Over the course of a semester, every student is asked to complete a paper or project, regardless of their major.
Students involved in CFE’s ENTR courses are no different.
The difference in these projects is that there is the possibility some of these ideas might be the seedling that could eventually bloom into a million-dollar product or service. Here are just a few of the projects students have conceived over this fall semester.
