This course is meant for students in engineering and other disciplines who seek a challenging, interactive, team-based, and hands-on learning experience in entrepreneurship and technology. In this highly experiential course, students work in simulated start-up teams to create products or start-up ideas to address a broadly-defined need of an industry partner or social challenge.

Research why people might choose alternatives to meat and build a business concept around what you find. This class is a deep dive into ethnographic design research to uncover latent needs surrounding the consumption of meat and its alternatives. We will cover ethnographic interviewing and video creation, design-space modeling techniques, design thinking ideation tools, prototyping, idea validation, and business modeling.
