, it is recommended that he or she start by joining the Introduction to Python course, and then work their way up to various groups.<br />
<br />
The club's most used programiming languages are C, C++, Java, JavaScript, and Python. However, when teaching students how to build good software as a team, it is important to '''NOT'''&nbsp;only focus on the programming languages that students should know, but to also focus on architected software. Without having a way to properly structure code, a lot of businesses tend to fail. This is can be compared to having architecture for a building...it is a necessity!<br />
<br />
Even with keeping these things in mind, the club tries to implement innovation, people pitch in their ideas in the beginning, or while brain storming, innovation or design thinking work is looked upon.This is something which their team is learning to focus on more.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
== '''ACADEMIC PERMISSION''' ==<br />
<br />
When it comes from permission from your school to start a club or a team it really depends on the campus. Often school are very flexible and supportive of new groups on campus, specially with technology based groups. Every school will have a standard process to be recognized by the school. This can be a beneficial tool that can open up funding and spaces for your group both of which are needed when building solfware as a team. If your club isn't recognized or you feel that it would be better to not be run through the school, that's fine! Often change needs to happen outside of the campus administation and the need for a software building group may arise. However, if you do go through the normal channels make sure you get a good sponsor for your group, one that would provide the members with an understanding of what you're hoping to accomplish.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
== '''SUPPORT''' ==<br />
<br />
Isaac found that his support system was from his peers at Texas Tech, who kept him motivated to continue the club's legacy by being President. Although he had a strong support system, he began to see the SDC's retention rate decrease, and is now working to increase this rate for the future. There are two methods in which one can approach programming:<br />
<br />
*Waterfall method - All planning happens upfront with minimal development&nbsp;<br />
*Agile method - Development first, and plan as little as possible<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
He was able to identify that some of the club members became frustrated when the utilization of the waterfall method became utilized in their development teams' projects. In addition, it is important to add more social events for the club to have instead of being fully dedicated to their projects (development life and social life balance). '''Studying DOES NOT = being social!!!!'''<br />
<br />
== '''COST'''<br/> ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:small;">Often the cost of running a solfware building group is'''only a couple boxes of pizza''', because often college students won't go anywhere without food. This is only if everyone has a computer, often schools will have computer labs for people to use. However, if given real funding groups can invest their money into hardware to test out the software and intisce other student to join. However the cost to start and maintain a software building group is relativly cheap if everyone has access to a computer. Providing for some of the basic cost that may arise can come from making members pay low dues in doing so also making members committment to the group stronger.</span><br />
<br />
== '''LEADERSHIP''' ==<br />
<br />
When building a successful, collaborative organization, Isaac states that leaders must foster&nbsp;'''curious''', '''failure accepting ideologies'''. He continuously enforces the idea that students have a duty to teach themselves using what's available online. Successful students must also engage in projects outside the classroom as long gone are the days where extracurricular activities are ranked less than classroom work. Students must also be willing to fail gracefully. Our current educational infrastructure pigeon holes students into believing that there is nothing worse than failure when that could not be less true. Failure leads to learning and personal growth which are imperative at keeping an organization fresh and growing.<br />
<br />
To ensure the SDC runs succesfully, Isaac jokingly admits that it avoids true democracy. Instead, the leaders of the organization make sure that those who deserve promotion recieve it. This prevents the election of leaders who, while passionate about the SDC, lack the qualities needed to advance it. This idea is, however, dependent on the group containing good leaders. This is currently an issue with the SDC, forcing it to merge with another on-campus group. To remedy this, Isaac suggests exposing members to leadership on small scales and observing which students naturally step up.<br />
<br />
== '''FACULTY''' ==<br />
<br />
Isaac has often faced resistance from faculty, ranging from a lack of support for the Software Development Club to outright refusal to impliment his ideas. He mentions that some faculty are more vehement in their opposition than others, and that while some professors are supportive, they are in the minority. Yet, he does not consider this as the actual resistance and considers it to be overcomed easily with a supportive and a hardworking team. What he considers as the actual resistance to learning is the provocation of the wrong ideas regarding computer science which can be misguiding. According to professors a &nbsp;tester in Software Development field is considered to be a bad engineer which is not at all true, since he might be perfectly happy commenting on the architecture of large systems instead of writing large chunks of code.<br />
<br />
== '''AUDIENCE''' ==<br />
<br />
Texas Tech's Software Development Club is for EVERYONE who is a Texas Tech student. As mentioned in the Topic section, there are four separate project groups that a club member can join. It is recommended that everyone starts in a lower-level group such as "Intro to Python", and then progress to other projects in more advanced groups.<br />
<br />
'''Motto: Low --> High'''<br />
<br />
