Innovation Capstone

Catalog description

Students work with faculty and industry advisors to integrate their business and innovation learning through an applied project. In this project, real-world business problems will be addressed, and solutions will be planned, developed, and potentially deployed. The project may be entrepreneurial in nature, or it may be carried out within an existing company. The project will be conducted under the supervision of the course instructor and other advisors as appropriate. Learning from the applied project will be generalized so that the importance of the work in a broader business context will be clear. Students are required to formally present and defend their proposed innovation to the program director and capstone committee at least six weeks before they start this course. Students may not register for the course unless they have successfully completed this defense. *Note: Permission of program director.
