<div>== '''BoilerDriver Initiative''' ==<br />
<div>[[File:Bdi-banner.jpg|border|center|1000px|BDI Community]]<br/></div><br />
The BoilerDriver is an initiative to connect BoilerMakers across different departments to enhance the Purdue Community and provide a mainstream method for student innovators to gain input from experts and share their output with the world.<br />
<br />
{{#Widget:Youtube|id=ZgS0CysjsQ4}}<br />
<br />
== '''Our Model''' ==<br />
<br />
&nbsp; [[File:Bdi-logos.jpg|border|center|1000px|Objectives]] The BoilerDriver Initiative attempts to address three objectives with a proven model consisting of four components. Our primary objective is to connect students by helping them find the organization, entity, or mentor in the university. Our second objective is to render an environment that allows student innovators and entrepreneursto interact and maximize their productivity so that they can join multiple organizations or volunteer to mentor someone else without having a workload overflow. We believe that prioritization is key, however, BoilerDriver offers strategies to not only help students prioritize but save time. The third objective is for BoilerDriver to be a Purdue-endorsed mainstream way for student innovators to publicize their inventions throughout the university and with the world. These objectives are essential to establish the proper ambience of student innovation and entrepreneurship. To address these objectives, it is imperative that four components should be accessible to students.<br />
<br />
<br/>The four essential components will be offered to students through the BoilerDriver Initiative:<br />
<br />
=== '''Website and Social Network''' ===<br />
<br />
The primary component that facilitates the achievement of the aforementioned three objectives is the BoilerDriver website. The website allows Purdue students to sign-up as a member and search for clubs, departments, and mentors with in a particular field or industry. The website also gives student innovators the ability to get recognition and publicity for their breakthrough inventions and allows for an exclusive showcase of undergraduate and graduate projects. Finally, the website serves as a system that allows any Purdue students to connect with their peers through instant messaging forproject collaboration. This system allows student to keep in touchwith multiple clubs or programs to address the concern of conflicting schedules.<br />
<br />
=== '''Workspace''' ===<br />
<br />
The BoilerDriver workspace is an essential physical area that allows student innovators to privately meet to collaborate on approved projects. This space is provided primarily to give student innovators a place to work on their projects and store them securely. The workspace provides all common necessities used for rapid prototype and software development. BoilerDriver will also offer all modern computing platforms and electronic platforms to help innovators enhance their projects. All the website, community, and publicity related tasks are managed at the root of the BoilerDriver foundation: the workspace.<br />
<br />
=== '''Community''' ===<br />
<br />
A significant component that theBoilerDriver Initiative offers to Purdue students are the mentors and experts (Innovation Fellows) who makes up the community. Similar to a club, the BoilerDriver community comprises of officers such as the President, Vice President, Admin Assistant, etc. However, BoilerDriver Initiative will nominate a group of students to become ambassadors of student innovations each semester. This group is also referred to as the Innovation Fellows. Typical candidates for Innovation Fellows include students, professors, staff, and alumni who are professional innovators or have a passion to become a mentor. The community grows rapidly each semester. As a result, students (especially freshmen) will appreciate the ease of finding information about mentors available in the community through the BoilerDriver website.<br />
<br />
=== '''Publicity''' ===<br />
<br />
BoilerDriver will serve as a mainstream way for students to share their inventions or productions with the university regardless of the project’s academic relation. Student Innovators may submit their project information through the BoilerDriver website. The BoilerDriver team will carefully evaluate the project validity and publicize the invention in relevant forms of media throughout the university. Optionally, if an invention is a major breakthrough, BoilerDriver should have the streamlined ability to empower the student innovator through Purdue’s resources in regards to national and international publicity.<br />
<br />
== '''Our Vision''' ==<br />
<br />
We envision the BoilerDriver Hub to act as the following:<br />
<br />
1. A platform where student innovators are nurtured and motivated to pursue their entrepreneurial dream and develop technologies which have a broad scope and potential to become a big company rather than just licensing the technology to another company.<br />
<br />
2. A space where passionate students work towards disrupting the existing industries and creating revolutionary and global products.<br />
<br />
3. A platform which networks and connects departments, centers, investors, manufacturers and public with student innovators.<br />
<br />
4. A workspace for student innovators to ideate, collaborate, innovate and develop products with a promising business potential.<br />
<br />
5. A channel to beta test the prototypes developed by student innovators to gain consumer feedback and constructive criticism prior to market launch for increasing the success rate of the product/ process.<br />
<br />
6. A place with an innovative and exciting culture for students, faculty and industry partners.<br />
<br />
7. A professional skills development provider. This is obtained by leveraging the talents of BDI student innovators and other collaborations.<br />
<br />
8. A virtual guide for students who are either looking for other student innovators, investors or research projects.<br />
<br />
9. A resource to find students with specific skills for research, technological development, creativity and presentations.<br />

