<div>'''Tables '''(several) - small, separable, combinable, mobile, simple</div><div>'''Chairs '''(hella several) - simple, comfortable, mobile</div><div>'''Stationery Whiteboards''' (3) - one on each wall without a window, rather wide, has a holster for markers and a cloth, spans the height of the wall, good quality - easy to clean</div><div>'''Mobile Whiteboards''' (10) - mobile, lightweight, can be stood up, has a small holder for a marker and cloth, good quality - easy to clean</div><div>'''Supplies '''- a wall of supplies, organized in a way that is a balance between obvious and easy to maintain, office supplies such as: pens, markers, post-it’s, loose paper, stapler, hole punch, etc., creativity supplies like different material scraps, tape, glue, whatever makes its way into the space to enable quick (within a minute) prototyping and explaining</div><div>'''Projector & Screen''' in front of open area or tables - with sufficient cables/adapters, so short presentations can be given</div><div> </div>

What does it offer?

<div>Space for entrepreneurs and innovators (intentionally vague) to gather, run through their ideas with themselves or others, and iterate through ideas they’re working on. Thespaceismeant to eliminate anything that might be barrier to a person or group’s process. Thespaceeasesand aids the process of individual and team work. Thespacewillalso serve as a place for events, workshops, and learning sessions to be held. It can be rented out by a company, even sponsored if they so please. It will adapt to needs while still maintaining ~~and~~an identity that is innovation, creativity, productivity, and entrepreneurship. It will provide the tools to enable students and faculty alike to succeed in their aspirations as well as just tinker and complete work on a day to day basis.  </div><div> </div><div> </div>

Strategy Two: Improve Overbearing IP/Patent Policy

The IP policy for MSOE outlines a process in which MSOE is involved every step of the way and should know of any ideas emerging from use of campus resources immediately. The policy is written in vague terms when it comes to what qualifies an idea as belonging tothembut is very explicit when it comes to qualifying the only circumstances under which an idea or project is solely that the of the student who created it. Many students are not aware of this, and many faculty have not thoroughly read through the policy if at all. The problem truly stems from the university’s reaction to students creating ideas and jumping on their intuition. Rewriting the policy is a good start to driving the mindset and reaction of staff and faculty members here towards truly embracing student’s creativity and innovative leaps. The policy should also define a lesser imposition on faculty members to report any and all of their breakthroughs and ideas as those of the university. It should fall under the same or similar rules to students. MSOE claims to have the desire to drive forward ideas that benefit the greater good of anyone andeveryone,but have yet to act on such claims significantly. Suggestions of revisions are below (in unofficial terminology):

Suggestions of revisions are below (in unofficial terminology):<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">~~<li~~>WHOLE IP POLICY: If the idea was of the student and the student has demonstrated control of the project and has been the driving force for the idea/business/project, it is theirs. If the student used MSOE resources including and limited to class time, seed funding, regular use of space, and a faculty champion, they are to attribute 5% of earnings back to MSOE.</li><li>WHOLE IP POLICY: If the student can demonstrate and convince the current president that they were able to do this without MSOE resources or intervention, the idea is wholly the students. If not, MSOE is entitled to 10% equity or royalties.</~~li></ul~~span></li>

</ul>

<span style="~~font-size: 9pt;~~ font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Feedback: having things simpler might not work - easier to flex things one particular way or another if it’s too simple. In this case, things will need to be more explicit. Current policy is also not explicit with some things, leaving room for MSOE to be overbearing
