== '''Strategy 1: Alter Campus Culture by Gaining More Student Involvement ''' ==

'''Project Lead: Kelsey Hanna'''

'''Tactic #1: Creating a more family-friendly campus environment by the addition of drop-in daycares and mothers rooms '''

With a campus high in nontraditional and returning students, it is hard at times to keep adults with families on campus. The idea is that with the addition of a few key resources targeted towards students with families we could create an environment that allows for them to spend more time on campus while also catering to their family's needs.

'''Project Lead: Isaac Carrillo'''

'''Tactic #2: Introduce Students to an Entrepreneurial Mindset early on. '''

Freshmen are often eager to apply themselves but lack direction. They feel the doubts and uncertainty of the workload ahead bearing down on their shoulders and this causes them to let go of their dreams for beginning something. Starting a club/organization has many similar characteristics to starting up a business and thus would be very beneficial for students to due. By encouraging these start-ups, we begin to empower students to overcome their fear which in turn will grant them success. The end goal is to develop a system by which it is easy to

1) Educate the students on the simplicity of the process of starting a club on campus.

2) Assist them to nurture their ideas by providing them with substantial aid through faculty, resources, and encouragement.

3) Guide them through the process of sustaining an organization. (Teaching and handing down leadership)

To do this we will need to gain much knowledge in the area by:

*Forming a database of Faculty willing to help start student organizations/clubs.

*Educating ourselves in the process of starting clubs and familiarizing ourselves with important advisors.

*Developing a way to become easily accessible to the student body. (A link on the WSU homepage?)

'''Tactic #3: Create More Hangout Spaces for Students to "Lounge" In'''

Some of the best ideas and greatest of memories are made in the outdoors. Something about the sunshine sparks some great conversation. With our innate love of fresh air, it only makes sense to create more spaces to hang around outside. What better than a hammock for one to "hang" with friends? This idea has two bases. The first being Rock Hurst University in Kansas City which hosts several large hammocks all around campus that students are always in. The second base was a senior UIF member from a college in North Dakota. He started his club with 10 members and ended with nearly 300 participants. This culture of leisure is something that may combat the commuter culture at Wichita State. By starting a Hammocking Club we will

1) Effectively Prototype Tactic #2 and gain knowledge in how to better implement it

2) Create an outdoors-focused culture at Wichita State

To create this "Hammocking Culture" we will have to

*Start the club and do everything that goes with that process.

*Find funding/support from companies and the university.

*Fundraise

*Advertise

== '''Strategy 2: Increasing First Year Student Retention''' ==

'''Project Lead: Mohamed Moustafa'''

One of the main problems facing first-year students is uncertainty choosing a field of study or a major to pursue, this applies directly to undecided students but also impacts a great population of freshman students who are decided yet dubious. Through our journey as UIF candidates, we had the opportunity to interview freshman students and we found that they are mostly unaware of the wide range of university major offerings. Making students more aware of majors available and career opportunities in each field can make them more likely to commit to finishing their degree and counteract 'first-year drop off'. Another very useful strategy for freshman retention that we uncovered through our discussion with several faculty and staff leaders is student-faculty engagement outside of class. Increasing this engagement helps create a home-away-from-home feeling for students which increases their attachment to the university and improves their academic performance, hence increasing retention. Following these discoveries, we developed two initiatives that focus on increasing student-faculty collisions and students' awareness of university offerings.