<br />
= Strategies for change =<br />
<br />
== '''Strategy #1: Host Innovation Workshops for Undergraduate Students&nbsp;''' ==<br />
<br />
One of the primary problems that students in the Certificate Program face is coming up with an original business idea. As much focus intitally is placed on profitability and scalability, more creativity needs to be placed on the earlier stages of thought ideation. By providing an Innovation Workshop soley focused on generating ideas, the creative mindset needed to think outside-the-box and make truly progressive changes.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
'''Tactic #1:''' Choose different locations on campus and challenge students to imagine how they can be re-engineering to be a more creative environment. Have students brainstorm together on possible ideas.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
'''Tactic #2:''' Take the 20 Grand Engineering Challenges and ask students how they can create inventions and innovations to help solve these major challenges. Posing these questions would require very large picture thinking and would challenge students to reimage what is possible.'''&nbsp;'''<br />
<br />
== '''Strategy #2: Create Student Ambassadors for Purdue Entrepreneurship '''<br/> ==<br />
<br />
While the Certificate in Entrepreneurship and Innovation Program flourishes on the Purdue Campus, the program could use more reigonal and national recognition. In order to showcase the achievements of the students involved in the program, student ambassadors are needed to represent the program beyond the walls of the University.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
'''Tactic #1:''' Involve students in Regional Entrepreneurial Events. Giving students the opportunity to represent the program at the regional levels with organizations such as VentureClub Indiana, the Indiana Small Business Development Center, and LINK Indiana.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
'''Tactic #2:''' Represent students at major National Conferences. By representing Purdue Students at high profile events, the reputation and prestiege of the program will travel with the student's excellent abilites and accomplishments. The national exposure will aid in the facilitaiton of new partnerships and interest with Purdue University.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
== '''Strategy #3: Develop Key Student Partnerships with Purdue Research Park'''<br/> ==<br />
<br />
While Purdue Research Parks currently have five locations across Indiana and have over 260 companies involved with those locations, the Parks represent tremendous opportunities for students to learn from and become involved with. By having a means for Entrepreneurship students to become invovled with these businesses, further development and innovation could be fostered by utilizing Purdue's own environment of student talent and intelligence.<br />
<br />
'''Tactic #1:''' Develop intern programs with the tech companies for current students. As many of the companies located within the Purdue Research Parks have labratories on premise and are looking for part-time entry level lab assistants, it would be easy to match their needs with the talents of undergraduate and graduate students. This would only require open communication between the Research Parks and the Unveristy Academic Offices.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
'''Tactic #2: '''Create specific networking events for Research Park Companies and current students. By having an opportunity to actively engage with each other, the Research Parks can evaluate the talent and Purdue students offer. Similarly, Students can explore options and opportunties that are available through the Research Parks. '''&nbsp;'''<br />
<br />
== '''Strategy #4: Enhance Cross-Disciplinary Student Interaction in Entrepreneurship'''<br/> ==<br />
<br />
While students are brought together across disciplines in the Certificate in Entrepreneurship and Innovation classes, there still remains a high level of growth for students to work together across majors. Instead of focusing on academic cross-disciplinary research and formal programs, initiatives should be focused more on informal student interactions.<br />
<br />
'''Tactic #1: '''Have specific discipline-targeting days at the student co-working space. While many students in Liberal Arts, Health and Human Sciences, and Agriculture do not see a place for themselves in Entrepreneurship, having a day specifically dedicated to them will make them feel more comfortable with the environment. Also, the interactions that happen at Purdue's student co-working space, The Anvil, will create further interest and create new project ideas.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
