__Mission Statement __
The Inventor's Workshop will train a new generation of trans-disciplinary creators. It will offer the resources necessary for a self-motivated individual to create anything, transforming himself in the process. These resources will include, but are not limited to, the tools and equipment necessary for cutting edge research, a malleable, trans-disciplinary educational framework that can be custom-fitted to an individual's interests, funding for projects with commercial or academic promise, mentoring, and connections within ASU, other universities, and the business community. The Inventor's Workshop is designed to create creators, and welcomes motivated individuals from all disciplines.

__Outcomes __
The Inventors Workshop intends to answer the needs of a rapidly changing world. As technology develops at an exponential rate, institutions of higher education have in large part failed to adapt. The most successful programs of technology centered higher education are innovative, trans-disciplinary, and flexible, allowing students to bridge the gap between colleges, and between degrees. In these programs undergraduates capable of working on top-tier equipment are not only allowed to use these pieces of equipment, but expected to. The Inventors Workshop will be an environment that attracts the most motivated creators in the world by the freedom it offers them.

Undergraduates graduating from the Inventor's Workshop may do so in three different ways. An undergraduate majoring in the Inventor's Workshop will be referred to as an inventioneer. An inventioneering major will select a core set of skills, i.e. electronics, biology, mechanical engineering, business, art, etc., and will take a large amount of courses from the traditional college to gain competency in his chosen discipline. In addition, the inventioneer will complete a core requirement of Inventor's Workshop classes. These classes will teach the student about the philosophy of the Inventor's Workshop, develop an understanding of the changing world in which we live, and teach the student about the process of creation. In conjunction with the Inventor's Workshop core, the student will complete 8 design projects, using the resources of the Inventor's Workshop to create new products. On these projects, the inventioneer will work with other inventioneers from different disciplines, developing his trans-disciplinary knowledge. Each project will be supervised by a professor or graduate student, designated by the Inventor's Workshop. Supervision could mean day to day contact with the team of inventioneers, (a graduate student having undergraduates help him complete a thesis), or a monthly check-up.

The Inventor's Workshop will also offer a minor in inventioneering. An inventioneering minor will consist of the inventioneering core, and 4 design projects. A student minoring in inventioneering will be expected to complete a traditional major in one of the other colleges.

Finally, the Inventor's Workshop will offer an undergraduate certificate, which will be composed of the inventioneering core classes, and 2 design projects. The certificate will be geared towards students majoring in an accredited field, with strict course requirements leaving little flexibility in the undergraduate's education.

No matter what path an undergraduate takes in the Inventor's Workshop, all graduates of the Inventor's Workshop will be able to:

▪ Critique others work effectively ▪ Mentor others ▪ Communicate-- express and reason <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">▪ Be a member of a team <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">▪ Appreciate possibility <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">▪ Take risks <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">▪ Lead <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">▪ Create

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">It takes a different mindset, and a different skill-set to create a new product. The Inventor's Workshop will offer those with the mindset necessary, the skill-set they need to be successful creators in an increasingly competitive technological landscape.

__<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Structure __
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">On the surface, the structure of the Inventioneering undergraduate program will appear to be very similar to other science-related degree programs in terms of class hierarchy and methods of specialization. However, this program will succeed where many other science programs fail. By providing consistent and well-developed design projects, students will gain a familiarity with a multitude of different fields and subjects. Beyond this familiarity, they will gain confidence with the design process and be able to apply its basic tenants to multidisciplinary problems. Inventioneer’s multi-displinary skills will be cultivated through the variety of subjects and classes from which they build their major.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">By definition, Inventioneers will not seek to be experts in one particular field, but will strive to stitch together a blanket of knowledge from a variety of sources. They will be “System Integrators” and “Product Architects”. Though many other programs, such as Engineering and Computer Science, produce a student body with a unique specialized knowledge, this is not always best for industry. Boeing has been one particular company to critique the caliber of engineers being produced today. It is no longer sufficient to be knowledgeable in science and math, people skills and interdisciplinary knowledge are now just as important for individual success.

Components
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The Inventioneering program will be divided into three main components:
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The core of the program will be the Inventors Workshop. This will consist of the IW 101, 102, and Homebase 194/394 classes that will be mandatory for all Inventioneer majors, minors and concentrations. As students become more experienced they will transition into roles as ambassadors to upper level spaces and mentors to underclassmen. The IW is the central location (level 1 space) of the inventioneering program and is where most of the programs resources are. These include the library of modules as well as the hub to get in contact with all affiliated labs and other resources.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Taking a variety of university courses that are currently offered is the second, more traditional component of the program. This is where students are given the chance to explore their interests around the ASU campus, as well as receive the basic general education expected of all college graduates. There will be core/required courses to take that cover a breadth of the standard subjects as well as a preapproved list of additional courses a student may choose from. If a student wants to take a class not commonly affiliated with the IW, an advisor may approve the course towards the major if seen fit. As a student moves into the junior and senior year, the general courses taken must become more specific, revolving around a “core” concentration or concentrations chosen by the student. This core focus will involve the upper level spaces in which the student has chosen to work in, as well as modules he has completed. Standard cores may eventually be established, but more typically will be defined by the student with the aid of an advisor.


 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">It should be proposed that certain lab courses on campus should be made available with a preference towards inventioneering majors. A “module” will be built around each lab providing students with the necessary background knowledge to perform the lab and understand its purpose. This would allow the students to get a more hands-on experience while still developing a comprehensive, although more general, knowledge of the subject matter.


