Strategic Priorities

<span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Encouraging Innovative Cross-Collaboration Among the Schools at SCU (2018-2019)

<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Most essential to the success of real-life projects and teams is collaboration. At Santa Clara University, however, the individual schools are often siloed, lacking cross-collaborative activities and courses that would enrich the students’ experiences even further. Courses within the Engineering school are excellent for technical training, and Business school courses prepare their students for much of the business scenarios they may encounter, but at the core of entrepreneurship is a combination of technical advancements and business acumen that can only be achieved with collaboration. We intent to implement a hands-on, project-based course that will bring engineering and business students together in a collaborative environment. Students will learn crucial technical and business topics, and how their intersection can push innovation to the next level. Teams will be made up of students in various majors who can act as both leaders and learners, ultimately contributing to a product that will move through a version of the entire entrepreneurial process. Based on student interests and market research, this course will be developed (by our team and faculty champion) to meet the demands of the students and their future careers as collaborative contributors to innovative success.

<span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Promoting Awareness of Innovation and Entrepreneurship Resources (2018-2019)

While many I&E opportunities exist at SCU, there is currently a problem in getting students to be aware of them. The Engineering School has sent out emails, created an online calendar, and even put up physical fliers advertising events that students can get involved on, but an overload of information has led to most engineering students neglecting it. Typically, the same group of students is attending these events, and the challenge is in expanding this group to a wider breadth of diverse engineers. Our team intends to have a large quarterly event where organizers and professors can pitch their events to students, which would restrict advertising to a few hours as opposed to lengthy, weekly emails. Additionally, our team members will act as liasons between the administration/event organizers and the students by raising awareness through fliers, social media advertising, and outreach to clubs.

 Identifying and Accommodating Students’ Entrepreneurial Ambitions (2018-2019)

<span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In order to create demand for the abundant I&E resources on campus, we must first understand students' expectations and ambitions for their college careers. If they expect a large emphasis on entrepreneurship in a classroom setting, we can meet them there with new courses and revamped lab guidelines. If we find students want more freedom and are interested in entrepreneurship outside of the classroom, we will provide access to community-sourced projects and resources. We would like to find out where these expectations and desires lie through extensive market research. We hope to properly gain the perspective of students and professors by explicitly speaking to these individuals, as well as implicitly analyzing which resources, approaches, and courses are popular and why others need work.

<span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Bridging the Gap Between Classroom Curriculum and Applied Innovation (2018-2019)

<span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Problem solving in the workplace is much different than the guided labs many students are used to doing at university. Due to this fact, when students find themselves in internships and later on, full-time jobs, they are ill prepared for the more open ended problem solving that exists in the workplace. In order to better prepare students for the future, we hope to rework labs to allow for students to create their own solutions, and do their own problem solving. Additionally, by better promoting more projects on campus, students will get the opportunity to collaborate with other engineers, another key skill need for the workplace. The combination of these two initiatives will go to great lengths in terms of instilling confidence in students when it comes to performing during the course of their internships, which will lead to even more opportunities for the students in the future. As such, we intend to work with faculty to create innovative lab guidelines and objectives, as well as provide more opportunities for team and project creation.

Promoting Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship

Santa Clara University has many institutions perfect for growing its students' entrepreneurial skills.  A popular minor at the school is entrepreneurship, where students take classes in many different business disciplines.  This minor also includes an internship with a start up in Silicon Valley. Similarly, the school offers a minor in Technical Innovation, Design Thinking and the Entrepreneurial Mindset, which is held within the School of Engineering with the purpose of being easier to fit in to an engineer's schedule than the entrepreneurship minor. The school also offers opportunities for project-based design thinking experience through clubs such as Bronco Design, ASME, IEEE, CIE and more. The SCU School of Engineering offers many elective courses in design thinking and innovation as a part of the KEEN program, which looks to encourage innovation on campus. The KEEN program also sponsors quarterly project-based competitions with cash prizes to incentivize students to gain valuable experience. Santa Clara is currently in the process of implementing STEM 2020, a project which involves replacing all the current STEM buildings with a massive STEM complex called the Sobroato Campus for Discovery and Innovation (SCDI). SCU is designing this complex with the intention of having innovation and entrepreneurship at the forefront.

