Even when a potential solution is found for ~~being recruiters~~ a real world problem, it is left on the table and ~~promoters in~~ only used to satisfy course specific goals.

~~In order to make this a sustainable event, I will identify key students who participated in the 2014 event~~ == Tactic 1: Faculty and ~~recruit them to help with promotion and organization for 2015, etc.~~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 ~~Student Groups ==~~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.

~~'''Overview'''~~<span style="font-family: ~~The University of Oregon is pretty well~~Arial; background-saturated with different student groups. Of course there is tremendous opportunity for crossover, but I see little awareness for what each student group actually does. Furthermore, there is little awareness for some of the needs of the other groups. For example, our Design for America group could really use some help from Entrepreneurship Club when they get down to implementation and how to move into the market.&nbspcolor: transparent; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap">Milestones

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

~~Winter 2013~~Spring and Summer 2016: Meet with ~~Dean of Students at the school of Architecture and Allied Arts~~ faculty to ~~discuss areas of opportunity for awareness of different student groups. ~~talk about innovation in class

~~Spring 2014~~Summer 2016: Persuade faculty to ~~discuss feasible plans for students~~ 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 ~~get~~ finance or prototype their ~~student organizations recognized and discussed~~ideas (maker spaces or Spark Grants).~~ ~~

Fall 2016 - Spring ~~2014~~2017: ~~Start narrow - Get Design for America and Industrial Design Society of America more connected~~ Continue consulting with ~~the Entrepreneurship Club~~ faculty on incorporating innovation/real world problems into projects and ~~establish a relationship between the organizations~~using previous classes work in future class.

~~Spring 2014~~== Tactic 2: Student Awareness ==

~~Spring 2014~~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 on because students are not aware that their are campus ~~next year~~ resources for them to ~~sustain and facilitate~~ take their ideas outside of the ~~relationship~~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.

~~Fall 2014~~<span style="font-family: ~~Reestablish communication and discuss methods to get involved in each other's projects.&nbsp~~Arial; background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap">Spring 2016: Conduct research on student awareness of campus resources

~~Winter 2014~~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.

'''Overview''': We are big university and space is in constant demand. One of the challenges I forsee is finding space in a place that makes sense. This is by no means an impossible task, but it will require heavy networking and communication with the right people. I think the best way to get innovation, design and entrepreneurship to take place on our campus is through finding a maker space! This needs to be a totally communal space that is not allocated to any single discipline. Currently, we have our Romania Studio which is off campus and dedicated to senior Product Design students ONLY. While this is necessary, another space that is similar needs to be available to non-design, non-senior students. Groups like Design for America would love to use a space where they could leave Post-It notes up and work on projects collaboratively. Right now, we are always searching for some space to just sit, work, and pack up and leave. If we could leave ideation material, it may spark interest in other students who come by and use the space as well.

~~Spring 2014~~Tactic 1: ~~Talk to Innovation Partnership Services~~ Develop a workshop series that will teach innovation and entrepreneurship by solving a real world problem

== Tactic 2: Develop a workshop series that will teach innovation and entrepreneurship by focusing on commercializing research that is done on campus ==

Overview: This tactic will rely more on also getting faculty closely involved in the development of the series

I've witnessed many spaces getting abused by students where they get a little comfortable and begin leaving their coffee cups, old work and everything that they don't feel like throwing away. I would hate to have a communal space intended for innovation and creation get trashed by students. I want the space to be very communal and open for use by anyone, but I also think there would need to be some type of monitoring that takes place. This may require getting a board of students that could help run, monitor and control the space. These could be students from all disciplines. Whether or not there will be paid students that will monitor the space is something that will need to be determined as the budget comes in...  ~~'''Milestones''': ~~ ~~Spring 2014: Determine a budget (or not...) ~~ ~~Spring 2014: Identify key students who would be invested in helping see a maker space be successful!~~ ~~Spring 2014: Identify key needs of the space ~~ ~~Fall 2014: Begin getting students to use the space; identify how it is being used~~ ~~Fall 2014: Connect and communicate with students who are interested in participating as board members~~ ~~Fall 2014: Potentially connect IDSA with running this space~~ ~~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.
