Description hereAt MSOE, students are highly capable and technically skilled, but often lack opportunities to apply those skills to real, campus-impacting problems before graduation. “Engineering the MSOE Experience” aims to bridge this gap by creating a structured program or course where students from all majors can collaborate on real-world projects that directly improve university operations, facilities, and student life. By aligning with the Raider Core and CREATE Institute, this initiative transforms campus into a living laboratory where students learn by doing while driving visible change.
*Timeframe hereFirst pilot course or project launch by Spring 2026.
==Priority 3: Engineering the MSOE Experience==
===Timeframe===
Pilot program design and partner engagement during the 2025–26 academic year.
===Point People===
===Key Tactics===
*list'''Integrate with existing structures:''' Combine elements of Raider Core and Integrated Learning requirements to give students academic credit for project-based work.*list'''Engage industry and campus partners:''' Collaborate with Facilities, Dining, Athletics, and external organizations to identify real challenges that can become student projects.*list'''Develop a sustainable course model:''' Ensure projects can continue beyond one term by implementing hand-off systems and industry mentorship.* '''Lower opportunity cost for participation:''' Build the program into the curriculum rather than making it an extracurricular commitment.* '''Create measurable impact:''' Track improvements made to campus systems and highlight student contributions through showcases and digital portfolios.* '''Partner with Milwaukee Radio Station:''' We will create a podcast showcasing the projects of the students
==Priority 4: Creating a Spring Hackathon (HackMKE)==
*Everybody is motivated by different things; find ways for everybody to find value.
*Create an opportunity for people of all backgrounds (majors, years, etc.) to participate. That means find ways to teach people how to use new coding tools regardless of coding experience. *Find sponsors for the event that can provide value such as prize money and food. In return find ways for the event to provide value back to the companies.
