= Spring 2018 Priorities =As Santa Clara University is based in the heart of Silicon Valley, there is a thread of innovation that can be consistently seen through many of the different professors’ teachings on campus. From including group projects that encourage students to innovate within their major to including group discussions connecting topics to current events, SCU Professors tend to encourage students to innovate within the classroom. Outside the classroom, many professors are either directors or fellows of their own labs such as the Maker Lab, EPIC Lab, COVE, Frugal Innovation Hub, the Imaginarium and so on. Faculty encourage students to find solutions to real world problems by using the skills that they learned in the classroom; this builds an innovative atmosphere and urges students to think about the impact of their knowledge and skills. Furthermore, The Ciocca Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship has a Faculty Advisory Board that provides faculty with a way to guarantee that students are receiving the best resources and guidance from the Ciocca Center so that they are able to learn and craft the best innovative experiences around campus.

The two biggest issues in strengthening Collaboration Among the innovation culture Schools at SCU seem to be broadening the scope of those resources and increasing student engagement with the opprotunities that are present. The Bronco Innovation Center concept is one to allow more resources for students to get hands on exploration and pursuit beyond the classroom relevant to innovation. This means learning more than just the brainstorming and basic prototyping that comes with the beginning of the design and innovation process, but really giving students the chance to understand the whole process.</span></span>

At Santa Clara University, however, the individual schools are often siloed, lacking cross-ups in collaborative activities and courses that would enrich the students’ experiences even further. Courses within the realm Engineering school are excellent for technical training, and Business school courses prepare their students for much of innovation can get help from trained student consultants across disciplines (engineeringthe business scenarios they may encounter, but at the core of entrepreneurship is a combination of technical advancements and business, arts & sciences, law, etc.). The plan would acumen that can only be contigent upon heavy involvement from a faculty champion willing to help train volunteer student consultantsachieved with collaboration. The volunteers would have the opprotunity We intend to gain implement a hands-on experience , project-based course that will bring engineering and business students together in many projects within a collaborative environment. Students will learn crucial technical and business topics, and how their area intersection can push innovation to the next level. Teams will be made up of disciplinestudents in various majors who can act as both leaders and learners, and would be centrally connected ultimately contributing to a great resource to pursue their own ideasproduct that will move through a version of the entire entrepreneurial process. OverallBased on student interests and market research, it would this course will be a student-based support ot developed (by our team and faculty champion) to meet the defecit in "pursuit" demands of innovation on campusthe students and their future careers as collaborative contributors to innovative success.&nbsp;</span></span>

The Engineering School has sent out emails, created an online calendar, and even put up physical fliers advertising events that students can get involved in, but an overload of information has led to most engineering students neglecting these efforts. Typically, the same group of students is attending each event, so the challenge resides in expanding the group of attendees to a wider range of engineers. Our team intends to have a large, quarterly event where organizers and professors can pitch their events to students, which would restrict advertising to a few hours as opposed to lengthy, weekly emails. Additionally, our team members will act as liasons between the administration/span></span>event organizers and the students by raising awareness through fliers, social media advertising, and outreach to clubs.</span> ==
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 1411.4px5pt; font-weight: 700; white-space: pre-wrap;">There are a wide range of I&E courses at SCU, but a lot of them are not well marketed to students that are not in the School of Engineering. A lot of the time these classes may seem intimidatiing or daunting to non-engineering majors. As a way to alleviate this feeling, on the course description page of a particular class, there should be a 1-2 minute video of the professor describing the requirements, topics, scope, Priority 3: Identifying and application of their class. This contrasts the current course description page which has currently has a brief description of the class, the prerequisites, and required books. A video describing the course will not only be a more engaging way to learn about a class but it will give students a better feel for the professors personality and the importance of the class. It will also help students get a better idea of if they want to take that class.Accommodating Students’ Entrepreneurial Ambitions</span>

The main abundant I&E resources on campus, we must first understand students currently have access to ' expectations and ambitions for learning about their college careers. If they expect a class large emphasis on entrepreneurship in a classroom setting, we can meet them there with new courses and revamped lab guidelines. If we find students want more freedom and professor are interested in entrepreneurship outside of the student submitted course evaluations or the generally biased reviews from websites classroom, we will provide access to community-sourced projects and resources. We would like Ratemyprofessorsto find out where these expectations and desires lie through extensive market research. Students We hope to properly gain the perspective of all majors could formulate a better understanding of an elective course with a video description coming directly from the professorstudents and professors by explicitly speaking to these individuals, as well as implicitly analyzing which resources, approaches, and courses are popular and why others need work.</span></span>

