2016 Spring

= Overview =

The primary priorities for ~~this~~ the Fall 2017 cohort are to: #Build awareness and visibility of interdisciplinary courses on campus, especially for first-year students. #Combat the following issues with I&E resources on campus: they are too competitive with each other, they are too exclusive, they serve too small a niche, and they are inaccessible. === '''Strategy #1: Build awareness and visibility of interdisciplinary courses on campus, especially for first-year students. ''' === *Craft in-person experiences where we can engage with first-year students.*Encourage hands-on activity and experimental learning, as a gateway to enrolling in the course. *Use social atmospheres to advertise and help students catch the "design bug".  = Strategy #2:'' '''''Combat the following issues with I&E resources on campus: they are too competitive with each other, they are too exclusive, they serve too small a niche, and they are inaccessible. ''' = *'''Tactic #1: Resources are in constant competition with each other. '''**Currently, different I&E initiatives on campus are competing for funding, visibility, and students. How might we encourage them to work together, and also prevent further competitive initiatives from beginning?**Create a map of I&E resources available to students at Georgia Tech. Use the following categories to sort the resources: maker space, mentorship, funding, classes, events, industry connections**Use the map to display 1) what of the 6 categories is offered at what initiative, 2) where partnerships exist, 3) how students can get involved, and 4) how partners can get involved. **Incentivize partnerships (as in, instead of creating your own makerspace with a special mentorship program only for one major, partner with a currently existing makerspace to create a mentorship program) by using it as a status symbol on the map. *'''Tactic #2: Resources are too exclusive, and silo-ed off in different departments. '''**something*'''Tactic #3: Resources serve too small a niche, leaving some students without options. '''**something*'''Tactic #4: Resources are too inaccessible, and too under-the-radar'''**something = ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- = The primary priorities for Spring 2017 are to:

#Teach students to be more innovative, by involving the industry in all capstone projects and internships.
