== Tactic #2 - Open Up Dialogue Between Colleges via Resource Network ==
Description:
All too often we witness the spark in a students eye when they first realize how conceivable their bright new idea really is when they consider working with other College departments. However, more times than not, without a direct connection to desired college it can be difficult and frustrating to assemble a team. Simply cold calling a department phone number or emailing a student club should not be the only option. We propose to create comprehensive database network of involved innovators across all major departments in the univeristy. Not a directory, a network. These voluntary contacts on this database will be predetermined ambassadors of their department or group who give their permission to be contacted by fellow student innovators in search of knowledge specific to their venture. Opening up dialogue between departments for reasons outside of the classroom is a great way to collaborate on ideas.&nbsp;=== Tactic #2 - Open Up Dialogue Between Colleges via Resource Network ===

Makerspaces, clubs, research, and guest speakers are all great things that can add to the&nbsp;Innovative and Entrepreneurial environment on a college campus. However, the major determining factor for the quality of the education a student recieves is the core curriculum taught in every area of the university. By creating a future&nbsp;Design&nbsp;of what Southern Illinois University might look like, if I&E were the inspiration, SIU can begin to&nbsp;Implement&nbsp;changes in the classroom now. This includes two major changes to the current curriculum. === Tactic #1 We need to go from teaching a tool based approach to teaching from a problem or goal based approach that directly engages students with a challenge. For example to learn about engines under the current model students must learn about all the tools- Research, nutsDesign, and bolts 1st before ever touching an engine. Under a problem based approach students are engaged with the challenge of fixing or building an engine from day 1 Implement classes and they learn about the tools they need through trial and error. This process more directly engages students in critical thinking. The 2nd change classrooms that needs to occur in SIU's curriculm is to begin combining the Arts and Engineering. This does exist in a few areas on campus but the core curriculm doesn't address this need. All the great achievements of human civilizationfoster Innovation, such as the Pantheon in RomeCreativity, were built and Engagement with Art, Design, and Engineering in total collaboration yet the Industrial model of most universities including SIU doesn't yet reflect this. Instead engineers and scientists are in one building and artists and designers in another, often never crossing eachothers' path inside a classroom.

Milestones:
=== Tactic #2 - Collect information about people and resources<br/> ===
Description:Make a comprehensive list of the various resources that could be together in the Makerspace. For example, our campus has a small Makerspace group, a robotics club, and a Business Incubator. This will help us decide how the space will be organized to reflect the needs of the various groups using it.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Description:Once the Makerspace is built, we need people to use it! The space will have spots where programs that were using their own spaces will be able to meet, and the space will have regular events. We also plan on trying to have classes centered around innovation to take place in the Makerspace.&nbsp;&nbsp;
