Got a link?
G'day Frosty,
First I'll tell you a story about a mate of mine in the US, when he was at school he was asked to design a battle bot and go into the robot competition. mind you this was way before robot wars got popular and was basically done between Uni's. My mate designed a 2 wheeled bot and the teacher copied his design and patented it, now the teacher is a multi millionaire and just got look at the 'throwbot' to see what my mate designed and how he got totally ripped off.
Now in your case this plasma speaker you have designed, is there ANYTHING on the market similar to it or is this a new invention. Personally I would copyright your design and one easy way to that is include everything to do with the project. Put it in an envelop and send it to yourself via registered mail DON'T EVER OPEN THE ENVELOP. If you find your design has been ripped off and some guy is making huge $$$$$ out of it, sue him and produce that unopened letter to the judge. Being a registered letter it will be date stamped then you can prove beyond doubt that you were ripped off. Here in Australia this has been done before and it did win the legal case for the little guy.
I would say to the school due to the hard work and expenses you incurred in designing the plasma speaker you feel you should have the right to charge a fee to help you recover your out of pocket costs.

The first question is who owns the work ? It may well belong to the school ! So be sure you are on firm footing prior to making noise.
To me the $50 would be insulting. I would look for something substantial.
BUT: More importantly this work can be you ticket to a good job in a real R&D lab (if that is what you want). If you rock the boat too much it is possible you could be branded as a trouble maker.
Ah I almost forgot: Congratulations !
Sure, lets see this video.link for what the school ?
To date I have yet to hear a single EE student say he was happy with his school.
Thank you that is very helpful, I shall mail myself all the work before submitting a final report to the school (which is a form of intellectual proof I guess)
correct me if i'm wrong, but i believe that in canada,Make sure you put a C inside a Circle and Date the Copy with Your signature
correct me if i'm wrong, but i believe that in canada,
a copyright for something you have made is implicit and those little c's with circles around them are not actually a necessary ornament on your evidence. same goes for "all rights reserved" and that sort of thing.
Pics or it didn't happen.
