Dear ECEDHA Members, Industry Partners, and Colleagues,
Welcome to the September 2015 issue of The ECE Source. I hope that you had both a relaxing and productive summer and are now ready for the new academic year.
This issue of the ECE Source is focused on Entrepreneurship Education. There are three feature articles two of which describe initiatives by professors to infuse entrepreneurially minded thinking at the undergraduate level and a third article on the National Science Foundation's i-Corps program. The latter article was prepared by Dr. Badri Roysam, Chair of the ECE Department at the University of Houston who will be taking over as the Editor-in-Chief of the ECE Source. I want to personally welcome Badri to this new position and am very confident that he will do an excellent job. He already has many fresh new ideas and lots of energy that he will be bringing to the ECE Source.

Fostering the "ECE Lab to Market Translation Pipeline": The National Science Foundation's Innovation Corps Program
By Badri Roysam, University of Houston
ECE labs have a long-established track record of academic innovations that have made it to the marketplace. The National Science Foundation (NSF) has developed an unconventional funding initiative that aims to foster, support, and accelerate this process. Known as the NSF Innovation Corps, or I-CORPS
(
http://www.nsf.gov/news/special_reports/i-corps/)
, the program is by itself quite innovative, and deserves to be publicized among ECE faculty and students.

Going Pro: Engineering Extraordinary Value
By KEENZine
What could be more exciting than watching the big game from a front row seat? How about weaving through the action from the comfort of your couch?
The aerial sports camera has made this possible. The original aerial camera system known as Skycam soars directly above athletes and spectators, suspended by four high-strength, Kevlar-wrapped, fiber optic cables, capturing unparalleled, real-time views. "Skycam is the only camera in major sports to cross the boundaries and enter the field of play," ESPN Sunday Night Football producer Jay Rothman says in an endorsement of the system. "The viewer experiences being in the action of the NFL."

Sponsored Article: Creating Quick Connections with IoT Development Kits
By Bill Giovino, Mouser Electronics
The Internet of Things (IoT). Either it is coming, or it is already here. Regardless, it's important to understand exactly what IoT is and why it is happening. The internet of things is about connecting things (non-humans) to the internet. These things use or involve data, data that must be measured as part of a greater system. The data is measured by a small internet-enabled embedded system, some of which can be as small as a postage stamp.
