This two-semester course in innovation and entrepreneurship is designed to give students the requisite skills to generate and screen ideas for new venture creation and then prepare the business plan for an innovative technology of their own design. The curriculum will focus on the ability of students to identify market needs, validate those needs, develop appropriate solutions, and construct the business case. Students will form multi-disciplinary teams to explore specific market spaces, usually provided by outside sponsors. The first semester will focus on identifying problems worth solving. During the second semester, teams will 1) select one problem, 2) design and build the solution to that problem, 3) identify the inherent commercial opportunities, and 4) formulate the business plan.
