= Overview =

*UIFs can reach out to existing I&E-related organizations, clubs, faculty, groups, etc. and share their mission and goals with them. Gradually, we can create a larger community with a common language that is self-aware of its existence and is able to make change in larger scale.

== Strategic: Resource Map ==

UW-Milwaukee is a huge campus with over 28,000 students and many resources. The problem is that because there are so many resources, students can’t find the one they are looking for which can be extremely frustrating. What our solution is, is to create a centralized resource map that details where students can go to when they need certain equipment, to talk to certain people, to find out which class to take to get more information, and more. By creating this map, we want to save students and staff time and also make it more accessible for new students to get involved with Innovation & Entrepreneurship.

We will need to: 1) Gather all resources from canvas and make sure there is no duplicates (due 11-20-2016), 2) Convert information from canvas into a map of UW-Milwaukee (due 11-30-2016), 3) Conduct survey for students to see how much knowledge they have on I&E on locations and such (due 12-15-2016), 4) Use information on survey to pinpoint on map which resources are known and which are not (due 1-20-2017), 5) Develop an updated map of the resources (due 1-30-2017), 6) Survey map with students to get their feedback (due 2-15-2016)

== Teacher Review Process ==

As students, we have noticed gaps in the way that university professors are evaluated. Currently, at least in the business school, students are given a paper evaluation form to submit, that is read by the teachers months and months later. From what we have seen and experienced. it seems that teachers are either not receiving valuable feedback, or not heeding the feedback that they do receive. Our potential project would be to change the way that the teachers are being evaluated to an in-person interview with the students by a neutral party.  We have not yet defined the problem well enough however, because we haven't spoken with a multitude of teachers.

We will need to, 1) Conduct interviews with professors, to see where their pain is in the review process, 2) Conduct interviews with students to see if they think the current model is effective, 3) Formulate a solution (if different from above), 4) Possibly test this solution in the classes that are already trending towards more innovative teaching methods.

= Creating New Opportunities  =

*I&E Landscape Kiosk in the Student Union

*I&E Hub in the Library

== Virtual Reality Headset and Software ==

In order to enhance our I&E on campus, bringing Virtual Reality headset and software will be key. This technology would especially help out the architecture and engineering schools. By having this new technology, students in the field will be able to enhance their prototyping and knowledge on their field material. Non-architecture and engineering students are welcomed to use the technology themselves as the technology is versatile in all majors. Because this technology is so new and exciting, we are hoping it will get students interested about I&E.

We will need to: 1) find out if anyone on campus is doing research with VR (due 11-30-2016), 2) Determine cost of VR and how to fund it (due 12-30-2016), 3)-If there are grants, ask professionals to help us write it (due 1-30-2017), 4) Draft up grant writing (2-15-2017), 5) Review grant writing with professionals (3-1-2017), 6) Submit grant proposal (5-1-2017) 

== ''''''Venture Captial (Dorm Fund) ==

During an assignment where we had to talk with fellows from other universities about our landscape canvases, one of the UWM fellows came across a fellow who had a venture capital fund running out of his school, Rowan University. After talking with him about this fund, and finding out about a similar student-run fund out of Marquette University, we think that a student-run venture capital fund might possibly be valuable on campus. We think this because, mainly, students wouldn't have to go all the way through a program to be funded by the university. The money that the university has right now to support innovative ideas is only at the end of competitions, or the culmination of different programs. If someone happens to miss a deadline, they may just be out of luck for funding their idea until the next term comes around.

We could start the potential planning of a student run venture capital fund by, 1) interviewing students to see the need for business idea funding, 2) conduct interviews with the students at Marquette university, 3) Talk to the people at our school that already have money to distribute, and see if they have any feedback, 4) Look at the track record for how many students have gotten or needed funding in the past. 5) Create a plan for gaining donations for the venture fund, 6) Find out the structure and logistical information about holding money at a university.<o:p></o:p>
