= OVERVIEW =
= Strategy #1 - Connecting Engineering Students with the rest of the campus =
We are very pleased with the initiative from the university and the province to create the Innovation Hub (IDEA Building) which is a Multipurpose building on Sexton Campus. As University Fellow candidates, we fully support this initiative and are willing to help to further promote it as well as help with information interviews, planning and further ideation on its programs and events.
== Tactic no.1 ==: Engineering Connect (E-Connect) == D.E.S plans to organize a series of workshops and events that facilitates the free flow of ideas and networking between the engineering campus Sexton Engineering Campus and rest of the faculties at Dalhousie University. This way we can form a bridge and promote the interaction and collaboration between the engineering students and the rest. == Tactic no.2: Maker Club - Garage ==
Create a student-led club on the main campus that will promote our main makerspace on Sexton Campus. This space would serve as place where students can get in initial contact with 3D Printing, Electronics, Raspberry Pi’s and more. This would create a funnel of students on main campus for Innovation Hub on Sexton Campus.
A student-centric organization on campus that aims to build an inclusive innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem on the Dalhousie University campus from within by exposing students in all faculties to resources and funding opportunities, organizing hackathons, startup weekends, conferences and connecting them with the local startup community. D.E.S serves as a vehicle to deliver our strategic student priorities and initiatives.
== Tactic no.1: ==Build a framework which we can pass along for next generation of student entrepreneurs. ==
== Tactic no.2: == Recruit students in their first and second year to ensure sustainable future for D.E.S. == By getting students involved in the Entrepreneurship Society we can ensure a sustainable future for the society. Society will keep growing as years go by and students will have time to become familiar with E&I before their graduation, which ultimately will increase the chances of more E&I student achievements at Dalhousie.
== Tactic no.3 == : Raise awareness with series of student-driven events, meetups and competitions. ==
In addition, we are currently in the process of creating new By-Laws and a more comprehensive Constitution to enable us fully establish ourselves as the leading student-led organization promoting Entrepreneurship and Innovation on Campus and help us seek further funding opportunities.
