Turning Ideas into Successful Companies. 0-3 credits

Catalog description

An advanced course in entrepreneurship focused on discovery and development of an achievable business concept. The centerpiece of the course is development of the formal business plan and associated presentation materials. Students are assigned to teams and must hypothesize a new business, research and test their hypothesis, and develop a comprehensive written business plan. The plan must be for an actual business that the students intend to start upon the successful completion of the course. Technology-based projects are encouraged, but not required. Because the course is cross-listed with IT&E and the Costello College of Business, most teams will include both engineering and business students. Weekly presentations of the team's progress are required.Offered by SBUS Multidisciplinary. May not be repeated for credit.
