Changes

Our universities always ask the best from us, pushing us to our limits, to the edge of our mental and physical boundaries... I say it is our turn to ask the same from them! Projects 1 and 5 are of highest priority and will be implemented immediately, whereas Projects 2-4 and 6 are task that will be ongoing and will supplement the success of Projects 1 and 2. All projects would benefit the school, but will have a better success rate if each are focused on individually. Once one or two programs launch and are successful then the group can move on to the other projects. Spring 2017

This guide will be physically in the engineering building and online. In the guide, the method for getting a part fabricated will be outlined. Many students do not know the process for getting a part approved and fabricated. {| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"|-| style="width:221px;height:48px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">'''<u>MILESTONE</u>'''</p>| style="width:221px;height:48px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">'''<u>PROJECTED DATE</u>'''</p>|-| style="width:221px;height:48px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">Determine resources available</p>| style="width:221px;height:48px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">October 2018</p>|-| style="width:221px;height:48px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">Collaborate with lab supervisor</p>| style="width:221px;height:48px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">October 2018- November 2018</p>|-| style="width:221px;height:48px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">Create guide</p>| style="width:221px;height:48px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">December 2018</p>|-| style="width:221px;height:48px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">Develop web version</p>| style="width:221px;height:48px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">January 2019</p>|-| style="width:221px;height:48px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">Publicize guide</p>| style="width:221px;height:48px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">February 2019 - April 2019</p>|-| style="width:221px;height:48px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">Develop maintenance plan</p>| style="width:221px;height:48px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">April 2019 - May 2019</p>|} &nbsp; '''&nbsp;<u>Project Two: Innovation studio for all the student body</u>''' Design an innovation that is easily accessible to the student body. Currently there are two innovation labs, one is on the third floor of the engineering building and the other is on the third floor of the library. The innovation lab on the third floor of the library is unknown to many students. The innovation lab in the engineering building is open to engineering student when it is staffed. The engineering lab is rarely used for personal projects and innovation. The goal is to relocate the lab while consolidating the two labs. {| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"|-| style="width:230px;height:29px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">'''<u>MILESTONE</u>'''</p>| style="height:29px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">'''<u>PROJECTED DATE</u>'''</p>|-| style="width:230px;height:48px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">Meet with previous UIF</p>| style="height:48px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">October 2018</p>|-| style="width:230px;height:48px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">Feasibility study</p>| style="height:48px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">October 2018 – November 2018</p>|-| style="width:230px;height:48px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">Consult with faculty, investors, deans, and the provost</p>| style="height:48px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">November 2018</p>|-| style="width:230px;height:48px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">Plan new lab</p>| style="height:48px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">December 2018 – January 2019</p>|-| style="width:230px;height:48px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">Secure funding</p>| style="height:48px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">January 2019</p>|-| style="width:230px;height:48px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">Gather a team</p>| style="height:48px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">February 2019 – March 2019</p>|} &nbsp; '''<u>Project Three: Breakout classes to teach technical skills</u>''' &nbsp;Improve student success by helping students to learn technical skills. This will be accomplished by holding break out classes. These classes will teach students basic skills like soldering, circuit debug, wiring, word and excel skills, review on programming, along with other useful training on machinery. Other classes teach you what to do with the machines, but they don't always teach you how to do them. These workshops will help underclassmen develop important skills that will be useful for upcoming programs {| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"|-| style="width:221px;height:48px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">'''<u>MILESTONE</u>'''</p>| style="width:247px;height:48px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">'''<u>PROJECTED DATE</u>'''</p>|-| style="width:221px;height:48px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">Brainstorm important skills</p>| style="width:247px;height:48px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">November 2018</p>|-| style="width:221px;height:48px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">Train a team</p>| style="width:247px;height:48px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">November 2018 – December 2018</p>|-| style="width:221px;height:48px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">Schedule workshops</p>| style="width:247px;height:48px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">January 2019</p>|-| style="width:221px;height:48px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">Publicize workshops</p>| style="width:247px;height:48px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">January 2019</p>|-| style="width:221px;height:48px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">Host kickoff workshop</p>| style="width:247px;height:48px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">February 2019 - March 2019</p>|-| style="width:221px;height:48px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">Develop maintenance plan</p>| style="width:247px;height:48px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">March 2019 - May 2019</p>|} &nbsp; '''<u>Project Four: Innovation outreach</u>''' Develop a program to foster innovation in children at a young age. Innovation and creativity are most unconstrained during young ages. The program would help young students solidify their interests in STEM and innovation. The program would consist of college students travelling to local school and local schools coming to the college. The mix between the college students going to the local schools and the schools coming to the college provide the ability to use the resources on campus to help foster innovation. {| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"|-| style="width:221px;height:48px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">'''<u>MILESTONE</u>'''</p>| style="width:221px;height:48px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">'''<u>PROJECTED DATE</u>'''</p>|-| style="width:221px;height:48px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">Consult with education department</p>| style="width:221px;height:48px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">December 2018</p>|-| style="width:221px;height:48px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">Propose program to local schools</p>| style="width:221px;height:48px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">January 2019</p>|-| style="width:221px;height:48px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">Revise proposal</p>| style="width:221px;height:48px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">February 2019</p>|-| style="width:221px;height:48px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">Gather a team</p>| style="width:221px;height:48px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">February 2019-March 2019</p>|-| style="width:221px;height:48px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">Schedule meetings</p>| style="width:221px;height:48px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">March 2019 - April 2019</p>|-| style="width:221px;height:48px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">Host first outreach</p>| style="width:221px;height:48px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">April 2019</p>|-| style="width:221px;height:48px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">Develop partnerships</p>| style="width:221px;height:48px;" | <p style="text-align: center;">April 2019 - May 2019</p>|} === <br/> === &nbsp; === <span style="font-size: large;"><u>'''UIF 2017'''</u></span> ===
