= Encouraging Collaboration Between Engineering and Business =

Engineers tend to be interested in innovation, but do not have interest in entrepreneurship and would rather pass this responsibility on to someone else. This separation of interests is not inherently problematic as members of teams typically have different areas of expertise and engineers and business people can have great success founding companies together. The issue on campus is that there is very little collaboration between these fields. Technical clubs and business clubs do not interact much.

This organization would exist to share opportunities between the many clubs that they would otherwise would not know about. The council would meet once per month in setting where members could meet each other and make connections. The council could put on a beginning of the year showcase where each groups can come present their projects and look for collaborators.

'''Project 1: Innovation Council to Organize Innovation Centric RSOs'''

= Eliminating Fear of Judgment =

On campus we have found many students have a fear of judgment. This is evident by watching a lecture.  Students during the lecture will not answering questions when the answer is obvious. This fear translates into not coming up with new innovative ideas. The students body is afraid that someone may think their idea is sill or will not work. Since the students are so afraid it decreases all of the schools innovation and entrepreneurship.

'''Project 2: Set up a 10,000 pitch day. Everyone on campus is forced to talk about an idea they are passionate about. The pitch can be a startup or a change you want to see.  During a few hours of the day everyone will be forced to talk about their idea. This will help the students get over their fear of being judged.'''

= Fostering an Environment and Influence Among Peers =

It's quite a known fact that environment has a large influence on students and the way they might approach activities outside of the classroom. Focusing on the environment within UD, we believe that students need to be surrounded by the peers that strive to do that same things they aim to do. Whether that's excel in the classroom, to start a new RSO, or to pursure groundbreaking research, we believe that you become the average of the top 5 people that you hang out with. As a result, we'd like to propose an initiative that would provide a place for students to immerse themselves among peers they want to be influenced by in their area of interest, an environment where students feel as if they were all working towards similar goals and shared ambitions. 

'''Project 3: Revive the Delaware Design Institute and develop progress in moving it forward. We believe that the DDI is a place for students to pursue and explore interdisciplinary collaboration, a place to understand and employ design processes on impactful projects. The DDI will serve as an institute that supports, promotes, and fosters design as a tool to interdisciplinary collaboration.'''
<div>Milestones</div>
*Re-establish the steering committee and committed faculty along with administrative support
*Begin re-recognition of DDI as a campus initiative
*Secure a space on campus to act as the grounds and head space for DDI
*Ensure the Integrated Design Minor courses are available for students to participate and take

= Promoting student innovation and entrepreneurship  =

Student innovation and entrepreneurship is encouraged in select fields, namely business and sometime engineering. Outside of these fields, students don’t seem to think there is a need to be innovative and entrepreneurial. The classes listed above show strong entrepreneurial emphases. In all of them, students create new product or business ideas and develop over the course of the semester by talking to potential consumers. While this is promising for business students, engineering students tend to see themselves as innovators and oftentimes have little interest in the business aspect. Engineering students were extremely interested in innovation and recognized it was a skill required of them. Students have a basic awareness that there are resources on campus for them, if they are interested in pursuing entrepreneurship.
<div> </div>
= Encouraging faculty innovation and entrepreneurship =

The Office of Economic Innovation Partnerships (OEIP) plays a significant role in assisting faculty members with innovation. Faculty members are also allowed to take a day every week to work on their own ideas, which could potentially lead to product innovation, a startup or a licensing opportunity. OEIP also provides assistance with training related to SBIR (Small Business Innovation Research) and STTR (Small Business Technology Transfer) grant application process. OEIP is working on making their online interface easier for faculty members to navigate.

Faculty members are excited and passionate about innovation, but do need assistance when it comes to exploring the commercial viability of an idea or a product. Besides OEIP, the University of Delaware library offers access to latest data related to industry research, marketing research and small business and entrepreneurship. This resource is useful to evaluate the viability of an idea.

Faculty members are also encouraged to present their ideas and prototypes during the “Entrepreneurship and Risk: Meeting the Challenges” course (listed as MSEG 425). The course is attended by a group of engineering and business majors who develop a business plan for the faculty members to pursue it further.

= Actively supporting the university technology transfer function =

= Facilitating University-Industry Collaboration =

The Delaware technology park offers a space for new and companies to work. Star campus is home to the universities rehab centers and health science laboratories. With the completion of the new building startups and small companies will be able to lease the space as a office.  Leading Edge Venture, First State Innovation, Vital venture Capital, and Yet2ventures are all possible outside financial resources students can contact for investments. A good mentor network can be found by either talking to a Horn Advisory Board member or a Lerner Executive Mentor.

