Changes

<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">Southern Illinois University Carbondale is in need of a little push towards the communal adoption of I&E. While our resources are tangible, they are vastly underutlized. It is our responsibility and intention as University Innovation Fellows to address the problem head on and with conviction. After several years of ineffective marketing attempts at the student level, it is apparent that a more proactive approach toward resource utilization needs to made. This why we are beginning to look at how SIU and other universities must adapt from outputing students under the Industrial model to fostering growth in students for the Information Age.</span></span>

This would introduce freshman to design thinking as soon as they come to campus and teach students how to create their own projects. The course has the potential to mold SIU into a more innovative campus.</span></span></span></span>

<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">-TBD</span></span>

<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">Description: 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. #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, nuts, 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 and they learn about the tools they need through trial and error. This process more directly engages students in critical thinking. The 2nd change 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 civilization, such as the Pantheon in Rome, were built 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. It's time to make a change.</span></span>

<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">-Finished our learning class in the Fall of 2014</span></span>

<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">Description: Go around to all of the individual, design-based programs at the school. Introduce them to UIF, and talk to them about the benefits of pooling our resources as a campus into one large-scale Makerspace. Talk to program leaders, Deans, professors, and supportive alumni. Get the word out about what we're doing, and brainstorm ways to achieve it.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></span>

<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">- Get ideas and support for this project</span></span>

<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">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;</span></span>

<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">- Making a comprehensive list of the resources and innovation groups on campus</span></span>

<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">Description: This will probably be the most challenging part of the project. We will need to find a location, figure out funding, get various permissions from the university, and get actual support and permission from the university. We will most likely try to use an existing building, as there is already limited space on campus for a new building.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></span>

<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">- Acquire materials to fill space with</span></span>

<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">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;</span></span>

<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">- Makerspace is well-maintained</span></span>
