Although the improvement was not completely designed, muchof the more difficult analysis was completed, which showed that the proposed system waspotentially worthwhile. In addition, Br. Lawrence was able to learn some basic heat transferconcepts that were relevant to the evaporator, which may shape future plans and modifications tothe maple-making process. In particular, he was quite interested to learn that increasing theflowrate in his proposed cooling-water system would – counterintuitively – decrease theeffectiveness of the attached sap melter. The collaboration also increased the awareness of themaple program among the engineering community, and vice versa. The student who completedthe project stated that

According to a 2015 article 3 , in certain cases, it does not even matter whether a candidate has a bachelor’s degree in a specific area: companies are looking for candidates with hands-on experience in software development through “hack-a-thons,” extracurricular projects, and internships.The purpose of this article is to describe an attempt to provide non-traditional students with thissort of hands-on knowledge and experience via a 12-week programming course provided by aUniversity and community partnership. We describe the partnership and the resulting courseincluding several problems that were encountered and lessons learned. We then describe a coursethat was planned

Students developing leadership skills from both engineering andbusiness were organized into teams to identify and solve a sustainability problem. Each studentwas not only focused on the overall competition, but also in defining their roles and leadershipopportunities. Both teams and individual students had periodic metrics to report, as well as detailtheir plans for influencing stakeholders or teammates in specific action areas. While

However, thecommunity has realized that startups are fundamentally different that large companies, leading to theconcept of the “lean startup”[7] which says that new ventures should quickly and cheaply validate orinvalidate hypotheses through delivering the minimum viable product to potential customers well beforecommitting to large investments and long timeframe development efforts. This approach essentiallyamounts to an application of the scientific method in a new venture context[7].The nation’s 160,000 libraries empower the innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem.

Theprogram is structured so that young women from nearby schools come for a 2-hour block to oneof the departments’ computer labs that have the AutoCAD software available.
