Description

318. HIGH-TECHNOLOGY VENTURES. The purpose of this course is three-fold: to introduce students to the process of technological innovation within a business; to learn to work effectively within a multidisciplinary team; and, to design and prototype a product working with a local company. Students experience what it takes to bring a product (or prototype) from concept to market. The class is centered on product development and writing a business plan to support the product. Students will spend time in lecture and laboratory and will make off-site visits to the partner company. The final outcome will be a prototype and a business plan. Prerequisite: junior or senior standing and instructor approval. Spring semester only, three hours.