Due to this fact, when students find themselves in internships and full-time jobs, they are ill prepared for the more open-ended problem solving that exists in the workplace. In order to better prepare students for the future, we hope to rework labs to allow for more freedom in studentss solutions and creative problem solving. Additionally, by better promoting more projects on campus, students will get the opportunity to collaborate with other engineers, which is a key component of real-world projects. The combination of these two initiatives will ideally instill confidence in students when they are asked to work on collaborative, open-ended projects during their internships and full-time jobs, which will lead to even more opportunities for the students in the future. As such, we intend to work with faculty to create innovative lab guidelines and objectives, as well as provide more opportunities for team and project creation.</span></span> =

In the school of Engineering, there is a weekly email sent out that is hand-crafted every Sunday night that lists out most of the events that will be happening that week. Club meetings, Maker Lab events, workshops, and many others are listed off in this email- but in the eyes of many, it comes across as almost "spammy". Most notably, not all engineers are interested in all disciplines of engineering, so they need to sort through dozens of items in order to find one they might be interested in. Along those same lines, the Business and Arts/Sciences schools appear to lack anything close to this, and students have to be completely on top of the hundreds of emails they receive each week just to see what they’re actually interested in.</span></span>University|Santa Clara University]]

Through Camino, club leaders, event organizers, and school administrators could communicate resources directly to interested students by publishing announcements about events when they are announced, directly messaging students to work out questions or RSVPs, and automatically add the event dates, times, and details to the students’ Google calendars. Students would sign up for which “groups” they would be interested in, whether they be Entrepreneurship, Art, Career Preparation, whatever it might be, and only receive notifications for those interestsfeature=youtu.

A problem with these classes is that they don’t satisfy any requirement, are offered at odd times, and they are only worth one unit. This makes it so students can't or don’t want to take them. Therefore by combining them all into a 4-unit class would solve this problem. A problem that hasn’t been resolved yet is the fact that these classes are traditionally at odd times and are hard to fit in the schedule. If the classes were all a part of the same class it wouldn’t have to be squeezed in eliminating the potential to take other classes. The largest benefit of these classes being in line so they can build off each other, and come together in a big final project that has a real world component.</span></span>[[Anthony_Fenzl|Anthony Fenzl]]

This would be a yearlong commitment where most of Fall Quarter would be spent in the team and skill building phase. Students would organize amongst themselves and pitch startup ideas to industry professionals/professors who are interesting in providing their expertise to those ideas into fruition. After teams organize themselves, Winter quarter would be where the idea finally transcends into a real startup. Teams would develop business strategies, produce prototypes of their product or service, develop marketing tools, create a distribution system and search for potential investors. School funding as well as resources such as the Maker Lab would be accessible to students to eliminate any financial risks and apprehension. Finally, by the end of Spring Quarter, students would present their startup and be judged by industry professionals, potentially having their ideas and talent taken beyond the campus confinements and into either a company or on their own as a fully functional startup.</div>= <span style="font-size: x-large;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-4ea59471-ec18-88e3-205f-1cfb80e7531b"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">STRATEGY #4: INCREASING ACCESSIBILITY OF MAKER LAB</span></span><org/span> =Ryan%20Lund Ryan Lund]

<span style="font-size[http: 12px;">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 12px;">One of the stated problems was that students fail to "experiment" and use the Maker Lab as much as it is open. Currently, the 3D printers are very popular because the school sponsors and provide free filament, up a reasonable amount, for students. However, the laser cutters, while equally popular, are not used as frequently because students need to bring in their own material. This can be quite difficult if they don't posses a car or want to impulsively or quickly make something.&nbsp;</span><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</span>The proposed prototype is to install a large, locked cabinet in the mostly-empty break room just outside the Maker Lab that will hold laser-cutter-bed sized sheets of plywood and acrylic that students can purchaseuniversityinnovation. The lab assistants running the open lab will use a credit card reader the Maker Lab staff has stated is already being installed. The cost of the sheets will be enough to refund the material cost, plus shipping, plus a small labor cost of TA's having to order and pick up the sheets. To simplify the system students will only be able to purchase full sheets and can either keep left overs to reuse to leave them in the community scrap bin.</div><div><u><org/u>Taylor%20Mau Taylor Mau]
