== Strategy #1: Communication Internal Website with information about the Makerspace ==
Develop stronger communication about IThere is currently a website page but it is still a work in progress. There is content on the web page but it requires additional development and updating. We want to continue to factor in student input and student needs. Students will be able to give feedback and interact with the staff in the makerspace through this website.&Enbsp;
== Strategy #2: Awareness Leverage Media (social and campus media) ==
Make more students/populations aware An Instagram Account for the Makerspace has been established. The account promotes usage of the importance/goals makerspace and to raise awareness of I&Eactivites. We are also working with the Campus Newspaper to increase campus awareness of the makerspace and its advantages. We plan for this to build a new and bigger following for the new makerspace that is being built on campus.
== Strategy #3: Implementation External Website for Makerspace ==
Host events This external website will be used for recruitment and activities to support fundraising efforts. It will be used to connect with the community. This is a long term goal that emphasize these goalsrequires collaboration with University Administration and the Office of Marketing.

The Living Learning Communities are the epitome of experiential education and can serve as a catalyst for I&E implementation efforts. The Innovation & Entrepreneurship LLC (IE-LLC) will help students in all majors and disciplines who want to extend collaboration outside of the classroom and into a residential setting. Specifically, the IE-LLC will develop and strengthen innovation and entrepreneurship skills throughout the course of the academic year for students. Additionally, it will provide incentive and enhancement for upperclassmen residential life. The University of New Haven serves as a leader in experiential education. = Spring 2018 Priorities<br/> =

Efforts are continuing to develop and maintain the Entrepreneurial Engineering Living Learning Community. The E<sup>2</sup>-LLC offers There is a variety lack of enriching activities, including monthly discussion dinners, 24 Hour Imagination Questsengagement in the community, both inside and weekly meetings with the outside of I&E<sup>2</sup>-LLC student coordinator. The E<sup>2</sup>-LLC provides its’ members the opportunity It is difficult to pursue feasible projects ignite change on campus and connect with faculty and staff outside of their academic workthe classroom, aside from various clubs. The E<sup>2</sup>-<sup> </sup>LLC also provides its members the chance Many clubs are focused to participate in a threshold level of activities over their four years in order to earn a certificate. The Entrepreneurial Thinkers Certificate will give students an edge in today's competitive job marketplace. E<sup>2</sup>-<sup> </sup>LLC does not require separate housing specific majors or feesprograms, but and it does require membership in the Engineering LLC. Think would be benefital to all of it as a supplement campus to add clubs that focus on the Engineering LLC. University broad topic of New Haven is proudly a member of KEEN, a collaboration of universities that strive to instill an entrepreneurial mindset in undergraduate engineering creating change and technology students. KEEN’s mission is to graduate engineers with an entrepreneurial mindset so they can create personal, economicbusiness, socially and societal value through a lifetime of meaningful work. Graduates of KEEN schools will be prepared to identify new technology-based business opportunities in their engineering disciplines. This network of colleges creates synergy between member institutions that takes advantage of the network’s collective faculty in a manner that transcends an individual university’s statusprofessionally.
EMpwr== Strategy #2: Programs<br/> ==
EMpwr (Entrepreneurial Mindset Power) is a new recognized student organization that promotes I&E has only one official minor at UNH, and involves all no connection to majors. The five pillars Though there is a significant amount of implementation in existing classes, there is a lack of EMpwr are:emphasis on the importance and power of understanding the concepts due to few official programs.
== Strategy #Leadership3: Identify and pursue opportunities to develop the mindset, skillset, and world view related to being entrepreneurial. #Service: Address the local needs and apply the mindset to serve the community. #Outreach: Influence the future leaders, inspire innovators, and participate in enterprise. #Mentorship: Create meaningful peer to peer and professional relationships critical for networking and development of the individual mindset. #Competition: Innovate ideas and create novel solutions to real-world problems… Front-end of design with emphasis on the mindset.Extracurriculars<br/> ==
Outside of the classroom setting, there is little to no way for students to further their I&E understanding. As mentioned in Strategy #1, clubs focused towards I&E would be relevant to nearly all majors and minors, and would allow for a more entertaining platform for students to expand their horizon.
== Strategy #4: Networking<br/> ==
== Strategy #2: Awareness ==Though there are plenty of brilliant professors on campus, it can be hard to meet those who you never have as a teacher. It is crucial to I&E to have a strong network dynamic, and there should be more of a focus on events in which students can connect with teachers outside of their specific school of learning. This could done through meet and greets, dinners, socials, and clubs with faculty and staff involvement.
Innovation & Entrepreneurship Newsletter== Strategy #5: Resources<br/> ==
Currently, there is no newsletter dedicated Outside resources are crucial to the expansion of learning in I&E related news. There should be a newsletter, by print, email, or both, that and there are currently few places focus on the developing the entrepreneurial mindset and reporting recent innovations. For example, most individuals are aware about the popular product, the Sperry Boat Shoe. However, the majority are unaware campus to access all of its originsthose resources. Inventor Through improving both online and sailor Paul Sperry slipped on a boat and fell overboard. The traumatic experience inspired him to develop a nonin-slip shoe.

