Two educational institutions engaged in these efforts are highlighted inthis presentation.Nanotechnology ApplicationsDespite the fact that the concept underlying nanotechnology was first discussed by RichardFeynman almost 50 years ago, it was not until 1980 that the term “nanotechnology” wasdefined in the context of its application by Dr. K.E. Dexter. (1) Two developments in1980’s, the formalization of cluster science, and the invention of the Scanning TunnelingMicroscope (STM

The return to the university for a reassignment of ownership will be ten percent (10%) of the net revenue generated by the intellectual property.An “Innovation” committee was formed to advise the university about which intellectual property is worthprotecting and licensing. The committee is made up of faculty and administrators. The committee is chairedby the executive director of the West Michigan Science & Technology Initiative (WMSTI), an organizationdedicated to developing intellectual property from its member organizations in the region.Student InvolvementThe faculty supported the policy

. During the first three clue hunts, each team member had the chance to be a leader for thefirst time. Upon completion of the solution report, each team member including the leaderassessed the leader’s strengths and weakness without necessarily knowing what exactlyconstitutes a good leader. This served as a learning experience where each student decided whats/he wanted to see from a leader or what s/he should work on as a leader. For the last three cluehunts, each student was required to serve as leader one more time, but this time a more formalleadership assessment was performed. Various leadership skills were stated on a form and eachstatement was rated with a 5 point scale. The leader was given the completed forms, whichincluded a self

She also citedPeter Drucker’s observation in the 1980’s that there was a need for more knowledge to doentrepreneurship and that it was time to develop the “principles, the practice and thediscipline.”Economists view the supply of entrepreneurship as subject to the same forces as otherresource behavior. That is, it depends upon the perceived benefits and opportunity costsof the decision to pursue the entrepreneurial path. For example, the explosion ofentrepreneurship in India and China can be traced to expanded awareness and lowering ofobstacles to initiating new