Encouraging Faculty Innovation and Entrepreneurship

Being in the Silicon Valley, a lot of the professors here at Santa Clara come from entrepreneurial professions.  Many teachers in the business school teach with the entrepreneurial mindset and give real world examples from their own experiences.  Often, faculty also have important relationships with start up companies and encourage these companies to come speak on campus.  Professors also get many grants that they hand off to students to encourage entrepreneurship.  Every senior engineering student must create their own design product, working along side faculty, considering many entrepreneurial ideals. Finally, Santa Clara hires real-world entrepenuers and industry leaders to teach 1-unit elective classes.

Actively Supporting the University Technology Transfer Function

The Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship facilitates the transfer of technology to students and runs various programs to bring speakers on campus all in the name of entrepreneurship.  The center provides a network of connections to various companies and technologies so the students can flourish with the entrepreneurial mindset.  The use of technology is also encouraged in the Maker Lab at Santa Clara University, where any student who goes through training can use the lab as much as they wish and create anything they want there. Furthermore, through the construction of the Sobrato Campus for Discovery and Innovaiton (the new space for STEM at SCU), the school is investing in "Innovation Spaces" throughout the new buildings where students can collaborate on projects, as well as Maker Spaces similar to the Maker Lab to allow for hands on learning.

Facilitating University-Industry Collaboration

The university has many useful connections with companies inside and outside of Silicon Valley.  Handshake is a website where students can see job and internship postings for companies looking for Santa Clara University students.  There are many startups and entrepreneurial opportunities available for students here, such as the quartily KEEN competitions.

Engaging with Regional and Local Economic Development Efforts  

Santa Clara encourages students to aid in regional and local economic efforts. An example of this is the collaboration with NASA and the SCU Robotics Systems Lab, where students run missions with cutely named satellites "Ketchup and Mustard". The school also encourages its students to be socially responsible in all things including promoting charitable programs in dorms, and even requiring an (experiential learning and social justice) core curriculum requirement which gets students out volunteering in the community.  All in all, Santa Clara takes advantage of the surrouding area in a way that is beneficial to its students.

Rkarimjee:

= Overview =

        Santa Clara University has a huge amount of resources for all students who are interested in entrepreneurship and innovation, however, not many students are enrolled in these programs.  There seems to be a rather large disconnect between the students and the programs.  This is not for a lack of trying.  Many organizations try very hard to organize to students, but there are not very good channels for connecting the students to their desired program.  Sure, there are bulletin boards all around campus, and emails that go out, but most students ignore both of these methods.  There needs to be a better way to reach a larger amount of students.  

        There is also the problem of divisions.  Each school under the Santa Clara University umbrella (Arts and Science, Engineering, and Business) seems to have a disconnect.  They all seem to work with in their own school and not promote innovation by working together.  Bringing all these schools together would surely promote a greater pool of ideas and innovations.  

= Spring 2018 Priorities =

= STRATEGY #1: Expanding the pursuit of innovation at SCU =

== Strategy #1:  Bronco Innovation Center ==

        Santa Clara University has a wide range of Innovation and Entrepreneurship resources. The two biggest issues in strengthening the innovation culture at SCU seem to be broadening the scope of those resources and increasing student engagement with the opportunities that are present. The Bronco Innovation Center concept is one to allow more resources for students to get hands-on exploration and pursuit beyond the classroom relevant to innovation. This means learning more than just the brainstorming and basic prototyping that comes with the beginning of the design and innovation process, but really giving students the chance to understand the whole process.

The idea is to introduce a space on campus where students interested in pursuing their own projects or start-ups in the realm of innovation can get help from trained student consultants across disciplines (engineering, business, arts & sciences, law, etc.). The plan would be contingent upon heavy involvement from a faculty champion willing to help train volunteer student consultants. The volunteers would have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in many projects within their area of discipline, and would be centrally connected to a great resource to pursue their own ideas. Overall, it would be a student-based support ot the deficit in "pursuit" of innovation on campus. 

