There shall be guest lectures and hands-on workshops on
entrepreneurship, intrapreneurship, innovative thinking, intellectual
property and patenting, venture funding and related issues. The students
will be made aware of the resources available for entrepreneurial
endeavors through the entrepreneurship minor at Penn State. Successful
teams will also be encouraged to collaborate with
business/entrepreneurship students to form Advanced E-teams and take
their tested proof-of-concept system to the next stage towards
commercialization.
The student design projects will be exhibited at the
Project Showcase at the HUB.
