While developers of technology normally rely on attorneys foradvice about the protection of their ideas as trade secrets or as patents, developers can betterprepare for this process if they understand basic concepts of IP law. Indeed, they will know whatto do before seeking counsel, when to seek counsel, and what to do when they meet with theirattorneys.In law school, IP is usually taught as a second- or third-year course, when students already

By linking data servers that store data about individual geographiclocations, the entire world could be made into a single GIS boundary. This means that datacould be obtained from servers all over the world to process a single query. International andFederal agencies, as well as, governments of foreign countries and educational institutionswould benefit mostly from such applications. Again, this calls for a more sophisticated dataorganization, standardization with regards to resolution, accuracy, currency and structure. Thisapplication also calls for a different kind of GIS analyst. For example, the server and

In the evening, the students used the information they learned during the day topractice using rocketry software, such as wRASP and VCP. After successfully arriving atthe answers, the students were allowed to start working on the competition project. They were towork in teams of two and create a single stage rocket using parts from the Estes Designer’sSpecial kit provided by the instructors. The teams were to predict their apogee altitude (AA) anddistance downrange (DD). The team’s prediction arriving closest to the actual AA and DD,would win the contest.

The emphasis in thesophomore year is for the students to gain a reasonable mastery of designing successivelymore complex digital circuits using these tools.
