Changes

<span style="font-size: small;">One of the most important ways to foster a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship within a school is to incorporate these mindsets into classroom experiences. While student run clubs and extra-curriculars are all great ways to drive passion for innovation, but the only way to guarantee that all students gain this valuable mindset is to enforce it in the classroom. The addition of the planned makerspace provides professors an added resource to promote an innovative mindset in the courses they teach. This includes assigning homework or group projects that require students to not only use the makerspace, but collaborate with their group members. Collaboration within this makerspace is key, because the goal is for the entire university to benefit from this advanced and creative space. &nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: small;">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. &nbsp;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. &nbsp;In summary, we want the makerspace to play a significant role in the university's curriculum by encouraging collaboration with students from different majors and mindsets.&nbsp;</span>

While it is tempting to create new courses that teach I&E pricincples, there is a lot of potential for adding I&E content to existing courses.&nbsp;<span style="font-size: small;">The addition of the planned makerspace to the University of Dayton I&E ecosystem provides educators with an oppritunity to incorporate an innovative mindset in the courses they teach. This can be accomplished through creating homework or group projects that require students to not only use the makerspace, but collaborate with their group members to reach innovative solutions to course assignments.</span>
