Tactic- Compile a list of current on campus activities and allow students to add or edit activites as needed
= Engineering Majors Wide Lab Access =
Innovation has two parts, idea formation and idea development. Idea formation needs space for the idea formers to meet up, but the idea development where the product is made requires workspace that has materials, machines, computers, and other resources. One nice thing is that the College of Engineering has a wide array of majors and labs with the resources neccesary to create almost anything. The main issue is that these resources are very hard to use unless you are of that major. If an electical engineer has a project that needs something 3d printed they cannot go into the lab and use it. If a Mechanical Engineer needs to use a computer for CADD and their lab is full they cannot get into another computer lab of another major that is empty. For some strange reason there is not nearly enough interdisciplinary work done. The resources are there, all engineers are under the College of Engineering, why can't engineers use any lab?
Goal- Allow access of all labs by all Engineers and allow more interdisciplinary work to occur
Tactic- Develop relationships between the heads of each department and convince them working together is beneficial
Tactic- Open access to computer labs first
Tactic- Transition computer lab access into the hands on labs with equipment
