OSE College Project
Contents
Vision
OSE College is a credit & degree granting institution of higher learning that offers on-site courses to an international audience leading to AS, BS, MS, and Ph.D. degrees in open-source systems, methods, enterprises, to develop the capacity of individuals and organizations to serve their communities and further the realization of the OSE vision.
Project Goals
Develop a feasibility brief containing
- a set of incremental stages for the vision and the design goals that are met with that stage
- a list of the regulatory bodies and approvals required to operate during each phase
- a minimum viable first step
- a set of next steps for a business case

Project Team
Design Goals
- PD or continuing education credit
- GI Bill payments acceptance
- For ex with UMKC - we offer programs that their students can take and tuition money can pay for
- Technical school - certifications such as welding or CAD or machine design
- Degree programs
- PhD in movement entrepreneurship, meaning people not only study a problem, but act on it during their intense study
- Providing training visas, such as for Ken from Indonesia who is here, who thinks the H-3 Trainee visa would be easiest to secure.
- Provide official invitations for education which would qualify foreign people to come here on a student visa (I9) and allow them to stay after completion of the degree program for a practicum
OSE College Mission, Vision, Values, Objectives, and Curriculum
Stages
- Third-party provider to UMKC of a 6 course program component
- Independent College offer certificate programs
- Accredited AS & BS programs, perhaps in partnership with CC & UMKC
- Accredited MS program
- Accredited PhD program
Feasibility
Determine the requirements for accomplishing stages 1-3. This task will depend on researching and navigating regulations and agencies described at Accreditation Primer.
Tasks to determine Feasibility
- Meet with UMKC to establish desire to move forward & mechanism of 3rd party delivery with UMKC professor in charge of each course (& verify this option still permitted)
- stage 3 resources HLC, ED, Department of Education and Workforce Development
- Form advisory group representing OSE (OSE-AG)
- Meet with OSE-AG to
- Define certificate program competency areas
- Define course competencies
- Develop course descriptions
- Determine whether courses will meet UMKC needs when built out
Stage 1
- AR VR XR training for builders of Seed Eco-Home 2. Collaboration with UMKC $35M center. This is a generic system for inputing digital data and manipulating it in AVX-R.
- Vets get trained to build aquaponic greenhouses as a business. We know this works for systems much less integrated than ours.
- CEB press + 3D printer - off-grid relief shelters that feed into affordable housing anywhere including aquaponic greenhouse for long-term relief shelter with food production and home microfactory for producing shoes, building materials, and cordless power tools.
- Certify OSE via curriculum creation. Accreditation is submission of curriculum.
Courses around these projects:
- seed eco-home
- aquaponic greenhouse
- off-grid solar
- CEB press
- 3D printer
- open source microfactory - as a basic survival/thriving package.

Just met with some people from meet-our-team-of-researchers
They are excellent at grants, and want to help.
One thing we said - create curriculum accredited by UMKC. Can you write this? ... how much time would it take to create a curriculum for vets/students/entrepreneurs to build seed eco-homes with aquaponic houses, usable also in another variant as off-grid solar-food-microfactory in emergency use (which typically ends up being long-term). See more notes at UMKC_Proposal.
I'm thinking 6 semesters
- seed eco-home
- aquaponic greenhouse
- off-grid solar
- CEB press
- 3D printer
- open source microfactory - as a basic survival/thriving package.
