Overview
The Innovation and Entrepreneurship ecosystem at North Dakota State University could best be described as being in an incubation state. A workable amount of resources are present, with a number of key resources, tools, and programs at various stages of planning and implementation that will allow the campus environment to flourish.
There are a number of positive aspects to the campus that students can make use of.
Strategy #1:
Strategy #3: Creating a More Applied, Hands on, Undergraduate Experience
Strategy #4 Opening up Lab spaces for all Engineering Majors
Students need a work to develop their ideas. The college of Engineering has a number of labs with space, materials and equipment to further these ideas but they are not open to all NDSU students and even other Engineering students. The only way to get into many of the labs is to go in during business hours and be of that particular major. Allowing any Engineering student to access these labs would help provide a starter innovation space and show need for one in the future.
Tactic #1- Develop more connections between various engineering majors (Senior Design, ect) to encourage students not as far in the program to begin working in other labs from an earlier date
Description- Form bonds between all majors under the College of Engineering
Team Leaders
- Univ 189 Professors
- Academic Advisors
- Senior Design Adviors
Milestones
- Convince the Dean of Engineering and department heads that it is beneficial to get outside of their specific major
- Form more interdisciplinary senior designs
- Develop strong ties between majors
Tactic #2 Open up Computer Labs for all majors
Description- Allow key card access to all engineering computer labs by all engineering students
Team Leaders
- Lab Instructors
- IT Department
- UIF Students
Milestones
- Gain computer lab access
Tactic #3 Open up Technical Labs for all majors
Decription- Open technical labs like the IME, ME, EE, AG, and other labs so any Engineering major can enter them
Team Leaders
- Lab Instructors
- Department Heads
- UIF Students
- Students
Milestones
- Allow students to work in labs during business hours (8-5)
- Look into getting off hours lab space for weeknights and weekends for students to get into the current lab
University Wide Involvement Whitepages
There is a large number of organizations on and off campus that are beneficial to innovation and entrepreneaurship. NDSU overhauled its organization database recently but it is not all inclusive the and search button does not work like it should. The other issue is that it does not tie into the community. The Fargo/Moorhead area has a strong I&E culture but there is no easy way for students to search and see what is available.
Tactic #1-Pull together resources on campus
Goal-Create a wiki-based whitepage style repository of all innovative and entreprenearistic events on campus and in the community.
Tactic- Create a wiki page for the university organizations
Tactic- Compile a list of current on campus activities and allow students to add or edit activites as needed
