Course & Program Grant Profile

Learn, Serve, and Prosper - Implementing Socially Responsible Entrepreneurial Projects
California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, 2005
$25,200.00

With the help of the NCIIA, engineering and business school educators at the California State Polytechnic University, Pomona are providing students the opportunity for meaningful community involvement through participation in carefully selected, socially responsible, team-oriented projects with the potential for commercial adaptation. Twenty-five students, making up six to eight E-Teams, are drawn from a variety of engineering disciplines to participate in an undergraduate seminar and optional two-quarter design course sequence offered by the College of Engineering.

Students participate in multidisciplinary E-Teams for a period of at least one academic year. They begin by visiting community partner sites, identifying projects, and generating a thorough market study, feasibility analysis, and concept design during the undergraduate seminar. During the two-quarter design course sequence, students evaluate possible designs from the seminar and develop a functional prototype, then test and modify before making a formal presentation of the concept and prototype to the community partner. NCIIA funding is made available to teams with projects that show commercial potential..
