Course Catalog Description
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.
Class Description
The workplace is changing—and changing rapidly. What separates those who will get ahead in this uncertain future from those who get left behind? Individuals with the ability to think like an entrepreneur and navigate the unspoken rules of innovation in both work and life will have a competitive advantage in a future where change will be the only constant, and success will be determined by the ability to quickly learn and adapt to new environments.
Workplace transformation has been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, and companies are rapidly adopting emerging technologies such as 5G, artificial intelligence and blockchain to gain an edge. Meanwhile, the massive competition for talent in fields such as cybersecurity and data science will decide which individuals and companies will succeed in the future – and which will fail. What will the future workplace look like? How can companies compete for talent by creating innovative workplaces that prioritize workers' happiness by empowering them with autonomy, the ability to master skills, and purpose to make an impact in their field?
In this course, you will learn about the hottest—and most under-looked—trends in the workplace that will shape your future, meet distinguished guest speakers who are leading transformation in their firms, and develop practical professional skills that will help you go further, faster in your career.
Open to students from all majors and levels who want to be entrepreneurs and those who don’t (or aren’t sure)!
