Information:
Entrepreneurship in Engineering is an introductory project-based entrepreneurship class designed to give students the ability to explore the different aspects of what it means to be entrepreneurial and learn the tools and frameworks needed to successfully go from concept to company.
Students will:
- Explore the various aspects of what entrepreneurship can look
like
- Understand the mindset of an entrepreneur
- Learn about methods, frameworks and tools for discovery,
validation, design and development
- Learn where to start and what to think about when creating a
new
venture
- Gain exposure to various aspects of entrepreneurship from
product
to team to legal to fundraising
- Learn about obstacles that may threaten success
- Be introduced to entrepreneurship resources at MIT
Learn hands-on how to think about bringing an idea to fruition, with exposure to those who have done it at MIT and in the surrounding community. Although we will cover the basics of new venture creation, you do not need to have an existing idea or project that you are working on.
Even if you’re not ready for a start-up, this course is designed
to provide you insights from others who have taken entrepreneurial
paths and insights into their experiences and critical decision
points they encountered along the way.
