== <brspan style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Proposal #1: Creating a CAP class for all majors</span> ==

= <span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-sizeProblem Statement:smaller;">Strategy #3: Generating Awareness The University of Dayton likes to pride themselves as a school for innovation and entrepreneurship, however I&E is very secluded within the School of Engineering and Excitement for Innovation the School of Business, making other majors feel excluded.& Entrepreneurship</span>nbsp;</span> =

<span style="font-sizefamily:smallarial,helvetica,sans-serif;">There are many students and faculty Proposal: The University should create a CAP (Common Academic Program) class that are currently doing some incredible things that push forward a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship on campusincorporates design thinking for every major to take. By highlighting their hard work and success, we can raise This would expand the profile knowledge of these faculty and student members. MoreoverI&E to not only a select few hundred people, it would get the word out about current resources on but thousands across campus, and generate excitement for such activities.&nbsp;</span>

== <span style="font-sizefamily:smallerarial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Problem AddressedKey Tactics: To complete this project and make a new CAP class for everyone, there are going to have to be a lot of small steps taken in order to complete the over all goal.&nbsp;</span> ==

Student organizations tend #<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Create a one day activity around design thinking and run it over with team and mentour. Get feedback and make tweaks to be ineffective at carrying their missions the class.</span>#<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Meet with professors of every major and ask if you can do a "desgin class takeover day" and goals through in an academic yeartakeover there classes to teach design thinking. We have found Have them complete activities that include design thinking.&nbsp;</span>#<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Get feedback from both the professors as well as the students.&nbsp;</span>#<span style="font-family:arial, as individualshelvetica, are sans-serif;">Make changes to what happened within the ones that carry though real changeclass and develop on a broader scale. Instead of highlighting &nbsp;</span>#<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Hold events for all students groups, highlighting individuals could inspire others to take action as well. Another aspect of this is that some faculty come and do not recognize the importance of being innovative learn about design thinking and entrepreneurialget feedback</span>#<span style="font-family:arial, and thereforehelvetica, do not pass this knowledge sans-serif;">Develop a full semester course that deals with bringing together all majors to their students.

== <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: smallerWhile this project will mainly be lead by me, I will need help from my other UIF fellows as well as getting together many people from different majors to see what they would like to have included within the class and how it may better prepare them for the furture. A big component to the success of my project will be Ian Sikora, as his idea is to hold a design thinking challenge day. I can observe and get feedback from this event and allow it to benefit the production of the class.&nbsp;">Implementation</span></span> ==

*<span style="font-size:small;">= <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">'''Feature Student's Projects on Posters around Campus -'''&nbsp;Proposal #2: Revamp of Up the Orgs</span></span>In order to promote a culture of innovation, it is important to recognize students who are currently engaged in I&E activities. Through featuring students and their projects around campus via posters and news articles, we hope to inspire other students to follow in their steps.*<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">'''Create an Award for Outstanding I&E Professors''' -&nbsp;</span>In addition to recognizing student achievement, it is equally important to recognize outstanding professors who install I&E mindsets in their courses. Through this award, we can encourage more professors to incorporate I&E into their courses.&nbsp;=

First, we will develop a list of key terms that would help describe the organizations on campus. Creating a list for clubs will identify core values in a organization that students would be interested in developing upon. The students’ interest can lead them into wanting to be involved in a club that further implements that passion for a key term, &nbsp;such as “service-based”. Next, we will develop an online form that will list key terms for the clubs to fill out. With the help of the Center of Student Involvement, we will send these forms out and get feedback from each club. The general process for each club would ask them to select five key terms that describes their organization to avoid excessively selecting of key-terms, such as 30. After the results are in, we will go through and develop a survey that will help link students with clubs they can be interested in. For example, we will send a survey to students and have them pick 5 key terms they value or have a passion for. After they complete it, the survey will indicate the clubs that correlate to those key terms. On Fall 2019, we hope to have separated the key terms by specific days of the week. There will also be a developed map online that will have all of the organization on the main campus for the following week. The map will allow students to have an easier time finding and connect with organizations. In addition, it will allow club members to recruit individuals who have a passionate for their organization. &nbsp;Once the first revamp is finished, I&E Into Courseworkwill witness and ask fellow students their intact of the new ‘Up the Orgs’. If there are any complaints multiple times, I will do my duty of making the revamp of ‘Up the Orgs’ better.</span></span></span><br/span> =

== <span style="font-sizefamily: smallarial,helvetica,sans-serif;">One of the most important ways to foster a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship within a school is to incorporate these mindsets into classroom experiences. While student run clubs and extra-curricular are all great ways to drive passion for innovation, but the only way to guarantee that all students gain this valuable mindset is to enforce it in the classroom.&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: smallmedium;">For this reason, we are proponents of changing/adding classes to the university's curriculum that pull in students from all majors and encourage a collaborative culture within those students. &nbsp;We want to foster an environment in which students are excited about working with students from other majors because we feel that this not only creates a more successful product, but prepares them for the real world in which they will be forced to work with others who may not share their same perspective.<span>Proprosal #3: Design Thinking Day&nbsp;</span></span></span> ==

