Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is one of the most dense university regions in the United States. As a lasallian school, we understand the values of innovation and entrepreneurship. As students, we believe that the values of innovation and entrepreneurship should flow consistently, regardless of your major. La Salle believes that in today’s competitive economic environment, people with entrepreneurial spirits will not only succeed in their chosen careers but also will drive business creation, growth, and job opportunities for the larger business community.</span></span></span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">For the past few weeks, innovation fellow candidates interviewed multiple students to learn more about ways to increase innovation and entrepreneurship on campus. Using students perspectives as our guide, we have created strategies and tactics that we think will improve innovation and entrepreneurship on campus. Like any strategic plan, it requires careful planning and monitoring. In order for successful implementation of our strategies, we want students, faculty, and staff to continue building on the idea of innovation and entrepreneurship. If we work together, our vision will turn into reality and we will see a campus that supports innovation and entrepreneurship by incorporating our lasallian mission.</span></span></span><br />

= Strategy 1: Establishing Innovation & Entrepreneurship Across the Curriculum<br/> =<br />
<br />
== Tactic 1: Adding More Innovational & Entrepreneurial Courses into the Curriculum ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-7932ca1c-5cd5-79fe-57bd-851903dac034"><span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Students from the School of Business, Arts & Sciences and Nursing should be exposed to more courses that integrate the concept of innovation and entrepreneurship. Innovation applies not only to business students but to all. The real challenge is trying to merge the students academic focus into the concept of innovation and entrepreneurship. Students working towards a degree in business or science understand the importance of innovation and entrepreneurship.</span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: medium; background-color: transparent;">The plan of attack to tackle this issue is currently being investigated in the form of creating more courses that are interdisciplinary in their nature. A current example of this type of course being implemented at La Salle would be Life Science Innovation. This class is open to students of all majors, and currently contains students from The School of Business, The School of Arts and Sciences, as well as The School of Nursing.</span><br />
<br />
== Tactic 2: Courses on Design Thinking&nbsp; ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-7932ca1c-5cd5-79fe-57bd-851903dac034"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This course should be offered to all students and provide an experience that encourages collaboration and design thinking concepts. Students should seek benefit in the course regardless of his or her major.</span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
== Tactic 3: Seeking Faculty & Administration Support (Strategic Planning)&nbsp;<br/> ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">As students who seek the drive to push for innovation entrepreneurship on campus, we understand the need for support from faculty and administrators. As future fellows, we understand that in order for successful implementation of our tactics, administrators need to see our vision. Therefore, we will soon embark on a unique strategic five year plan that we as fellows will propose to faculty and administrators. This plan will not only include our vision in regards to innovation & entrepreneurship on campus, but also tactics that we think will harness a culture of sustainable creativity.</span></span><br />
<br />
= Strategy 2: Establishing Long-Term Relationship Between Engineering Programs at Neighboring Universities through the University Innovation Fellows at each University.<br/> =<br />
<br />
== Tactic 1: Promoting Connections Between Universities&nbsp; ==<br />
<br />
<font face="times new roman, times, serif" size="3"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Reaching out to neighboring universities with Engineering programs to attend events such as Open Minds, Hackathons, and Innovation Challenges to establish connections with La Salle University to assist the school in expanding our Innovation and Entrepreneurship environment.</span></font><br />
<br />
== Tactic 2: Creating Networking Groups&nbsp;<br/> ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">For like minded people, these networking groups would allow for people to exchange those ideas, and also gives that person a chance to see who else had the same idea or something similar and then if things lead from one to another, those students can form a group on campus and have the help of that certain professor (with some familiarity with engineering) who has more information on going about that idea help and push for that idea to come alive.</span></span><br />
<br />
== Tactic 3: Refining the Ideas through Communication&nbsp; ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-7932ca1c-5cd5-79fe-57bd-851903dac034"><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">With whatever idea you have, having connections to faculty and other students after the creation of your idea is what makes your connection between engineering and business stronger.</span></span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">Having an open mind with who you know can allow your idea to grow and your innovative mind to expand as well.</span></span><br />
<br />
= Strategy 3: Enhancing the Visuals of what Innovation & Entrepreneurialism Are&nbsp; =<br />
<br />
== Tactic 1: Creating Organizations that Promote Innovative Thinking&nbsp; ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); white-space: pre-wrap;">Creating student organizations that not only teach and inspire innovation but give students the chance to take the wheel with projects that will give them hands-on experience dealing with real life problems and allow them to solve them. &nbsp;(This includes: creating small business ideas and taking the steps to create them, and identifying problems within the world and creating think tanks to attempt to solve them)</span></span></span><br />
<br />
== Tactic 2: Competitions that Provide Incentives for Creative Idea Making &nbsp;Organizations that Promote Innovative Thinking&nbsp; ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-7932ca1c-5ce3-b51c-e5f6-552085723879"><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Challenges built to have students compete with each other for prizes based on varying concepts from which they will develop ideas and attempt to create them and promote them. La Salle University currently holds an Open Minds Competition annually, as well as regular Innovation Challenges. The main focus would be to increase participation among the students in all majors and acquire additional faculty participation as well as an increased amount of monetary support.</span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
== Tactic 3: Changing Curriculum and Course Material &nbsp; ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-7932ca1c-5ce3-b51c-e5f6-552085723879"><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Changing some of the course material in class to help promote innovation is key. To accomplish this, faculty that are interested in Innovation and Entrepreneurship needs to be exposed to the concept of Design Thinking so they can implement course material that will utilize this method of problem-solving. In addition, faculty should encourage students to use the Makers Space that was built in the library, and should anticipate using the Innovation Lab in the new Buisness School building. Through the use of these spaces, students will organically acquire a desire to continue using skills such as Design Thinking in the future, in turn making the student body more interested and curious in innovation.</span></span></span></span><br />

