Developing the talent that UND students possess must be prioritized by faculty in order for a student to grow academically. There are three main areas where the development of talent can blossom into experiences that shape a student’s ability to take on new challenges: looking at resources at the university, improving the development culture and building a sustainable process to support development.
== Grand Challenge Program ==
The University of North Dakota College of Engineering and Mines (CEM) is among more than 120 US Engineering colleges to have committed to the Grand Challenge Scholars Program. Our task is lay the groundwork from a student and faculty perspective to this program designed to broaden Engineer’s academic and practical experience beyond the traditional engineering education.
=== Resources at UND<br/> ===
<span style="font-size: 12px;">We will be working with the Jodsaas Center, which is designed to further Engineering leadership and Entrepreneurship by providing students opportunities within business, entrepreneurship and leadership. We will combining this with the opportunities already available through the Center for Innovation, and our Student Entreprenuership Club to leverage this opportunity for the benefit of the students.</span>
=== <span style="font-size: 12px;"></span>Peer to Peer Networking and Learning<br/> ===
<span style="font-size: 12px;">We have noticed that with the Engineering program housed in their own building, students within that program are not engaging with students within the Entrepreneurship, Business and Liberal Arts programs. Our goal will be to use this as a starting point to engage all of the students, and get creativity and innovation flowing across campus.</span>
=== <span style="font-size: 12px;"></span>Building a Sustainable Program ===
We are looking to build off of 1 Grand Challenge event regarding interviewing skills, to build a set up 6-8 sessions during the 2016-2017 academic year. If we can build a beneficial program designed for students, we believe we can sustain the program for years to come.
=== Strategic Action Agenda No. 2: ===
· Recruit a group of 15-30 students who are interested in improving their interviewing skills
· Bring in outside speakers who are experienced with this topic
· Provide a half-day experiential learning opportunity for the students with a mix of lecture and practice.
· Report results back to the CEM to show progress, with a plan for future series of events next academic year.
