This movement could be considered “entrepreneurial” ina broader sense because a distinct set of related issues seem to have been at its core: deviations ingoals (e.g., reducing famine, improving irrigation, addressing farming ecosystem challenges, helping the poorest segment of the population), changes in context (e.g., agricultural techniques,irrigation, farming ecosystems, value chains), different end users (e.g., farmers, landowners,marginalized workers) and operating model pivots (e.g., university action research project,farming

Commercial potential was evaluated by the students themselves with the goal to gaininsight into the process that their future senior design projects would eventually undergo at theconclusion of their senior design experience.

While one student felt that the values of her writing class werepositively echoed in her discipline’s collaborative coursework, others lamented the few explicitopportunities to formally practice technical communication as an engineering value outside oftheir writing classes. In effect, these students felt that any additional quality that a student’swriting brought to a project or assignment outside of their writing class was not recognized inrubrics or grades. This lack of explicit curricular value for writing disappointed students who’dinvested effort in their writing classes. Three students noted that they made a personal point oftransferring the skills and standards of their writing class to other coursework, but they felt thatthey

First, web services leverage thepowerful communication paradigm of the web and the ubiquitous HTTP/SMTP transportprotocols. Services may be accessed globally and via firewalls. Web services also providea lightweight approach to offering and reusing software applications. Unlike traditionalsoftware libraries that need to be downloaded and included in a project package, webservices are invoked by exchanging well-formed messages on the Web. Nothing butclient-stubs needs to be included in the project package. The user-side burden can befurther relieved when invoking RESTful services, where REST design pattern is

the drop diameter6,7.For this project we used Diamond Jet Silver Nano Ink printed on to Epson paper. Usingthe DMP-2800 fiducial camera the drop diameter was measured to be 30 µm. If the dropspacing is to close, then the ink tends to pool up causing inconsistent print quality. If thedrop spacing is too large then the ink may not be continuous. We found that using a dropspacing of 25 µm provided sufficient overlap and avoided pooling up of the ink. In one ofthe samples it was observed that the resistivity was not uniform on the x and y axis. Inthe x direction the resistivity measures about 0.5 Ω/cm, however in the y direction itmeasured 100 KΩ. This is due to drop spacing being too large and the tendency of theink to flow in the direction of
