== <brspan style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Proposal #1: Creating a CAP class for all majors ==

Problem Statement: The University of Dayton likes to pride themselves as a school for innovation and entrepreneurship, however I&E is very secluded within the School of Engineering and the School of Business, making other majors feel excluded. <br/span> =

= ~~Strategy #4~~Proposal: ~~Incorporate~~ The University should create a CAP (Common Academic Program) class that incorporates design thinking for every major to take. This would expand the knowledge of I&E ~~Into Coursework~~to not only a select few hundred people, but thousands across campus. ~~ =~~

~~One of the most important ways to foster a culture of innovation~~ Key Tactics: To complete this project and ~~entrepreneurship within~~ make a ~~school is to incorporate these mindsets into classroom experiences. While student run clubs and extra-curricular are all great ways to drive passion~~ new CAP class for ~~innovation~~everyone, ~~but the only way~~ there are going to ~~guarantee that all students gain this valuable mindset is~~ have to ~~enforce it~~ be a lot of small steps taken in ~~the classroom. For this reason, we are proponents of changing/adding classes~~ order to complete the ~~university's curriculum that pull in students from~~ over all majors and encourage a collaborative culture within those students.  We want to foster an environment in which students are excited about working with students from other majors because we feel that this not only creates a more successful product, but prepares them for the real world in which they will be forced to work with others who may not share their same perspectivegoal.

#Create a one day activity around design thinking and run it over with team and mentour. Get feedback and make tweaks to the class.#Meet with professors of every major and ask if you can do a "desgin class takeover day" and takeover there classes to teach design thinking. Have them complete activities that include design thinking. #Get feedback from both the professors as well as the students. #~~Tactic~~ Make changes to what happened within the class and develop on a broader scale. #1Hold events for all students to come and ~~Expand the Engineering Innovations Course~~learn about design thinking and get feedback#Develop a full semester course that deals with bringing together all majors to inspire I&E within every students#Present idea of full course, with feedback from take over days to the CAP board and get feedback on how to better the entire course <br/span> ==

~~The school of engineering currently offers an introductory course~~ While this project will mainly be lead by me, I will need help from my other UIF fellows as well as getting together many people from different majors to see what they would like to have included within the class and how it may better prepare them for ~~all engineering students that focuses on engineering innovation~~the furture. ~~This course has~~ A big component to the ~~potential to~~ success of my project will be ~~expanded to students across the entire university~~ Ian Sikora, as ~~an intro~~ his idea is to hold a design thinking challenge day. I~~&E course. With~~ can observe and get feedback from this event and allow it to benefit the ~~help~~ production of the ~~UIF cohort, the course can be redesigned to include entrepreneur content and make a lasting impression on students which they can carry through their time in college~~class.

== ~~Tactic~~ Proposal #2: ~~Instill I&E Concepts in Existing Courses~~Revamp of Up the Orgs ==

~~While it is tempting to create new courses that teach I&E principles~~~~The addition~~ Moving forward from the prototype, we will need to implement steps that will take a couple of months to develop in order to complete the ~~planned makerspace to~~ revamp of ‘Up the ~~University~~ Orgs’. First, we will develop a list of ~~Dayton I~~key terms that would help describe the organizations on campus. Creating a list for clubs will identify core values in a organization that students would be interested in developing upon. The students’ interest can lead them into wanting to be involved in a club that further implements that passion for a key term, &~~E ecosystem provides educators with~~ nbsp;such as “service-based”. Next, we will develop an ~~opportunity~~ online form that will list key terms for the clubs to fill out. With the help of the Center of Student Involvement, we will send these forms out and get feedback from each club. The general process for each club would ask them to select five key terms that describes their organization to ~~incorporate an innovative mindset~~ avoid excessively selecting of key-terms, such as 30. After the results are in ~~the courses~~ , we will go through and develop a survey that will help link students with clubs they ~~teach. This~~ can be ~~accomplished through creating homework~~ interested in. For example, we will send a survey to students and have them pick 5 key terms they value or ~~group projects~~ have a passion for. After they complete it, the survey will indicate the clubs that correlate to those key terms. On Fall 2019, we hope to have separated the key terms by specific days of the week. There will also be a developed map online that ~~require~~ will have all of the organization on the main campus for the following week. The map will allow students to ~~not only use~~ have an easier time finding and connect with organizations. In addition, it will allow club members to recruit individuals who have a passionate for their organization.  Once the ~~makerspace~~first revamp is finished, ~~but collaborate with~~ I will witness and ask fellow students their ~~group members to reach innovative solutions to course assignments~~intact of the new ‘Up the Orgs’. If there are any complaints multiple times, I will do my duty of making the revamp of ‘Up the Orgs’ better.

== ~~Strategy~~ Proprosal #53: ~~Develop Student Experiential Resources~~Design Thinking Day <br/span> ==

While ~~there was an Air Force Hackathon held locally in recent years,~~ the ~~University of Dayton has yet to sponsor a hackathon~~ school focuses on ~~their own campus. Hackathons are a great way to engage students in a fun and exciting approach to~~ bringing the I&E~~. There is a great ammount~~ mindset to the schools of ~~potential to bring students together from many different departments within~~ business and the ~~university in order to solve a common problem. In addition to fostering multidisciplinary collaborations~~school of engineering, ~~a hackathon has~~ the ~~potential to introduce a wide variety~~ other academic departments are often being left out of ~~students to innovation based activities~~these developments.~~ ~~

