Changes

*RSVP: stengekh AT rose-hulman DOTedu

Following are an array of strategies that will fully address Gap #1 over a 2-3 year period:

Students at RHIT show interest in being challenged and being able to use their creativity to solve complex problem. Currently, Engineers without Borders provides an excellent venue for students to become involved in social entrepreneurship. Teaching students in a class setting will further spark the interest in social entrepreneurship. A high percentage of engineering students at RHIT want their work to be ethically sound and provide a positive impact on the world, whether this be socially or environmentally. 

If course cannot be offered in Spring, work on Fall quarter.

Description

If dates, funding or speakers do not work out, plan for the fall.

Many students may have excitment with an idea and research they have conducted through Independent Projects / Research Oppurtunity Projects (IP/ROP). They may have ideas on how to make this research marketable, but do not have the knowledge to start. A workshop at the end of each quarter, after the End-of-Quarter Symposium for the IP/ROP may be helpful to provide insight on how to utilize research to get the ideas patented. Free resources that can aid in the initial paperwork of the paten process will be provided. Also, providing a contact for students to a lawyer or an appropriate faculty member for patent review will be benificial.
