Showing the faculty that the students have achieved noticeable progress can prove that the student body is serious.</span></span>

Large amounts of money must be spent for classes where students create new things as the raw materials or equipment are often very expensive. The university does not have to be the only group to fund the project however. Often, cities, states, or the federal government offers grants or assistance.</span></span>

Patents are not cheap to file and it is a large expenditure for a school to justify without knowing for sure if the patent will move forward and generate revenue for the school and student to pay back the investment. It is not uncommon to have a patent that seems like a great idea not generate any income. There are other ways to pay back the patent costs rather than the direct, front door method. Having successful revenue creating patents pay for the filing of future patents is a good way to keep the process moving. In addition, showing outside investors and &nbsp;prospective or current students the large number of patents being filed will help bring not only possible investor donations into the school but could foster current students to innovate and bring students that might go to other institutions to this university.</span></span>