'''Tactic #2:'''&nbsp; Brand the student co-working space beyond Entrepreneurship. To appeal to different majors, The Anvil should possibly brand itself as a Thought Creation center for Design, Discovery, Creation, and Communication. By having a larger frame of their purpose, The Anvil can draw students from many different backgrounds instead of just traditional STEM and Management involvement.<br />
<br />
== '''Strategy #5: Organize Entrepreneurial Success and Failure Realities Event'''<br/> ==<br />
<br />
Within the context of the 21st century, Entrepreneurship has been highly romanticized as an easy way to make a living and avoid the corporate lifestyle. Through the influence of the movie The Social Network, the TV series Silicon Valley, and the media surround other Tech Unicorns, many students believe that Entrepreneurship is easy and that every business idea will generate a multi-million dollar income. However, Entrepreneurship is much more challenging and requires an incredible amount of preservance. To emphasize this idea, an event considering the trials of real Entrepreneurship should be available for students to gain a realistic perspective.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />
<br />
'''Tactic #1:''' Dedicate class time to go over strategies for overcoming failures. While this may seem elementary for students, it is critical that they understand how to learn from failure, and how to accordingly recover. This will not only give them greater success in their ventures, but also in all of their personal endevors. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
'''Tactic #2: '''Highlight popular failures of Entrepreneurial Ventures and explain why they were a failure. By using both small businesses and even once successful businesses as case studies, students will understand that no matter what stage of development a venture is at, it has the potential to fail. Recognizing this point will demonstate the importance of always understanding the environment the business have targeted itself towards.<br />
<br />
== Strategy #6: Create a Platform to Connnect Student Innovators ==<br />
<br />
While there are many student innovators around campus, there are many resources available to student innovators and entrepreneurs such as hackathons, clubs, accelerators, open-labs, and co-workspaces. Although going to these places are beneficial, students may still feel disjointed. However, in a large university population, it can be difficult to find mentors, other student innovators, and the right resources. Therefore, there is a need for a platform to connect student innovators.<br />
<br />
'''Tactic #1:&nbsp;'''Create an online login system that allows students to sign up as members. These members get ranked by innovative competency through a survey. Members have the ability to find other student innovators, professors, workspaces, clubs, departments, etc. Members also have the ability to list themselves as a resource to help or mentor others.<br />
<br />
'''Tactic #2:'''&nbsp;Develop a mobile app to locate student innovators nearby. Knowing where student innovators are will help other students better recognize their envirnoment, especially freshmen. Having the right resources will help student innovators accelerate the development of their idea.<br />
<br />
== Strategy #7: Create a Workspace to allow Innovative Project Development ==<br />
<br />
While there are many spaces for students to do homework and studies, these places offer basic furniture such as tables and chairs. Room that can be used by students in buildings include conference rooms, focus booths, and libraries. However, these rooms do not allow students to operate hardware tools or power tools and are not an ideal space for students to keep their equipment. Since many technical majors involve students working with tools, developing hardware prototypes, soldering, and 3D printing enclosures, there is a need for an environment (perhaps a large room or floor of a building) which has tools and equipment dedicated to helping students ideate and bring their idea to life.<br />
<br />
'''Tactic #1:'''&nbsp;Propose a workspace to the appropriate leaders of multiple departments to request for dedicated workspace for student innovators. Some departments may be able to help with finding space around the university.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
'''Tactic #2:'''&nbsp;Propose a dedicated workspace plan to the management of co-working spaces in an attempt to have accomodations for student innovators who have projects that need to stay in one location consistently and require dedicated space on a frequent basis.<br />