= Engaging with regional and local economic development efforts =

 The Small Business Development Center is a potential resource for new businesses to go and get helpful advising. Along with advising they can help them get a space in the Delaware technology park. Also, the Office of Economic Innovation and Partnerships will help contracted faculty obtain IP and help commercialize potentially viable ideas. These benefits are not directed toward students. Undergraduate students who are not contracted with the University can get limited support from the OEIP.

Engineering students were extremely interested in innovation and recognized it was a skill required of them. Students have a basic awareness that there are resources on campus for them, if they are interested in pursuing entrepreneurship. This separation of interests is not inherently problematic as members of teams typically have different areas of expertise and engineers and business people can have great success founding companies together. The issue on campus is that there is very little collaboration between these fields. Technical clubs and business clubs do not interact much

Encouraging faculty innovation and entrepreneurship

The Office of Economic Innovation Partnerships (OEIP) plays a significant role in assisting faculty members with innovation. Faculty members are also allowed to take a day every week to work on their own ideas, which could potentially lead to product innovation, a startup or a licensing opportunity. OEIP also provides assistance with training related to SBIR (Small Business Innovation Research) and STTR (Small Business Technology Transfer) grant application process. OEIP is working on making their online interface easier for faculty members to navigate.

Faculty members are excited and passionate about innovation, but do need assistance when it comes to exploring the commercial viability of an idea or a product. Besides OEIP, the University of Delaware library offers access to latest data related to industry research, marketing research and small business and entrepreneurship. This resource is useful to evaluate the viability of an idea.

Faculty members are also encouraged to present their ideas and prototypes during the “Entrepreneurship and Risk: Meeting the Challenges” course (listed as MSEG 425). The course is attended by a group of engineering and business majors who develop a business plan for the faculty members to pursue it further. Actively supporting the university technology transfer function

Your research about IP policies in "Pursue" in the Landscape Canvas will give you a view into the resources your technology transfer office provides. Include this overview in "Actively supporting the university technology transfer function". Facilitating University-Industry Collaboration

The Delaware technology park offers a space for new and companies to work. Star campus is home to the universities rehab centers and health science laboratories. With the completion of the new building startups and small companies will be able to lease the space as a office.  Leading Edge Venture, First State Innovation, Vital venture Capital, and Yet2ventures are all possible outside financial resources students can contact for investments. A good mentor network can be found by either talking to a Horn Advisory Board member or a Lerner Executive Mentor. Engaging with regional and local economic development efforts
 The Small Business Development Center is a potential resource for new businesses to go and get helpful advising. Along with advising they can help them get a space in the Delaware technology park. Also, the Office of Economic Innovation and Partnerships will help contracted faculty obtain IP and help commercialize potentially viable ideas. These benefits are not directed toward students. Undergraduate students who are not contracted with the University can get limited support from the OEIP.</li>

Student innovation and entrepreneurship is encouraged in select fields, namely business and sometime engineering. Outside of these fields, students don’t seem to think there is a need to be innovative and entrepreneurial. The classes listed above show strong entrepreneurial emphases. In all of them, students create new product or business ideas and develop over the course of the semester by talking to potential consumers.

<li></li>
<li>'''Encouraging faculty innovation and entrepreneurship''' While it doesn't seem as though it directly impacts you, the extent to which faculty are encouraged to innovate and pursue entrepreneurial pathways ''really does'' help determine the extent to which they will encourage students to explore their innovative and entrepreneurial potential. Encouragement at the faculty level is one of the things that differentiates more developed I&E ecosystems. Under the "Encouraging faculty innovation and entrepreneurship" category, please provide a succinct view of whether faculty are supported to be entrepreneurial or commercialize their research.</li>

Zachary Jones is an Entrepreneurship and Technology Innovation major at the University of Delaware. He is passionate about connecting student entrepreneurs and innovators on campus through the Entrepreneurship Club. As the president of this organization, he and the club encourage creativity, [[File:Zachary Jones Headshot Square small.jpeg|thumb|Zachary Jones Headshot Square small.jpeg]]problem solving and interaction with a variety of activities. He works with the Executive Board and brings in entrepreneurs to speak to the club about their experiences and to connect with ambitious students. 

Zachary interned for a Calypso Communications where he learned about PR, marketing and content curation. He took these skills to Starting-11, a financial tech startup, and helped shape their digital marketing strategy. He researched competitors and found relevant content for the company to share. He’s recently fallen in love with writing on Medium and regularly blogs about business, ideas and lessons he’s learned. 

His passion for tennis and the power of sports led him to start a tennis camp in his town. He has since engaged more than 100 children over the course of the past two summers and taught them the basic skills of the game. 

In his free time, Zachary’s curiosity leads him to research new technologies. He has a particular interest in bitcoin, web development and design. To stay active, he enjoys playing soccer, tennis and basketball and surfing along the coast of New Hampshire and Maine.