<div>Terry Li is a University Innovation Fellow at La Salle University, working to educate and foster Innovation and Entrepreneurship across all Schools and Departments within La Salle University. He is currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Integrated Science, Business, and Technology with a concentration in Biotechnology. In the short time that he has been at La Salle, he became the Vice President of La Salle University's Saint Katherine Residence Hall's Residential Student Association, made major contributions to two La Salle University's Enactus projects, and working closely with senior administrative members to implement new ways to foster a stronger, more active, and better connected community at La Salle University.<br />
<br />
[[File:2015-01-23 16.13.11.jpg|thumb|2015-01-23 16.13.11.jpg]]Growing up, Terry learned and experienced firsthand all of the various aspects of running small businesses thanks to the various restaurants and buffets that his parent and immediate relatives owned and operated. He was encouraged at a young age to not only learn how each business operated but was given more and more responsibilities in both business management and business operation of each restaurant/buffet he was at. He has combined this depth of business experience and knowledge with his insatiable love for new technology to imagined new businesses/industries built around new technology that could better the lives of humanity around the world. Through his unique business knowledge and experience as well as his ability to identify the real-world value of new technologies, Terry is currently involved in a highly experimental course developed by La Salle University ISBT Department in conjunction with the Wistar Institute in Philadelphia. His team and he are a task with the goal of identifying and the development of the commercialization potentials of the basic research in the field of proteomics that is conducted by Wistar Institute.<br />