= Strategies for change =<br />
<br />
== '''Strategy #1: Host Innovation Workshops for Undergraduate Students&nbsp;''' ==<br />
<br />
One of the primary problems that students in the Certificate Program face is coming up with an original business idea. As much focus intitally is placed on profitability and scalability, more creativity needs to be placed on the earlier stages of thought ideation. By providing an Innovation Workshop soley focused on generating ideas, the creative mindset needed to think outside-the-box and make truly progressive changes.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
'''Tactic #1:''' Choose different locations on campus and challenge students to imagine how they can be re-engineering to be a more creative environment. Have students brainstorm together on possible ideas.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
'''Tactic #2:''' Take the 20 Grand Engineering Challenges and ask students how they can create inventions and innovations to help solve these major challenges. Posing these questions would require very large picture thinking and would challenge students to reimage what is possible.'''&nbsp;'''<br />
<br />
== '''Strategy #2: Create Student Ambassadors for Purdue Entrepreneurship '''<br/> ==<br />
<br />
While the Certificate in Entrepreneurship and Innovation Program flourishes on the Purdue Campus, the program could use more reigonal and national recognition. In order to showcase the achievements of the students involved in the program, student ambassadors are needed to represent the program beyond the walls of the University.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
'''Tactic #1:''' Involve students in Regional Entrepreneurial Events. Giving students the opportunity to represent the program at the regional levels with organizations such as VentureClub Indiana, the Indiana Small Business Development Center, and LINK Indiana.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
'''Tactic #2:''' Represent students at major National Conferences. By representing Purdue Students at high profile events, the reputation and prestiege of the program will travel with the student's excellent abilites and accomplishments. The national exposure will aid in the facilitaiton of new partnerships and interest with Purdue University.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
== '''Strategy #3: Develop Key Student Partnerships with Purdue Research Park'''<br/> ==<br />
<br />
While Purdue Research Parks currently have five locations across Indiana and have over 260 companies involved with those locations, the Parks represent tremendous opportunities for students to learn from and become involved with. By having a means for Entrepreneurship students to become invovled with these businesses, further development and innovation could be fostered by utilizing Purdue's own environment of student talent and intelligence.<br />
<br />
'''Tactic #1:''' Develop intern programs with the tech companies for current students. As many of the companies located within the Purdue Research Parks have labratories on premise and are looking for part-time entry level lab assistants, it would be easy to match their needs with the talents of undergraduate and graduate students. This would only require open communication between the Research Parks and the Unveristy Academic Offices.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
'''Tactic #2: '''Create specific networking events for Research Park Companies and current students. By having an opportunity to actively engage with each other, the Research Parks can evaluate the talent and Purdue students offer. Similarly, Students can explore options and opportunties that are available through the Research Parks. '''&nbsp;'''<br />
<br />
== '''Strategy #4: Enhance Cross-Disciplinary Student Interaction in Entrepreneurship'''<br/> ==<br />
<br />
While students are brought together across disciplines in the Certificate in Entrepreneurship and Innovation classes, there still remains a high level of growth for students to work together across majors. Instead of focusing on academic cross-disciplinary research and formal programs, initiatives should be focused more on informal student interactions.<br />
<br />
'''Tactic #1: '''Have specific discipline-targeting days at the student co-working space. While many students in Liberal Arts, Health and Human Sciences, and Agriculture do not see a place for themselves in Entrepreneurship, having a day specifically dedicated to them will make them feel more comfortable with the environment. Also, the interactions that happen at Purdue's student co-working space, The Anvil, will create further interest and create new project ideas.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
'''Tactic #2:'''&nbsp; Brand the student co-working space beyond Entrepreneurship. To appeal to different majors, The Anvil should possibly brand itself as a Thought Creation center for Design, Discovery, Creation, and Communication. By having a larger frame of their purpose, The Anvil can draw students from many different backgrounds instead of just traditional STEM and Management involvement.<br />
<br />
== '''Strategy #5: Organize Entrepreneurial Success and Failure Realities Event'''<br/> ==<br />
<br />
Within the context of the 21st century, Entrepreneurship has been highly romanticized as an easy way to make a living and avoid the corporate lifestyle. Through the influence of the movie The Social Network, the TV series Silicon Valley, and the media surround other Tech Unicorns, many students believe that Entrepreneurship is easy and that every business idea will generate a multi-million dollar income. However, Entrepreneurship is much more challenging and requires an incredible amount of preservance. To emphasize this idea, an event considering the trials of real Entrepreneurship should be available for students to gain a realistic perspective.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />
<br />
'''Tactic #1:''' Dedicate class time to go over strategies for overcoming failures. While this may seem elementary for students, it is critical that they understand how to learn from failure, and how to accordingly recover. This will not only give them greater success in their ventures, but also in all of their personal endevors. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
'''Tactic #2: '''Highlight popular failures of Entrepreneurial Ventures and explain why they were a failure. By using both small businesses and even once successful businesses as case studies, students will understand that no matter what stage of development a venture is at, it has the potential to fail. Recognizing this point will demonstate the importance of always understanding the environment the business have targeted itself towards.<br />
<br />
== Strategy #6: Create a Platform to Connnect Student Innovators ==<br />
<br />
While there are many student innovators around campus, there are many resources available to student innovators and entrepreneurs such as hackathons, clubs, accelerators, open-labs, and co-workspaces. Although going to these places are beneficial, students may still feel disjointed. However, in a large university population, it can be difficult to find mentors, other student innovators, and the right resources. Therefore, there is a need for a platform to connect student innovators.<br />
<br />
'''Tactic #1:&nbsp;'''Create an online login system that allows students to sign up as members. These members get ranked by innovative competency through a survey. Members have the ability to find other student innovators, professors, workspaces, clubs, departments, etc. Members also have the ability to list themselves as a resource to help or mentor others.<br />
<br />
'''Tactic #2:'''&nbsp;Develop a mobile app to locate student innovators nearby. Knowing where student innovators are will help other students better recognize their envirnoment, especially freshmen. Having the right resources will help student innovators accelerate the development of their idea.<br />
<br />
== Strategy #7: Create a Workspace to allow Innovative Project Development ==<br />
<br />
While there are many spaces for students to do homework and studies, these places offer basic furniture such as tables and chairs. Room that can be used by students in buildings include conference rooms, focus booths, and libraries. However, these rooms do not allow students to operate hardware tools or power tools and are not an ideal space for students to keep their equipment. Since many technical majors involve students working with tools, developing hardware prototypes, soldering, and 3D printing enclosures, there is a need for an environment (perhaps a large room or floor of a building) which has tools and equipment dedicated to helping students ideate and bring their idea to life.<br />
<br />
'''Tactic #1:'''&nbsp;Propose a workspace to the appropriate leaders of multiple departments to request for dedicated workspace for student innovators. Some departments may be able to help with finding space around the university.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
'''Tactic #2:'''&nbsp;Propose a dedicated workspace plan to the management of co-working spaces in an attempt to have accomodations for student innovators who have projects that need to stay in one location consistently and require dedicated space on a frequent basis.<br />

