Promoting student innovation and entrepreneurship:</span> <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">At Morgan State, our leadership circle has dug deep and found that students have aspirations and dreams of starting their own businesses. The Morgan State Landscape Canvas provides sufficient amount of programs and seminars to get students on campus aware of entrepreneurship and innovative thinking. The issue on campus is students don’t feel empowered enough to voice their opinions. There’s a lack of interdisciplinary spaces that let students from different backgrounds come together and collaborate ideas and projects. The labs and facilities in our school although mostly open to all, only a few students know about the resources. Morgan State is an HBCU, a school with strong culture and traditions. The students here have different ways of learning and progressing within the academic curriculum. We need to develop an effective approach to get students involved and gear them towards an innovative mindset. There have been recent updates to the courses offered that focus on starting and growing a business, even offering students the incentive of potentially receiving money to go towards their venture. During it's initial offering there was a high response, indicating that students are very interested in the opportunity to apply the knowledge they are receiving.</span> <br /><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">2. Encouraging faculty innovation and entrepreneurship:</span> <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The faculty at Morgan are interested and willing to help promote innovation and entrepreneurship into the Morgan ecosystem. The President, Dr. David Wilson, has voiced his support on the I&E movement; “I am truly excited with the innovation culture that is engulfing the campus and want to do everything I can to support and encourage it”. Encouraged faculty will subsequently strengthen the innovation and entrepreneurship mindset in the teachers’ students. The vision will be shared and students will start to understand what it's all about. Dr. Archibald, from the Social Work Department, has stated that this movement is very important to him, and has some ideas on how to speed up this movement. Keeping in mind that Morgan State is an overall commuter school, we should make resources accessible for all students with hours that are convenient for all. Most of the commuter students have heavy schedules and are balancing full-time work schedules while having part-time or full-time course loads. The faculty will be a big part of this movement, because they can help articulate and help voice important student issues.</span></span>

Actively supporting the university technology transfer function:''' The Office of Technology Transfer here at Morgan State University is a key tool that supports all entrepreneurs and innovators that have copyright needs or patents. They support all faculty and students that partake in research within the labs and facilities. They focus on intellectual property issues that may be concerning an individual. The purpose of The Office of Technology Transfer is to serve as a fully integrated center, structured to manage Morgan State’s intellectual property, fulfill the university's federal obligations, interact with industry to commercialize university intellectual property, foster economic development, and ultimately increase Morgan State’s resources to support its strategic goals. This office needs to operate at its highest level at all times. The students and researchers need to know all the rules and regulations to take their creations and discoveries to the industry smoothly and properly, and with the help of the Office of Technology Transfer, Morgan State can accomplish that. The office also collaborates with other I&E centered programs across the state to provide the Morgan students with entrepreneurship and innovation trainings that will enable them successfully leverage on their innovations.</span> <br /><br /><span style="font-size: 13.3333px11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(510, 510, 510); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">14.

This is the biggest partnership Morgan (since 2004) has that focuses on bettering the community by research and ethnic groups around findings based on the community needs. It is located near the worldPatuxent River in Saint Leonard, Maryland. The diversity makes it a better ecosystem laboratory capabilities include Benthic, Pelagic & Nearshore Monitoring, Water Quality Monitoring, Power Plant & Industrial Compliance, Hyperspectral Remote Sensing, GIS in Coastal Waters, Quantitative Analysis & Modeling, Natural Resource Economics, and Population and Community Ecology. We need to ensure the lab is being utilized at its fullest potential and if there is needs for improvement, we need to gather funds from sponsors to practice help the community grow. In addition, the Entrepreneurial Development and educate Assistance Center offers a wide range of resources for students on innovation and the community. They offers specific training and resources for women and veteran entrepreneurs such as knowledge development in securing government contracts. They also offer free entrepreneurshiptraining for previously incarcerated citizens, offering them a foot in the door to self-employment.</span></span>

For instance, Drmorgan. Foster is one best faculty that help to promote I&E on Morgans campus likewise the President, Dr. David Wilson, has expressed his upkeep on the I&E development. Empowered and motivated faculty will in this manner fortify the advancement and business enterprise attitude in the instructors' to students.

Dr. Amory, the chair of civil engineering Department, has expressed that this development is essential to him because he admires the idea of thinking outside the box and being creative, and he has a few thoughts on the best way to accelerate this development for example, project based learning is a good scenario of innovation. Remembering that Morgan State is a general suburbanite school, we ought to make assets available for all students (both graduate and undergraduate students) with hours that are helpful for all. The greater part of the students have overwhelming timetables and are adjusting all day work plans while having low maintenance or full-time course stacks. The staff will be a major portion of this development, since they can understand and voice critical students’ difficulties.html</span>

HEMI addresses the fundamental issues associated with materials under extreme conditions, such as those developed during impact events.
