Overview:Many non-design students from UC Berkeley do not have the opportunity to learn the design process or gain design thinking skills. This process and these skills are very important in real life and give students an advantage in jobs and in their future. Students from most majors and students who don't seek out this knowledge are at a disadvantage. This strategy aims to provide students from multidisciplinary backgrounds design thinking skills through The Invention Corps of Berkeley. Students from multiple different majors and fields that normally wouldn't get the design experience would be taught so and furthermore use it in projects paired with professors and PhD students here at Berkeley.
A lot of students here at Berkeley don't ever learn the design process or gain design thinking skills. This process and these skills are very important in real life and give students an advantage in jobs and in their future. Students from most majors and students who don't seek out this knowedlge are at a disadvantage. This goal would give students out of design these design thinking skills by enrollment in our organization - The Invention Corps. Students from multiple different majors and fields that normally wouldn't get the design experience would be taught so and futhermore use it in projects paired with professors and PhD students here at Berkeley.<u>Project leads:</u> Precious Listana & James Zamora & Alexander Kamgar & Sydney Zachariah

Overview:One of the biggest resources on campus that connects students and professors is the Undergraduate Research Apprentice Program (URAP), but most students do not optimize this resource. Students want to get exposed to application-based opportunities, and one way to do that is to collaborate with professors & graduate students through the Invention Corps of Berkeley.

Overview:Students coming into college often have a hard time choosing their major. As 17-18 year olds, it can be extremely stressful and difficult to choose the path they want to take that will affect their careers and success in such a huge way. Often times, students don’t have a well-rounded view of the majors on campus; for example, students who are an intended biology major may never have been exposed to any sort of engineering class that may impact their decision on their major. Therefore, it is important that students are able to experience the different majors on campus before making a decision.
Students To address this problem, we have designed a hard time anticipating the needs and roles they play in their specific majors. Often students maybe even regret the major or path they chose in college due to just unknown factors strategy that can be avoided with more knoweldge. This goal focuses on delivering students knoweldge about the possible fields they can go designs modular-segmented class to targeted specifically guide freshmen to freshmanmultiple disciplines. This optional class course would allow students to get a little glimpse into most outline the course work of various majors here on campus, providing them information on workloadprerequisites, requirementspossible careers that utilize each major and corresponding salaries, difficultyand what the day-to-day life would be in each of those careers (i.e. hours, opportunitiesamount of work, resourcesfreedom for a personal life, and most importantly jobsetc. This class will hopefully reduce ) In designing such a course, students are able to be exposed to a few of the number of students who switch their most popular majors sophomre on campus and junior year or even prevent students regreting can therefore make a more well-informed decision on their major choicefuture path.

Below are four such opportunities:
== Strategy #1: Introducing design thinking to multidisciplinary students ==
1. Create a club on campus called The Invention Corps of Berkeley that focuses on design thinking and innovative technology '''(BY: 12/2016)'''
== Strategy #2: Forming relationships between students and professors ==
1. Organizing a Professor Pitch Night where students from The Invention Corps of Berkeley are able to pick semester projects based on the professor pitches '''(BY: 02/2017)'''
== Strategy #3: Creating modular-segmented classes that guide freshmen to multiple disciplines ==
This class would have numerous professors come in every week strategy focuses on delivering students the knowledge of various fields and teach the same curriculum each modulemajors. Students then would have The goal of this course is to reduce the option number of going to whichever professor / major they are interested in students who switch their majors during sophomore and stay in that all week doing all the material junior year, and maybe even homework. Then the next week they would choose another professor / major module to attend to gain more knowedlge about all Cal has provide a holistic approach to offerchoosing majors.