Using a tool, [https://www.hackerrank.com/ HackerRank], future/current software developers can be able to test their data structure and algorithmic skills. If club members have no idea what to do, they are provided support and instructed to download the proper tools and IDEs (Integrated Development Environments).<br />
<br />
== '''TIMELINE&nbsp;''' ==<br />
<br />
A typical club meeting starts by discussing announcements, encouraging students to attend and get involved with more technical events such as '''hackathons''', and there is open discussion. Directly after, club members start dedicating their time to their projects.<br />
<br />
== '''LAUNCH''' ==<br />
<div>Students who were involved in the SDC saw benefits if they worked for it. Some students who participated in hackathons got to showcase their projects in front of the club and others who nailed internships with large firms went around to classrooms to speak with students about the opportunity the the SDC provides. If a student wants to launch their own technology venture, Isaac makes sure to push them towards doing their due diligence on the market followed by Agile development practices.</div><div><br/></div><br />

<div>Our interviewee,&nbsp;[http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Isaac_Griswold-Steiner '''Isaac Griswold-Steiner'''], is a changemaker whose passion for software development and leadership qualities, has allowed him to become President of Texas Tech's Software Development Club (SDC) and land internships at innovative technical companies such as Microsoft and National Instruments. With his advice, we are able to give you advice on how to teach students to build good software as a team.<br />
<br />
== '''INTRODUCTION''' ==<br />
<br />
Isaac is a software developer currently studying in Texas Tech, who learnt to code and found an interest in I&E while working for his startup in India. Although his startup eventually failed, he learned a lot about '''team designing''','''management''' and '''organizing '''that help him till date. His software experience includes '''machine learning''', '''data science''', and working with '''Linux kernel'''.<br />
<br />
== '''NEED AND GOAL''' ==<br />
<br />
As President of Texas Tech's SDC, there aretwo main goals that Isaac focuses on:<br />
<br />
#Making students more appealing to companies by working on projects outside of class<br />
#Preparing students for the kinds of interviews they will face at big technology driven companies<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
While studying at Texas Tech, Isaac realized the education im<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">parted to the students was not a representation of what is actually demanded in the industries. For instance, the very basis for software developing lies in source control which was </span>taught as a part of syllabus during late years of education in college. Thus there is a difficulty in meeting the industrial standards, students aren't prepared and lack the skills required in an industry. Hence, with an aim to meet the industrial standards, he joined the existing Software Development Club of college. Different strategies like open ended contributions, structured layout for different teams in the club are applied with the ultimate aim of growing the passion of the students, create a student population which tries to seek information rather than stay contented with the redundant information fed to them in classes, and ultimately learns.<br />
<br />
== '''TOPIC''' ==<br />
<br />
Isaac's club is divided into four (4) groups: Introduction to Python, Web App development, iOS development, and Machine Learning. If a club member is new to the Computer Science world, it is recommended that he or she start by joining the Introduction to Python course, and then work their way up to various groups.<br />
<br />
The club's most used programiming languages are C, C++, Java, JavaScript, and Python. However, when teaching students how to build good software as a team, it is important to '''NOT'''&nbsp;only focus on the programming languages that students should know, but to also focus on architected software. Without having a way to properly structure code, a lot of businesses tend to fail. This is can be compared to having architecture for a building...it is a necessity!<br />
<br />
Even with keeping these things in mind, the club tries to implement innovation, people pitch in their ideas in the beginning, or while brain storming, innovation or design thinking work is looked upon.This is something which their team is learning to focus on more.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
== '''ACADEMIC PERMISSION''' ==<br />
<br />
When it comes from permission from your school to start a club or a team it really depends on the campus. Often school are very flexible and supportive of new groups on campus, specially with technology based groups. Every school will have a standard process to be recognized by the school. This can be a beneficial tool that can open up funding and spaces for your group both of which are needed when building solfware as a team. If your club isn't recognized or you feel that it would be better to not be run through the school, that's fine! Often change needs to happen outside of the campus administation and the need for a software building group may arise. However, if you do go through the normal channels make sure you get a good sponsor for your group, one that would provide the members with an understanding of what you're hoping to accomplish.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
== '''SUPPORT''' ==<br />
<br />
Isaac found that his support system was from his peers at Texas Tech, who kept him motivated to continue the club's legacy by being President. Although he had a strong support system, he began to see the SDC's retention rate decrease, and is now working to increase this rate for the future. There are two methods in which one can approach programming:<br />
<br />
*Waterfall method - All planning happens upfront with minimal development&nbsp;<br />
*Agile method - Development first, and plan as little as possible<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
He was able to identify that some of the club members became frustrated when the utilization of the waterfall method became utilized in their development teams' projects. In addition, it is important to add more social events for the club to have instead of being fully dedicated to their projects (development life and social life balance). '''Studying DOES NOT = being social!!!!'''<br />
