A student project for AHSE1500: Foundations of Business and Entrepreneurship (taught in Spring 2006) featuring an Olin College themed tradable card game. It consists of cards of students, professors, locations, and events.
This record contains the Final Report for the project and scanned images of all the cards in the game.
In order to reduce the negative environmental impact of obsolete electronic devices, the CloudBlue SCOPE team developed innovative uses for computer equipment at the end of its life cycle. The product design process included analysis of both technical feasibility and financial viability, while incorporating principles of user-oriented design and materials science. After examining many potential ideas for redirecting e-waste, the team refined a coherent product strategy to create revenue for CloudBlue by giving new life to old electronics. This strategy synthesized the team’s exploration of the most promising methods for extracting material from the waste stream and using it to manufacture new products for targeted end-use markets.
The Olin Raytheon/WHOI SCOPE team is assisting WHOI in the buoy design effort by writing software tools for managing the energy budget of a deployed buoy. Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI) scientists are constructing buoys for the Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI), an NSF funded program that will construct a network of buoys for monitoring physical, chemical, geological, and biological variables in the ocean and on the sea floor. The buoys in development for the OOI by WHOI will be expected to operate for 25 years with annual maintenance. Power for an array of reprogrammable sensors will be dependent on a combination of solar and wind power generation and an on-board fuel cell replenished during the annual maintenance.
