<span style="font-size:x-large"br/>'''The Six Strategies1) IdeaSpace'''</span>- This collaborative space is being created with the idea in mind of it being an area in which students across all disciplines can come and just be.&nbsp; The focus is more on idea-generation and collaboration with only low resolution, basic prototyping.&nbsp; The intention here is to have this area be a feeder that will see students generating ideas with others, branching out of their comfort zones, and then going forth into the myriad of other labs and spaces on campus for more in-depth prototyping.

1'''2) IdeaSpace Engage Underclassmen''' - This collaborative space is being created with Underclassmen have the idea highest probability of being an area interested in which students across all disciplines can come innovation and just beentrepreneurship.&nbsp; The focus is more on idea generation Freshmen enter college with a clear outlook of the learning possibilities and collaboration with only low resolution, basic prototypingendless opportunities that await them.&nbsp; The intention here This time is ripe for them to have this area be exposed to a feeder culture that will see students generating ideas with others out of their comfort zones encourages them to do, and then go forth into also inspires the myriad of other labs and spaces on campus for more in depth prototypingdreams that will fuel these actions.

2'''3) Engage Underclassmen STEM Research and B-School Integration''' - Underclassmen Our School of Business is very active on the entrepreneurship side.&nbsp; We have the highest probability an entrepreneurship major and minor, as well as a very active [http://enactus.org/ Enactus] chapter that meets each week.&nbsp; There are a number of being interested in Innovation and Entrepreneurshipbusinesses started by business students each year.&nbsp; Freshmen enter college with However, there is quite a clear outlook on bit of separation between the School of Business and the learning possibilities science, technology, engineering and endless opportunities that await themmathematics (STEM) disciplines.&nbsp; This time The goal of this strategy is ripe to provide a means for them to be exposed allowing business students to gain hands-on-experience in applying business practices with a culture that encourages them scientific or engineering background.&nbsp; It will also give researchers exposure to do and inspires their dreams that will fuel these actionsentrepreneurship.

3'''4) STEM Research and BChange Intellectual Property (IP) Rules for Students''' - The rules regarding IP are one-size-School Integration fits- Our business school is very active on the entrepreneurship sideall at Hampton University right now.&nbsp; We have an entrepreneurship major and minor as well as Anything created while a very active Enactus chapter that meets each weekstudent or faculty member is on campus, or utilizing university resources, belongs to the university.&nbsp; There are a number This policy allows the university to keep 100% of businesses started by business students each year0.&nbsp; There is quite a bit of separation between This plan incorporates ways in which the business school student, faculty and the STEM disciplines, however.&nbsp; The goal of this strategy is to provide university each get a means share of allowing business students to build hands-on-experience in applying business practices ideas/companies grown from within a scientific or engineering background.&nbsp; It will also allow researchers the exposure , so then everyone is motivated to entrepreneurshipgo forth and help each other succeed.

4'''5) Change IP rules Industry Partners Bringing in R&D Projects as Prototype Challenges for Students''' - We want students - The rules regarding IP are one size fits all at Hampton University right nowto get accustomed to doing.&nbsp; We do not want someone who may not be able to express their innovative ideas yet to be excluded from participation.&nbsp; Anything created while To this end, we'd like to involve our industry partners in such a student or faculty member is on campus or utilizing University resources belongs way that they can bring ideas for things they need done, and then we can help students create prototypes to the universityaddress those needs.&nbsp; This policy allows the University will allow everyone to keep 100% of 0participate, even those who haven't tapped into their inner innovator yet.&nbsp; This plan incorporates ways in which the student, faculty and university gets a share of ideas/companies grown from within so everyone is motivated Barriers to entry need to go forth and help each other succeedbe minimized as much as possible.

5) Industry partners bringing in R&D projects as prototype challenges for students - We want students to get accustomed to doing.&nbsp; We do not want someone who may not be able to express their innovative ideas yet to not be able to participate.&nbsp; To this end, we'd like to involve our industry partners in such a way that they can bring ideas for things they need done and we can allow students to create prototypes to address those needs.&nbsp; This will allow everyone to participate, even those who haven't tapped into their inner innovator yet.&nbsp; Barriers to entry need to be minimized as much as possible. '6) Courses and Programs ''' - Hampton University has programs and courses already that address innovation and entrepreneurship.&nbsp; We could still could use some more.&nbsp; One exmaple of how this is being addressed is the creation of a new Software Innovation course within the Computer Sciencecurriculum.&nbsp; Created with the help of my Department Chair (, Jean A. Muhammad), this course will be available for student enrollment in Spring 2015.

