Innovation & Entrepreneurship

Catalog description

This course allows students to engage in a fast-paced and challenging environment that will foster practical and theoretical learning experiences in the areas of innovation and entrepreneurship. This approach is based on Kolb's Experiential Learning theory. The learning experiences enable students to apply the theoretical knowledge acquired throughout the certificate program to culminate in a business competition where students will aim to win seed funding for their startup. This experiential learning approach facilitates a relevant context to develop the skills necessary to work in a multidisciplinary team facing real business challenges often within a limited set of resources. Prerequisite: ENGR 5381 w/grade of C or better.