'''Initiative #1: Engaging Faculty in Freshman Student Orientation'''

*Invite introductory course faculty to attend lunch & dinner with students during orientation (Pilot program)

*Include faculty as participants in team building and ice-breaker events

*Run faculty & student focus groups pertaining to engagement

*Add mini-intros to different fields of study throughout orientation

*Include activity introducing WSU major offerings/resources to orientation

'''Initiative #2: Welcome Week Majors Fair'''

*Organize a fair as part of Welcome Fest

*Departments host tables and promote their available majors & minors

*Faculty interact with students and answer questions

*Invite alumni to represent departments and talk about their beyond school experience

== '''Strategy 3: Alter the Campus Culture through Curriculum''' ==

'''Project Lead: Kelsey Hanna'''

'''Tactic #1: Design thinking pop up classes. '''

Pop-Up series classes offered across majors and disciplines led by UIF members to teach design thinking concepts to both student and faculty with the ultimate goal of having design thinking concepts integrated across campus. This would bolster the campus innovation and entrepreneurial mindsight while simultaneously allowing a new approach to education that is both exciting and useful in industry positions.

'''Project Lead: Kevin Kraus'''

'''Tactic #1: Introduce students to design courses early on.'''

Selected Topics in Design is an aerospace engineering course that offers sophomore and junior honors students the opportunity to work side-by-side with the aerospace engineering students enrolled in their senior design course.  Creating parallel courses in the other engineering departments would help form a foundation in design earlier on in a student’s academic career.

*Speak with the faculty of senior design courses to gauge the feasibility

*Discuss the option of these courses fulfilling Engineer of 2020 requirement

*Create the first revision of the curriculum

*Begin offering these courses

'''Tactic #2: Offer interdisciplinary design courses.'''

Interdisciplinary work allows students the opportunity to gain new perspectives on how their majors interact with other majors in the business world.  A design course that involved business and engineering majors and emphasized product lifecycle management would expose the students to different mindsets and a more holistic understanding of how an idea or solution is created out of an initial design and eventually marketed.  This course could also facilitate community business partners that offer real-world problems for the students to undertake as their design project.

*Find a faculty member interested in teaching the course

*Determine if this course could satisfy senior design requirements

*Identify community businesses interested in a partnership

*Create the first revisionof the curriculum

*Begin offering the course

'''Project Lead: Michael Schlesinger, Caylin Wiley, Jesus Gomez, and LaRissa Lawrie'''

'''Tactic #3: Rethinking Senior Design Courses'''

*Interdisciplinary Senior Design Teams:

Through our stakeholder meeting, we have understood that some departments won't give up their requirements when dealing with Senior Design, especially the engineering departments. However, we talked about the possibility of creating independent teams in different colleges when students start their senior year or project. Then, the goal was to create a link or collaboration between those groups and develop a company model between them. For example, we talked about the possibility about creating a group of aerospace engineers who will be in charge of the airplane design, electrical engineers about the circuits required, mechanical engineers dealing with engines, business to create a business model or marketing to investigate if there will be a profit, art and communication majors to create the brand, visual design, and publicity. The combinations are limitless.

*Involving Employers

Many students strive to network with employers early on in their college careers. However, lack of opportunities often leaves students wanting more interactions than they get. One way we can change this is by allowing students the opportunity to involve employers in their senior design project. While some colleges already incorporate this idea, it is limited to specific colleges and few employers. Connecting employers with students to provide benefits to both sides. Students have the chance to obtain real-world experience with employers and the problems they face. Employers then have the opportunity to utilize a senior design team to help them resolve an issue within their company. Allowing students and employers to work side by side in senior design projects would help prepare students for their future.

*Workshops to help Senior Design students

Some students have the drive to turn their senior design projects into something more. The students we interviewed were looking for resources on how to take a research project and turn it into a viable business or patentable product. The first step to accomplishing this and changing curriculum is to empower students. Part of this tactic is giving students the equivalent of a pop class workshop on senior design classes. Talks are occurring with the research institutes on campus about funding and structural support. The workshops will be designed to take students through the stages of design thinking and prepare students with the lean startup model. The current plan is to hold the workshops three times a semester.

'''Overview:'''

As one of the leading contributors to the Tech Transfer and Research Development schools in the State of Kansas, it is important for Wichita State University to continue to push for new methods of encouraging students and to provide opportunities to broaden their intellectual development. By setting in place initiatives that would help facilitate more innovative business models, students could then begin to explore the potentials of their academic course material and truly begin understanding the implications of their education.