Similar stories should be shared to inspire future innovators makerspaces, allowing for increased networking as well, and contributing to promote thinking above and beyondextracurricular trips.
Entrepreneurship HourWritten by Allison Antcliff
The University of New Haven has its own radio station that broadcasts various musics and shows. Often, it encourages colleges and clubs to advertise events or facilitate hour-long discussions. There should be an hour dedicated to a conversation that promotes I&E and makes students and faculty aware of I&E events on campus. A possible candidate to host the show could be the newly initiated club EMpwr (Entrepreneurial Mindset Power).

Discussion Dinners  = Spring 2017 Priorities<br/> =
The E<sup>2== Strategy #1: Communication<br/sup>-LLC has piloted a series of discussion dinners that have proven successful in the past year and a half. Starting at 6:30 PM, students of all majors (mostly engineering) gather for a meal, socialize, and then participate in an interactive discussion centered around innovation and entrepreneurship. Focus is placed on curiosity, creating value, and making connections. EMpwr has been cosponsoring discussion dinners. There are hopes to expand the discussion dinners to include more participants and encourage more majors to attend. ==
24 Hour Imagination QuestDevelop stronger communication about I&E
The 24 Hour IQ is inspired by Villanova University and will be held for the second time this upcoming spring. In the span of 24 (non-consecutive!) hours, randomized groups of students must get inspired, find opportunities, and create a business proposition. The weekend-long competition yields cash prizes to the top three winners and provides excellent first-hand innovation and entrepreneurship experiences.== Strategy #2: Awareness<br/> ==
K-SIDEMake more students/populations aware of the importance/goals of I&E
The KEEN Summer Interdisciplinary Design Experience (K-SIDE) will be a week and a half long intensive program offered during May at the University of New Haven. Inspired by Bucknell University, interdisciplinary teams work for no credit or pay to imagine, prototype and pitch a device that will contribute to the solution of a social problem.

Currently, there are many opportunities at the University of New Haven available to students. However, not all may be aware of events and programs that are offered. Additionally, some Connect students may need guidance. The E<sup>2</sup>-LLC hires a student peer mentor and coordinator to faciliate events and connect students with opportunities. The University should collectively work towards implementing more peer mentorsacross campus as well as faculty, whether staff or student mentorsadministration, to motivate and inform students of I&E opportunities and events. outside resources
== Strategy #5: Curriculum ==
KEEN
The Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN) has been providing grant money to the University of New Haven to implement programs that promote I&E within the engineering curriculum. Initiatives include Engineering Applied Science (EASC) classes such as Intro to Engineering (1107 P), Project Management (2232), and Global Solutions to Sustainability (3300). KEEN modules implemented into classes place a focus on I&E and make useful connections. The engineering department should continue its work with KEEN, and other departments should use the KEEN iniatives as models for similar I&E implementation.
Service Learning
Service Learning is a component of specific courses that look to go beyond the classroom. Experiential education states that the best way to learn is by doing, therefore more courses should implement service learning initiatives to encourage more real-world encounters. An example is Civil Engineering Systems (CIVL 2218) where the class (= Spring 2015) was required to survey the conditions of the City of West Haven's sidewalks and create a State of Repair report to present in front of City Hall.2016 Priorities<br/> =