<br />
== '''COST'''<br/> ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:small;">Often the cost of running a solfware building group is only a couple boxes of pizza, because often college students won't go anywhere without food. This is only if everyone has a computer, often schools will have cumputer labs for people to use. However, if given real funding groups can invest their money into hardware to test out the software and intisce other student to join. However the cost to start and maintain a software building group is relativly cheap if everyone has access to a computer. Providing for some of the basic cost that may arise can come from making members pay low dues in doing so also making members committment to the group stronger.</span><br />
<br />
== '''LEADERSHIP''' ==<br />
<br />
When building a successful, collaborative organization, Isaac states that leaders must foster&nbsp;'''curious''', '''failure accepting ideologies'''. He continuously enforces the idea that students have a duty to teach themselves using what's available online. Successful students must also engage in projects outside the classroom as long gone are the days where extracurricular activities are ranked less than classroom work. Students must also be willing to fail gracefully. Our current educational infrastructure pigeon holes students into believing that there is nothing worse than failure when that could not be less true. Failure leads to learning and personal growth which are imperative at keeping an organization fresh and growing.<br />
<br />
To ensure the SDC runs succesfully, Isaac jokingly admits that it avoids true democracy. Instead, the leaders of the organization make sure that those who deserve promotion recieve it. This prevents the election of leaders who, while passionate about the SDC, lack the qualities needed to advance it. This idea is, however, dependent on the group containing good leaders. This is currently an issue with the SDC, forcing it to merge with another on-campus group. To remedy this, Isaac suggests exposing members to leadership on small scales and observing which students naturally step up.<br />
<br />
== '''FACULTY''' ==<br />
<br />
Isaac has often faced resistance from faculty, ranging from a lack of support for the Software Development Club to outright refusal to impliment his ideas. He mentions that some faculty are more vehement in their opposition than others, and that while some professors are supportive, they are in the minority.<br />
<br />
== '''AUDIENCE''' ==<br />
<br />
Texas Tech's Software Development Club is for EVERYONE who is a Texas Tech student. As mentioned in the Topic section, there are four separate project groups that a club member can join. It is recommended that everyone starts in a lower-level group such as "Intro to Python", and then progress to other projects in more advanced groups.<br />
<br />
'''Motto: Low --> High'''<br />
<br />
Using a tool, [https://www.hackerrank.com/ HackerRank], future/current software developers can be able to test their data structure and algorithmic skills. If club members have no idea what to do, they are provided support and instructed to download the proper tools and IDEs (Integrated Development Environments).<br />
<br />
== '''TIMELINE&nbsp;''' ==<br />
<br />
A typical club meeting starts by discussing announcements, encouraging students to attend and get involved with more technical events such as '''hackathons''', and there is open discussion. Directly after, club members start dedicating their time to their projects.<br />
<br />
== '''LAUNCH''' ==<br />
<div>Students who were involved in the SDC saw benefits if they worked for it. Some students who participated in hackathons got to showcase their projects in front of the club and others who nailed internships with large firms went around to classrooms to speak with students about the opportunity the the SDC provides. If a student wants to launch their own technology venture, Isaac makes sure to push them towards doing their due diligence on the market followed by Agile development practices.</div><div><br/></div><br />

<div>Khyati Agarwal is an undergraduate student studying'''computer science engineering(CSE) '''at'''Galgotias College of Engineering and Technology(GCET)''', currently a university innovation fellows candidate and a firm[[File:Khyaticopy1.png|thumb|Khyaticopy1.png]] believer in the importance of human&nbsp;resources.She is presently in third year of her college.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Studying computer science was not something she had wanted in her life, and, adding to this discouragement was the lack of proper practical education and a direction in students of her college. However as there are few people in your life who are enough in changing it, she gives this credit to her mother, maternal uncle and unknowingly Ramesh Raskar(a researcher) and she realized that she could love this as well. So gearing up, she joined the '''Creative team '''of her college,'''technical team '''of her department '''(Extreme)'''and now loves being an active member of them, learning various photoshop effects and to code. Apart from that she is constantly studying to realize her dream of becoming a researcher. Well apart from this side of her, she has always loved music and constantly sings at various college events via music club and is currently involved in the decorations of the upcoming college fest.<br />
<br />
Her journey in college made her realize that there are more people like her. She realized that the infrastructure provided and the education imparted to the students is not enough in providing a sound direction to the students and shaping their path, moreover in realizing their teams.India produces second largest number of engineers every year (after China). Yet only one-sixth of a fraction are worth looking for. This is a daunting sight. Everyone has a dream and surely everyone wants to stay happy. They should have an infrastructure and a support system that helps them decide what they want to do since the first day of their college to bring it to realtiy. She wants to provide a means to them for searching this happiness of theirs by creating a strong college environment.<br />
