GEEN-3400 (3) Invention and Innovation

Introduction to invention and product innovation with a hands-on approach. Students explore the invention process, hone their engineering design skills, and explore the initial stages of entrepreneurship (patenting, intellectual property, marketing research, and raising capital). Student teams design, create, and test a potentially commercial product, and exhibit at an end-of-semester design expo. Prerequisites: Restricted to students with 57-180 credits (Junior or Senior) College of Engineering students only.
