Changes
=2023 Under Graduate FEIT UIF=
As the undergraduate leaders of UTS's Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology and UIF, our overarching goal is to revamp and prioritise I&E engagement and development post COVID-19. There has been a decline in accessible information, student-faculty engagement and faculty-based community innovation. Though this is a space that is rapidly changing, our group sees potential to make a long-lasting impact and change to foster UTS's 2027 Vision and beyond.<br />
==Strategy: 1 - Increase Student Awareness and Engagement of I&E activities available at UTS==
Milestone 4 has an emphasis on building community and maintaining connections. Many students are unwilling to attend new events or try new experiences if they do not already have an established community there or are unable to convince a friend to join them. Having a strong community that is welcoming to newcomers is an important part of maintaining students in the long run. This milestone may take the form of group chats, individual outreaches and future catch ups for those who have attended the innovation spaces previously. Additionally, we will encourage TD students or past students who have been attended the workshop and to run the workshop in the future, allowing the project to run sustainably and long term.
==Strategy: 2 -Emphasize the importance of community engagement and education through recognising and working towards a common goal==
In today's rapidly changing world, universities are not just centers for academic learning but also hubs of community engagement, innovation, and societal impact. The second strategic priority recognises that education is not confined to the walls of a classroom. Rather, it extends far beyond. By finding a way to encompass the entire community and society at large to work towards a common goal, a positive learning environment is fostered and will indefinitely led to generations guiding generations to encourage and make positive transformations in the world.
'''<br />'''Milestone 1: [Planting the Seed] - Establish a community and define a common goal'''
They say a movement begins with a leader, but history has shown us that every monumental change needs a community. The first milestone is establishing a collective force that embodies shared values to build a network of individuals with a common goal in mind. In this phase, clearly defining a common goal is important to define the impact the community would like to make. As discovered through student interviews there was a collective desire for a creative outlet where they could freely experiment, tinker, and innovate without the constant weight of exams and marks. Seeking a relaxed and inclusive environment, students want opportunities to explore and develop their design, creative, and communication skills. Furthermore, it became evident that society shares a profound concern for pressing global issues that frequently dominate headlines: climate change, carbon emissions, sustainability, and the like.
