Mélanie Droogleever Fortuyn is an undergraduate student at the University of Twente in the Netherlands. She is studying ATLAS (Technology, Liberal Arts, and Sciences). The program thrives off an interdisciplinary mindset, with project based learning that works on making innovative technology practical for current society.

Mélanie was born in Illinois, however has spent her entire life as an expat. She has lived in Germany, Russia, England and she is currently residing in the Netherlands for her bachelor’s degree. She has four nationalities, thanks to her international parents, including Canadian, American, Swiss and Dutch. This multicultural upbringing has provided her with a passion for travel and a very international outlook on the world. This drove her interest in engineering solutions for sustainable development around the world.

In the summer of 2017, Mélanie led a team of ATLAS students through a project to make the transport system in the city of Curitiba in Brazil more sustainable. She applied her design thinking knowledge from the UIF training to this project, and the team ended up travelling to Brazil over the summer to complete the research. This research included interviewing stakeholders such as government officials and organisations such as Volvo, mapping the infrastructure and stakeholder interactions, and finally hosting a stakeholder meeting so that they could exchange opinions and determine solutions to make Curitiba's transport more sustainable.

This project helped Mélanie leapfrog into the field of smart cities and sustainable development, as she later completed projects on dometic biogas implementation in Indonesia and reducing air pollution in the Randstaad region of the Netherlands.

For Mélanie's final year of her bachelor's she followed civil and environmental engineering courses during her study abroad at the University of Michigan, and then completed her bachelor's thesis as a visiting student in MIT's Senseable City Lab on the topic of waste collection with autonomous boats in the canals of Amsterdam.

In September 2019, Mélanie began her 2 year Master's in Environmental Sciences and Engineering at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland.

Mélanie has also been a very active member of her UIF team for the 3 years of her bachelor's. Mélanie helped launch the cross-cohort UTwente UIF team, and chaired this team for a whole year, through the highs of the Keeping Talent in Twente project and the very first European Meetup (for more details, see universityinnovationfellows.nl). During her final year abroad, she could not distance herself from the team, skyping into weekly team meetings, launching a new project on campus and being a day leader for two days of the 2nd ever European Meetup.

== <span class="mw-headline" id="Spring_2016_Priorities">Spring 2016 Priorities</span><br/> ==

The initial exposure of young students towards the entrepreneurial mindset and environment is not particularly well developed as compared to the other aspects in the Twente area.

This finding was discussed and reaffirmed by the other parties present during our first stakeholder meeting.

Based on this experience the discussion quickly zoomed in on the aspect of personal development that promotes a more experimental, hands-on, entrepreneurial and proactive mindset.

Essentially asking the question of how do we get students to…

  * think about why they are here!

  * develop a personal identity.

  * set their own personal goals.

  * select their assignments and work on these goals.

  * develop their own moral compass.

  * try something new more often.

  * stimulate their own curiosity.

…and develop these ideas early enough so they can pick courses in an intentional and goal oriented way.

The new education system introduced in 2013 the Twente Education Model. Already tried to address these aspects. However, due to the inherent inertia of tutors and tutees, these ideas still need more time to come full fruition. In that way, additional support to could support these concepts.

The team realized that while there are many facilities available for personal self-development, start-up funding and extracurricular content like the Honours Program many students don’t know about them and even worse do not care to know about them.

It seemed like an imperative focus for this UIF-Team to stimulate the personal development of young students so that the available resources are used more effectively.

Furthermore, it is necessary to have a positive and inclusive environment available on campus. The DesignLab as it stands today fulfills this role and will likely be a fitting and great place from which the UIF program should operate.

The aspects above can be summarized by 4 simple goals.

