above, in the case for which the university ownsthe IP on which the companies are based, the companies license the IP from the university. Incases for which the inventors and not the university own the IP, the inventors assign the IP to thecompanies.The VA processes are shown in Figure 2. The first process is the selection of companies to enterVA. This is accomplished very carefully and involves four steps: identification of candidateopportunities, due diligence regarding IP, market analysis, and feasibility of assembling humanresources. If these steps provide positive results, a panel of experts in the field of the company isassembled, and after a presentation by the inventor(s) and extensive Q&A, the panel advises VAregarding the

course. Assumptions for a given problem can be introduced into the general equation to obtain the correct specific equation. Do not give students any equations on exams--this will make understanding of the development of the key equations a requirement for success in the course. 2) Sign error Reason - This is the most common mistake in mathematics. The traditional approach for thermodynamics (Q, heat, is in and W, work, is out) does nothing to prevent sign errors. Solution – Provide all of the equations as a balance for the control volume. Property In – Property Out = Change in Property. Have students determine how energy by heat

training of the software used for this purposes(e.g. Microsoft Excel). Within the statistical tools, the emphasis was to review with thecalculation of the mean and standard deviation, as well as traditional statistical hypothesis testing(such as t-test, the use of a p-value and q-tests) in order to evaluate the quality and significanceof the data gathered in each laboratory. Considering that some of the students have covered thismaterial in one of their previous courses, it was very important to emphasize that this is the typeof scenario in which statistical analysis is put to place.
