Changes

While every professor does research at Kettering, in large part it is unknown what research each professor is working on and where their research goes. At least in the Electrical Computer Engineering department, when we have our term get together for a review of the term and what next term will look like, there is some advertisement in the achievements the department has experienced with research, but it is new to nearly everyone attending.  Transparency of research projects throughout the university can lead to many benefits with students knowing what exists so they may be able to help.

In order to get research make a connection with innovation and entrepreneurship, we first of all have to have awareness. &nbsp;This could <span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">be accomplished from the development of a web page listing all the research that is not confidential as well as each department sending out an email to the students associated. &nbsp;Once awareness is achieved, we can begin looking at the broader spectrum, and decide where each research project may lead to. &nbsp;The NSF awards thousands of dollars to bring research out of the labs and into a start-up.</span>

<span style== Background =="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The proposal is bring the event back. As TED talks gain popularity both inside and outside the classroom, the event will give members of the Flint and Kettering University communities a chance to share their stories and their problems. Many Kettering students pride themselves as problem solvers, and this event will help them focus their energies to solving problems in their immediate neighborhoods.</span>

<span style= "font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Once successful implementation of the T-Space and maybe tying research with I&E, &nbsp;projects should be displayed to give recognition to students as well as spread awareness. &nbsp;In general we would like to have this like the Maker Fair =Faire in Detroit where many other tinkerers come together and showcase their projects. The event could happen during orientation week where there is the largest amount of student traffic.</span>

= Bulldog Over the years Kettering University students perform various projects both in school and industry. Demo Days =days is an event that'd be hosted just for the students to learn from each other's projects and talents. The concept is to bring and share anything that a student has created. It could be a piece of art, a complex excel document, a new product design and anything of the sorts. Students often enjoy talking about their projects and this will give them a way to share their creative energies.
