This project/how-to was not what I expected it to be. The name "Shark-Tank" insinuates an idea competition. I think the concept of hosting an idea competition is pretty interesting, and could help introduce students to the innovation landscape at my university. This concept was also interesting, and I think it is great to supply STEM majors with some of the business mindset that they will need in the workforce. I do agree with the last comment that it by only having it for BME, it limited the potential group that could attend. It might have been more impactful opening it up to the entire engineering school.
Hello folks<br>
I'm truly impressed of the idea to launch a '''Shark Tank''' event in engineering colleges. We all are into graduating programs to earn a living (Reminding Graduation is not exactly same as Learning). For a moment, let's keep 8-5 job option out. UIF program aims to bring out innovative mindset among students and make them entrepreneurs. So monetising creative ideas is vital. One of the way is to organize events for students to present their ideas in front of the investors.<br>
* As one of the comments said, it would be more impactful if it's not restricted to a department.<br>
* Instead of organising this event as a competition, It would be great if we could bring actual investors to the campus to invest in the ideas.<br>
* This could be done on an annual basis just like other college fests.<br>
Implementing this idea in the campus can bring out many numbers of worthy startups every year.
