In fact, after a thorough investigation into our campus resources via the UIF University Landscape Canvas assignment, we identified that multiple I&E pipelines exist within Boise State. The confusion of opportunities that are offered,assumed overlap of those opportunities, and implied competition of these pipelines, are problems that our UIF team identified.  Additionally, after conducting student interviews and further investigation into the student culture at Boise State, we uncovered the problems of isolation, lack ofcommunity andsense of belonging, and an overall lack of empowerment among students to take advantage of resources and pursue opportunities. These are significant barriers in terms of students engaging with the pipeline and pursuing innovation and entrepreneurship at Boise State University. == Strategy #1 Landscape Experience Exhibitions == A physical pathway would be constructed that would contain the phases of innovation and entrepreneurship, along with all of the various resources available within each phase (as stepping stones). It may include video components or personal stories from students who have pursued an entrepreneurial or innovative endeavour. The pathway would be mobile and serve as a traveling exhibition to infiltrate isolated areas of campus.<div><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">A Virtual reality experience would be crafted to  introduce students to resources connected to Innovation and Entrepreneurship on the Boise State Campus. The experience would be crafted so that students at each level of the landscape canvas would have access to the different levels of resources and support.</div>== STRATEGY #2 Physical Game Board - Explore Challenge == <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">My prototype would be a physical hand out to give students to mimic a game board. It would be a scavenger hunt for resources across campus that would help them learn more about internship or work experience opportunities at Boise State. If the scavenger hunt is completed during their first year as a Bronco, they would be given a prize or award. Although the explore challenge would be would be feeding into external motivation, the real takeaway for student would be the connection to what resources are available. This answers the question of - Which Internship might be a fit for me? And addresses the problem of - How do I get work experience in college? Having students graduate with full resumes and projects they can point to that they have completed will probably increase their chances of landing a job they actually like after college. They will be more prepared to interview for positions but also will have a more narrowed focus on what their interests are based on their past experiences.<div> </div> = Spring 2017 Priorities = [http://printapplink.com/metric/?mid=&wid=51824&sid=&tid=7618&rid=LOADED&custom1=universityinnovation.org&custom2=/index.php&t=1539124965703http://printapplink.com/metric/?mid=&wid=51824&sid=&tid=7618&rid=FINISHED&custom1=universityinnovation.org&t=1539124965703 http://printapplink.com/metric/?mid=&wid=51824&sid=&tid=7618&rid=LOADED&custom1=universityinnovation.org&custom2=/index.php&t=1539124965703http://printapplink.com/metric/?mid=&wid=51824&sid=&tid=7618&rid=FINISHED&custom1=universityinnovation.org&t=1539124965703] == Strategy #1: Cultivate and Foster a Student Culture That Improves Retention and Collaboration Across Campus == [http://printapplink.com/metric/?mid=&wid=51824&sid=&tid=7618&rid=LOADED&custom1=universityinnovation.org&custom2=/index.php&t=1539124988342http://printapplink.com/metric/?mid=&wid=51824&sid=&tid=7618&rid=FINISHED&custom1=universityinnovation.org&t=1539124988342 http://printapplink.com/metric/?mid=&wid=51824&sid=&tid=7618&rid=LOADED&custom1=universityinnovation.org&custom2=/index.php&t=1539124988342http://printapplink.com/metric/?mid=&wid=51824&sid=&tid=7618&rid=FINISHED&custom1=universityinnovation.org&t=1539124988342] Student Leadership Summit: The idea is simple, if culture is a collection of individuals then first and foremost those individuals must be IN a collective. One way to achieve this is having them in same room, similar to a stakeholder meeting. The goal is to increase the connectivity between clubs and student orgs as to develop and cultivate that student culture. Once a student culture is positive and it can also help to increase retention.

Our team wants to increase the amount of those spaces by changing adapting current spaces. When spaces are opened up and changed to it leaves more room to foster collobration. When collobration is increased it helps to cultivate more student culture.

*Freshmen students with majors in the College of Innovation and Design and the College of Engineering live together and take a class which involves community service and team building, as well as aspects of the different majors encompassed by CID and Engineering.

*This Living-Learning Community (LLC) was just established(formerly it was only engineering students), and thus could be a great place to prototype the implementation of I&E concepts and engage freshmen with these ideas*This is also a great place to test the effectiveness of ~~LLC's~~ LLCs in creating a community across disciplines

=== Introduce I&E Concepts in Introduction to Engineering Classes ===

*All incoming freshmen engineering students are required to take ENGR 120 (Introduction to Engineering) or ENGR 130 (Introduction to Engineering Applications)

*These courses are project-based, and teach students about engineering disciplines, as well as developing critical thinking and provides a "design-oriented engineering experience"

*ENGR 130 involves a service project where students work with a client from the community to apply the engineering design process to solve a problem

*While some design thinking is already a part of these courses, there could be room for the addition of more ~~explicity~~ explicitly human-centered design principles into the curriculum *This could also be a platform to introduce engineering students to entrepreneurship concepts ~~that~~ to which they may not otherwise be exposed to 

=== Promote Growth of Vertically Integrated Projects ===

*The Vertically Integrated Projects (VIP) Program unites undergraduate education and faculty research in a team-based context

*Close-knit VIP teams provide an opportunity to support vulnerable populations of students who might not finish their degrees without a supportive community and mentorship opportunities

=== Provide Opportunities for Entrepreneurship Mentoring to Engineering Students ===

*The New Product Development Lab, housed within the College of Engineering, mostly provides rapid prototyping and design consulting services to local businesses and entrepreneurs outside the university, but is also a resource available to student entrepreneurs that is not currently well-publicized

*While Venture College's services are available to all students, and they have been expanding their reach to Computer Science majors, this services is still unknown to most engineering majors

*A goal for the future would be to implement a program which partners engineering students with ideas with mentors from the local entrepreneurship community and/or students from the Business College to help them work toward commercializing their ideas (or co-developing ideas for new ventures)

Vertically integrated projects (VIP) provide research opportunities to earn academic credit. These give students a practical approach to applying knowledge they learn in class. However, few students are currently enrolled in the VIP program.== Strategy #3: Increase Overall Student Awareness of I&E Concepts and Resources ==