<div>= [[File:La Salle Logo .jpg]]University Overview&nbsp; =<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-fcbb5bd2-5608-ff21-65a9-e93f598f096d"><span style="font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">La Salle University is a Catholic university in the tradition of the Brothers of the Christian Schools. To a diverse community of learners, La Salle University offers a rigorous curriculum and co-curricular experiences designed to help students gain theoretical and practical knowledge, deepen their ethical sensibilities, and prepare for a lifetime of continuous learning, professional success, and dedicated service.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">As a Catholic university rooted in the liberal arts tradition, La Salle challenges students to contemplate life’s ultimate questions as they develop their faith, engage in a free search for truth, and explore their full human potential. As a Lasallian university, named for St. John Baptist de La Salle, patron saint of teachers, La Salle promotes excellence in teaching and scholarship, demonstrates respect for each person, nurtures mentoring relationships, and encourages authentic community.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">As an urban university, La Salle invites students to enhance their academic experience by immersing themselves in the rich resources of Philadelphia and the region. All members of our community are called to maintain a heightened sensitivity to those marginalized within society as they practice civic engagement, provide leadership with a global perspective, and contribute to the common good</span><br />
<br />
== St. John Baptist de La Salle&nbsp; ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">De La Salle is our patron saint and &nbsp;is the founder of a congregation of laymen whose sole ministry is education. &nbsp;He was proclaimed a saint in the Catholic Church in 1900 and named the patron of teachers in 1950. &nbsp;He was raised in Reims, France, a son of a privileged family who gave up his wealth and status to live with the poor. &nbsp;During his life, he established a network of gratuitous schools for poor boys. &nbsp;His writings have influenced educational practice, school management, and teacher preparation for more than 300 years.</span><br />
<br />
== University History&nbsp;<br/> ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Founded in 1863 in the Lower Kensington section of Philadelphia, the University is the largest and second oldest Lasallian college or university in the United States. &nbsp;At the time of its opening, it was Philadelphia’s only Catholic college. The college was initially established to serve the sons of immigrant populations in a religiously divided city, providing them with a quality education that helped them to assimilate into American society. &nbsp;The University has conferred more than 60,000 degrees. &nbsp;La Salle became fully co-educational in 1970 and achieved university status in 1984. &nbsp;It remains fully committed to the city and region with extensive community service and service learning initiatives.</span><br />
<br />
= Student Innovation & Entrepreneurship&nbsp; =<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">La Salle University is a strong supporter of innovation and entrepreneurship. La Salle embodies the spirit of entrepreneurship by embodying the spirit on campus and in the La Salle Center of Entrepreneurship. La Salle believes that in today’s competitive economic environment, people with entrepreneurial spirits will not only succeed in their chosen careers but also will drive business creation, growth, and job opportunities for the larger business community.</span><br />
<br />
== Center of Entrepreneurship (LCE) ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">If you’re an aspiring entrepreneur, you can find the support and inspiration you need through the La Salle Center for Entrepreneurship (LCE). Through mentoring, networking, and experiential learning, you’ll discover how to flex your innovative muscles, build leadership skills, explore the business landscape, and take measured risks to achieve your dreams. In addition, alumni and faculty will give back through mentoring as well as pursue their own entrepreneurial goals.</span><br />
<br />
== Open Minds Program&nbsp; ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-fcbb5bd2-5608-ff21-65a9-e93f598f096d"><span style="font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Open Minds program is a 3-Day competition/ Startup opportunity for students to use and develop their innovation and entrepreneurship skills while generating ideas based on the concept of sustainability. The Open Minds Innovation Competition will be available to all students at La Salle University. This competition will yield individual cash prizes, paid internships, and winning teams will be sent to the NCIIA Open conference in Washington DC in March 2015 in addition to receiving a monetary as a group. The competition will begin in February 2015.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
== La Salle Enactus&nbsp; ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-fcbb5bd2-5608-ff21-65a9-e93f598f096d"><span style="font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Enactus is an international organization that connects student, academic and business leaders through entrepreneurial-based projects that empower people to transform opportunities into real, sustainable progress for themselves and their communities. La Salle Enactus is the premier student entrepreneurship group on campus. La Salle Enactus has lead the idea of entrepreneurship for over 15 years. In 2014, La Salle Enactus ranked Top 40 in the United States.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-fcbb5bd2-5608-ff21-65a9-e93f598f096d"><span style="font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Guided by academic advisors and business experts, the student leaders of Enactus create and implement community empowerment projects around the globe. The experience not only transforms lives, it helps students develop the kind of talent and perspective that are essential to leadership in an ever-more complicated and challenging world.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
== Integrated Science, Business and Technology (ISBT) Program ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Students in the Integrated Science, Business, and Technology (ISBT) Department study the process of innovation. &nbsp;Based on a sound framework of organizational dynamics, ISBT majors learn how new scientific discoveries develop into marketable products and services through collaborative business practices.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">Large and small organizations rely on the process of research and development for the development of new products, the creation of new jobs and facilities, the increase of operational efficiency, and the reduction of waste. Traditional majors in the natural sciences, engineering, and business become experts in each of these separate disciplines. ISBT majors, however, become interdisciplinary leaders, having expert knowledge of how the natural sciences, engineering, and business divisions work together to define and solve complex problems.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">ISBT majors share a common experience the first two years with courses that focus on the foundational concepts of physics, chemistry, computer science, mathematics, and the life sciences as well as the organizational concepts of collaboration, project management, business analysis, and system dynamics. They then concentrate in one or both critical sectors of Biotechnology (BIO) or Energy and Natural Resources (ENR) that culminates in a senior thesis capstone experience.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">ISBT majors use the computer throughout their studies as a tool to gather, present, and analyze data. They work in teams, in class, in the laboratory, and outside of class. &nbsp;Their professors encourage and support them in the pursuit internship and co-op opportunities.</span><span style="font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">When they graduate, they secure positions in industry, government, and nonprofit organizations where they are recognized as analysts, problem solvers, decision-makers, and leaders.</span><br />
<br />
== Minor in Entrepreneurship&nbsp; ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Obtaining a minor in entrepreneurship at La Salle helps students identify and exercise their latent entrepreneurial spirit. This minor differs from most other minors and majors in that the primary goal is not merely the acquisition of knowledge and the primary form of instruction is not lecture-based. Instead, the minor provides students with an opportunity to develop skills such as creative thinking, opportunity identification, problem solving, communication, comprehensive business planning and task execution, leadership, and collaboration.</span><br />
<br />
= Faculty Innovation & Entrepreneurship&nbsp;<br/> =<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The La Salle Center for Entrepreneurship (LCE) also provides support and engagement opportunities for alumni and faculty.</span><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Center for Entrepreneurship has tailored programs that meets today business development needs.