It is through the social interactions between student to student contributors, faculty to student advisement, and business to student relationships that as a Univesity the cultural development will shift from faculty-driven research and development to that of the entire University body working in cotangent towards a more dynamic experience.

Connecting students with students or students with resources are the biggest problems with starting a startup at a university, the solution is to create an online environment of like-minded students with other students and the universities resources. Students value their time more than they value anything and creating an online environment that they can search and post their needs will help save them time and give them multiple options to choose from.

Short term tactics:

~~'''Initiative #2~~*poll students and see what the need is for resources and founding members*poll current startups from the community that have found success and failure and see what could have helped them in the early stage of their startup*create a minimum viable product with a local startup

It is a grassroots event that promotes the arts and the community. As Wichita State has a renowned outdoor sculpture collection, a large art museum, and talented student artists and faculty, it does not make sense as to why WSU is not a part of this. At the Shocker Street Market held on our campus, students and faculty would be able to sell and show their art. Students will be able to apply to hold a booth at the market and gain experience in selling their products. There will also be local artists at the booths as well in order to increase community engagement. We would have student bands, food trucks, yard games, picnic areas and more. This event would bring not only the campus community together but would also bring the Wichita community to us.

'''Project Lead: Matthew Colborn'''

Student pride and campus community is low in comparison to other universities of our caliber. In addition to this networking and finding new people to meet (which is becoming increasingly important to younger generations) is another challenge students are having. By creating a lawn party that is offered to students for free and non students for a ticketing price we can bring in celebrities to perform for our students and the community while offering additional value to our partner companies on campus by strategically placing the event in locations that would increase their foot traffic. By throwing this event it kicks off the semester and creates natural collisions for students and businesses.

After their visit, the “token” is collected and stored until the beginning of the semester. Students who are admitted and enrolled at WSU will have their “token” given to a student artist who will be charged with the responsibility of creating a work of art showcasing the hopes of all of the tokens combined. The fears will be to the inside of the work, with the idea in mind that as one part of a greater whole, the students can overcome any adversity and accomplish their biggest hopes and dreams.

~~There are no limits to individual creativity given a safe space to work and show off projects~~'''Project Lead: Christian Ammerman'''</hobbies. I believe that given a space to design in, and a group of individuals to support the mission, a mindset geared towards innovation and entrepreneurship can be instilled in each and every one of the individuals that step foot on campus here at WSU. We can achieve this and more through an unconference. Unconferences are events run by participants. Attendees set the agenda for what’s discussed, lead the sessions and workshops that fill the schedule, and create an environment of innovation and productive discussion. By creating open events geared towards showing off projects and hobbies, I believe that we can instill a sense of community and support among students and faculty.span>

~~Some~~ The idea for Innovation Station stems from a crossover of our WUIFx program that is run through Collegiate High School and was inspired by our Innovation In Action workshop, which engaged high school seniors in design thinking. By engaging in both programs, we found it crucial to help provide students across disciplines, social classes, and locations necessary tools to actively engage in design thinking and various innovative processes, regardless of their backgrounds. The purpose of Innovation Station is to provide knowledge to students in schools that do not receive proper funding for engagement in both design thinking and STEAM. Ideally, we would like to venture to various schools throughout Kansas, especially smaller, and more rural schools. We would like to give the ~~key concepts behind the unconference would~~ students a greater worldview, to engage in problem-solving skills, and to empower them to make a change. This model will be:properly prototyped at St. Anne's Catholics School's STEM Club and will feature a short introduction to design thinking, what UIF is, and then followed by a short design challenge. On top of exposing students to design thinking, Innovation Station also provides WSU with positive marketing, as well as market UIF to prospective students.