== Strategy #2:  Course Video Descriptions ==

There are a wide range of I&E courses at SCU, but a lot of them are not well marketed to students that are not in the School of Engineering. A lot of the time these classes may seem intimidating or daunting to non-engineering majors. As a way to alleviate this feeling, on the course description page of a particular class, there should be a 1-2 minute video of the professor describing the requirements, topics, scope, and application of their class. This contrasts the current course description page which hascurrently has abrief description of the class, the prerequisites, and required books. A video describing the course will not only be a more engaging way to learn about a class but it will give students a better feel for the professor's personality and the importance of the class. It will also help students get a better idea of if they want to take that class.

The quality of many elective classes at SCU are dependent on the content and the professor. The main resources students currently have access to for learning about a class and professor are the student submitted course evaluations or the generally biased reviews from websites likeRatemyprofessors. Students of all majors could formulate a better understanding of an elective course with a video description coming directly from the professor.

== Strategy #3:  Project Board Website ==

The current SCU site is heavily geared toward potential students instead of current students. Many resources that students do use are specific to career development or relevant to specific academic departments. There are very limited resources outside of general career development tools that inspire and initiate interdisciplinary work among SCU students.

Therefore, our team discovered a need for a centralized site - ideally connected to the SCU site and geared heavily toward current students - in which projects and research conducted by either students or professors could be shared and teams for projects could be created. We thought that a site such as this would create an easy way for students to explore real-world projects through interdisciplinary work among all SCU students from all schools (Engineering, Business, Arts & Sciences, and Law).
<div>
== Strategy #4: Nameless Career Fair ==

        Our campus lacks opportunities for students to explore the career path of Innovation and Entrepreneurship. This is because often, students get placed in boxes based on their major or they get sucked into the idea that they need to work at a “name brand” company in order to be happy. Generally, career fairs are very overwhelming with people around you all trying to land the same job. This environment naturally causes people to gravitate towards big companies because everyone thinks that having a job at a big company means success. However, success should be something that is defined internally and measured by one’s self instead of listening to other people’s judgments about what is and isn’t allowed to make you happy. This is an attempt to pair students with jobs they could actually be happy at and explore the possibilities that are out there.

= Spring 2017 Priorities =

= STRATEGY #1: REINVENTING RESOURCE MARKETING AND COMMUNICATIONS =

== Tactic #1:  Camino Utilization ==

        Santa Clara, as shown through our Landscape Canvas, has many resources - from classes to clubs, from speaker events to workshops - but these are far underutilized due to a system of communication that is both difficult for the administration to maintain and doesn't fully reach out to the students of each college. In the school of Engineering, there is a weekly email sent out that is hand-crafted every Sunday night that lists out most of the events that will be happening that week. Club meetings, Maker Lab events, workshops, and many others are listed off in this email- but in the eyes of many, it comes across as almost "spammy". Most notably, not all engineers are interested in all disciplines of engineering, so they need to sort through dozens of items in order to find one they might be interested in. Along those same lines, the Business and Arts/Sciences schools appear to lack anything close to this, and students have to be completely on top of the hundreds of emails they receive each week just to see what they’re actually interested in.

        By utilizing Camino, a resource that every student on campus already accesses on a near-daily basis, we could potentially completely rework how our school’s resources deal with communications. Through Camino, club leaders, event organizers, and school administrators could communicate resources directly to interested students by publishing announcements about events when they are announced, directly messaging students to work out questions or RSVPs, and automatically add the event dates, times, and details to the students’ Google calendars. Students would sign up for which “groups” they would be interested in, whether they be Entrepreneurship, Art, Career Preparation, whatever it might be, and only receive notifications for those interests. It would be much more streamlined and direct than our current means of communication, and also helps grey out the boundaries between schools.

