Senior Design – 2006/2007
• Expanded to full year program First term: prototyping and strategy
• intellectual property (w/ Technology Licensing)• group dynamics• business development - end of term business plan
Second term: design, analysis, design again• validation• regulatory compliance• presentation
• Representatives of University Technology Licensing and outside industry volunteers involved in advising and evaluating the design teams.
• Independent efforts in an entrepreneurial environment.
