Overview
Strategy 1: Increase Awareness of current I&ET
Task 1: Expand TEDx programming
Task 2: Pitches in classrooms
Task 3:
Strategy 2: Introduce New Curriculum
Task 1: Evaluate sentiment of current courses
Task 2: Outline early-stage design course
Strategy 3: Develop student-run app/web and graphic design group
This idea was inspired by successful projects at other schools. This institution would operated as a quasi-business under control of the university. Students would be selected through a hiring process and work on projects in three main categories:
1) app and web development
2) web and graphic design
3) maintenaince and analytics
Students can earn money, develop connections, and build a portfolio that will help secure successful jobs upon graduation. It also serves as a focal point for others who lack programming experience to seek out assistance on projects and business ideas. Foreign students have much to gain as well, as their visas prohibit work outside of the school. Because this would be a part of the university, we can provide solid, career related work.
Strategy 4: Centralized website
There is a very basic structure website (makers.onmason.com) that currenly serves as our hub for resources and groups on campus. This could use a little revamp into something more user and mobile friendly, and that provides more information. Ideally, every project, place, group, etc. that relates to I&E would get their own web page(s). This would be easier to acchomplish with the above mentioned strategy and could possibly serve as a first project.
