Hey There - My name is Ryan Phillips and I currently work at a VC fund and venture studio. My role there consists of two things, (1) helping teams launch their ideas and (2) identifying promising areas of interest to invest in. While i've only been working here for about two months, I love it so far!

Previously, I worked at Microsoft as a Culture Engineer! What does that mean? Basically, I try to shift the culture to be more inclusive including everything from our products, our day-to-day operations, and everything in between! Check out an example of this that recently launched, the [https://news.microsoft.com/stories/xbox-adaptive-controller/ Xbox Adaptive Controller].

I graduated from the University of Oklahoma in summer 2015 with my masters in Computer Science.During my time at OU, I worked in a consulting role with many Oklahoma-based startups in industries such as robotic surgery, book publishing, and vaccination development. My UIF project connected groups from across campus to build the [https://youtu.be/EBBbt1c_Cyw Innovation Hub at OU], a multi-disciplinary space that allows students to experiment with projects regardless of what major they are. We began work in early 2014, broke ground in late 2015, and spring 2017 welcomed the first students to the space!

Beyond work, I LOVE photography (check it out [https://www.flickr.com/photos/ryan-phillips/ here]), and have recently been experimenting with drone videography - check out my latest prototype [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJsOyy7TnF8 here]!

I’m happy to talk to anyone about anything, and I feel like I can help the most with students working on projects based on inclusion, creative spaces, and/or technology (CS, hardware, strategy, etc)!

Thanks :) Ryan

= Overview =

The University of Oklahoma has momentum and a lot of potential when it comes to Innovation and Entrepreneurship on campus. Through mapping all of the resources on campus, it has been determined that there are a few key areas where Unniversity Innovation Fellows and faculty can come together to further advance entrepreneurship on our campus.

= Strategy #1: I&E Spaces                                            =

== Tactic #1: Innovative/Creative Space ==

*Description- We are hoping that the creative space will be our Design Space, "Makery", Maker Space, etc., where students can come and design their new ideas. We want this to be our Google Garage, if you will. This fabrication lab will have a 3D printer, all the office supplies imaginable, tinkering spaces, and tools. This fablab will be on the South Research campus, near CCEW, in the new building that is being currently built. Students will either be charged an entrance fee, or it will be free, and then they will be free to use the space and everything in it. There is already the funding for this project and the plans are in the making.
*Team Lead: Center for the Creation of Economic Wealth
*Milestones: Built December 2014
*Open to Public January 2015                                             

== Tactic #2: IBM Design  '''                                      ''' ==

{{#Widget:Youtube|id=PLUfpohwncM}}

*Description - IBM design is a new and quickly growing 4th major division of IBM. The division currently has about 80 designers and front end developers but is hiring over 2000 new graduates over the next 5 years. The head manager of this new division is an OU alumni and has been extremely interested in a partnership. We believe a partnership with this new division could help is 3 different ways. First, IBM design could sponsor monthly speakers and/or design workshops to get not just designers focused more on design but get people from all majors integrating design thinking into their projects. Second, the big name of IBM will get more students interested in the programs. This will help spread the innovation and design thinking across campus. Finally, this would create an easy path for students from OU to be hired into a major company that is beginning to focus on design and has been known for innovation.
*Team Leaders - Ryan Phillips (Computer Science), Sridhar Radhikrishnan (Dean of CS)
*Milestones - 
**First workshop - August 2014
**First OU hire by IBM Design - December 2014


== Tactic #3: Design for America ==

*Description: We are hoping to bring Design for America to our campus to increase innovation and entrepreneurship in the design sphere. We are hoping that this will encourage more students in the design and arts and sciences sphere to engage in Entrepreneurship. Design for America will open their applications to more campuses this fall and OU will apply.
*Team Leaders: Lauren Abston, Trisha Murray(Architecture)
*Milestones: Apply for DFA- Fall 2014
*Start Plans on Campus Spring 2015

== Strategy #2: How to Train Thinkers ==

== Tactic #1: Creativity Course ==

*Description - In our time spent at Stanford, many of the professors described the classes they taught as creativity courses where crazy brainstorming and rapid prototyping is a key portion of the class. At OU, we have very little of this. Almost all classes, even in the visual communications department are focused on traditional lecture classes. One of our main goals is to promote this creative thinking through working with professors to offer a creative thinking course similar to the one Tina Seelig teaches. This initially be something that is just offered to a few students and once the benefits are seen and it is shown that students enjoy using their hands to prototype with playdoh and other materials during class, we will look to expand to offer more classes.
*Team Leaders - Ryan Phillips, Daniel Pullin (Dean of Business College)
*Milestones -
**First class offered - Fall 2014
**First Creativity major offered - Fall 2014
**Other Majors required to take course in creative thinking - Fall 2016

