Three innovative business ideas developed by the Iron Range Engineering program faculty and students are semifinalists in the statewide Minnesota Cup competition.
Krisara Engineering, a concept for a better cardiac pacemaker, entered in the competition by Dan Ewert, Iron Range Engineering Program director, is one of ten semifinalists in the BioSciences Division.
Within the Student Division, two northeastern Minnesota ideas are semifinalists. Power Trowel Solution Applicator, a solution on-demand design, is entered by Austin Mekash. Pedal Powered Canoe, a hands-free canoe operation device, is entered by Cory Moran. Both are students in the Iron Range Engineering Program.
The Minnesota Cup competition is a statewide search for breakthrough business ideas. More than 1,000 entries were received this year in the sixth annual competition. More than $130,000 in seed capital, along with professional services, will be awarded to winners.
Review boards will after July 23 narrow the field in each of five divisions to three finalists. The top breakthrough ideas will be announced September 13. For more information on these or the other industry-sponsored projects that the Iron Range Engineering students are working on, please visit the IRE student blog at www.irengineering.blogspot.com/.

Bemidji State University will begin offering an ONLINE Bachelor of Science in Accounting this coming Fall Semester 2010 so students can receive their degree without leaving the area.
Accounting is an information system that represents the economic resources and responsibilities of business or non-business enterprises. Monitored over time, it is used as a decision-making tool for the allocation of resources and evaluation of responsibilities. Accounting information impacts major economic decisions that have national and even global impact. The Accounting program teaches analytical, theoretical, communication, and leadership skills necessary for effective accounting and for advancement in public, private, and government and fraud examination careers.
Upon graduation, Accounting majors may write the Uniform Certified Public Accounting Examination, the Certified Internal Auditor Examination, and/or the Certified Management Accountant Examination and/or the Certified Fraud Examination. Certificates are issued upon attainment of a satisfactory score and completion of appropriate credits and the appropriate work experience.
If you have questions or are interested in this program, please contact Trent Janezich, Director, Arrowhead University at 218-262-6790, or email him at
