= Overview =Fall of 2023 the UIF members have created the idea of S.H.E.E.P. (Student, health, encouragement, and education, planning)
<span style="font-size:large">Many The majority of the student priorities at George Fox University students who are moving forward in their school careers after high school are centered around the Maker Hubvery underprepared and overwhelmed when they first go to university. We want this space High school does not do a good job at preparing these students on what it means to live up to its name as a "hub" of innovation be successful and entrepreneurship confident in college academics. This program will focus mainly on campusfreshman and the undeclared majors transfer students. S.H.E.E.P will focus on areas such as workshops about different majors, and to ensure that having mental health check-ins, classes on what it is being used to its fullest potential. We also want interdisciplenary takes for students to be able succeed in college, putting on fun activities to take advantage of this resoursedestress, so and producing a Youtube/Podcasts that students with different talents can pool their resources listen in and make something truely specialconnect with others to build a community.</span>

<span style="font-size:large"><span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent">The engineering staff envision week before school starts, on the Maker Hub as George Fox campus there will be courses that do a space for everyone in quick over view of the University to use, not just engineerspotential fields students can go into. Currently, all engineering In these workshops students are exposed to resourses available to them in will learn the Maker Hub basics of each major through online a lecture and one then implement what they had just learned into hands on one trainings as part of their Freshman curriculumactivities. The staff is prepared This way not only do students get to offer these same opportunities experience a wide range of careers before they are required to students outside the majorchoose one, but those it will allow students lack both the knowledge to be involved and have fun. Having this be before school starts is so that these resources exist freshman and a reason undeclared transfers can have to opportunity to learn about thembuild community with students and faculty they might not meet otherwise.</span></span>
== Tactic #1<br/> ==
<span style="font-size:large">Hold pop-up classes, such as how to use a 3D printer or how to develop a prototype. The Maker Hub's position next to a popular on-campus cafe will be beneficially in spontaniously attracting attention to the classes<span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent"></span></span>'Tactic #1''
== Tactic #2<br/> ==Bring in faculty of different fields on a volunteer basis to teach the courses. Also have seniors of the various careers to help out similar to a TA, this would be something that those seniors could put on their resumes.
<span style="font-size:large"><span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent">Develop a student organization focused around making. Give students a problem to solve and a small amount of time to do it and turn them loose. Placing students under pressure will encourage experimentation and promote creativity.</span></span>

== Tactic =Strategy #1 2: Mental Health Check-Ins===''Description''
Increase interest from last year for Going to a new school environment can already be extremely overwhelming and confusing. That's why the current engineering members of UIF propose the idea of Shepherding. Shepherding (going along with our Sheep theme) would be another resource that would be available to students focusing on the mental and business studentsemotional wellbeing. While This would be required for those that were involved in the event will be open major workshops and it's just a way for students to everyone, this is get the main target grouphelp that they may need if they are struggling and don't know where to go for that help.
== Tactic #2 ==
Plan event, seek advice from the University Innovation Fellows who did a similar one-day event last year.''Tactic #1''
== Tactic #3 ==Grad Psych Students who come to the undergraduate campus as part of their internship requirements will help with this and it would count towards their credits.
Advertise the event in January-Februatry, host event in the middle of spring semester, before the final engineering projects have been assigned for underclassmen.

The current system encourages students to work until a certain level of performance is attained rather than to learn and enjoy problem solving. We want students to focus on the problem solving process and critical thinking skills. These skills will create professionals that see challenges as learning opportunities and desire to expand entrepreneurship and innovation.</span></span> ==Tactic #1== <span style="font-size:large">Bring in professional graders to see how the work that students are doing would hold up in an industry setting. This will encourage students to think about improving skills that will be desirable in the workplace, while also networking students to professionals involved in entrepreneurship and innovation in industry.</span> ==Tactic #2== <span style="font-size:large"><span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent">Encouraging concept based grading to shift students focus from numbers to learning material and critical thinking. This will foster a mindset of continuous improvement, and will encourage students to learn from mistakes. As a result, critical thinking skills that students have developed will encourage entrepreneurship and innovation.</span></span> ==Tactic #3== <span style="font-size:large">Implement an employability grade that reflects students' effort and predicts their performance in a professional environment. This grade is designed to display to employers how well a student demonstrates an innovative and entrepreneurial mindset while in classes, as well shows that the university is investing in the employability of students. The grade shows students application of knowledge, and thus creates an emphasis on practicality rather than on innovation.</span> =Strategy #2: Encourage I&E through expansion of innovative spaces= '''<span style="font-size: large"><span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent">Description</span></span>''' <span style="font-size: large"><span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent">While there are spaces on campus that encourage entrepreneurship and innovation, these spaces are either not well known or are not large enough for the growing number of students that will use the space as awareness is brought to it.</span></span> ==<span style="font-size:x-large">Tactic #1</span>== <span style="font-size: large;">Increase the amount of students that use current innovation spaces through more awareness to already existing spaces. Having a greater number and diversity of students in the same spaces will encourage different ideas and contribute to entrepreneurship and innovation.</span> ==<span style="font-size:x-large">Tactic #2</span>== <span style="font-size:large">Expanding innovation spaces to include fishbowls or other study spaces that give students the freedom to "Dream Big" in creating new ideas.

Students could learn about resources available on campus and develop teamwork and communication skills with those in other majors. This would also help students focus on the need for their design, rather than jumping straight into the building process.</span></span>=Strategy #4: Develop a platform for students to launch new ideas= <span style="font-size:large">'''Description:'''</span> <span style="font-size:large"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap">A major gap in our I&E ecosystem is that students lack the support necessary to launch new ideas. We may be able to develop those resources to demonstrate that an idea has merit beyond the walls of the University</span></span> ==Tactic #1== <span style="font-size:large">Create a program where students from multiple majors work together to design a product and create a business model for a competition. Winners of this competition receive support and funding to patent their ideas and launch their business. This will inspire students to dream big and create a realistic proposal, while working with professionals.</span> ==Tactic #2== <span style="font-size:large">Create resources where students can go to receive support for launching new ideas.</span> ==Tactic #3== <span style="font-size:large">Generate incentive for students to try new ideas and put in the work to launch them.
