UCF Engineering Entrepreneurship Program
UCF is offering an "Engineering Entrepreneurship" program at KSC in Spring 2002. This program has been recognized by the National Collegiate Inventors and Inno-vators Alliance (NCIIA) as one of the most innovative and balanced Technical Entrepreneurship programs in the country. This program is being considered for the NCIIA course and program grants for 2002. Some of the Entre-preneurial Teams in the program are also in the running for NCIIA's E-Team grants because of their high marketability potential and patented innovations. This course could open a window of opportunity for any aspiring entrepreneur who has an innovative idea or who may want to get started by commercializing NASA or University technologies. This course is strongly supported by the NASA Technology Commercialization office and the UCF Technology Incu-bator. For more information on this course, which begins Jan. 10, please contact Dr. Carmo D'Cruz at cdcruz@mail.ucf.edu or by calling 321-773-6084.
