#13: Provide a timeline for project
completion with periodic milestones
and celebration dates identified.
(200 words maximum). The project
timelines should commence when the
hardware is delivered and continue
for 24 months.
When our new Science and Engineering
building opens on August 6th,
2009,it will feature an innovation
lab filled with the HP technology.
Thistechnology
and innovation lab will allow the
Bachelor of
Innovationdegrees to continue
to enhance its non-traditional
learning
practices.These learning
practices include extensive group
work, grant writing,
aswell
as real-world experience with local
businesses' projects.
Inaddition
to the innovation lab, there will be
computer kiosks
throughoutthe
building with software and games
created by Bachelor of
Innovationstudents created
games with the newly supplied HP
technology.
Thesegames will be aimed at
inciting interest in STEM careers
forpre-college
students in grades 8-12. By
increasing interest in
STEMcareers,
we hope to see an increase in
enrollment in the Bachelor
ofInnovation
as well as at UCCS as a whole.
Classes taking advantage
ofthis
new technology would begin on August
20th, 2009, with the
firstclasses
using the technology ending December
18th, 2009, and
resumingagain
the following semester. By
Fall 2010, our first
Bachelorof
Innovation students will have
graduated from this new
degreefield,and their success
in the workplace will reflect the
success ofthe
degree and its technology. |

The University of Colorado at Colorado
Springsproposes to expand innovative degree programs
through the Bachelor ofInnovation
family of degrees. The university will
demonstrateLeadership Capacity by continuing to
emphasize innovation
andentrepreneurship in core classes and leveraging
technology tofacilitate the
multi-disciplinary team experience at the heart of
theprogram. The university is
committed to exploring and expanding
DigitalLearning Environments: online learning is
incorporated with thetraditional
classroom curriculum; technology is commonly used in
theclassroom and is integral to
student-teacher communication; students
inthe Game Design and
Development degree program utilize simulation
andgaming for educational
learning. The Undergraduate Design and
ResearchExperience comes from multi-disciplinary
innovation teams working onreal
projects for real companies in the local community. UCCS
isalready implementing the
Pre-College
Outreach with K-12 university walkthroughs and seminars and
has beenrecognized for its
nationally leading community engagement. With
thisgrant the university can
use technology such as the Tablet PC
todevelop educational games for prospective students
to interact with andlearn about
STEM. University professors have already talked to
schoolsabout why the innovation
program at UCCS is essential to
society?sever-changing world. Tablet PC?s will assist
the faculty in being moreflexible
with combining traditional education and the advances
intechnology. With the
assistance of this grant, the
Bachelor?s ofInnovation
degree programs can grow and make efforts to change
thecurriculum and teaching
styles to utilize technology at the
Universityof Colorado at Colorado Springs.

(It was wrong, but we still typed it.)
Leadership: As the Bachelor of Innovation deals directly to
students based more towards technological aspects, it is key
that the Professors be capable of demonstrating with
technology the students may encounter in their careers, as
such, the access of higher technology to orientate and lead
students is necessary for our class leaders.
Digital Learning
Environments: Students of the technology based portions of
the Bachelor of Innovation require the ability to easily
orientate themselves about the room and present ideas in
creative ways as the innovating process deals with untested
ideals and unbound concepts that require the students to
think in terms of images, as well as be able to combine the
multiple technology elements (Programming, digital arts,
etc) to easily combine their concepts.
9. The Bachelor of
Innovation is degree program dealing most directly with
incorporating not only innovation techniques, but the most
available technology in order to press forward our progress.
As such, it would be a large obstacle to introduce us to
technology present in the world of our careers without the
technology available to us to orientate ourselves onto. On
top of that, the concept of the BI program utilizes the most
knowledge personnel in various technological career fields,
and in order to most properly learn from them, the
technology they used in their careers would be the most
appropriate and easiest to utilize method of orientating us
to follow in their career paths. Furthermore, without this
technology available to the BI program, the advance programs
and concepts the students deal with everyday in the process
of learning would be useless without the creative tools,
hardware, and software to allow us to explore the creative
freedoms we are taught to embrace and build additions on top
of.

Some comments on sentence structure:
There are a number of instances of "missing" words
(e.g. "the bachelor of innovation is degree..."
should be "the bachelor of innovation is a
degree..."), and sentence clarity seems hard to
follow, at least for me. As an example, I had to go
back and re-read the sentence "On top of that, the
concept of the BI program utilizes the mostknowledge
personnel in various technological career fields,
and inorder to most properly learn from them, the
technology they used intheir careers would be the
most appropriate and easiest to utilizemethod of
orientating us to follow in their career paths." a
couple of times before I grasped what you were
saying. |