</ul><br />
<br />
= The Lasallian Difference & Academic Curriculum&nbsp; =<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Lasallian difference is personal. When you become a La Salle student, you join a community that includes teachers, scholars, and mentors who truly care about you, &nbsp;your academic and professional success, your intellectual and spiritual growth, and your potential to make a difference in the world. La Salle is one of six colleges or universities in the United States founded in the tradition of St. John Baptist de La Salle, the patron saint of teachers and founder of the Christian Brothers. At La Salle, you gain the skills and knowledge you need to succeed after you leave campus, and the values and traditions that will stay with you when you do.</span><br />
<br />
== Academic Mission (School of Business)&nbsp; ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-fcbb5bd2-5612-491a-2c09-8938ab522dde"><span style="font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">La Salle University’s School of Business offers educational programs that prepare students for a purposeful life by integrating Lasallian values with current business management skills. Through its faculty, curriculum, extracurricular activities, and relationships with the greater Philadelphia and national business communities, it provides a value-centered educational community as the locus for its educational programs. Within this context, the School of Business seeks to provide an appropriate blend of contemporary business theory and real-world practice, placing paramount importance on teaching and on learning enriched by scholarly research and professional activity.</span></span></span><br />
<br />

The liberal arts and science studies and business foundation courses tend to be concentrated in the first two years, and the professional studies in the last two years</span></span></span><br />
<br />
== Academic Mission (School of Arts & Sciences)&nbsp; ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif;"><span style="font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">La Salle University’s School of Arts and Sciences offers general or liberal arts programs &nbsp;in science and mathematics. Within these two areas the student may further specialize in a major field of study.

<br />
<span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-fcbb5bd2-5608-ff21-65a9-e93f598f096d"><span style="font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">La Salle University is a Catholic university in the tradition of the Brothers of the Christian Schools. To a diverse community of learners, La Salle University offers a rigorous curriculum and co-curricular experiences designed to help students gain theoretical and practical knowledge, deepen their ethical sensibilities, and prepare for a lifetime of continuous learning, professional success, and dedicated service.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">As a Catholic university rooted in the liberal arts tradition, La Salle challenges students to contemplate life’s ultimate questions as they develop their faith, engage in a free search for truth, and explore their full human potential. As a Lasallian university, named for St. John Baptist de La Salle, patron saint of teachers, La Salle promotes excellence in teaching and scholarship, demonstrates respect for each person, nurtures mentoring relationships, and encourages authentic community.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">As an urban university, La Salle invites students to enhance their academic experience by immersing themselves in the rich resources of Philadelphia and the region. All members of our community are called to maintain a heightened sensitivity to those marginalized within society as they practice civic engagement, provide leadership with a global perspective, and contribute to the common good</span><br />
<br />
== St. John Baptist de La Salle&nbsp; ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">De La Salle is our patron saint and &nbsp;is the founder of a congregation of laymen whose sole ministry is education. &nbsp;He was proclaimed a saint in the Catholic Church in 1900 and named the patron of teachers in 1950. &nbsp;He was raised in Reims, France, a son of a privileged family who gave up his wealth and status to live with the poor. &nbsp;During his life, he established a network of gratuitous schools for poor boys. &nbsp;His writings have influenced educational practice, school management, and teacher preparation for more than 300 years.</span><br />
<br />
== University History&nbsp;<br/> ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Founded in 1863 in the Lower Kensington section of Philadelphia, the University is the largest and second oldest Lasallian college or university in the United States. &nbsp;At the time of its opening, it was Philadelphia’s only Catholic college. The college was initially established to serve the sons of immigrant populations in a religiously divided city, providing them with a quality education that helped them to assimilate into American society. &nbsp;The University has conferred more than 60,000 degrees. &nbsp;La Salle became fully co-educational in 1970 and achieved university status in 1984. &nbsp;It remains fully committed to the city and region with extensive community service and service learning initiatives.</span><br />
<br />
= Student Innovation & Entrepreneurship&nbsp; =<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">La Salle University is a strong supporter of innovation and entrepreneurship.

La Salle believes that in today’s competitive economic environment, people with entrepreneurial spirits will not only succeed in their chosen careers but also will drive business creation, growth, and job opportunities for the larger business community.</span><br />
<br />
== Center of Entrepreneurship (LCE) ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">If you’re an aspiring entrepreneur, you can find the support and inspiration you need through the La Salle Center for Entrepreneurship (LCE).

In addition, alumni and faculty will give back through mentoring as well as pursue their own entrepreneurial goals.</span><br />
<br />
== Open Minds Program&nbsp; ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-fcbb5bd2-5608-ff21-65a9-e93f598f096d"><span style="font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Open Minds program is a 3-Day competition/ Startup opportunity for students to use and develop their innovation and entrepreneurship skills while generating ideas based on the concept of sustainability.

<br />
== La Salle Enactus&nbsp; ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-fcbb5bd2-5608-ff21-65a9-e93f598f096d"><span style="font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Enactus is an international organization that connects student, academic and business leaders through entrepreneurial-based projects that empower people to transform opportunities into real, sustainable progress for themselves and their communities. La Salle Enactus is the premier student entrepreneurship group on campus. La Salle Enactus has lead the idea of entrepreneurship for over 15 years.

