Fall 2014: Determine plans for use and sustainability

= Strategy #3: Leverage coursework and projects to drive entrepreneurship and innovation =

Students are already doing amazing things in the classroom. Finding and solving problems during each course. Unfortunately it is limited to the classroom. Even when a potential solution is found for a real world problem, it is left on the table and only used to satisfy course specific goals. Even worse is that the same problem is presented to each incoming class and then solved without using previous years work.

== Tactic 1: Faculty and Staff involvement ==

Overview: Faculty are the individuals on the ground developing class content and assignments. However many faculty are unaware of the resources on campus and the potential of their classes for innovation. Entrepreneurship and innovation need to be factors that they consider when designing projects. This will require extensive conversation with faculty by the Innovation Fellows.

Milestones

Spring 2016: Identify courses with possible strong innovation focus and contact faculty.

Spring and Summer 2016: Meet with faculty to talk about innovation in class

Summer 2016: Persuade faculty to include a talk about innovation and include clause in projects with innovation potential. This clause would provide information about innovation on campus and how to finance or prototype their ideas (maker spaces or Spark Grants).

Fall 2016 - Spring 2017: Continue consulting with faculty on incorporating innovation/real world problems into projects and using previous classes work in future class.

== Tactic 2: Student Awareness ==

Overview:Students themselve are the most powerful innovators on campus and are completing the classwork. Many students complete the classwork with the sole goal of finishing the class and may miss the real world applications along the way. This may also be because students are not aware that their are campus resources for them to take their ideas outside of the classroom. In some cases resources are not available to all students. This may be discouraging knowing that resources only become available at a senior level.

Spring 2016: Conduct research on student awareness of campus resources

Spring 2016: Brainstorm events to enhance visibility of campus resources to students

Fall 2016: Have campus resources placed in course materials (syllabus, project descriptions)

Fall 2016: Make current resources accessible to all students.

= Strategy #4 Workshop Series to Teach Innovation and Entrepreneurship =

== Tactic 1:  Develop a workshop series that will teach innovation and entrepreneurship by solving a real world problem ==

Overview: In order to get more students to be interested in consistently coming to a workshop series to learn entrepreneurial skills we will use the effort of the students to solve a real world problem that students are passionate about.

Milestones:

Spring 2016: Have one workshop that will start brainstorming on issues that students would like to research

Spring 2016: Determine faculty that are in favor of this idea and could publicize the group in their classes

Spring 2016: Find a central space on campus that this event can be held

Summer 2016: Make a schedule for the 2016-2017 academic year
