Course Catalog Description
This course will explore various topics around technology innovation and entrepreneurship. Topics will vary by semester.
Class Description
Why did Altavista fail, and Google succeed? Same for Myspace and Facebook? Was it technology, marketing, people, luck, execution, or something else? It is trivial to discern good ideas and profound technological shifts after the fact. But how could you become your own futurist and learn to analyze emerging trends and foretell the outcome? We will study and analyze both failures and successes in virtual reality, blockchain, artificial intelligence, healthtech, and other technologies. Students will conduct literature reviews, netnographic analysis, and case studies in order to identify patterns that they could later apply to their own research, career decisions, or entrepreneurial ventures.
The format of the class will include lectures, guest speakers from distinguished entrepreneurs and innovators, peer-reviewed presentations, quantitative and qualitative data gathering, and group exercises. Students will produce a technical report highlighting the barriers for adoption of emerging technologies. The report has the potential to be published and added to your professional portfolio.
Critical thinking and the ability to question everything are the only prerequisites for this analytical survey course. This class is open to students from all majors. Some seats in the class may be reserved for students in certain majors to ensure that we have the appropriate mix of technical backgrounds, but the remaining seats are open to anyone. SCET welcomes students with diverse backgrounds, perspectives and skills to join our collider environment where we create new ideas!
