ELIGIBILITY: This scholarship is available to any eligible senior student who is participating in the Enterprise Program as part of their undergraduate degree program at Michigan Technological University. The scholarship is intended for those students who have completed all of the required project course work, but would like to participate in the program for an additional semester.

The Enterprise Program is seeking a new logo that we can use in our print and WWW publications. We'd like to invite MTU students, staff, and faculty to submit possible logo designs.

Themes to consider:

* Design
* Entrepreneurship
* Communication
* Problem solving
* Multidisciplinary teamwork & collaboration
* Professional development

Details for spring Professional Development Courses are now being updated on the Curriculum & Courses page. Some courses are still listed as "By Arrangement"; be sure to check back for updates.

The next ESAB meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, October 27, 6:00 p.m. in M&M 724. Teams and team leaders should make sure that your team is represented on the board with a regularly attending representative or an alternate.

At the outset of the Enterprise Program, participation at any level (i.e. students both enrolled and not enrolled in enterprise project courses) was encouraged in order to grow the program. Potential negative legal and ethical implications of this open participation practice have recently been raised however, and must be properly addressed. Allowing for the participation of students not enrolled in enterprise project courses presents increased liability, particularly for those students working in the lab/shop environments. Without the ability to track these students through the appropriate project courses, we are unable to ensure proper training/safety. In addition, by allowing students to participate in enterprise design/manufacturing related activities without enrolling in the associated courses, we are, in effect, allowing these students to take coursework without charging tuition – obviously an undesirable situation for both the university and for those students who are paying tuition for the same educational experience.

With these factors in mind, the Enterprise Governing Board has established the following Enterprise Enrollment Policy:

“Volunteer” student participation is not permitted in the Enterprise Program. In order for a student to participate on an Enterprise team, they must be enrolled in an appropriate Enterprise project course.
