== Proposal #1: Creating a CAP class for all majors ==
Problem Statement: The University of Dayton likes to pride themselves as a school for innovation and entrepreneurship, however I&E is very secluded within the School of Engineering and the School of Business, making other majors feel excluded.
Proposal: The University should create a CAP (Common Academic Program) class that incorporates design thinking for every major to take. This would expand the knowledge of I&E to not only a select few hundred people, but thousands across campus.
Key Tactics: To complete this project and make a new CAP class for everyone, there are going to have to be a lot of small steps taken in order to complete the over all goal.
#Create a one day activity around design thinking and run it over with team and mentour. Get feedback and make tweaks to the class.
#Meet with professors of every major and ask if you can do a "desgin class takeover day" and takeover there classes to teach design thinking. Have them complete activities that include design thinking.
#Get feedback from both the professors as well as the students.
#Make changes to what happened within the class and develop on a broader scale.
#Hold events for all students to come and learn about design thinking and get feedback
#Develop a full semester course that deals with bringing together all majors to inspire I&E within every students
#Present idea of full course, with feedback from take over days to the CAP board and get feedback on how to better the entire course
While this project will mainly be lead by me, I will need help from my other UIF fellows as well as getting together many people from different majors to see what they would like to have included within the class and how it may better prepare them for the furture. A big component to the success of my project will be Ian Sikora, as his idea is to hold a design thinking challenge day. I can observe and get feedback from this event and allow it to benefit the production of the class.
