Overview
Milwaukee School of Engineering is excited to share with you the strategies we have created for establishing I&E on campus and in our community. We currently have a presence on campus,but feel that it is too disperse and needs to be connected, strengthened, and highlighted as a priority in order to educate and excite people about the power of I&E.
On this page you will find five strategies to create a presence of I&E on our MSOE campus that will help students, faculty, staff, the community, and all other people where our outreach extends to learn and get excited about brainstorming, entrepreneurship, innovative thinking, forming creative solutions, thinking future-forward, prototyping, design thinking, and implementation.
Strategies for Expansion of Innovation and Entrepreneurship on Campus

Strategy Four: Series of Innovative and Entrepreneurial Events
== Once the first step of creating the makerspace on campus is complete, there a number of events, ideas, and activities that the space will be used for. One way the space will serve I&E is through different events on campus that are listed below. These include (but are not limited to) Speakers and TED Talks, Pop-Up Classes, an annual Make-a-thon, I&E Workshops, and a number of other events that are sure to pop up as the space becomes utilized and available to other groups on and off of campus. These events can be brought to the space by student organizations, faculty and staff, interested students, the community, professors for class applications, the unviersity, and a number of other avenues. Find example of activities below. === Speakers and TED Talks
=== Bringing speakers to our campus and our makerspace to talk about I&E would be an amazing way to motivate students to get involved and get thinking about I&E. We would like speakers to cover topics such as startups, design thinking, entrepreneurial financing, and many other topics. We would really like to see the TED-X Speakers come to our campus and present to our students, faculty and staff, the community and any other interested party. TED talks would be a great way to expand knowledge and interest in the I&E field. We would also like to see our own faculty speak about the research that they are a part of outside of classes and office hours so that we can get to know what it is that they are truly passionate about. === Pop-Up Classes
=== These classes are an opportunity for those with experience in I&E to share that experience and for those who want to learn more/ expand their knowledge to continue to grow in I&E. Classes would cover topics such as brainstorming, prototyping, design thinking, and creating innovative solutions. === Make-a-thon
=== An annual Make-a-thon would provide students an opportunity to collaborate between disciplines and to work together to think in terms of I&E and come up with new, future-forward ideas. This is an event for students to come together, brainstorm, prototype, and possible implement and idea that they are passionate about. === I&E Workshops
=== Workshops would be a more hands-on version of the pop-up classes that would allow students the opportunity to drop in a session and learn a few things about I&E by physically prototyping, brainstorming, and creating ideas.
Strategy Five: Lack of involvement from staff/faculty to ensure we move forward
== The key to success through change on campus stems from transparent communication between staff/faculty and students. To maintan constant transparent communication, the campus community would benefit from a monthly fish bowl exercise between staff/faculty and students. The fish bowl exercise would consist of a safe space for students to communicate with higher level staff/faculty who are stakeholders at MSOE and have the power to implement change. The exercise would have have two rounds: 1) Staff/faculty in the middle and students on the outside 2) Students in the middle and staff/faculty on the outside. Students would submit any question they wanted to discuss via an anonymous survey and a facilitator would run the discussion between staff/faculty and students. Staff/faculty would ensure that the space is welcoming for students to feel comfortable sharing how they feel about campus. The fish bowl exercises could be broken down into categories per month such as academics, student life, athletics, internships, etc. The fish bowl exercise would also be live streamed and recorded for students and staff/faculty that could not attend that month's meeting. = MSOE Makerspace: = Stay tuned! There is more to come on the Makerspace as we get information and develop the space furthur. This will be an exciting space for the internal operations, external operations, community, and students, faculty and staff at MSOE. It will be a space for events, activities, studying, collaboration, speakers, outside events, community involvement, and many MANY other applications.