= STRATEGY #2: REINVENTING CLASSES =

== Tactic:  Combining Pop-Up Classes ==

        In order to give the school an experience of innovation and entrepreneurship, Santa Clara offers various one-unitpop upclasses on relevant topics. A problem with these classes is that they don’t satisfy any requirement, are offered at odd times, and they are only worth one unit. This makes it so students can't or don’t want to take them. Therefore by combining them all into a 4-unit class would solve this problem. A problem that hasn’t been resolved yet is the fact that these classes are traditionally at odd times and are hard to fitinthe schedule. If the classes were all a part of the same class it wouldn’t have to be squeezed in eliminating the potential to take other classes. The largest benefit of these classes being in line so they can build off each other, and come together in a big final project that has areal worldcomponent.

= STRATEGY #3: CREATING OPPORTUNITIES FOR PURSUE =

== Tactic:  Multidisciplinary Startup Venture ==
<div>        Something that our landscape canvas revealed about Santa Clara University was that there was a clear gap when it comes to pursuing a startup venture and applying the innovative and designskills into areal and practical sense. Being in the heart of the Silicon Valley and sitting on top of many valuable resources, SCU does not do enough to foster the development of student-driven startups and fails to encourage collaboration and experimentation across different disciplines within the Business, Engineering and Arts and Science schools.</div><div>         To remedy this, we outlined a startup competition which pairs students from multiple disciplines as well as industry professionals and professors to organize an idea and bring it into a real, physical startup. This would be a yearlong commitment where most of Fall Quarter would be spent in the team and skill building phase. Students would organize amongst themselves and pitch startup ideas to industry professionals/professors who are interesting in providing their expertise to those ideas to fruition. After teams organize themselves, Winter quarter would be where the idea finally transcends into a real startup. Teams would develop business strategies, produce prototypes of their product or service, develop marketing tools, create a distribution system and search for potential investors. School funding aswell as resources such as the MakerLab wouldbe accessible to students to eliminate any financial risks and apprehension. Finally, by the end of Spring Quarter, students would present their startup and be judged by industry professionals, potentially having their ideas and talent taken beyond the campus confinements and into either a company or on their own as a fully functional startup.</div>

<span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Encouraging Innovative Cross-Collaboration Among the Schools at SCU (2018-2019)

<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Most essential to the success of real-life projects and teams is collaboration. At Santa Clara University, however, the individual schools are often siloed, lacking cross-collaborative activities and courses that would enrich the students’ experiences even further. Courses within the Engineering school are excellent for technical training, and Business school courses prepare their students for much of the business scenarios they may encounter, but at the core of entrepreneurship is a combination of technical advancements and business acumen that can only be achieved with collaboration. We intent to implement a hands-on, project-based course that will bring engineering and business students together in a collaborative environment. Students will learn crucial technical and business topics, and how their intersection can push innovation to the next level. Teams will be made up of students in various majors who can act as both leaders and learners, ultimately contributing to a product that will move through a version of the entire entrepreneurial process. Based on student interests and market research, this course will be developed (by our team and faculty champion) to meet the demands of the students and their future careers as collaborative contributors to innovative success.

While many I&E opportunities exist at SCU, there is currently a problem in getting students to be aware of them. The Engineering School has sent out emails, created an online calendar, and even put up physical fliers advertising events that students can get involved on, but an overload of information has led to most engineering students neglecting it. Typically, the same group of students is attending these events, and the challenge is in expanding this group to a wider breadth of diverse engineers. Our team intends to have a large quarterly event where organizers and professors can pitch their events to students, which would restrict advertising to a few hours as opposed to lengthy, weekly emails. Additionally, our team members will act as liasons between the administration/event organizers and the students by raising awareness through fliers, social media advertising, and outreach to clubs.

 Identifying and Accommodating Students’ Entrepreneurial Ambitions (2018-2019)

<span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In order to create demand for the abundant I&E resources on campus, we must first understand students' expectations and ambitions for their college careers. If they expect a large emphasis on entrepreneurship in a classroom setting, we can meet them there with new courses and revamped lab guidelines. If we find students want more freedom and are interested in entrepreneurship outside of the classroom, we will provide access to community-sourced projects and resources. We would like to find out where these expectations and desires lie through extensive market research. We hope to properly gain the perspective of students and professors by explicitly speaking to these individuals, as well as implicitly analyzing which resources, approaches, and courses are popular and why others need work.