            1. Keep spreading the ideas and find mentors that can help with that.

            2. A need for self-development!

            3. Entrepreneurship needs to be valued by staff and students alike.

            4. The necessity of an inclusive environment for all the points above.

== Mid-term and long-term goals ==
<div>The University Innovation fellows present in Twente needs to be established. (Mid 2017) While there are many students run organizations none of them work in this context. Therefore, it is very important that the presence of the UIF committee and students are consistent and well established across the various parties across campus.</div><div>The first project associated with this is to hold launch event(s) and brainstorm sessions with various parties, in order to get our name out there.</div><div>Subsequent to this initial goal the UIF-Twente team needs to become a well-trusted institution on campus. Essentially, requiring the development of a UIF-Twente brand. This aspect is very important to assure the future effectiveness of this project. It is very difficult to determine a fixed milestone for this project, however, within one and a half years (early 2018) UIF should be a well-established name.</div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div>

== Subsequent steps to establish a students self-development as the focus of the UIF program<br/> ==
<div>In the first brainstorm session, the necessity for support for early’s students self-development was established.</div><div>Establishing a space a center and sanctuary for self-development. </div><div><br/></div><div>One approach towards stimulating self-development is offering students feedback and a safe place within which to receive this feedback. The DesignLab at this university could fulfill this function admirably. The goal is to establish this space connected to an easy and repetitive schedule with the ideas of self-driven learning as well as an ethical and moral understanding of once impact. No later than February 2017 should relate events start taking place in the DesignLab. This should allow students to get in touch with the program by the end of the academic year(July 2017).</div><div><br/></div><div> </div>

Many resources such as the knowledge and skills of students are not considered. The university is rather seeking help for the realizations of inside projects from outside companies and is therefore not using the talent that is right in front of them.</span></span>

The idea is to introduce all different organizations of the university and what this organization can provide in terms of resources and knowledge or skills. It is all about increasing the awareness of all members of the university about what different facilities and organizations the university has to offer.</span></span>

By signing up for that student pool they agree to be approachable for university intern project that otherwise would have been given to companies. The basic idea is to use the talent of students and give them real world problems on which they can work. Students can make valuable work experiences and the university can save money by first asking students to look for a solution. Students will be paid for working on the project.

The initial exposure of young students towards the entrepreneurial mindset and environment is not particularly well developed as compared to the other aspects in the Twente area.

This finding was discussed and reaffirmed by the other parties present during our first stakeholder meeting.

Based on this experience the discussion quickly zoomed in on the aspect of personal development that promotes a more experimental, hands-on, entrepreneurial and proactive mindset.

Essentially asking the question of how do we get students to…

  * think about why they are here!

  * develop a personal identity.

  * set their own personal goals.

  * select their assignments and work on these goals.

  * develop their own moral compass.

  * try something new more often.

  * stimulate their own curiosity.

…and develop these ideas early enough so they can pick courses in an intentional and goal oriented way.

The new education system introduced in 2013 the Twente Education Model. Already tried to address these aspects. However, due to the inherent inertia of tutors and tutees, these ideas still need more time to come full fruition. In that way, additional support to could support these concepts.

The team realized that while there are many facilities available for personal self-development, start-up funding and extracurricular content like the Honours Program many students don’t know about them and even worse do not care to know about them.

It seemed like an imperative focus for this UIF-Team to stimulate the personal development of young students so that the available resources are used more effectively.

Furthermore, it is necessary to have a positive and inclusive environment available on campus. The DesignLab as it stands today fulfills this role and will likely be a fitting and great place from which the UIF program should operate.

The aspects above can be summarized by 4 simple goals.

            1. Keep spreading the ideas and find mentors that can help with that.

            2. A need for self-development!

            3. Entrepreneurship needs to be valued by staff and students alike.

            4. The necessity of an inclusive environment for all the points above.

== Mid-term and long-term goals ==
<div>The University Innovation fellows present in Twente needs to be established. (Mid 2017) While there are many students run organizations none of them work in this context. Therefore, it is very important that the presence of the UIF committee and students are consistent and well established across the various parties across campus.</div><div>The first project associated with this is to hold launch event(s) and brainstorm sessions with various parties, in order to get our name out there.</div><div>Subsequent to this initial goal the UIF-Twente team needs to become a well-trusted institution on campus. Essentially, requiring the development of a UIF-Twente brand. This aspect is very important to assure the future effectiveness of this project. It is very difficult to determine a fixed milestone for this project, however, within one and a half years (early 2018) UIF should be a well-established name.</div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div>

