~~Information coming soon~~'''Our overview video link''' 2017: [https://youtu.be/IYir6XkY3sQ] 2016: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkNxMLteg8g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkNxMLteg8g] '''Strategy #1 – Give Students greater ability to work on their projects, make prototypes, and get experience in I&E''' ''o   Enable students to do the projects they want to do''     §  Give Students resources, and potentially funding to create real prototypes     §  Give projects that are somewhat more underway funding (in conjunction with/as an alternative to         LaunchPad) ''o  Create an Adafruit style business plan''     §  Website that allows people to upload their project designs open source and make profit with               customers supporting creators     §  UM sponsored Adafruit projects ''o   Partner with the medical campus design organization, Innovaid''     §  Medical students with ideas that address drawbacks in medicine give these ideas to us, and we           form design teams to work on them     §  This will be a full collaboration with us, providing UM undergrads with ideas that our club will                sponsor to make a reality   '''Strategy #2 - Bring together different departments and schools to share resources in a centralized / several decentralized Maker Space(s)''' - Improve management of existing machinery and facilities, and have them more accesible for all students - Create a shared space for students of all disciplines, so that the department boundaries aren’t as prevalent - Full-fledged student-run Maker Space o   Student Autonomy o   UPrint style management of 3-D printers, which allow students to print a CAD file from anywhere with internet, and pick it up at their convenience o   Chemistry/biology equipment available to any students who have interesting ideas for research in a science field with high barrier to entry o   Enables innovation and aids in the realization of all aspects of this organization o   There is potential pushback from Johnson & Johnson Maker Space     §  Students don’t have autonomy     §  Engineers that are unaffiliated with UM (UM is giving them free office/lab space)     §  May become like existing UM machine shop, science labs in that it isn’t accessible to students o   Because of the point above, we may make a new Maker Space seperate from the college of Engineering so that we can avoid these pitfalls '''Strategy #3 – Develop a system for organizing multidisciplinary programs and projects.''' o   Create a central system for listing and sharing prototyping resources among students                                    [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/UCreate_Resource_Page - click here for an example page-]     §  Embed a linked page with all available resources and information.     §  For each resource, verify available timeslots and set up a table to prevent conflicts.     §  On deployment, should integrate into University of Miami Canelink System to integrate student accounts. o   Reach out to departments for software access and fabrication tools.     §  Our primary targets should be the College of Arts and Sciences, and the College of Engineering     §  Encouraging campus-wide integration would require a meeting and partnership starting with orientation.     §  Stakeholder meeting would be used to include and offer benefits to faculty. o  Fundraise or allocate funds towards supplementing resource deficits and generating growth.     §  Ideally, third-party donations should not create a conflicts of interest.     §  Investment from outside the University will primarily advance stakeholder goals (good business climate). '''Strategy #4 – Partner with Miami area companies for project & business sponsorship''' o   Angel investors give seed funds to their favorite projects, perhaps even have competitions for the purposes of deciding who gets funding o   Shark-Tank style pitch session to get seed funding from businesses or investment groups o   Work with our school's LaunchPad to help students create reasonable/feasable business ideas that will have the merit to be sponsored. o   Create a system of advisors to help students manage the difficulties of starting a company.  o   Promoting research which has the potential to be turned into a product.  '''Strategy #5 – Offer a cohorted longitudinal program that fosters I&E.''' o   Courses in program fulfill general education requirements o   Option to earn an I&E minor o   Emphasis on applying knowledge from other disciplines to solve problems o   I&E Lab utilizing makerspace o   Capstone project with community partnership o   [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/University_of_Miami_I%26E_Curriculum_Prototype Proposed course list] with new courses tailered to program '''Related Links''' [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/University_of_Miami University of Miami] [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1cSzGS_L2rE0FBkW80ECrp2R-DIn8azfW_StEQUjX-6k/edit#gid=6 UM Landscape Canvas] [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Fred_Etingen Fred Etingen] [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Naveen_Kumaran Naveen Kumaran] [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Yujia_Zhou Yujia Zhou] [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Allen_liu Allen Liu] [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Nicholas_Meury Nicholas Meury]