 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Modules will be the third component of the program. This is where students will not only learn, but gain the hands-on experience necessary in the workplace today. Modules can be done individually or by student teams. Each student working on a module will be in contact with one or multiple mentors, both student and professors, who have related background experience in the relevant subject matter. Upon the completion of each module, student learning and achievement will be evaluated and a credit value will be assigned to the work.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Professor/Mentor/Student Interaction

 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Inventioneers are divided into three categories: underclassmen, upperclassmen and graduate students. As a student transitions out of the exploratory phase, he will become an “ambassador” specialized in one or more labs and areas of expertise. He will mentor underclassmen and have the ability to grade the results of their completed modules. This allows students to reinforce their knowledge by teaching others, while fostering increased student-to-student interaction. Likewise, graduate students will work with all undergraduates as ambassadors, mentors, and collaborators. They will have the ability to train students in the use of higher level spaces and will function as a bridge between professors and students when necessary.


 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Students will undergo multiple advising sessions throughout their undergraduate years to ensure that their education has a focus. As students become ambassadors to particular labs around campus, they will form closer relationships with faculty members in similar subject areas to their interests. This will not only provide an additional source of personalized advising, but will open possible opportunities for higher levels of education through the graduate school program.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Milestones

 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> After two years of the program, students are expected to begin a concentration in one or more aspects of inventioneering while acting as an ambassador to any labs and professors within this concentration. By this time, each student has had time to explore his or her interests and pursue certain modules and university courses. Inventioneers will have established contacts and relationships at various labs and other higher level facilities around campus via mentors and professors. It is at this point the student receives specialized training so he is able to do more complicated research. At the same time, this creates opportunities to mentor and help younger students who are doing modules involving similar subject matter. As an ambassador the student not only facilitates access to any related facilities, but also becomes a link between the professor and other inventioneers. Students may become ambassadors to more labs as the interest comes up, but each must fulfill the requirement for at least two.


 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> The year before graduation student will work more closely with professors and graduate students in IW 400 level courses where they will consolidate the research they have been doing into something presentable and easily recognized by employers. Depending on what kind of work the student has been involved with this may take the form of a thesis, final product, portfolio or a combination of the three.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Inventioneering Major
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">After a student has successfully completed the exploratory phase of the program, a minimum of 2 “core” areas must be chosen to begin the Inventoneering major. Students who wish to only have one specialization will participate in the Inventor’s Workshop by getting a minor, and majoring in their desired specialization. After taking various lower division courses and modules, each student will have had a chance to be exposed to a wide array of ideas and concepts he or she has deemed interesting. At this point the student should have a good idea of where his interests lie. If this is not the case, the exploratory phase may be extended (for a reasonable amount of time) until the student can pick a focus area. At least one core must be chosen by the end of sophomore year, the second by your 5th semester in the program.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Cores will be comprised of coursework, with modules built around them. For example, a core in physics would be comprised of the math prerequisites and statics/dynamics physics, electricity, and magnetism. In addition, modules would be built around the physics labs, to give the inventioneer more hands-on experience.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">An inventioneering major will become an ambassador for the labs associated with his chosen cores. These labs will consist of level 2 and 3 spaces. The student will continue to take existing university courses related to his cores which will be chosen with the aid of an advisor. The student will continue to complete modules, but now with a higher set of expectations for novel contributions. He will also act as a underclassman mentor for modules he has experience with. The Inventioneering major will conclude with a final project/thesis that will include a portfolio of all work that has been completed throughout the program.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Major Requirements
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Inventors Workshop- 24-30 credits
 * 1) <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Inventors Workshop 101-- How to create almost anything, how others have, created almost anything, how you can create almost anything. The primary purpose is to give the incoming student a taste of the degree and and allow them to switch majors if it is not compatible with what they want to study without wasting too much of their time. This course will set the foundation for an Inventioneer to grasp all concepts of the program and to create a new mindset for the program.
 * 2) <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Inventor’s Workshop 102-- This class will be a three credit hour course in the second semester of the Inventor’s Workshop. It will meet twice a week, for an hour and a half. One class each week will be devoted to a curriculum that all inventioneers need to know, for example how to patent an idea, business plan development, public speaking, and 2-3 books as required reading on, “Getting outside the box.”
 * 3) <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Inventor’s Homebase194/494--This class will be a one credit hour class. It will meet once a week, and will not have required course-work outside of attending class. It’s purpose will be to bring all the pieces of the Inventor’s Workshop together once a week to see what everyone is doing, receive mentorship, and find needed talent among other inventioneers. Once you have declared your concentration, you will begin to receive 494 credit, however you will still be meeting in the same class as 194. It is recommended that a student continues to be in the same professor’s homebase for multiple years. Your homebase professor will also approve and monitor each student’s module progress. We also recommend that each homebase has a graduate student TA to provide mentorship and work with undergraduate on projects.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">In the Inventioneering minor students will be introduced to the core concepts of engineering through the IW courses as well as have the ability to explore a wide range of modules, culminating with 4 projects. The general university courses will not be required for the minor, as many will have already been taken/required for the students major.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Certificates
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Certificates will be offered to university students majoring in a subject outside of Inventioneering. Requirements for a certificate will be the two core IW courses, as well as a position of specialized Ambassadorship/mentorship related to their major. The certificate program will bring in students from across the ASU campus who will contribute to the inventioneering program as mentors and consultants for various module teams. It will foster a greater sense of campus wide collaboration, as students who would have otherwise not had sufficient time for an inventioneering minor or major will be able to actively participate.
