Changes

<span style="color:#000000;">I want to see engineering immersed in liberal arts. &nbsp;Engineering students are allowed to take liberal arts courses from a bountiful selection, but liberal arts and engineering are not intertwined as well as they should be here at Union; there is a difference; there is a problem with this. &nbsp;Although I believe the fundamental engineering courses are imperative to the proper education of engineers, I realize that the fundamental coursework has become the curriculum for engineers, which does not allow students to step outside of the bounds set forth by the common curriculum. &nbsp;The liberal arts aspect of Union must exist with the engineering aspect, and currently it doesn't. &nbsp;My idea consists the design and implementation of a project idea throughout the length of a term. &nbsp;Engineering majors, economics majors, art, music and political science majors would be able to work together to bring the idea to fruition. &nbsp;Each member would be able to contribute to the process of forming the idea into a well-constructed presentation. &nbsp;The presenation is not a normal presentation though. I plan to have the presentations presented at General Electric Global Research Center, which is less than ten miles away from Union College. &nbsp;There are eight Ge Global Research Centers in the world, and the orginal one is less than five miles away from Union College. &nbsp;Currently, there are basically no existing relations bewteen the research center and Union; I desperately want to change this. &nbsp;I would like for the presentations to be held at the research center. &nbsp;The research center has state-of-the-art presentation space, and many brilliant people to fill the space. &nbsp;The Union College students would be able to present in front of engineering and business professionals, and would be able to acquire magnificient feedback from such professionals.</span>

<span style="color:#000000;">In a sense, my idea is similar to what entrepreneurs experience on their journies:</span>

*<span style="color:#000000;">make a difference</span>

<span style="color:#000000;">There is a vibrant liberal arts atmoshphere at Union College that has been well established for a long time. &nbsp;However, the engineering element of Union needs to amalgamate fully with the liberal arts element to make for a truly invigorating and versatile education. &nbsp;I hope to make a lasting impact on my campus with the support of my faculty and fellow students, and the guidance of the University Innovation Fellows Cohort.&nbsp;</span>

'''<span style="color:#000000;">UPDATE: Reached out to departments. Still trying to implement this however.</span>'''

<span style="color:#000000;">Currently, the closest thing we have to a makerspace is a room the Union Collaborative Design Studio. This room is the home of the various Makerbot 3D Printers that we have as well as the high-resolution Stratasys Objet 3D Printer. These printers are presently only able to be used for specific student projects and by faculty. As of this year, Union hired a Makerspace Coordinator who is assisting in the maker movement on campus. My goal is to have a newly designated room with full whiteboard walls and up-to-date learning technologies along with trained access to equipment that the school already has.</span>
