The OnPoint Ventilation team, one of five undergraduate finalists, presented its invention to a panel of judges from the National Inventors Hall of Fame and the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office this week. Founded in 1990, the Collegiate Inventors Competition is a national competition that recognizes and rewards innovations, discoveries, and research by college and university students and their faculty advisers.
