Texas Aggies’ corevalues of respect, excellence, leadership, loyalty, integrity and selfless service.When completed, RELLIS will have five focal areas: an academic campus, a historic campus, afull-scale testing site, secure industry laboratories, and joint research facilities. The overarchingconcept is for one campus to provide new and multiple pathways to an academic degree forstudents with the opportunity to obtain multiple credentials, and to enable new technologies to bedeveloped and progress from the laboratory to the marketplace through collaborative educationand research.Chancellor Sharp estimated that when fully developed, as many as 10,000 students eventuallycould be studying at the RELLIS Gateway Education Center, the focal point of

Students are not conducting experiments in the stereotypical, laboratory-situatedway, but instead through Customer Discovery: students are "testing [their] hypothesis" by talkingwith and gathering feedback from customers. Exploring user needs is the foundation of theentire Customer Discovery process, to determine the value proposition, or the "value" thatcustomer will derive from the product's use. As one interviewee said, "once you understand thevalue, then later you can transform that into your requirements, documentation to conductresearch, [you can] build product, whatever.”Interviewees agreed that Customer Discovery is also when students understand, define andreframe the problem

In addition to learning and using engineering tools to invent new devices, studentswere introduced to researchers and guest speakers. It provided students a window into thereal world of scientific research, invention and entrepreneurship. Three professors invitedstudents into their research laboratories to perform scientific experiments: testing theeffect of absence of gravity on objects or materials in a drop tower; testing aerodynamicsof different objects in a wind tunnel; and using different sensors to experiment the effectsof earthquakes on different structures.

creative projects to be a goodoutcome, even if that means a loss of monopoly of interest in the Beta Project. Another new source of competition for student interest is an enlarged and well-equipped makerspace called the Laboratory for Interconnected Devices, or LID(http://psu-epl.github.io). The LID provides access to 3D printers, a laser cutter, smallCNC routers for making circuit boards, and a variety of tools for assembling and testingelectronic devices. The LID also provides a community gathering space for likemindedstudents. While it is reasonable to assume that the LID would incubate ideas for BetaProject proposals, the LID also makes it easy for students do ad-hoc work on independentprojects without needing to develop a proposal for

Iam thinking that the truly epoch-making event of the year may be man’s first successful attemptto release atomic energy, through the isolation of Uranium 235.” (Sarnoff 1941: 37) In keepingwith his reputation as a visionary, Sarnoff projects a utopian scenario: With atomic power, people may be able to light, heat, ventilate and refrigerate their homes with ease and at trifling expense. Ships, railway trains, automobiles and airplanes may be fueled for life at the time they are built. Men may carry in their pockets personal radio telephones which will enable them to communicate through the world. A myriad of new products