The experience not only transforms lives, it helps students develop the kind of talent and perspective that are essential to leadership in an ever-more complicated and challenging world.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
== Integrated Science, Business and Technology (ISBT) Program ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Students in the Integrated Science, Business, and Technology (ISBT) Department study the process of innovation. &nbsp;Based on a sound framework of organizational dynamics, ISBT majors learn how new scientific discoveries develop into marketable products and services through collaborative business practices.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">Large and small organizations rely on the process of research and development for the development of new products, the creation of new jobs and facilities, the increase of operational efficiency, and the reduction of waste. Traditional majors in the natural sciences, engineering, and business become experts in each of these separate disciplines. ISBT majors, however, become interdisciplinary leaders, having expert knowledge of how the natural sciences, engineering, and business divisions work together to define and solve complex problems.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">ISBT majors share a common experience the first two years with courses that focus on the foundational concepts of physics, chemistry, computer science, mathematics, and the life sciences as well as the organizational concepts of collaboration, project management, business analysis, and system dynamics. They then concentrate in one or both critical sectors of Biotechnology (BIO) or Energy and Natural Resources (ENR) that culminates in a senior thesis capstone experience.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">ISBT majors use the computer throughout their studies as a tool to gather, present, and analyze data. They work in teams, in class, in the laboratory, and outside of class. &nbsp;Their professors encourage and support them in the pursuit internship and co-op opportunities.</span><span style="font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">When they graduate, they secure positions in industry, government, and nonprofit organizations where they are recognized as analysts, problem solvers, decision-makers, and leaders.</span><br />
<br />
== Minor in Entrepreneurship&nbsp; ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Obtaining a minor in entrepreneurship at La Salle helps students identify and exercise their latent entrepreneurial spirit. This minor differs from most other minors and majors in that the primary goal is not merely the acquisition of knowledge and the primary form of instruction is not lecture-based. Instead, the minor provides students with an opportunity to develop skills such as creative thinking, opportunity identification, problem solving, communication, comprehensive business planning and task execution, leadership, and collaboration.</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The La Salle Center for Entrepreneurship (LCE) also provides support and engagement opportunities for alumni and faculty.</span><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Center for Entrepreneurship has tailored programs that meets today business development needs.

<br />
<span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-fcbb5bd2-5612-491a-2c09-8938ab522dde"><span style="font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Nursing is an art, science, and practice profession which provides nursing services to diverse individuals and groups.

