== ~~Strategy~~ Proposal #21: ~~Inspiring Students (TEDxUdayton)~~Creating a CAP class for all majors ==

~~Hosting~~ Problem Statement: The University of Dayton likes to pride themselves as a ~~TEDxUdayton with individuals with a proven mindset in~~ school for innovation and entrepreneurship, however I&E ~~will help inspire students who want to understand what it takes to succeed in innovation and entrepreneurship. A dual focus will on that students leave with~~ is very secluded within the ~~knowledge~~ School of ~~resources on campus, to learn, experiment, pursue~~ Engineering and ~~spin out after~~ the ~~presentation. Standard Symposium offers the perfect time to host this event. Is an all-day event to celebrate graduate and undergraduate academic achievements~~School of Business, ~~in addition all course are canceled so that students can engage in any number of events that fit their interest~~making other majors feel excluded.

== ~~<span style="color~~Proposal: ~~rgb~~The University should create a CAP (~~0, 0, 0~~Common Academic Program)~~; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14~~class that incorporates design thinking for every major to take.~~6667px; font-weight: 700; white-space: pre-wrap; line-height: 1~~This would expand the knowledge of I&E to not only a select few hundred people, but thousands across campus.~~38; background-color: transparent~~ ~~">Problem Addressed~~ ==

~~~~~~As the School of Engineering gears itself towards~~ Key Tactics: To complete this project and make a ~~strategic plan to renovate Kettering Labs (home to engineering) it is important that we accelerate the culture of I&E. Students need~~ new CAP class for everyone, there are going to have ~~an awakening of the resources available~~ to ~~them currently and in the future. Hosting~~ be a ~~TEDx event that feature successful innovators and entrepreneur will give students a confidence~~ lot of small steps taken in ~~themselves~~ order to ~~pursue their own ideas~~complete the over all goal.~~~~

== #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.~~6667px~~  #Get feedback from both the professors as well as the students.  #Make changes to what happened within the class and develop on a broader scale.  ~~white~~#Hold events for all students to come and learn about design thinking and get feedback#~~Implementation~~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  ==

~~~~~~Pitch~~ 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 the furture. A big component to the success of my project will be Ian Sikora, as his idea is to ~~the Provost Office~~ hold a design thinking challenge day. I can observe and get feedback from this event and ~~again approval~~ allow it to ~~proceed~~benefit the production of the class.~~~~

~~~~= ~~Collaborate with Provost Office and Standard Symposium Day committee, for commitment to host in 2017.~~Proposal #2: Revamp of Up the Orgs==

<span style="color: rgb(29, 33, 38); font-~~size~~variant-numeric: ~~14.6667px~~normal; font-~~family~~variant-east-asian: ~~Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0)~~normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap~~; background-color: transparent~~;">~~Test attendance~~ 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 revamp of ‘Up the Orgs’. First, we will develop a list of 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,  such as “service-based”. Next, we will develop an 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 avoid excessively selecting of key-terms, such as 30. After the results are in, we will go through and develop a survey that will help link students with clubs they can be interested in. For example, we will send a survey to students and have them pick 5 key terms they value or 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 will have all of the organization on the main campus for the following week. The map will allow students to have an easier time finding and connect with organizations. In addition, it will allow club members to recruit individuals who have a ~~few speakers at~~ passionate for their organization.  Once the first revamp is finished, I will witness and ask fellow students their intact of the new ‘Up the ~~2016 Standard Symposium~~Orgs’.If there are any complaints multiple times, I will do my duty of making the revamp of ‘Up the Orgs’ better.

~~'''~~~~I think one of the most important ways to foster a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship within a school is to incorporate these traits into the classroom. &nbsp~~<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);~~Clubs and extra~~background-~~curriculars are all great ways to further your passion for innovation, but the only way to guarantee that all students gain this valuable mindset is to enforce it in the classroom. &nbsp~~color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal;~~I believe that one of the best parts of our makerspace is that it provides professors an added resource to promote an innovative mindset within their students. &nbsp~~font-variant-east-asian: normal;~~This includes assigning homework or group project assignments that require students to not only use the makerspace, but collaborate with their group members. &nbsp~~vertical-align: baseline;~~Collaboration with this makerspace is key, because our goal is for the entire university to benefit from this advanced and creative~~ white-space~~, not just engineers~~: pre-wrap;">2. )  ~~For this reason, we are proponents of changing/adding classes to the university's curriculum that pull in students from 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 perspective.  ~~In summary, we want the makerspace~~ Survey around campus to ~~play a significant role~~ gauge interest in the ~~university's curriculum by encouraging collaboration with students from different majors and mindsets. ~~event~~'''~~

~~[[Reid Fuente|Reid Fuente]]~~== Proposal #4: TEDx on Campus ==

~~[[Daniela Lopez|Daniela Lopez]]~~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 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'] University Innovation Fellows Spring 2018: [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Baylor_Franck Baylor Franck] [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Anna_Hecht Anna Hecht] [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Brian_SIkora Brian Sikora] [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Jennifer_Welch Jennifer Welch] Spring 2017: [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/David_Fink David Fink] [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Khalilah_Manson Khalilah Manson] [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Madalyn_Beban Madalyn Beban] Spring 2016: [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Cameron_Crasto Cameron Crasto] [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Suzy_Dorsey Suzy Dorsey] [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Reid_Fuente Reid Fuente] [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Daniela_Lopez Daniela Lopez] [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Devin_Spatz Devin Spatz~~|Devin Spatz]~~]
