Topics include special problems of newly formed firms, planning, start-up business considerations, business strategy, management basics, and business plan design. Students will engage in business and entrepreneurship training or discussion, become aware of basic business operations, and learn about inventions, intellectual property, and the patenting process. Other topics include assessment of possible markets, venture feasibility, teambuilding, and leadership. Opportunities in university environments will be discussed including incubation centers and patent licensing. We address legal issues, SBIR proposal design, SBIR funding from NSF, NIH, and others, the review process, reporting, local high-tech business accelerators, venture plans, and venture capital. Prerequisite: Students must be in an engineering professional program.

ENGR 4391. INTRODUCTION TO UNMANNED VEHICLE SYSTEMS. 3 Hours.

Introduction to unmanned (aerial, ground, surface and underwater) vehicular systems (Unmanned Vehicles Systems), their history, missions, capabilities, types, configurations, subsystems, and the disciplines needed for UVS development and operation. Application through interdisciplinary team projects pertaining to development of UVS. This course is team-taught by faculty from various engineering departments. Prerequisite: Junior standing (60 or more hours) and admission to a professional engineering program.

ENGR 4392. UNMANNED VEHICLE SYSTEMS DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION. 3 Hours.

A Team engineering approach to a UVS design project that integrates engineering knowledge from several courses. Problem definition and creative synthesis of prospective design solutions. Engineering proposals, feasibility studies, trade-off studies, systems models and analysis, decision making, and engineering reports and presentations. The design of a UVS is finalized, a physical model (prototype) is manufactured and tested. Redesign and retest is accomplished as desired. The final design is documented by written report and oral presentation. Prerequisite: Junior standing (60 or more hours) and admission into the professional program.