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-7932ca1c-5cd5-79fe-57bd-851903dac034"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">La Salle University is located in an innovation and entrepreneurial hotbed. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is one of the most dense university regions in the United States. As a lasallian school, we understand the values of innovation and entrepreneurship. As students, we believe that the values of innovation and entrepreneurship should flow consistently, regardless of your major. La Salle believes that in today’s competitive economic environment, people with entrepreneurial spirits will not only succeed in their chosen careers but also will drive business creation, growth, and job opportunities for the larger business community.</span></span></span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">For the past few weeks, innovation fellow candidates interviewed multiple students to learn more about ways to increase innovation and entrepreneurship on campus. Using students perspectives as our guide, we have created strategies and tactics that we think will improve innovation and entrepreneurship on campus. Like any strategic plan, it requires careful planning and monitoring. In order for successful implementation of our strategies, we want students, faculty, and staff to continue building on the idea of innovation and entrepreneurship. If we work together, our vision will turn into reality and we will see a campus that supports innovation and entrepreneurship by incorporating our lasallian mission.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
= Strategy 1: Establishing Innovation & Entrepreneurship Across the Curriculum<br/> =<br />
<br />
== Tactic 1: Adding More Innovational & Entrepreneurial Courses into the Curriculum ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-7932ca1c-5cd5-79fe-57bd-851903dac034"><span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Students from the School of Business, Arts & Sciences and Nursing should be exposed to more courses that integrate the concept of innovation and entrepreneurship. Innovation applies not only to business students but to all. The real challenge is trying to merge the students academic focus into the concept of innovation and entrepreneurship. Students working towards a degree in business or science understand the importance of innovation and entrepreneurship.</span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: medium; background-color: transparent;">The plan of attack to tackle this issue is currently being investigated in the form of creating more courses that are interdisciplinary in their nature. A current example of this type of course being implemented at La Salle would be Life Science Innovation. This class is open to students of all majors, and currently contains students from The School of Business, The School of Arts and Sciences, as well as The School of Nursing.</span><br />
<br />
== Tactic 2: Courses on Design Thinking&nbsp; ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-7932ca1c-5cd5-79fe-57bd-851903dac034"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This course should be offered to all students and provide an experience that encourages collaboration and design thinking concepts. Students should seek benefit in the course regardless of his or her major.</span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
== Tactic 3: Seeking Faculty & Administration Support (Strategic Planning)&nbsp;<br/> ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">As students who seek the drive to push for innovation entrepreneurship on campus, we understand the need for support from faculty and administrators. As future fellows, we understand that in order for successful implementation of our tactics, administrators need to see our vision. Therefore, we will soon embark on a unique strategic five year plan that we as fellows will propose to faculty and administrators. This plan will not only include our vision in regards to innovation & entrepreneurship on campus, but also tactics that we think will harness a culture of sustainable creativity.</span></span><br />
<br />
= Strategy 2: Establishing Long-Term Relationship Between Engineering Programs at Neighboring Universities through the University Innovation Fellows at each University.<br/> =<br />
<br />
== Tactic 1: Promoting Connections Between Universities&nbsp; ==<br />
<br />
<font face="times new roman, times, serif" size="3"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Reaching out to neighboring universities with Engineering programs to attend events such as Open Minds, Hackathons, and Innovation Challenges to establish connections with La Salle University to assist the school in expanding our Innovation and Entrepreneurship environment.</span></font><br />
<br />
== Tactic 2: Creating Networking Groups&nbsp;<br/> ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">For like minded people, these networking groups would allow for people to exchange those ideas, and also gives that person a chance to see who else had the same idea or something similar and then if things lead from one to another, those students can form a group on campus and have the help of that certain professor (with some familiarity with engineering) who has more information on going about that idea help and push for that idea to come alive.</span></span><br />
<br />
== Tactic 3: Refining the Ideas through Communication&nbsp; ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-7932ca1c-5cd5-79fe-57bd-851903dac034"><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">With whatever idea you have, having connections to faculty and other students after the creation of your idea is what makes your connection between engineering and business stronger.</span></span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">Having an open mind with who you know can allow your idea to grow and your innovative mind to expand as well.</span></span><br />
<br />
= Strategy 3: Enhancing the Visuals of what Innovation & Entrepreneurialism Are&nbsp; =<br />
<br />
== Tactic 1: Creating Organizations that Promote Innovative Thinking&nbsp; ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); white-space: pre-wrap;">Creating student organizations that not only teach and inspire innovation but give students the chance to take the wheel with projects that will give them hands-on experience dealing with real life problems and allow them to solve them. &nbsp;(This includes: creating small business ideas and taking the steps to create them, and identifying problems within the world and creating think tanks to attempt to solve them)</span></span></span><br />
<br />
== Tactic 2: Competitions that Provide Incentives for Creative Idea Making &nbsp;Organizations that Promote Innovative Thinking&nbsp; ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-7932ca1c-5ce3-b51c-e5f6-552085723879"><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Challenges built to have students compete with each other for prizes based on varying concepts from which they will develop ideas and attempt to create them and promote them. La Salle University currently holds an Open Minds Competition annually, as well as regular Innovation Challenges. The main focus would be to increase participation among the students in all majors and acquire additional faculty participation as well as an increased amount of monetary support.</span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
== Tactic 3: Changing Curriculum and Course Material &nbsp; ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-7932ca1c-5ce3-b51c-e5f6-552085723879"><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Changing some of the course material in class to help promote innovation is key. To accomplish this, faculty that are interested in Innovation and Entrepreneurship needs to be exposed to the concept of Design Thinking so they can implement course material that will utilize this method of problem-solving. In addition, faculty should encourage students to use the Makers Space that was built in the library, and should anticipate using the Innovation Lab in the new Buisness School building. Through the use of these spaces, students will organically acquire a desire to continue using skills such as Design Thinking in the future, in turn making the student body more interested and curious in innovation.</span></span></span></span><br />

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is one of the most dense university regions in the United States. As a lasallian school, we understand the values of innovation and entrepreneurship. As students, we believe that the values of innovation and entrepreneurship should flow consistently, regardless of your major. La Salle believes that in today’s competitive economic environment, people with entrepreneurial spirits will not only succeed in their chosen careers but also will drive business creation, growth, and job opportunities for the larger business community.</span></span></span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">For the past few weeks, innovation fellow candidates interviewed multiple students to learn more about ways to increase innovation and entrepreneurship on campus. Using students perspectives as our guide, we have created strategies and tactics that we think will improve innovation and entrepreneurship on campus. Like any strategic plan, it requires careful planning and monitoring. In order for successful implementation of our strategies, we want students, faculty, and staff to continue building on the idea of innovation and entrepreneurship. If we work together, our vision will turn into reality and we will see a campus that supports innovation and entrepreneurship by incorporating our lasallian mission.</span></span></span><br />

Innovation applies not only to business students but to all. The real challenge is trying to merge the students academic focus into the concept of innovation and entrepreneurship. Students working towards a degree in business or science understand the importance of innovation and entrepreneurship.</span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: medium; background-color: transparent;">The plan of attack to tackle this issue is currently being investigated in the form of creating more courses that are interdisciplinary in their nature. A current example of this type of course being implemented at La Salle would be Life Science Innovation. This class is open to students of all majors, and currently contains students from The School of Business, The School of Arts and Sciences, as well as The School of Nursing.</span><br />
<br />
== Tactic 2: Courses on Design Thinking&nbsp; ==<br />

