Description:Quality education with a background in engineering and science can lead engineers to create innovations with high potential value. Nevertheless, unlocking value from innovation is not an entirely intuitive enterprise, and success is not guaranteed. This course is created to better prepare students for a future of innovation and entrepreneurial success. The course outline comprises three phases of entrepreneurship: the creative phase, the critical phase, and the crusader phase. It endeavors to provide students with useful skills and practical experiences that are relevant to each phase. Each week will include a brief presentation to set the direction, followed by short discussions of the assigned case studies and a review of fundamental principles from the core text. Student teams will regularly present work to the group, create success metrics, and chart progress. The Creative Phase: The class will work in small groups to create a new business concept. Students will learn brainstorming techniques, leadership, teamwork, and business model innovation. With core values set as a foundation, teams will present their proposed business models and rational basis for income forecasting. The Critical Phase: The class will identify and challenge assumptions to assess commercial viability. Students will find third-party market research to size up the opportunity and gather real customer feedback to refine their strategy. Skills gaps will be appreciated and negotiated solutions sought. Financial and growth metrics will be established to measure success, and threats will be faced. Students will present their SWOT analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) and link this to their revised strategy (business model). The Crusader Phase: Students will learn what is "acceptable risk" and develop a growth mindset (in contrast with fixed mindset), gain power from emotional intelligence, deal with failures (decide to pivot or punt), and learn the difference between i

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
