http://stevens.usc.edu/student_app_form.phpWHAT IS INNOVATION?
Innovation is the process of translating new ideas into tangible societal impact.
Innovation and Imagination go hand in hand. True innovation is taking an imaginative idea and turning it into something that changes our world. Changes the way we live and work and think, and impacts our lives in the most fundamental way. Student innovation at USC includes advancements in every discipline, from cinematic arts, music and social sciences, to information technology, engineering and life sciences. WHO SHOULD APPLY?
If you are a student innovator and have a research project you would like to present, we want to hear from you! (Teams are encouraged to apply.) Students may present work in a variety of ways, such as through poster/panels, art exhibits, and electronic media. We are eager to include innovations that exemplify the following:
• Innovation in ALL disciplines, including the arts, science and technology, medicine, etc.
• Potential for tangible benefit / impact to society (How could your work change our world?)
• High novelty (Has anyone done this before?)
• Presentations with visual interest and impact (engaging, high-touch demos, diagrams, etc.)
• Progress turning idea into a tangible product, service, or organizational model
• Enthusiasm of innovator (and/or team) to introduce their work to students and parents at USC!QUESTIONS? Contact Elisa Wiefel (213-821-6063, wiefel@usc.edu)Location: Trojan Residence Hall (TRO) - USDALE PARKWAY

EE Students Practical Guide Seminar Series - The Start-up Company Experience
Fri, Oct 12, 2007 @ 11:30 AM - 01:30 PM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Seminar Speakers: Profs. Keith Chugg and Chris KyriakakisOrganizer: Prof. Alan Willner * Pizza will be graciously provided by the EE Department.*This seminar will give an insider's look at the start-up experience. We will describe the process as we experienced it and look at the pros and cons both for starting a new company and also for joining one in the early stages. The presentation will cover early steps that include not only having a good idea, but coming up with a plan on how to develop it and pitch it. The pitch must be tailored differently for individual investors and venture capital firms as they are looking for different things. Selling a technology takes even more work. We will also cover the funding process, building a management and an engineering team, finding customers, and putting together a roadmap of technologies that follow the one that started the company. For those that are considering joining a start-up in the early stages, we will discuss what these companies are looking for in new employees. We intend to have an interactive discussion rather than a lecture, so please come prepared with questions.
Location: Seaver Science Library (SSL) - 150

An Integrated Approach to Site Characterization of a Fractured ....
Fri, Oct 12, 2007 @ 01:00 PM - 02:00 PM
Sonny Astani Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Granitic Bedrock Aquifer in Southern CaliforniaSpeaker:
Mr. Theodore R Johnson III,
Hazardous Substances Engineering Geologist,
CalEPA, Cypress, CA.Abstract:Fractured granitic aquifers are one of the most challenging geologic environments to characterize and remediate. At great expense and countless hours of site investigation, fractured granitic sites remain geologically complex with a great deal of uncertainty regarding contaminant fate and transport. As the science and technologies develop we are gaining a better understanding as to the physical, hydrological, and chemical nature of fractured granitic bedrock aquifer systems. Successful characterization of fractured bedrock sites rely on effective integration of a number of effective basic investigative tools: Lineament analysis (macro view); structural mapping of fractures (micro view); surface (resistivity and seismic) and downhole geophysical tools; evaluation of corehole data; groundwater sampling; fracture inter-connectivity tests; and evolution of the Site Conceptual Model. These data are being used to generate site-specific interpretation models relating several independent rock properties (fracture orientation, aperture, density, etc.) to hydrologic properties of the fractured granitic aquifer system (permeability, storage, and water quality). This presentation provides a case history of an ongoing site characterization at a fractured-bedrock aquifer site where investigative techniques are effectively integrated using a combination of techniques to iteratively mold the Site Conceptual Model and ultimately lead to effective and efficient remedial alternative implementation.Location: Kaprielian Hall (KAP) - reilian Hall, Room 209