== Tactic #2: Learning by Doing Across Majors ==

*Description - There are few ideas that span every major at a major university, but one that is absolutely true for each is the fact that a student learns more by doing rather than listening. Universities like Stanford have begun to implement this with the d.school being open to all majors, but OU is slow in this area. If we want students to be as well prepared as possible when graduating, we need to get the students doing projects that have a real world impact and allow the students to get a hands on experience. To do this, we can partner with local business and work directly with them to develop projects that a small team of students can work on.
*Team Leaders - Ryan Phillips, Thomas Landers (Dean of Engineering), Cameron McCoy (Executive Director of Corporate Engagement Office)
*Milestones - 
**First agreement with company for students to work on project - Fall 2014
**Integrate into class - Spring 2015

== Tactic #3: Presidential Dream Creativity Course ==

{{#Widget:Youtube|id=we46fDkUiGg}}

*Description: There are Presidential Dream Courses taught at OU that bring together professors and speakers from all different disciplines. They are a series of lectures taught by accredited and renowned leaders from their fields. The Dream Courses range from science to the existence of God, from music to ancient Roman history. We are hoping to host a Presidential Dream Course on creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurship. We are hoping this will have three main effects. First, this will bring important leaders in creativity(like Tina Seelig) to the OU campus and they will see the infrastructure we already have in place. Secondly, this course will be open to all students and will bring in some that may have not thought they had an interest in entrepreneurship. Third, it will prove to the university and the University President the demand for entrepreneurship and creativity on our campus. This is my top priority and something that will cause lasting change on campus, and is unique to our campus landscape. 
*Team Leads: Lauren Abston, Ryan Phillips, CCEW
*Milestones- Spring 2014- Have Course

= Random Strategy: Start-Up Career Fair =

We only have normal career fairs with big energy companies. It would be awesome to spur interest for entrepreneurship by bringing in start-up companies that were looking to hire recent college grads. We haven't looked into this as much, but even having a few start-up companies at our normal career fair would help a lot.

== Tactic #1: Innovative/Creative Space ==

*Description- We are hoping that the FabLab will be our Design Space, "Makery", Maker Space, etc., where students can come and design their new ideas. We want this to be our Google Garage, if you will. This fabrication lab will have a 3D printer, all the office supplies imaginable, tinkering spaces, and tools. This fablab will be on the South Research campus, near CCEW, in the new building that is being currently built. Students will either be charged an entrance fee, or it will be free, and then they will be free to use the space and everything in it. There is already the funding for this project and the plans are in the making.

{{#Widget:Youtube|id=PLUfpohwncM}}

*Description - IBM design is a new and quickly growing 4th major division of IBM. The division currently has about 80 designers and front end developers but is hiring over 2000 new graduates over the next 5 years. The head manager of this new division is an OU alumni and has been extremely interested in a partnership. We believe a partnership with this new division could help is 3 different ways. First, IBM design could sponsor monthly speakers and/or design workshops to get not just designers focused more on design but get people from all majors integrating design thinking into their projects. Second, the big name of IBM will get more students interested in the programs. This will help spread the innovation and design thinking across campus. Finally, this would create an easy path for students from OU to be hired into a major company that is beginning to focus on design and has been known for innovation.
*Team Leaders - Ryan Phillips (Computer Science), Sridhar Radhikrishnan (Dean of CS)
*Milestones - 
**First workshop - August 2014
**First OU hire by IBM Design - December 2014


== Tactic #3: Design for America ==

*Description: We are hoping to bring Design for America to our campus to increase innovation and entrepreneurship in the design sphere. We are hoping that this will encourage more students in the design and arts and sciences sphere to engage in Entrepreneurship. Design for America will open their applications to more campuses this fall and OU will apply.
*Team Leaders: Lauren Abston, Trisha Murray(Architecture)
*Milestones: Apply for DFA- Fall 2014
*Start Plans on Campus Spring 2015

== Strategy #2: How to Train Thinkers ==

== Tactic #1: Creativity Course ==

*Description - In our time spent at Stanford, many of the professors described the classes they taught as creativity courses where crazy brainstorming and rapid prototyping is a key portion of the class. At OU, we have very little of this. Almost all classes, even in the visual communications department are focused on traditional lecture classes. One of our main goals is to promote this creative thinking through working with professors to offer a creative thinking course similar to the one Tina Seelig teaches. This initially be something that is just offered to a few students and once the benefits are seen and it is shown that students enjoy using their hands to prototype with playdoh and other materials during class, we will look to expand to offer more classes.
*Team Leaders - Ryan Phillips, Daniel Pullin (Dean of Business College)
*Milestones -
**First class offered - Fall 2014
**First Creativity major offered - Fall 2014
**Other Majors required to take course in creative thinking - Fall 2016

