== Overview ==

Coming soon: Your Video (Session 5)

=== ===

=== ===

== Strategy #1: Increase Innovation and Entrepreneurship Classes for Non-Engineering and Entrepreneurship Majors ==

===
=== Offer more Innovation and Entrepreneurship based courses ===

       -Add Innovation and Entrepreneurship course to core curriculum

-Offer Innovation and Entrepreneurship based courses in more departments

       

=== Include Innovation and Entrepreneurship learning objectives in existing courses ===

- Add learning units that address innovation and entrepreneurship

- Gain skills through design projects

===        -Gain skills through design projects ===


== Strategy #2: Introduce Start-Up Weekend or Workshop Activities on Camp ==

=== Host an Innovation and Entrepreneurship Week in Anderson Student Center for All Students ===

*Host speakers sponsored by engineering groups such as ASME, IEEE, SWE, etc. 
*Have activities outside of The View at a table such as squishy circuits or quick build activities.
*Host a hackathon on South Campus for all students

=== Host a Start Up Weekend Design Challenge  ===

*Create a 72 hour design challenge for students to participate in over the weekend
*Open the design challenge to students across all disciplines 

=== Offer Workshops throughout the Semester Related to Innovation and Entrepreneurship ===

*Collaborate with an already existing workshop to incorporate innovation and entrepreneurship
*Host a two hour workshop during convo hour sponsored by an engineering club 

== Strategy #3: Increase Department Interaction ==

*Building a sense of shared enterprise.
*Make teamwork a priority by making it part of the performance management system.
*Build a software that integrates benefits of BlueJeans, Mindly, OneDrive, and LinkedIn to help with:
**Building the perfect team with the qualified skills you need for a project (LinkedIn)
**Quick and easy 2 way communication (BlueJeans)
**Laying out Projects (Mindly)
**Storing and sharing project files (OneDrive)

== Strategy #4: Increase Real World Experiences for Students ==
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>
=== Companies with a relationship to St. Thomas host events where students can come and visit their company, experiencing their work environment. ===
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Students would be interested in this, as when companies come to visit during club meetings, there are huge turn outs</li>
<li>It would be a no-pressure way to explore that environment, helping students with deciding which way they want to travel after they earn their degree</li>
<li>This could be beneficial for companies, as the companies could scope out potential employees/interns, especially those that personally reach out to the company at the event.</li>
</ul></li>
<li>
=== Mandatory class for semester long internship ===
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>This would be a huge way to get experience in the workfield as a class through the university.</li>
<li>St. Thomas could make a deal with the company, like if their students get the opportunity to intern part-time for a semester, they don’t have to pay them.</li>
<li>The students will learn actual physical skills towards their major that is different than just visiting as a group or talking to a representative.</li>
</ul></li>
<li>
=== Mandatory job shadowing for class with mandatory questions: ===
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Students would have to fulfill this to earn their degree, and in doing so, they can experience different places, helping them get a better feel for what they want to do after college.</li>
<li>If interested in this person, employers have a direct way of talking to the student without having to go through an application process. It would be a nice way for seeking out interns.</li>
<li>This would be more in depth way of learning about not only the company, but the job market, instead of just chatting with someone from the company for ten minutes.</li>
</ul></li>
</ul>

'''The student-led organization that Will started is a firm in which students give ideas and advice to clients who approach them for a fee. These clients may be individual clients or organizational clients. For example when we travel to places we are not aware of, we hire a guide to us about the places and we need to pay him. If some of such guides form a group and take turns to guide people it is a small Consulting Organisation. In the same way if it is led by students, It is called a Student-led Consulting Organisation'''

Clients will usually approach you if they know you have technical skills they need, but you need to be out there talking to people. A good way source of clients is the engineering department at your school; companies often reach out to different departments asking for students to work on projects and they can refer them to you. Business plan competitions or community plan competitions are another good option as they usually have start ups looking for people to satisfy certain needs. Another less thought of option is proactively emailing local companies letting them know you exist and are happy to work with them if they ever need your assistance.

'''Attaining concsistency is not small thing to acheive. because it does depend on many internal and external factors of the organisaton.

It should also look at the threats such as competeition etc. Besides these, the organisation improve its Research and Development ( R&D ) unit.

Being students gives the advantage of being able to charge less; many students don’t have many living expenses outside of tuition and room and board; recourses are also provided on campuses, such as meeting rooms and office supplies. Another benefit in being student led is the education mission, where clients feel good they are helping students learn and giving them a chance to work on real world projects.

== What is a Student-led Consulting Organisation ???? ==

            A  Student-led Consulting organisation is a firm in which  the students wil give ideas and advices to the clients who approach them for a fee. The clients may be indivdual clients or organistainal clients.              For example when we travel to places we are not aware of , we hire a guide to us about the places and we need to pay him.  If some of such guides form a group and take turns to guide people it is a small Consulting Organisation. In the same way if it is led by students , It is called a Student-led Consulting Organisation,

== How to kick start a Student-led Consulting Organisation ??? ==

                 First of all the students who look forward to start a Consulting Organisation , should look at the basic needs that the people want. Then they need to think upto what extent they can contribute to meet the needs of people. Generally studnets will be much eager in starting such organistaons and may not look at al the difficulties they may come across.                 The major Difficulties they may come across are :

                                         2. They may also get the problem while working in team , certainly no one would comprimise on their ideas.

                                         3. Also if they overcome every difficulty , promoting their organisation plays a very important role.

                                         4. Retaining their position in market for a long period also another difficult task for them.

 So in order to overcome these difficulties,  students need to convince the investors to invest on them and the capital should be expended correctly.

In order to avoid the misunderstandings in a team they need to elect a team leader and obey his decissions.Students should  use technolog for their promotion. and keep themselves updated with the trending technologies. 

== Types of Consulting Organisation ==

                 Based on the acedemics students are involved in, they may develope consulting organisations of different streams. It may be of following kinds

An organisation will be more successful only when the employees work according to their passion. A miscelleneous consulting organisation consists of all the above departments. So one should make sure that the grouping should be done according to their intrests.

The organisation should Improve their strengths and overcome thier weaknesses.Other than these the organisation should look at the opportunities that are available to them in market. It should also look at the threats such as competeition etc. 

          Besides these, the organisation improve its Research and Development ( R&D ) unit. Because once a problem is solved , certainly another problem will be arised. So the organisation should keep them updated according to the needs.