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-7932ca1c-5cd5-79fe-57bd-851903dac034"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This course should be offered to all students and provide an experience that encourages collaboration and design thinking concepts. Students should seek benefit in the course regardless of his or her major.</span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
== Tactic 3: Seeking Faculty & Administration Support (Strategic Planning)&nbsp;<br/> ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">As students who seek the drive to push for innovation entrepreneurship on campus, we understand the need for support from faculty and administrators. As future fellows, we understand that in order for successful implementation of our tactics, administrators need to see our vision. Therefore, we will soon embark on a unique strategic five year plan that we as fellows will propose to faculty and administrators. This plan will not only include our vision in regards to innovation & entrepreneurship on campus, but also tactics that we think will harness a culture of sustainable creativity.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">For like minded people, these networking groups would allow for people to exchange those ideas, and also gives that person a chance to see who else had the same idea or something similar and then if things lead from one to another, those students can form a group on campus and have the help of that certain professor (with some familiarity with engineering) who has more information on going about that idea help and push for that idea to come alive.</span></span><br />

<div><span id="docs-internal-guid-e870e4e4-6775-91ec-89fb-41f2a6619805"><span style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This wiki page is constructed based off an interview done with current University of Georgia PhD student and University Innovation Fellow, Gregory Wilson. The topic is his experience with creating, planning, and leading events at University of Georgia that expose students to Design Thinking by gamification of the process.</span></span><br />
<br />
= <span id="docs-internal-guid-e870e4e4-6776-1577-2188-676e12b7e26a"><span style="font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Introduction</span></span> =<br />
<br />
== <span id="docs-internal-guid-e870e4e4-6776-1577-2188-676e12b7e26a"><span style="font-family: Arial; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Overview</span></span> ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">Gamification is one of the newest teaching methods being implemented in higher education in an effort to produce innovative and entrepreneurial minded individuals. &nbsp;Increased need for divergent thinking means increased need for diverse teaching strategies.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">Gamification is simply project based learning taught in a fun and competitive environment. The process allows a moderator or group of facilitators to task diverse groups of people to push the limits of their creativity. This style of project based learning creates a more engaging environment in which the lesson is more about the journey than the destination.</span><br />
<br />
== <span id="docs-internal-guid-e870e4e4-6776-1577-2188-676e12b7e26a"><span style="font-family: Arial; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Target Audience</span></span> ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">This is entirely up to you. The process of design thinking encourages diverse groups of people to collaborate on new innovative designs. Diversity among program participants should include those with different ethnicities, academic areas of interest and levels of expertise, age groups, sexes, moral beliefs and codes, the list goes on.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">Gamification is also a great way to raise awareness about this innovative approach so try to get as many people involved as possible. It is important to keep in mind that the number of students you choose to participate must be small enough to be managed by moderators that are available.</span><br />
<br />

<br />
== <span id="docs-internal-guid-e870e4e4-6776-1577-2188-676e12b7e26a"><span style="font-family: Arial; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Needed resources</span></span> ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">To get started on planning an actual “game experience” you must first do some serious background work. You should start with something small in your community/college to begin to raise awareness. Maybe begin by hosting a few workshops or pop-up classes focusing on a particular subject (3D printing, giving business pitches, the Adobe Creative Suite, or website design). Talk to professors and begin to build a rapport with the professionals in your college and community. &nbsp;Getting the community excited and involved is a big part of making your event a success. &nbsp;</span><br />
<br />
== <span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap; text-decoration: underline;">Funding</span> ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">To get started you always need to discuss funding. Even a minor pop-up class in design thinking costs something, right? So here’s how you get the ball rolling. &nbsp;</span><br />
<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><br />
<li><span id="docs-internal-guid-e870e4e4-6776-1577-2188-676e12b7e26a"><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Start by talking to professors and other administrative personnel at your school. You need to express sincere interest and drive in order to bring people aboard. &nbsp;</span></span></li><br />
<li><span id="docs-internal-guid-e870e4e4-6776-1577-2188-676e12b7e26a"><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Remember to start small, as most big ideas are constructed of little parts. So, try to utilize the smaller aspects to slowly bring your dream into focus. Remember money will always be tight and starting with small inexpensive resources can help mitigate costs.</span></span></li><br />
<li><span id="docs-internal-guid-e870e4e4-6776-1577-2188-676e12b7e26a"><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">See the value in introducing students to the idea informally and gaining their interest in order to gain traction with professors and administrators.</span></span></li><br />
<li><span id="docs-internal-guid-e870e4e4-6776-1577-2188-676e12b7e26a"><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Also look at university programs, grants, fundraising and alumni for contributions.</span></span></li><br />
</ul><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">One of the most important aspects guaranteeing a large turnout for an event is strategically planning the event.