== Tactic #2: Learning by Doing Across Majors ==

*Description - There are few ideas that span every major at a major university, but one that is absolutely true for each is the fact that a student learns more by doing rather than listening. Universities like Stanford have begun to implement this with the d.school being open to all majors, but OU is slow in this area. If we want students to be as well prepared as possible when graduating, we need to get the students doing projects that have a real world impact and allow the students to get a hands on experience. To do this, we can partner with local business and work directly with them to develop projects that a small team of students can work on.
*Team Leaders - Ryan Phillips, Thomas Landers (Dean of Engineering), Cameron McCoy (Executive Director of Corporate Engagement Office)
*Milestones - 
**First agreement with company for students to work on project - Fall 2014
**Integrate into class - Spring 2015

== Tactic #3: Presidential Dream Creativity Course ==

{{#Widget:Youtube|id=we46fDkUiGg}}

*Description: There are Presidential Dream Courses taught at OU that bring together professors and speakers from all different disciplines. They are a series of lectures taught by accredited and renowned leaders from their fields. The Dream Courses range from science to the existence of God, from music to ancient Roman history. We are hoping to host a Presidential Dream Course on creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurship. We are hoping this will have three main effects. First, this will bring important leaders in creativity(like Tina Seelig) to the OU campus and they will see the infrastructure we already have in place. Secondly, this course will be open to all students and will bring in some that may have not thought they had an interest in entrepreneurship. Third, it will prove to the university and the University President the demand for entrepreneurship and creativity on our campus. This is my top priority and something that will cause lasting change on campus, and is unique to our campus landscape. 
*Team Leads: Lauren Abston, Ryan Phillips, CCEW
*Milestones- Spring 2014- Have Course

= Random Strategy: Start-Up Career Fair =

We only have normal career fairs with big energy companies. It would be awesome to spur interest for entrepreneurship by bringing in start-up companies that were looking to hire recent college grads. We haven't looked into this as much, but even having a few start-up companies at our normal career fair would help a lot.

'''Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship'''

OU has two main resources for I&E. The first is the Center for Entrepreneurship housed in the Price College of Business. They offer undergraduate major and minors, as well as a graduate Entrepreneurship Degree. The core is a three semester New Venture Development course that includes Ideation, Feasibility Analysis, and Business Plan Development. The Center for Entrepreneurship offers Venture Strategy Sessions. 

The second resource is the Center for the Creation of Economic Wealth. CCEW offers semester long internships for university undergrads to participate in three distinct programs: Software Acceleration, Technology Commericialization, and Social Entrepreneurship. High-performing undergraduate students are paired with an inventor of a product or idea, a mentor, and over the course of a semester they work on the venture and achieve impactful results. 

Under the umbrella of CCEW, the Oklahoma Funding Accelerator is a student-run business consulting organization formed to assist local and student entrepreneurs in starting and expanding their businesses.

== Overview ==
<div><div>
 NOBE National is the National Chapter of the National Organization for Business and Engineering (NOBE), a national society uniting business, management and engineering organizations from universities coast to coast. NOBE strives to produce and refine leadership internally and develop professional skills in our members that can be translated into success in the business world. NOBE accomplishes this through programs at 12 universities across the United States with some chapters having 70+ members. NOBE’s mission is to bring together individuals at corporate and academic institutions interested in both business and engineering and to integrate these fields into one practice. NOBE will serve as a crossroad and network for the unmet professional, leadership, technological and entrepreneurial development of these individuals. As a national organization, NOBE will maintain this network and continually build resources to help these individuals meet the constantly evolving demands they will face in today’s business world.

== History ==

In 2006, a member of the Society for Business and Management in Engineering (SBME) at the University of Illinois proposed the idea to take the organization to a national level to gain exposure and recognition, while providing an environment for students all over the nation who are interested in business and engineering. SBME contacted similar organizations at three other universities with this idea, and since then, students from the four universities have been collaborating on the creation of the National Organization for Business and Engineering. In 2007, this vision became a reality, and NOBE is now a growing national organization. In early 2009, the first expansion chapter at Drexel University was formed, and NOBE is currently expanding with new chapters starting this year.

[[File:RPP Profile Pic.jpg|thumb|RPP Profile Pic.jpg]]Ryan Phillips

Ryan is a Computer Science major with a minor in Mathematics at the University of Oklahoma. He brings in experience from 3 semesters of developing technologies at the Center for the Creation of Economic Wealth (CCEW) in fields ranging from book publishing to patient data monitoring. During his semester as a team lead, he led 9 interdisciplinary students through a process of ideation, market validation, and software development to develop the beta version of SIREN. SIREN is a weather analysis application that automates the analysis and notification of hazardous weather to the trucking industry. During the 2 months, the team developed a proprietary algorithm with help from meteorologists at the National Weather Center and developed the web-based application with CCEW alumni working in Google Maps. We are currently raising funding to launch this startup in August of 2014. As an intern at Garmin during the summer of 2013, his work on the next-generation of in-dash navigation prepared Ryan to bring a large-scale software project from ideation through production. During the summer of 2014, Ryan will be an intern at Microsoft working on the web-based version of Microsoft Office, Office365.
