This is based off of made possible by organizations like the Realized section of Undergraduate Research Office, OSU Undergraudate Fellowship Office, as well as highly supportive student organizations like the landscape canvasBusiness Builder's Club and Undergraduate Student Government. This section deals with However, due to the ability inherently large nature of students the university, targeted and precise attention to commit to an opportunity, eg; licensing a technology, forming a venturestudent innovation is sometimes difficult, and/or attaining legal status. A review dissuades some of this section reveals that while there exist a few spaces for venture startup/incubation the most passionate and a TTO for protecting intellectual propertycapable students from pursuing long-term innovations. In an effort to remedy such perception, a stark lack of fundingand launch initatives to extend the long-term I&E Ecosystem at Ohio State to advise upon, grantincubate and accelrate student generated ideas, or investment assistance presents itselfthe following Student Priorities Map has been created.

The underlying theme by which this strategy is formed is the fact that there is no centralized institution for financial, advisory and basic technology services offered for student innovation incubation. As such, the tactics employed will seek to create innovation spaces modeled off of the nearby spaces which are off-campus, but include sponsorships and partnerships from the university.

<li>'''Description:''': In the process of mapping student perception of I&E on campus, it was elucidated that the student body population tends to be unaware of misinformed of an ideal resource or facility to move an impassioned idea to the next level. This analysis was performed primarily with science and engineering undergraduate and graduate students, and led to the conclusion that in order to provide an immersive experience for young innovators, innovators need to be better educated as to what resources are conveniently made available for them. As a result, the tactical solutions are two-tiered. Firstly, the university must greatly improve its communication of its resources under a centralized institution, so as to promote innovation and entrepreneurship in one general setting. Secondly, students must be provided with the basic resources necessary to transform an impassioned idea, theory, technology or concept into a pragmatic, human centric, validated initiative. The resources necessary to effectively do so will be discussed extensively below.</li>
</ul>
Andy's research has shown that no small number of innovation cultures have started with a simple place for like minds to gather and discuss ideas in an informal setting- even something as simple as an old closet filled with whiteboards has done the trick! NDSU does not currently have anywhere that students can identify as such a space. Finding a random empty classroom is not an uncommon practice for students looking to work on a project, typically with a few group members, but this comes with its own complications... a class could come in and take the space, students aren't surrounded by any other fresh minds, and the work done in such a space is almost guaranteed to be gone in the morning.
Providing students with a place 'with a sign on the door' designating it as purely a space for students to meet and hang out with innovative and entreprenurial interests in mind will encourage and nourish the formation of ideas and student innovation teams/entrepreneurs, in no particular order. As rules can have a tendency to stifle innovation, the objective is to keep this space as free and open as possible, accessible to all majors and during as much of the day as is feasible.

<li>'''DescriptionMilestones''': There does not currently exist any record of I&E resources on campus- when interviewing faculty and students for the Landscape Canvas, only occasionally did the same resource get mentioned twice. During creation of the canvas, I learned that while NDSU has plenty of cool people doing cool things, very few of them actually know about each other. Fewer still actually talk with each other or attempt to cooperate. We're going to fix that by compiling the most comprehensive single resource index that NDSU has ever seen- a distillation of the Landscape Canvas, with a few tweaks for organization, etc. This will truly allow anyone interested to find out what is going on around campus, the level/scale of the work, and most importantly, who to contact for more information. Think of this: an entire wiki dedicated explicitly to categorizing and displaying all of the innovative activities on campus, editable and accesible by those doing the innovation!<ul span style="margin: 0.3em 0px 0px 1.6em; padding: 0px; line-height: 120.41599998474121px;"><li>'''Team Leader:''': Andrew Dalman.

It was noted upon review of The underlying theme by which this strategy is formed is the landscape canvas fact that NDSU I&E resources there is an increased need for student creativity and innovation in the workplace and in grantthe global market. Appropriately, legalthis has resulted in phenomena like reverse innovation, in which cost effective and financial assistance were found sorely wanting. The ability functional tools are created for teams/individuals to understand how to receive funding is of paramount importance applications in third world countries, and subsequently gain traction in more developed markets ascost saving alternatives. As such, much as we hate the tactics employed below seek to admit it, innovation generally isn't free....patents ''definitely''create immersive entrepreneurial courses where processes aren't free, and turning an idea into a marketable product is something that can kill a project if the financials are not planned for.

Currently, there is little understanding amongst students that work they do that utilizes 'significant university resources' qualifies as university property. The native stance of the IP management system here is to ''protect'' all IP generated, not to''manage and distribute'' it. We hope that, by working with the Tech Transfer Office and university higher-ups, a more transparent system can be developed... one that can be explained to students quickly and efficiently. Most importantly, the delivery system for getting the knowledge to students has to be structured in such a manner that it doesn't scare them off!

<li>Description: The sooner students realize that the faster they can get involved with the campus, potential employers, real world work and experience the more excited they will be about taking the bull by the horns to steer their desires in whichever way they want them to go. Many students dreaded the way their high school educations were conducted. In high school lots of people say, "When am I ever going to use this stuff?" Now is time! Unforetunately, many freshman students have no clue what they want to do with their lives, and others just need to follow the directions to the map they have made in their heads (minority of students). The catering to these "undecided" students is essential to change the mindset of what it is to experience college. (Not just going to parties) The basis of this tactic is to empower students to actively seek hands on skills in their choosen career path. This maybe in the form of jobs, volunteering, clubs, and other outgoing groups.</li>

Students need a work Some innovative research universities like RPI have formed accelerated BS-PhD Programs so as to develop promote an interdiciplinary set of problem solving skills very early on for their ideasstudents. This is an initiative that would be incredibly effective at an institution as large as Ohio State, especially if it were tailored to a small program, much like the Biomedical Science Undergraduate Program. The college of Engineering This program has a number of labs with spacemajor emphasis on research, materials and equipment is limited to further these ideas but they are not open 25 students per year, enabling longitudinal analysis to all NDSU be quite pragmatic. An accelerated BS-PhD degree could potentially increase the quantity and quality of innovation being developed by students and even other Engineering by providing highly motivated students. The only way to get into many of with the labs is to go in during business hours resources, framework, and be of that particular major. Allowing any Engineering student peer ecosystem necessary to access these labs would help provide a starter innovation space pursue their innovations via research and show need for one in the futureimmersive learning.

This would have the same impact as the above tactic, but would involve several different approvals from several different colleges. Dr. Drake seems supportive of this kind of path as it is resemblant of a 21st century emphasis on interdisciplinary team skills. </span></li>