== Subsequent steps to establish a students self-development as the focus of the UIF program<br/> ==
<div>In the first brainstorm session, the necessity for support for early’s students self-development was established.</div><div>Establishing a space a center and sanctuary for self-development. </div><div><br/></div><div>One approach towards stimulating self-development is offering students feedback and a safe place within which to receive this feedback. The DesignLab at this university could fulfill this function admirably. The goal is to establish this space connected to an easy and repetitive schedule with the ideas of self-driven learning as well as an ethical and moral understanding of once impact. No later than February 2017 should relate events start taking place in the DesignLab. This should allow students to get in touch with the program by the end of the academic year(July 2017).</div><div><br/></div><div> </div>

The initial exposure of young students towards the entrepreneurial mindset and environment is not particularly well developed as compared to the other aspects in the Twente area.

This finding was discussed and reaffirmed by the other parties present during our first stakeholder meeting.

Based on this experience the discussion quickly zoomed in on the aspect of personal development that promotes a more experimental, hands-on, entrepreneurial and proactive mindset.

Essentially asking the question of how do we get students to…

  * think about why they are here!

  * develop a personal identity.

  * set their own personal goals.

  * select their assignments and work on these goals.

  * develop their own moral compass.

  * try something new more often.

  * stimulate their own curiosity.

…and develop these ideas early enough so they can pick courses in an intentional and goal oriented way.

The new education system introduced in 2013 the Twente Education Model. Already tried to address these aspects. However, due to the inherent inertia of tutors and tutees, these ideas still need more time to come full fruition. In that way, additional support to could support these concepts.

The team realized that while there are many facilities available for personal self-development, start-up funding and extracurricular content like the Honours Program many students don’t know about them and even worse do not care to know about them.

It seemed like an imperative focus for this UIF-Team to stimulate the personal development of young students so that the available resources are used more effectively.

Furthermore, it is necessary to have a positive and inclusive environment available on campus. The DesignLab as it stands today fulfills this role and will likely be a fitting and great place from which the UIF program should operate.

The aspects above can be summarized by 4 simple goals.

            1. Keep spreading the ideas and find mentors that can help with that.

            2. A need for self-development!

            3. Entrepreneurship needs to be valued by staff and students alike.

            4. The necessity of an inclusive environment for all the points above.

== Mid-term and long-term goals ==
<div>The University Innovation fellows present in Twente needs to be established. (Mid 2017) While there are many students run organizations none of them work in this context. Therefore, it is very important that the presence of the UIF committee and students are consistent and well established across the various parties across campus.</div><div>The first project associated with this is to hold launch event(s) and brainstorm sessions with various parties, in order to get our name out there.</div><div>Subsequent to this initial goal the UIF-Twente team needs to become a well-trusted institution on campus. Essentially, requiring the development of a UIF-Twente brand. This aspect is very important to assure the future effectiveness of this project. It is very difficult to determine a fixed milestone for this project, however, within one and a half years (early 2018) UIF should be a well-established name.</div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div>

== Subsequent steps to establish a students self-development as the focus of the UIF program<br/> ==
<div>In the first brainstorm session, the necessity for support for early’s students self-development was established.</div><div>Establishing a space a center and sanctuary for self-development. </div><div><br/></div><div>One approach towards stimulating self-development is offering students feedback and a safe place within which to receive this feedback. The DesignLab at this university could fulfill this function admirably. The goal is to establish this space connected to an easy and repetitive schedule with the ideas of self-driven learning as well as an ethical and moral understanding of once impact. No later than February 2017 should relate events start taking place in the DesignLab. This should allow students to get in touch with the program by the end of the academic year(July 2017).</div><div><br/></div><div> </div>