These exigencies are aimed at the success factors associated with a startup in mind. The exigencies are as follows:<br />
<br />
*There is currently no mainstream way to connect student innovators across West Lafayette and other campuses of the Purdue System<br />
*Currently, there are no primary platform for intellectual or relational connections between students from different departments or student-led organizations<br />
*There is little to no collaboration between graduates and undergraduates for innovative projects in non-academic projects.<br />
*There is no university-wide system at Purdue that allows students, faculty and staff to find people with similar and complementary skill-set or interests for short-term as well as long-term projects.&nbsp;<br />
*There is no workspace with state-of-the-art technology platforms&nbsp;dedicated for student innovations and project collaborations, which is aimed for freedom in thinking and execution.&nbsp;<br />
*There is currently no simple way to reach-out and publicize student innovations to the massive population of 37,000 people across the Purdue Campus.&nbsp;<br />
<br />

<br />
Purdue University is the birthplace for a wide range of startups focusing on various applications and platforms. Purdue Research Parks of West Lafayette are home to the largest cluster (nearly 140 companies) of technology-based companies collaborating with industries across the state. As Indiana's first designated certified technology park, the research park and its business acceleration model have received state and national recognition.<br />
<br />
The 725-acre park boasts more than 50 buildings; more than 3,200 employees; 327,000 square feet of business incubation space; and an average wage for startup companies in excess of $63K. Companies that have space at the Purdue Research Park of West Lafayette include 3M, Boeing, General Electric, Rolls Royce, Cook Biotech, Delphi, Dow Agro, and HP Entreprises. Some of the recent and popular ones are&nbsp;<br />

== '''Exigencies''' ==<br />
<br />
According to several student innovators and student organizations at Purdue, we found that there is a disconnection between the Innovation and Commercialization&nbsp;resources and student Innovators. These exigencies are aimed at the success factors associated with a startup in mind. The exigencies are as follows:<br />
<br />
*There is currently no mainstream way to connect student innovators across West Lafayette and other campuses of the Purdue System<br />
*Currently, there are no primary platform for intellectual or relational connections between students from different departments or student-led organizations<br />
*There is little to no collaboration between graduates and undergraduates for innovative projects in non-academic projects.<br />
*There is no university-wide system at Purdue that allows students, faculty and staff to find people with similar and complementary skill-set or interests for short-term as well as long-term projects.&nbsp;<br />
*There is no workspace with state-of-the-art technology platforms&nbsp;dedicated for student innovations and project collaborations, which is aimed for freedom in thinking and execution.&nbsp;<br />
*There is currently no simple way to reach-out and publicize student innovations to the massive population of 37,000 people across the Purdue Campus.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
== '''Our Proposed Solution&nbsp;'''<br/> ==<br />
<br />
After several months of brainstorming, interacting and interviewing with several students across campus, we propose the BoilerDriver initiative. The BoilerDriver is an initiative to connect BoilerMakers across different departments to enhance the Purdue Community and provide a mainstream method for student innovators to gain input from experts and share their output with the world.