== ~~Tactic #2~~Proposal: ~~Get Students Involved with Design Competitions~~ ==

~~Based on faculty input~~Create a yearly design-a-thon that is open to foster multidisciplinary collaborations. One potential way to accomplish this is for the UIF cohort to organize design teams to compete in national design competitions as well as locally hosted competitions for University of Dayton all students. ~~Competition formats would range from poster presentations, pitching ideas, or rapid prototype development. In order for these events to be highly inclusive of students from all parts of~~ Teaching everyone who attend about innovation through the ~~university, challenges will be selected which focus on innovative approaches to problems rather than technical ability. The previously mentioned hackathons will be able to build off~~ practice of ~~these competitions in order to quickly move ideas generated in~~ the design ~~competitions into an early prototype phase~~process in several creative scenarios.~~ ~~

= ~~Related Links~~Key Tactics: Identification, research, and development<br/span> =

[[1.)    Identify a facility member to sponsor the event and get it to be a University ~~of Dayton]]~~sanctioned event

2.)    Survey around campus to gauge interest in the event 3.)    Using data gathered from surveying, research locations that would be large enough for at least ten teams to gather, design, and prototype 4.)    Work with innovations teachers to develop a design thinking and design process lectures for non-engineering students 5.)    Create several scenarios that could be used for the competition 6.)    Research the price of crafts supplies 7.)    Apply for funding, as well as get a gift card for winning prize 8.)    Set a date for the event, and schedule the facility 9.)    Run the event, learn from it and improve. == Proposal #4: TEDx on Campus == Background: TEDx“is an international community that organizes TED-style events anywhere and everywhere -- celebrating locally-driven ideas and elevating them to a global stage” according to Google’s main definition. I like TEDx because of the content they provide and for what they stand for. So many of their episodes incorporate multiple viewpoints for different subjects. Their videos can be inspiring, thoughtful, and can tach multiple things to an individual. With our goals on I&E, we hope to provide multiple episodes on I&E through their format. Getting Started: To get started, we need a License for TEDx. Through their website, we can apply and try to get a License through them. Once we get a license, we can follow their rules and set up locations or times. Goals: #Get at least 50 people to an events#Hold at least one event before we all goto Stanford and get inducted.#Get at least a few people from every school at Dayton to be included in our process of holding a TEDx event.#Get help from someone who has hosted a TEDx events Who to talk to: #People from other schools.#People who have hosted TEDx events.#People in the City of Dayton who would help those get into our session. Deadlines: #Our Trip to Stanford is in Marchish.#We want a license by November 15th#Want a committee for help by the end of our semester.#Get Financing, publicity, and other needs by the End of January.#Host the TEDx event by March. This gives us (hopefully) the entire month of February and March to get this done. = '''Spring 2018 Priorities ''' = == '''Proposal #1: Creating a Collaborative Space''' == Problem Statement Kettering Labs, or KL, is the engineering building at UD. Many students feel like it does not have a convenient place to study or do group work. The only public place for student use is a first floor lounge with furniture that is not suited for academic work. Proposal The basement of KL is virtually unused and contains many rooms that are large enough to be a group study space. I created a prototype floor plan using a central room and pictures of furniture found online, including team tables with presenting monitors, group standing desks, and modular couches.  Feedback The feedback I received for students was very positive. Most had no suggestions for changes besides minor tweaks to the furniture and requests for many outlets to be installed. Moving forward, I will be presenting to faculty and facilities managment to hear their feedback and to find out what the next steps would be to move this proposal forward. == '''Proposal #2: Crossing CAP Courses''' == === '''Problem Statement''' === '''At the University of Dayton , all students are required to take 10 CAP courses, which stands for the Common Academic Program. This requires students to take courses in humanties such as philosophy, english, history, etc. One issue that is brought up is that students opt for the easiest classes and ones that best fit their schedule instead of ones they are interested in. ''' === Proposal === '''Instead of having the 10 CAP courses, have the CAP courses be more focused on engineering themes, so they engineers will be more interested and represented in humanties. This would also allow for a better understanding of engineering in both theory and in the workplace, thus further preparing them upon graduation.''' '''After surveying engineering students, many students still wanted the CAP courses to not focus on engineering topics, but they still wanted more from their courses. Many of them suggested ideas such as allowing for those classes to be replaced by getting minors in other fields such as Computer Science, Business, etc. ''' == '''Proposal #3: Developing a Resouce for Locating Vacant Rooms'''''' ''' == '''Problem Statements and RoadBlocks''' #Students want study spaces avaible in KL for collaborative working in the evening/weekends#Size and Layout of KL is rather static. Administration is already working hard to optimize space. #There is little space to rearrage the layout of the building# TAs tend to reserve larger rooms for office hours, which is not always necessary# Student ~~Priorities~~have no way to reserve study space unless it is for club events#Students cannot see which rooms are unoccupied #Adding/Renovating collaborative spaces in KL may not be possible because there is already overcrowding. Labs and Offices are at capasity '''Potential Solution''' #Create a universal systems for students to check which rooms are available to use outside of the class hours.# Optimize use of reserved space by using smaller rooms for office hours or combining multiple TAs into one room for various office hours '''Plan of Action''' #Adapt the layout of the Library's System to KL to view which rooms are available.#Create an applciation to show a map and highlight the free rooms in KL, posting when they are help for classes/meetings.#Speak with the Dean to optimize spaces for TA's. Propose alternative spaces that are smaller or larger spaces that are condensed '''Other Information''' #Roesh Library has a room reservation tool on their website with a listing of available study rooms and team rooms and the abiliry to reserve them for up to a 3 hour window == '''Proposal #4: Establishing a Living Learning Community''' == '''The University of Dayton offers a variety of Integrated Learning Living Communities(ILLC) where first year students are able to live together based upon shared interests and passions. The proposal is to establish an ILLC for Engineering and Innovation that would allow first year Engineering students the abiltiy to live together and begin practicing essential networking and problem solving skills that will help them develop into future successful engingeers and problem solvers''' = Related Links = [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/University_of_Dayton 'University of Dayton']
