'''Innovation and Commercialization'''
In order to compete in the economy of the 21st century, successful engineers and business leaders must not only understand technology, but they must also understand the process of bringing ideas to market. Innovation is the process of developing ideas and bringing those ideas to market. This course covers the basics of innovation and commercialization – the process of moving concepts from the idea stage to successful products and services in the marketplace. This course will draw on “lean launch” methodologies used in early-stage business formation (including the business model canvas, the customer discovery process and rapid iteration around a minimum viable product – MVP), and it will offer a taste of “design thinking”. In addition, this course will develop specific content areas and skills useful in engineering and technology ventures for both early stage and later stage businesses including intellectual property, venture finance, and financial modeling. The skills developed in this course are intended to be valuable to an individual launching their own business as well as to individuals who want to excel in existing enterprises large and small.
'''Entrepreneurship Certificate'''
As you advance in your career, you’ll need to be an entrepreneurial thinker. New ideas and innovation are what help companies grow. Whether you want to launch your own business, work in a smaller firm, or even work in a large competitive company, it’s important that you understand what it takes to develop an idea, product, or process into a new business or to help an existing company expand.
Entrepreneurship Certificate students gain the knowledge and skills needed to assess new business opportunities, obtain financial resources, market and start new ventures, and manage entrepreneurial ventures for growth and profitability. As part of the certificate program, you will develop a business plan and present it to faculty and entrepreneurs for feedback, giving you a real flavor of what it takes to get a business off the ground.