This course has bringing the potential to be expanded to students across the entire university as an intro to I&E course. With mindset to the help schools of business and the UIF cohortschool of engineering, the course can be redesigned to include entrepreneur content and make a lasting impression on students which they can carry through their time in collegeother academic departments are often being left out of these developments.&nbsp;</span></span></span></span>

Teaching everyone who attend about innovation through the University practice of Dayton I&E ecosystem provides educators with an opportunity to incorporate an innovative mindset the design process in the courses they teach. This can be accomplished through creating homework or group projects that require students to not only use the makerspace, but collaborate with their group members to reach innovative solutions to course assignmentsseveral creative scenarios.</span></span></span></span>

One potential way ) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Work with innovations teachers to accomplish this is for the UIF cohort to organize develop a design teams to compete in national thinking and design competitions as well as locally hosted competitions for University of Dayton students. Competition formats would range from poster presentations, pitching ideas, or rapid prototype development. In order process lectures for these events to be highly inclusive of non-engineering students from all parts of the university, challenges will be selected which focus on innovative approaches to problems rather than technical ability. The previously mentioned hackathons will be able to build off of these competitions in order to quickly move ideas generated in the design competitions into an early prototype phase.&nbsp;</span></span></span></span>

Many students feel like it does not have a convenient place to study or do group work. The only public place for student use is a first floor lounge with furniture that is not suited for academic work.   Proposal The basement of KL is virtually unused and contains many rooms that are large enough to be a group study space. I created a prototype floor plan using a central room and pictures of furniture found online, including team tables with presenting monitors, group standing desks, and modular couches.&nbsp;   Feedback The feedback I received for students was very positive. Most had no suggestions for changes besides minor tweaks to the furniture and requests for many outlets to be installed. Moving forward, I will be presenting to faculty and facilities managment to hear their feedback and to find out what the next steps would be to move this proposal forward. == '''Proposal #2: Crossing CAP Courses''' == === '''Problem Statement'''<br/> === '''At the University of Dayton , all students are required to take 10 CAP courses, which stands for the Common Academic Program. This requires students to take courses in humanties such as philosophy, english, history, etc. One issue that is brought up is that students opt for the easiest classes and ones that best fit their schedule instead of ones they are interested in.&nbsp;''' === Proposal === '''Instead of having the 10 CAP courses, have the CAP courses be more focused on engineering themes, so they engineers will be more interested and represented in humanties. This would also allow for a better understanding of engineering in both theory and in the workplace, thus further preparing them upon graduation.''' '''After surveying engineering students, many students still wanted the CAP courses to not focus on engineering topics, but they still wanted more from their courses. Many of them suggested ideas such as allowing for those classes to be replaced by getting minors in other fields such as Computer Science, Business, etc.&nbsp;''' == '''Proposal #3: Developing a Resouce for Locating Vacant Rooms''''''&nbsp;''' == '''Problem Statements and RoadBlocks''' #Students want study spaces avaible in KL for collaborative working in the evening/weekends#Size and Layout of KL is rather static. Administration is already working hard to optimize space.&nbsp;#There is little space to rearrage the layout of the building#&nbsp;TAs tend to reserve larger rooms for office hours, which is not always necessary#&nbsp;Student Prioritieshave no way to reserve study space unless it is for club events#Students cannot see which rooms are unoccupied&nbsp;#Adding/Renovating collaborative spaces in KL may not be possible because there is already overcrowding. Labs and Offices are at capasity '''Potential Solution''' #Create a universal systems for students to check which rooms are available to use outside of the class hours.#&nbsp;Optimize use of reserved space by using smaller rooms for office hours or combining multiple TAs into one room for various office hours '''Plan of Action''' #Adapt the layout of the Library's System to KL to view which rooms are available.#Create an applciation to show a map and highlight the free rooms in KL, posting when they are help for classes/meetings.#Speak with the Dean to optimize spaces for TA's. Propose alternative spaces that are smaller or larger spaces that are condensed '''Other Information''' #Roesh Library has a room reservation tool on their website with a listing of available study rooms and team rooms and the abiliry to reserve them for up to a 3 hour window == '''Proposal #4: Establishing a Living Learning Community'''<br/> == '''The University of Dayton offers a variety of Integrated Learning Living Communities(ILLC) where first year students are able to live together based upon shared interests and passions. The proposal is to establish an ILLC for Engineering and Innovation that would allow first year Engineering students the abiltiy to live together and begin practicing essential networking and problem solving skills that will help them develop into future successful engingeers and problem solvers''' = <span style="font-size: smaller;">Related Links</span> = [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/University_of_Dayton '<i><b>University of Dayton'</b></i>]
