----

<li>Collaboration- “Bridging the Gap”- between the College of Engineering’s Innovation Institute and Heavener School of Business’ Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation.</li>

<li>“UFund” ~~Kick-starter~~ Crowdfunding Platform.</li>

<li>Starting Early: Implementation of Entrepreneurship and Innovation principles and experiential learning into fundamental courses for undergraduate engineers.</li>

<li>Spreading the Word: Increasing marketing efforts for existing programs and resources.</li>

<li>Freshmen Engineering Internship Program</li>

<li>UF Maker Faire</li>

<li>Gator Engineered Maker Space</li>

</ol>

= Implementation Plan =

----

<li>Create incentives, marketing programs or competitions to bring together engineering and business I & E organizations</li>

<li>Begin discussion on curriculum modifications to include CEI and COE students in I & E classes</li>

<li>Increase marketing efforts to motivate more COE students to pursue Entrepreneurship Minor (offered by CEI) and/or certificate (offered by COE Innovation Institute)</li><li>Apply for Venture Well Grant to suport Gator Engineered Maker Space</li>

~~= Top Projects and Corresponding University Innovation Fellow Leader =~~

<li>Collaboration- “Bridging the Gap”- between the College of Engineering’s Innovation Institute and Heavener School of Business’ Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation. Point Fellow: Natalie DeVarona</li>

</ol>

<li>Plan: Introduce COE students and resources to existing events and programs in CEI. Rather than “inventing the wheel” in 2 different colleges/departments, collaborate to have cross-functional workings between students and faculty.<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">

<li>Introduce Fellow Daniel Kleinman’s idea “UFund” Crowdfunding Platform to further motivate cross-functional collaboration between COE and CEI.</li>

<li>Once collaboration between COE and CEI in place, begin to invite Levin College of Law and College of Health and Sciences, respectively to grow cross-functional workings in existing programs.</li>

</ul></li>

<li>Spring 2015<ol start="1" style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; list-style-type: lower-alpha;">

<li>Early semester: Complete UIF training session to graduate to Fellow; Canvas entire E&I efforts ongoing at the University of Florida.</li>

<li>Later semester: Complete business model for COE & CEI collaboration. Market existing CEI events to engineering students. Recruit potential Fellows to join UF’s Leadership Circle</li>

</ol></li>

<li>Early Semester: Organize and further develop collaboration of E&I existing programs. Utilize UFund program to incentivize this collaboration.</li>

<li>Later Semester: Have cross-functional teams and organizations utilize UFund to fund start-ups and organizational E&I programs.</li>

</ol></li>

<li>Spring 2016<ol start="1" style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; list-style-type: lower-alpha;">

<li>Early Semester: Open conversation for cross-functional courses between COE and CEI.</li>

<li>Later Semester: Introduce other colleges (i.e. Law and Health and Sciences) to E&I existing efforts to broaden cross-functional work.</li>

</ol></li>

<li>Early Semester: Paradigm shift of having E&I efforts as a university-wide/ cross-functional program rather than compartmentalized programs/events.</li>

<li>Late Semester: Use model at University of Florida to aid other universities and Fellows.</li>
