Mechanical engineering professor Mark Horstemeyer speaks to participants in the Jack Hatcher Entrepreneurship Seminar, part of the engineering entrepreneurship certificate offered as a collaboration between Mississippi State's College of Business and the Bagley College of Engineering. The class meets weekly and features engineering alumni and regional entrepreneurs who have had recent major success from which students can learn. Holder of the Center for Advanced Vehicular Systems Chair in computational solid mechanics, Horstemeyer has researched a helmet design that will help prevent concussions. He is raising venture capital toward production of the helmets.