<span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Bridging the Gap Between Classroom Curriculum and Applied Innovation (2018-2019)

<span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Problem solving in the workplace is much different than the guided labs many students are used to doing at university. Due to this fact, when students find themselves in internships and later on, full-time jobs, they are ill prepared for the more open ended problem solving that exists in the workplace. In order to better prepare students for the future, we hope to rework labs to allow for students to create their own solutions, and do their own problem solving. Additionally, by better promoting more projects on campus, students will get the opportunity to collaborate with other engineers, another key skill need for the workplace. The combination of these two initiatives will go to great lengths in terms of instilling confidence in students when it comes to performing during the course of their internships, which will lead to even more opportunities for the students in the future. As such, we intend to work with faculty to create innovative lab guidelines and objectives, as well as provide more opportunities for team and project creation.

Promoting Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship

Santa Clara University has many institutions perfect for growing its students' entrepreneurial skills.  A popular minor at the school is entrepreneurship, where students take classes in many different business disciplines.  This minor also includes an internship with a start up in Silicon Valley. Similarly, the school offers a minor in Technical Innovation, Design Thinking and the Entrepreneurial Mindset, which is held within the School of Engineering with the purpose of being easier to fit in to an engineer's schedule than the entrepreneurship minor. The school also offers opportunities for project-based design thinking experience through clubs such as Bronco Design, ASME, IEEE, CIE and more. The SCU School of Engineering offers many elective courses in design thinking and innovation as a part of the KEEN program, which looks to encourage innovation on campus. The KEEN program also sponsors quarterly project-based competitions with cash prizes to incentivize students to gain valuable experience. Santa Clara is currently in the process of implementing STEM 2020, a project which involves replacing all the current STEM buildings with a massive STEM complex called the Sobroato Campus for Discovery and Innovation (SCDI). SCU is designing this complex with the intention of having innovation and entrepreneurship at the forefront.

Encouraging Faculty Innovation and Entrepreneurship

Being in the Silicon Valley, a lot of the professors here at Santa Clara come from entrepreneurial professions.  Many teachers in the business school teach with the entrepreneurial mindset and give real world examples from their own experiences.  Often, faculty also have important relationships with start up companies and encourage these companies to come speak on campus.  Professors also get many grants that they hand off to students to encourage entrepreneurship.  Every senior engineering student must create their own design product, working along side faculty, considering many entrepreneurial ideals. Finally, Santa Clara hires real-world entrepenuers and industry leaders to teach 1-unit elective classes.

Actively Supporting the University Technology Transfer Function

The Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship facilitates the transfer of technology to students and runs various programs to bring speakers on campus all in the name of entrepreneurship.  The center provides a network of connections to various companies and technologies so the students can flourish with the entrepreneurial mindset.  The use of technology is also encouraged in the Maker Lab at Santa Clara University, where any student who goes through training can use the lab as much as they wish and create anything they want there. Furthermore, through the construction of the Sobrato Campus for Discovery and Innovaiton (the new space for STEM at SCU), the school is investing in "Innovation Spaces" throughout the new buildings where students can collaborate on projects, as well as Maker Spaces similar to the Maker Lab to allow for hands on learning.

Facilitating University-Industry Collaboration

The university has many useful connections with companies inside and outside of Silicon Valley.  Handshake is a website where students can see job and internship postings for companies looking for Santa Clara University students.  There are many startups and entrepreneurial opportunities available for students here, such as the quartily KEEN competitions.

Engaging with Regional and Local Economic Development Efforts  

Santa Clara encourages students to aid in regional and local economic efforts. An example of this is the collaboration with NASA and the SCU Robotics Systems Lab, where students run missions with cutely named satellites "Ketchup and Mustard". The school also encourages its students to be socially responsible in all things including promoting charitable programs in dorms, and even requiring an (experiential learning and social justice) core curriculum requirement which gets students out volunteering in the community.  All in all, Santa Clara takes advantage of the surrouding area in a way that is beneficial to its students.