== '''Successful Startups'''<br/> ==<br />
<br />
Purdue University is the birthplace for a wide range of startups focusing on various applications and platforms. Purdue Research Parks of West Lafayette are home to the largest cluster (nearly 140 companies) of technology-based companies collaborating with industries across the state. As Indiana's first designated certified technology park, the research park and its business acceleration model have received state and national recognition.<br />
<br />
The 725-acre park boasts more than 50 buildings; more than 3,200 employees; 327,000 square feet of business incubation space; and an average wage for startup companies in excess of $63K. Companies that have space at the Purdue Research Park of West Lafayette include 3M, Boeing, General Electric, Rolls Royce, Cook Biotech, Delphi, Dow Agro, and HP Entreprises. Some of the recent and popular ones are&nbsp;<br />
<br />
*Symic Biomedical Inc.<br />
*SpeechVive Inc.<br />
*Spero Energy Inc.<br />
*DATTUS<br />
*Vibronix Inc.<br />
*Drug Free Therapeutix<br />
*SpeakMODlities<br />
*ZeroUI<br />
*GeniPhys LLC<br />
*AniDyn Inc.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The success of a startup depends on several factors such as<br />
<br />
*Team<br />
*Timing<br />
*Execution<br />
*Funding<br />
*Mentorship<br />
*Innovation<br />
*Research<br />
<br />
== '''Exigencies''' ==<br />
<br />
According to several student innovators and student organizations at Purdue, we found that there is a disconnection between the Innovation and Commercialization&nbsp;resources and student Innovators. These exigencies are aimed at the success factors associated with a startup in mind. The exigencies are as follows:<br />
<br />
*There is currently no mainstream way to connect student innovators across West Lafayette and other campuses of the Purdue System<br />
*Currently, there are no primary platform for intellectual or relational connections between students from different departments or student-led organizations<br />
*There is little to no collaboration between graduates and undergraduates for innovative projects in non-academic projects.<br />
*There is no university-wide system at Purdue that allows students, faculty and staff to find people with similar and complementary skill-set or interests for short-term as well as long-term projects.&nbsp;<br />
*There is no workspace with state-of-the-art technology platforms&nbsp;dedicated for student innovations and project collaborations, which is aimed for freedom in thinking and execution.&nbsp;<br />
*There is currently no simple way to reach-out and publicize student innovations to the massive population of 37,000 people across the Purdue Campus.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
== '''Our Proposed Solution&nbsp;'''<br/> ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">After several months of brainstorming, interacting and interviewing with several students across campus, we propose the BoilerDriver initiative. The BoilerDriver is an initiative to connect BoilerMakers across different departments to enhance the Purdue Community and provide a mainstream method for student innovators to gain input from experts and share their output with the world.

As Indiana's first designated certified technology park, the research park and its business acceleration model have received state and national recognition.<br />
<br />
The 725-acre park boasts more than 50 buildings; more than 3,200 employees; 327,000 square feet of business incubation space; and an average wage for startup companies in excess of $63K. Companies that have space at the Purdue Research Park of West Lafayette include 3M, Boeing, General Electric, Rolls Royce, Cook Biotech, Delphi, Dow Agro, and HP Entreprises. Some of the recent and popular ones are&nbsp;<br />

<br />
== '''Exigencies''' ==<br />
<br />
According to several student innovators and student organizations at Purdue, we found that there is a disconnection between the Innovation and Commercialization&nbsp;resources and student Innovators. These exigencies are aimed at the success factors associated with a startup in mind. The exigencies are as follows:<br />
<br />
*There is currently no mainstream way to connect student innovators across West Lafayette and other campuses of the Purdue System<br />
*Currently, there are no primary platform for intellectual or relational connections between students from different departments or student-led organizations<br />
*There is little to no collaboration between graduates and undergraduates for innovative projects in non-academic projects.<br />
*There is no university-wide system at Purdue that allows students, faculty and staff to find people with similar and complementary skill-set or interests for short-term as well as long-term projects.&nbsp;<br />
*There is no workspace with state-of-the-art technology platforms&nbsp;dedicated for student innovations and project collaborations, which is aimed for freedom in thinking and execution.&nbsp;<br />
*There is currently no simple way to reach-out and publicize student innovations to the massive population of 37,000 people across the Purdue Campus.&nbsp;<br />