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">It is important to keep the spirit of community and collaboration in mind when planning such an event. &nbsp;While the ultimate goal of the participants may be to win the competition, you goal should remain focused on bringing the community together in a spirit of cooperative innovation. &nbsp;There are several ways to help keep the game focused on cooperation.</span><br />
<br />
*<span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">Give out points for sharing information or different skill sets with another team or award a special prize just for walking another team through a procedure.</span><br />
*<span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">Try to ensure groups of friends or acquaintances are on different teams while encouraging them to help each other out.</span><br />
<br />
== <span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap; text-decoration: underline;">Incentives</span> ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">Try to come up with innovative prize ideas that can incorporate the resources outside your campus community. &nbsp;Talk to local business especially those that have experts in design and innovation or are interested in new ideas for start ups. &nbsp;</span><br />
<br />
<span id="docs-internal-guid-e870e4e4-6776-1577-2188-676e12b7e26a"><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Instead of looking for one Big prize, look for a few small prizes to keep the fuel going throughout the entire game.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">Always be aware that there will be those who try to cut corners and “cheat the system”. You must remember that you must also manage the participants and their expectations as well. You can find yourself in a controversial situation when dealing with points for design.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">Everyone has a different need and point of view. Keep in mind you are a mentor or a guide here to help each individual person to achieve their absolute best. Coaching and encouraging are your two best options in keeping the game focused on innovation. &nbsp;</span><br />

For instance, if you are making 3D printer available for use or maybe Arduino boards, you may want to have an instructor host a small workshop or series of workshops to help build different skills which would help the teams score higher with their designs.</span></span><br />

Adding a team of specially trained individual to help coach and expand on new ideas can only boost the level of innovation and competition. These individuals exist all throughout your college campus and outlying community. These specialists may be people that you speak with everyday already.

The topic is his experience with creating, planning, and leading events at University of Georgia that expose students to Design Thinking by gamification of the process.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">Gamification is one of the newest teaching methods being implemented in higher education in an effort to produce innovative and entrepreneurial minded individuals. &nbsp;Increased need for divergent thinking means increased need for diverse teaching strategies.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">Gamification is simply project based learning taught in a fun and competitive environment. The process allows a moderator or group of facilitators to task diverse groups of people to push the limits of their creativity. This style of project based learning creates a more engaging environment in which the lesson is more about the journey than the destination.</span><br />
<br />
== <span id="docs-internal-guid-e870e4e4-6776-1577-2188-676e12b7e26a"><span style="font-family: Arial; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Target Audience</span></span> ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">This is entirely up to you. The process of design thinking encourages diverse groups of people to collaborate on new innovative designs. Diversity among program participants should include those with different ethnicities, academic areas of interest and levels of expertise, age groups, sexes, moral beliefs and codes, the list goes on.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">Gamification is also a great way to raise awareness about this innovative approach so try to get as many people involved as possible. It is important to keep in mind that the number of students you choose to participate must be small enough to be managed by moderators that are available.</span><br />

<br />
== <span id="docs-internal-guid-e870e4e4-6776-1577-2188-676e12b7e26a"><span style="font-family: Arial; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Needed resources</span></span> ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">To get started on planning an actual “game experience” you must first do some serious background work. You should start with something small in your community/college to begin to raise awareness. Maybe begin by hosting a few workshops or pop-up classes focusing on a particular subject (3D printing, giving business pitches, the Adobe Creative Suite, or website design). Talk to professors and begin to build a rapport with the professionals in your college and community. &nbsp;Getting the community excited and involved is a big part of making your event a success. &nbsp;</span><br />
<br />
== <span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap; text-decoration: underline;">Funding</span> ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">To get started you always need to discuss funding. Even a minor pop-up class in design thinking costs something, right? So here’s how you get the ball rolling. &nbsp;</span><br />
<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><br />

You need to express sincere interest and drive in order to bring people aboard. &nbsp;</span></span></li><br />
<li><span id="docs-internal-guid-e870e4e4-6776-1577-2188-676e12b7e26a"><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Remember to start small, as most big ideas are constructed of little parts. So, try to utilize the smaller aspects to slowly bring your dream into focus. Remember money will always be tight and starting with small inexpensive resources can help mitigate costs.</span></span></li><br />
<li><span id="docs-internal-guid-e870e4e4-6776-1577-2188-676e12b7e26a"><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">See the value in introducing students to the idea informally and gaining their interest in order to gain traction with professors and administrators.</span></span></li><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">Try to come up with innovative prize ideas that can incorporate the resources outside your campus community. &nbsp;Talk to local business especially those that have experts in design and innovation or are interested in new ideas for start ups. &nbsp;</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">Always be aware that there will be those who try to cut corners and “cheat the system”. You must remember that you must also manage the participants and their expectations as well. You can find yourself in a controversial situation when dealing with points for design.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">Everyone has a different need and point of view. Keep in mind you are a mentor or a guide here to help each individual person to achieve their absolute best. Coaching and encouraging are your two best options in keeping the game focused on innovation. &nbsp;</span><br />

For instance, if you are making 3D printer available for use or maybe Arduino boards, you may want to have an instructor host a small workshop or series of workshops to help build different skills which would help the teams score higher with their designs.</span></span><br />

Adding a team of specially trained individual to help coach and expand on new ideas can only boost the level of innovation and competition. These individuals exist all throughout your college campus and outlying community. These specialists may be people that you speak with everyday already.