~~'''Project Lead~~[http: ~~Saad Syed''~~//letsgofullsteamahead.com "Let'~~ ~~s Go Full STEAM Ahead!"] is an educational initiative to empower young women to see their potential within the fields of science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics. Of all the science, engineering, and tech workers in the United States, only 24% are women. To address this gender disparity, young women need to be encouraged to pursue their dreams. Starting with students at Colvin Elementary School, we have prototyped teaching methods to explore STEAM with 2nd and 3rd-grade girls. At Girl Scout camp, we prototyped activities for their new Science and Engineering Exploration Badges. In Augusta Public Schools (elementary, middle, and high school), we will be prototyping short STEAM workshops that can be taught in 30 minutes-1 hour, that tie into what the students and teachers are already doing with their classrooms.

*Develop a When interviewing students for session two, many of them made comments about only knowing to go to the Rhatigan Student Center, or RSC, when they have extra time but don't want to leave campus. There was also mention of not liking the RSC due to how loud and noisy it is. There are many places to go on campus that could be used by students as study spaces, but many students don't know where these places are located and don't want to seek them out. The purpose of Shocker Study Spaces is to make these locations known. The plan ~~for future fellows~~ , as of now, is to get permission to ~~take ownership~~ mark the directories of ~~organizing~~ buildings with stickers showing where these areas are, to put a vinyl wall decal that says "Shocker Study Space" in the locations, and ~~hosting event each year~~to create maps of the buildings with the spaces marked.*Develop To start putting this plan into action, we will have to figure out with department, or department(s), we will need to work with to get permission to mark walls/directories, create the stickers, and the logo to go on the stickers.

~~== '''Strategy 8: WSU Ignite~~When reflecting on our mobilization, parking is an ~~event~~ issue when it comes to campus, as such, we were thinking of numerous ideas to help solve this problem. Approximately 85-90% of students are living off campus. To help diminish this problem, we could implement scooter stations around campus that ~~will excite~~ would be able to be checked out, like a program that the city of Denver has. We chose scooters because of the ease with which it takes to use one, and because of the small amount of space, they take up, compared to a bike taking up an entire sidewalk. Along with these, there would be stations scattered throughout the whole campus, which would allow students ~~about innovation~~ , staff, and faculty to check out the scooter through our Shocker Cards (ID's). The scooters would be electric and ~~familiarize them~~ charged in the stations, so they would be able to tell you which has the most battery life. Also, with the ~~innovation~~ scooters, we would map out Wichita State's campus so that the entire campus would be on it, and ~~entrepreneurship resources~~ a route would be able to generate the path that ~~surround them''' ==~~is fastest from station to station, similar to a GPS system.

WSU Ignite is an event that will be held on campus over a span of two days. There are four main components to the event; a small scale music festival, film festival, startup competition, and a technology trade and demo show. The music and film components offer a choice of entertainment for students and encourage students that have no interest in innovation to attend. The other two components serve to transform the local and regional perception of WSU and create a campus culture shift that inspires students to think more innovatively. This will be done by showcasing and celebrating the amazing talents, resources, and current innovation occuring at WSU and all around the Wichita area.

As potential new shockers visit WSU they have the opportunity to experience campus and the future that may lie ahead for them. [IN]nnovation is an initiative focused on potential new students and giving them a taste of what WSU is really about. During their campus visit, students will receive a 1in by 1in plastic square. On that square, they are asked to write their biggest hope for college on one side, and their biggest fear on the other. After their visit, the “token” is collected and stored until the beginning of semester. Students who are admitted and enrolled at WSU will have their “token” given to a student artist who will be charged with the responsibility of creating a work of art showcasing the hopes of all of the tokens combined. The fears will be to the inside of the work, with the idea in mind that as one part of a greater whole, the students can overcome any adversity and accomplish their biggest hopes and dreams.</~~span><~~/~~span><~~universityinnovationfellows.org/~~span>~~University Innovation Fellow]
