Need Ideas Fast? try this Five Rules ofBrainstorming:
1. Any ideas are valid (even wacky ones).
2. Write everything down.
3. Dont criticize or evaluate.
4. Dont be a salesperson.
5. Ideas form in molecules, so dont be afraid if everyone is silent
Someone keeps time (you need a limit!) and someone is scribe tocapture every idea.

Evaluate the results---
Is there enough interest?
What resources are needed?
Will it achieve goals?
What are the constraints of the Branch? (time, money, people)
Take the attractive alternatives and ITERATE!

Iteration may make earlier, rejected ideas more desirable
For example,
This road trip will need the extra funding, maybe running a coffee
machine isnt such a bad idea after all

Branch Planning Workshop Scenario 1Apathetic University has its share of problems. Ellen, an
enthusiastic member accepted the job of Branch Chair (nobody
wanted it anyway!), but:
There are only 11 members (her friends in 4th year)
Nobody else seems to know what an IEEE Student Branch is,including the recently appointed Branch Counselor, a new
faculty member
Ellen knows that the Branch is close to probation.
SHE NEEDS YOUR HELP!!

committee every September. There is a big EE class in
this school and the Student Branch Counselor is enthusiastic but
busy. The sophomores and juniors even think IEEE is for theseniors only.

Students develop the idea and submit a
proposal for funding
If approved, students receive funding toproceed with their planned venture and report
results to IEEE

Examples- Make a video tape depicting ethical dilemmas
- Develop an in-house training program that
instructs students on how to run a meeting
- Establish a resume evaluation service
- Create a computer package that gives basic
ideas on setting up your own company
Can span days, weeks or months, but should not
generally exceed one school semester

One or two pages itemizing income sources and expenditures
A base amount of funds is provided (up to US$200.00)
and additional funds on a matching basis
One additional dollar of S-PAVe funds (over the base
amount) may be requested for every dollar committed to
the venture from other sources (e.g., IEEE Section,
Student Branch, or local companies)
All requested S-PAVe funds may not be awarded
The maximum S-PAVe award is US$500.00

Venture Budget ExampleAssume that US$175.00 has been secured from the IEEE
Section
US$375.00 can be requested from S-PAVe funds
- US$200.00 in base funding
- US$175.00 as a dollar for dollar match to Section funds
Total income would be US$550.00
- US$175.00 Section funds
- US$375.00 S-PAVe funds
S-PAVe FUNDS WILL BE PROVIDED TO THE STUDENT
BRANCH ONCE THE VENTURE HAS BEEN APPROVED FOR

Remote College
Your Student Branch has 70 members in a small engineering school,in the suburbs of a medium size city. Your Branch figures that an S-PAC
may be hard to do for your small Branch, so they decide an S-PAVe might
be easier. The members of your Branch are pretty imaginative, and the
school is very supportive of the Branch. It is mid October.