== '''Successful Startups'''<br/> ==<br />
<br />
Purdue University is the birthplace for a wide range of startups focusing on various applications and platforms. Purdue Research Parks of West Lafayette are home to the largest cluster (100+) of technology-based companies collaborating with industries across the state. As Indiana's first designated certified technology park, the research park and its business acceleration model have received state and national recognition.<br />
<br />
The 725-acre park boasts more than 50 buildings; more than 3,200 employees; 327,000 square feet of business incubation space; and an average wage for startup companies in excess of $63K. Companies that have space at the Purdue Research Park of West Lafayette include 3M, Boeing, General Electric, Rolls Royce, Cook Biotech, Delphi, Dow Agro, and HP Entreprises. Some of the recent and popular ones are&nbsp;<br />
<br />
*Symic Biomedical Inc.<br />
*SpeechVive Inc.<br />
*Spero Energy Inc.<br />
*DATTUS<br />
*Vibronix Inc.<br />
*Drug Free Therapeutix<br />
*SpeakMODlities<br />
*ZeroUI<br />
*GeniPhys LLC<br />
*AniDyn Inc.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The success of a startup depends on several factors such as<br />
<br />
*Team<br />
*Timing<br />
*Execution<br />
*Funding<br />
*Mentorship<br />
*Innovation<br />
<br />
== '''Exigencies''' ==<br />
<br />
According to several student innovators and student organizations at Purdue, we found that there is a disconnection between the Innovation and Commercialization&nbsp;resources and student Innovators. These exigencies are aimed at the success factors associated with a startup in mind. The exigencies are as follows:<br />
<br />
*There is currently no mainstream way to connect student innovators across West Lafayette and other campuses of the Purdue System<br />
*Currently, there are no primary platform for intellectual or relational connections between students from different departments or student-led organizations<br />
*There is little to no collaboration between graduates and undergraduates for innovative projects in non-academic projects.<br />
*There is no university-wide system at Purdue that allows students, faculty and staff to find people with similar and complementary skill-set or interests for short-term as well as long-term projects.&nbsp;<br />
*There is no workspace with state-of-the-art technology platforms&nbsp;dedicated for student innovations and project collaborations, which is aimed for freedom in thinking and execution.&nbsp;<br />
*There is currently no simple way to reach-out and publicize student innovations to the massive population of 37,000 people across the Purdue Campus.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
== '''Our Proposed Solution'''<br/> ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 12px;">After several months of brainstorming, interacting and interviewing with several students across campus, we propose the BoilerDriver initiative. The BoilerDriver is an initiative to connect BoilerMakers across different departments to enhance the Purdue Community and provide a mainstream method for student innovators to gain input from experts and share their output with the world.

<br />
== '''Our Proposed Solution<br/><br/>''' ==<br />
After several months of brainstorming, interacting and interviewing with several students across campus, we propose the BoilerDriver initiative. The BoilerDriver is an initiative to connect BoilerMakers across different departments to enhance the Purdue Community and provide a mainstream method for student innovators to gain input from experts and share their output with the world. More details about our solution can be found at our[http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Purdue_University_Strategic_Priorities Purdue Strategic Priorities page] and on our [http://boilerdriver.com BoilerDriver website].&nbsp;<br />

== '''Successful Startups'''<br/> ==<br />
<br />
Purdue University is the birthplace for a wide range of startups focusing on various applications and platforms. Purdue Research Parks of West Lafayette are home to the largest cluster (100+) of technology-based companies collaborating with industries across the state. As Indiana's first designated certified technology park, the research park and its business acceleration model have received state and national recognition.<br />
<br />
The 725-acre park boasts more than 50 buildings; more than 3,200 employees; 327,000 square feet of business incubation space; and an average wage for startup companies in excess of $63K. Companies that have space at the Purdue Research Park of West Lafayette include 3M, Boeing, General Electric, Rolls Royce, Cook Biotech, Delphi, Dow Agro, and HP Entreprises. Some of the recent and popular ones are&nbsp;<br />
<br />
*Symic Biomedical Inc.<br />

*Spero Energy Inc.<br />
*DATTUS<br />
*Vibronix Inc.<br />
*Drug Free Therapeutix<br />
*SpeakMODlities<br />
*ZeroUI<br />
*GeniPhys LLC<br />

