== '''Strategy One:</span~~>Create an organization called Student Innovation Collective (SINC) that brings together multidisciplinary departments to work on project oriented activities~~''' ==

MISSION AND VISION

The goal of this organization is to bring together different departments in campus to work on industry level projects in the collegiate level. Students from different disciplines collaborating on projects promotes innovation and creativity. This will allow students to become well-rounded individuals. The organization’s goal is to mold students into T-Shaped Individuals. These are individuals who are well-versed in their own disciplines but also have the ability to collaborate and communicate with other disciplines. Having these skills will give the students the advantage in the workplace and ultimately close the school-industry divide.

PLAN

Currently the organization will focus on engineering design projects. The mechanical engineering department has design projects where they build or update projects like cars, drones or rockets. They usually consist of engineering students with different skillsets that can contribute to the project. The whole design project is treated like a business where students need to market their product, raise funds and understand their finances. This is where a multi-disciplinary team comes in. The organization will connect students to these engineering design projects to help them with their “business”. While we are planning to focus solely on business and engineering students for now, the organization will expand to include computer science, film, arts, graphics design and other kinds of majors to have an inclusive and a truly multidisciplinary team.

---- SINC 2017-2018: New Model A year ago, past CSUF University Innovative Fellows, Vanessa Ganaden, Lorenzo Santos, and Steven Debolt, founded Student Innovation Collective (SINC) and fostered an inclusive, diverse environment for students from different disciplines to come together. Continuing their legacy, UIF candidates Yumi Liang, Chalisa Phiboolsook, and Patricia Ho are working together, along with their board members, to make SINC an active interdisciplinary and innovative community of students. Our Mission and Vision SINC’s mission is to equip students passionate about creating positive impacts in the world around us with essential, versatile skills to tackle social challenges through design innovation. In the next three years, SINC’s vision is to become a student social innovator ecosystem, breeding top social change makers who will have the ability to solve complicated social challenges. Plan: Emphasis on Social Change and Design Thinking Competition Focusing on tackling social challenges, SINC plans on addressing social issues such as sustainability and reforming education. The organization has partnered with Push Humanity Forward, a group dedicated to making humanitarian contributions, and will work on spreading awareness and coming up with different solutions to solve this semester’s project topic: homelessness in Anaheim, CA. A design competition will be held at the end of year and SINC will place motivated students into multidisciplinary groups that will tackle different issues of homelessness throughout the semester. The purpose of a design competition allows students to work with students from different backgrounds while coming up with a solution to a pressing issue. Teams will present their projects to a panel of judges from professional vocations and the winning team will receive $10,000 in addition to having their project implemented. '''1.1 Design Thinking Workshops''' <div>This semester, SINC has implemented design thinking workshops that will educate and inspire students interested a progressive, problem solving process. Every workshop provides opportunities for students to participate; the organization uses problem solving scenarios and active discussions to promote an active, engaging learning environment. In addition to teaching the design thinking process, the organization provides field trip opportunities to locations that give students hands on experiences to practice the design methodology. These field trips also help members gain more knowledge to help them create ideas and solutions to SINC’s project topic. 1.2 Multidisciplinary Teams In SINC, multidisciplinary teams are essential for students to learn from other students in different disciplines and learn valuable teamwork skills. Teams include students from business, health science, art, engineering and a variety of other backgrounds. Following a business-like model, 0students will work to create a project/product that will benefit others. 1.3 Design Critiques SINC’s design critiques will allow members to get feedback on their design projects from professional mentors. Two design critiques will be implemented throughout the semester, ~~255)~~giving students time to prepare and discuss their project ideas. ---- </div> == '''Strategy Two: Create a pop up incubator/makerspace in campus~~~~''' ==
