<br/>'''1) IdeaSpace ''' - 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 go going forth into the myriad of other labs and spaces on campus for more in -depth prototyping. 2) Engage Underclassmen - Underclassmen have the highest probability of being interested in Innovation and Entrepreneurship.&nbsp; Freshmen enter college with a clear outlook on 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 inspires their dreams that will fuel these actions. 3) STEM Research and B-School Integration - Our business school is very active on the entrepreneurship side.&nbsp; We have an entrepreneurship major and minor as well as a very active Enactus chapter that meets each week.&nbsp; There are a number of businesses started by business students each year.&nbsp; There is quite a bit of separation between the business school and the STEM disciplines, however.&nbsp; The goal of this strategy is to provide a means of allowing business students to build hands-on-experience in applying business practices within a scientific or engineering background.&nbsp; It will also allow researchers the exposure to entrepreneurship.

4'''2) Change IP rules for students Engage Underclassmen''' - The rules regarding IP are one size fits all at Hampton University right nowUnderclassmen have the highest probability of being interested in innovation and entrepreneurship.&nbsp; Anything created while Freshmen enter college with a student or faculty member is on campus or utilizing University resources belongs to clear outlook of the universitylearning possibilities and endless opportunities that await them.&nbsp; This policy allows the University time is ripe for them to be exposed to keep 100% of 0.&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 culture that encourages them to go forth do, and help each other succeedalso inspires the dreams that will fuel these actions.

5'''3) Industry partners bringing in RSTEM Research and B-School Integration''' - Our School of Business is very active on the entrepreneurship side.&D projects nbsp; We have an entrepreneurship major and minor, as prototype challenges for well as a very active [http://enactus.org/ Enactus] chapter that meets each week.&nbsp; There are a number of businesses started by business students - We want students to get accustomed to doingeach year.&nbsp; We do not want someone who may not be able to express their innovative ideas yet to not be able to participateHowever, there is quite a bit of separation between the School of Business and the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines.&nbsp; To The goal of this end, we'd like strategy is to involve our industry partners in such provide a way that they can bring ideas means for things they need done and we can allow allowing business students to create prototypes to address those needsgain hands-on-experience in applying business practices with a scientific or engineering background.&nbsp; This It will allow everyone also give researchers exposure to participate, even those who haven't tapped into their inner innovator yet.&nbsp; Barriers to entry need to be minimized as much as possibleentrepreneurship.

6'''4) Courses and Programs Change Intellectual Property (IP) Rules for Students''' - The rules regarding IP are one-size-fits- all at Hampton University has programs and courses already that address innovation and entrepreneurshipright now.&nbsp; We still could use some moreAnything created while a student or faculty member is on campus, or utilizing university resources, belongs to the university.&nbsp; One exmaple This policy allows the university to keep 100% of how this is being addressed is a new Software Innovation course within Computer Science0.&nbsp; Created with This plan incorporates ways in which the help student, faculty and university each get a share of my Department Chair (Jean A. Muhammad)ideas/companies grown from within, this course will be available for student enrollment in Spring 2015so then everyone is motivated to go forth and help each other succeed.

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.

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

*Committee consisting of myself, Eric J. Sheppard (Dean of Engineering and Technology), Calvin Lowe (Dean of Science)As our semester ends in three weeks,Trina Coleman (Assistant Provost of Technology) we expect to have the activities and Otsebele Nare (Director methods of Business of Engineering) has been meeting weekly since early February and completing actionable items on this as well as all other strategies regarding Innovation and Entrepreneurship on campusengagement ready for the Fall semester to greet our students.

*As our semester ends in three weeks, we expect to have the activities and methods of engagement ready for Fall Semester to greet our students. ----

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 on how projects would be submitted , and the process for team selection.

*Currently creating lists of projects , so that the first project can be submitted to the School of Business School.

*Will beta-test the process this Summer.