Description: Underclassmen have the highest probability of being interested in Innovation innovation and Entrepreneurshipentrepreneurship.&nbsp; Freshmen enter college with a clear outlook on of the learning possibilities and endless opportunities that await them.&nbsp; This time is ripe for them to be exposed to a culture that encourages them to do , and also inspires their the dreams that will fuel these actions.

a) Prototype activities - Prototype activities are seen as any manner of action in which students are able to do something.&nbsp; This can manifest itself as in things as simple as : written lists or drawings on paper or whiteboard that can be iterated upon, test code snippets or mock-ups to express an idea for an app, Raspberry Pi or Arduino creations or any manner of expression from any discipline. A number of things can be done in this area.

b) We can have students gather in Leadership Circle meetings and have themed activities such as Build Nights, Creative Thinking creative thinking workshops, Collaborative Thinking collaborative thinking through team-building games and more.

c) We can co-sponsor activities to be held during meetings for established student organizations on campus that , which will allow us to have targeted activities to reach out directly to specific disciplinary demographics that would be helpful to will support the movement.

d) Competitions - This category is where Hackathons, Business Plan competitions, Demo Days, Robotic Competitions, etc . come in.&nbsp; This will allow the skills learned from the weekly meetings of the Leadership Circle and the other organizations we're cross-pollinating with to be put to the test so that the greater campus and community at -large can see what is going on with the movement.

*Initial Leadership Council has been formed and students have convened. *Faculty across multiple disciplines, and from a variety of schools across campus, have been brought on board to be part of the movement, and to share in engaging students.&nbsp; Passionate faculty with patent experience, extensive research experience or extensive industry experience have been, and are continuously being, sought after to participate in this regard. *Committee consisting of myself, Eric J. Sheppard (Dean of Engineering and Technology), Calvin Lowe (Dean of Science),Trina Coleman (Assistant Provost of Technology) and Otsebele Nare (Director of Business of Engineering) has been meeting weekly since early February to complete actionable items in regards to this, as well as all other strategies regarding innovation and entrepreneurship on campus.

*Faculty across multiple disciplines As our semester ends in three weeks, we expect to have the activities and schools across campus have been brought on board to be part methods of engagement ready for the movement and Fall semester to share in engaging greet our students.&nbsp; Passionate faculty with patent experience, extensive research experience or extensive industry experience were and are continuously being sought after to participate in this regard.   ----

Description: Our business school School of Business is very active on the entrepreneurship side.&nbsp; We have an entrepreneurship major and minor , as well as a very active &nbsp;Enactus &nbsp;chapter that meets each week.&nbsp; There are a number of businesses started by business students each year.&nbsp; There However, there is quite a bit of separation between the business school School of Business and the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM ) disciplines, however.&nbsp; The goal of this strategy is to provide a means of for allowing business students to build gain hands-on-experience in applying business practices within with a scientific or engineering background.&nbsp; It will also allow give researchers the exposure to entrepreneurship.

a) Current research projects within the School of Science or School of Engineering and Technology will have descriptions , including information such as:

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;i) Basic research, description of research, similarity to (or correlations with ) commercialized products in the marketplace, expected research completion date, what the researchers <br/>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; expect to know/have completed upon completion date, etc.

b) Dean of the School of Business and , students, faculty and administrators within the school will put together a team of 1 industry partner and 2-3 business school students to attach to the research team.

c) This business school School of Business team will work with the research team to come up with possible ways of transitioning from basic research to commercialization.

d) If a viable commercialized solution is created, a business will be formed , and seed money from the school School of business Business will be used to fund this transition.

a) School of Business school students are able to learn more about the fields that they will more -than -likely be applying their business skills to upon after graduation.&nbsp; They will see how to analyze the market and find ways of taking unfinished, basic research and finding a way , or ways, it can could address a problem for a wide number of people.

b) Scientists and engineers will be able to gain experience in learning how to build businesses around the solutions they're creating in the lab.&nbsp; This will allow them to gain an entrepreneurial mindset that , which can often be missing from those students with STEM backgrounds.

c) Business industry partners will be able to observe and see firsthand how business students are coming up with ways to monetize solutions within science and engineering.&nbsp; Meanwhile, industry partners that are on the R&D side can see how the engineers and scientists are working through their process R&D processes not only in the lab , but also working on the creative side that looks outside the lab. This allows people to look at how a simple idea can go from basic tinkering and prototyping to having a huge impact.

*Approached Sid H. Credle (Dean of the School of Business) about the idea. *Prototyped with Dean Credle how projects would be submitted, and the process for team selection. *Currently creating lists of projects, so the first project can be submitted to the School of Business. *Will beta-test the process this Summer. == Related Links<br/> ==