The success of a startup depends on several factors such as<br />
<br />
*Team<br />
*Timing<br />
*Execution<br />
*Funding<br />
*Mentorship<br />
*Innovation<br />
<br />
== '''Exigencies''' ==<br />
<br />
According to several student innovators and student organizations at Purdue, we found that there is a disconnection between the Innovation and Commercialization&nbsp;resources and student Innovators. These exigencies are aimed at the success factors associated with a startup in mind. The exigencies are as follows:<br />
<br />
*There is currently no mainstream way to connect student innovators across West Lafayette and other campuses of the Purdue System<br />
*Currently, there are no primary platform for intellectual or relational connections between students from different departments or student-led organizations<br />
*There is little to no collaboration between graduates and undergraduates for innovative projects in non-academic projects.<br />
*There is no university-wide system at Purdue that allows students, faculty and staff to find people with similar and complementary skill-set or interests for short-term as well as long-term projects.&nbsp;<br />
*There is no workspace with state-of-the-art technology platforms&nbsp;dedicated for student innovations and project collaborations, which is aimed for freedom in thinking and execution.&nbsp;<br />

After extensive research and analysis, we found the several exigencies at Purdue Universaity in association with Innovation and Commercialization. These exigencies are aimed with the success factors associated with a startup in mind. The exigencies are as follows:<br />
<br />
*There is currently no mainstream way to connect student innovators across West Lafayette and other campuses of the Purdue System<br />
*Currently, there are no primary platform for intellectual or relational connections between students from different departments or student-led organizations<br />
*There is little to no collaboration between graduates and undergraduates for innovative projects in non-academic projects.<br />
*There is no university-wide system at Purdue that allows students, faculty and staff to find people with similar and complementary skill-set or interests for short-term as well as long-term projects.&nbsp;<br />
*There is no workspace with state-of-the-art technology platforms&nbsp;dedicated for student innovations and project collaborations, which is aimed for freedom in thinking and execution.&nbsp;<br />
*There is currently no simple way to reach-out and publicize student innovations to the massive population of 37,000 people across the Purdue Campus.&nbsp;<br />

Purdue University is the birthplace for a wide range of startups focusing on various applications and platforms. Purdue Research Parks of West Lafayette are home to the largest cluster (100+) of technology-based companies collaborating with industries across the state. As Indiana's first designated certified technology park, the research park and its business acceleration model have received state and national recognition.<br />
<br />
The 725-acre park boasts more than 50 buildings; more than 3,200 employees; 327,000 square feet of business incubation space; and an average wage for startup companies in excess of $63K. Companies that have space at the Purdue Research Park of West Lafayette include 3M, Boeing, General Electric, Rolls Royce, Cook Biotech, Delphi, Dow Agro, and HP Entreprises. Some of the recent and popular ones are&nbsp;<br />

== '''Exigencies''' ==<br />
<br />
After extensive research and analysis, we found the several exigencies at Purdue Universaity in association with Innovation and Commercialization. These exigencies are aimed with the success factors associated with a startup in mind. The exigencies are as follows:<br />
<br />
*There is currently no mainstream way to connect student innovators across West Lafayette and other campuses of the Purdue System<br />
*Currently, there are no primary platform for intellectual or relational connections between students from different departments or student-led organizations<br />
*There is little to no collaboration between graduates and undergraduates for innovative projects in non-academic projects.<br />
*There is no university-wide system at Purdue that allows students, faculty and staff to find people with similar and complementary skill-set or interests for short-term as well as long-term projects.&nbsp;<br />
*There is no workspace with state-of-the-art technology platforms&nbsp;dedicated for student innovations and project collaborations, which is aimed for freedom in thinking and execution.&nbsp;<br />
*There is currently no simple way to reach-out and publicize student innovations to the massive population of 37,000 people across the Purdue Campus.&nbsp;<br />

<br />
== '''Exigencies''' ==<br />
<br />
After extensive research and analysis, we found the following exigencies at Purdue Universaity in association with Innovation and Commercialization: *There is currently no mainstream way to connect student innovators across West Lafayette and other campuses of the Purdue System *Currently, there are no primary platform for intellectual or relational connections between students from different departments or student-led organizations *There is little to no collaboration between graduates and undergraduates for innovative projects in non-academic projects. *There is no university-wide system at Purdue that allows students, faculty and staff to find people with similar and complementary skill-set or interests for short-term as well as long-term projects.&nbsp; *There is no workspace with state-of-the-art technology platforms&nbsp;dedicated for student innovations and project collaborations, which is aimed for freedom in thinking and execution.&nbsp; *There is currently no mainstream method to reach-out and publicize to the massive population of 37,000 people across the Purdue Campus.&nbsp;<br />
