HSI is to provide a place where some of Wyoming’s most intellectually talented high school sophomores can gather before their junior and senior years, living and studying in an environment with no pressure for grades, and sharing ideas and friendship with other gifted students. The primary purpose of the program is to annually draw 100 talented high school sophomore students to the university for an intensive examination of unanswered questions and unresolved challenges. Among the areas that are probed include: world hunger, plants and people, knights and cowboys, drama, ethics and society, communicating with computers, understanding cultural development, pharmacy, fundamentals of computer design and programming, and

In this true story, he was so successful that his students were accusedof cheating because the results were too unbelievable to be true. Another contender is professorof classics William Hundert (Kevin Kline) in the film, “The Emperor’s Club.” Hundert ispassionate about his teaching, his subject, and his students. The movie focuses on hisrelationship with Sedgewick Bell (Emile Hirsch), an ethically challenged student who Hundertattempts to change. Hundert ultimately fails in this task.

lamp’s design was also guided by ethical considerationsthat had to be integral to the design and implementation of a device for medical applications in alow-resource environment. First and foremost, the students recognized that reducing the cost ofthe device should not come at the expense of its safety. If the resulting product was not safe, itwould unfairly put those who use them at risk, and compromise the goal to develop technologyfor communities that need better medical resources. Additionally, it was crucial to the designprocess that the team was in constant communication with stakeholders at SPHMMC, whoprovided insight into the hospital’s needs and feedback on the lamp’s design.

Students and faculty not covered by non-disclosures and who are not privy to the details will be naturally curious and in some cases resentful. The very real danger is inadvertent disclosure to colleagues who have no imposed restrictions and may even have their own industrial partners but with less restrictive agreements. Fortunately, after some instruction, the students only initiate some good natured ribbing. 5.
