== Increasing Awareness of I&E Programs on Campus ==

The University of Delaware has many programs meant to increase I&E for students across campus, but many students are not aware of these programs. '''Project 1: Increase Awareness of I&E Programs across Campus''' To implement the project, the steps that need to be taken are: #Brainstorm ideas to increase awareness of I&E programs on Campus#Create smaller projects to increase I&E program awareness in specific areas, as shown below == Integrating I&E Programs ~~into~~ throughout Different Majors == I&E Programs are well estabilished in specific majors such as engineering majors and entrepreneurship majors. Many majors in colleges such as the College of ~~Art~~ Arts & Sciencesdo not have capstone classes that necessarily promote the development of innovation. One way to improve the lack of innovative classes in other departments would be to integrate these capstone classes, requiring students from different majors to work together on a single product/design.  '''Project 2: Establish an Interdisciplinary Capstone Project ==''' To implement the project, the steps that need to be taken are: #Reach out to I&E faculty for leadership and guidance#Reach out to department heads in traditionally innovative fields to establish a connection and drive interest in the collaborative capstone#Brainstorm which departments would complement each other well- i.e. marketing + engineering#Run a few trials across one or two capstones to gauge information on "rights" and "wrongs"#Integrate early-on collaboration, not just with a senior capstone. Start collaboration in EGGG101 (Engineering101) and equivalents

== Increasing Freshman Involvement in I&E Programs ==

Many freshman on campus are unaware of the several I&E programs available to them. In order to really start promoting I&E programs across campus, we should make people aware of the availability early on in their college careers. 

'''Project 3: Pair with a Freshman Entrepreneurship Program'''

To implement the project, the steps that need to be taken are:

#Reach out the the Delaware Innovation Fellows (DIF), a program designed to integrate I&E into students' curriculae starting freshman year

#Brainstorm ideas for a workshop for the DIFs to host in order to increase freshman participation in I&E

== Encouraging More Creativity and Social Change Based Innovation over Product Based Innovation ==

Many of the I&E programs already established on campus are moreso focused on a single product. We want to promote innovation in a more creative sense, such as creating a positive social change on campus.

'''Project 4: Promote Innovative Social Change on Campus'''

To implement the project, the steps that need to be taken are:

#Reach out to different RSOs across campus

#Brainstorm ideas for effective change on campus

#Host coffee chats to discuss important topics such as increasing awareness of diversity on campus

== Encouraging the Continuation of I&E Projects Beyond the End of the Semester ==

Many creative ideas and basis for ideas are generated and developed during I&E courses, but after the semester ends students lack the time, motivation, incentive and/or accountability for them to follow through or develop the idea further.

'''Project 5: Create a Mentoring Board to Help Further Develop I&E Project'''

To implement the project, the steps that need to be taken are:

#Contact faculty and experienced students who may be interested in comprising an Innovation Mentoring Board

#Pair mentors with students interested in further pursuing an I&E idea based on interest/experience with said idea

#Mentor(s) assist student with I&E project through finding funding and improving the idea

#Idea has a much better shot at success
