Academics

The Engineering Entrepreneurship Academic Program is designed specifically for engineers and scientists. Courses are approached from the perspective of the student whose primary interest is in technological innovation, whose primary concentration is on engineering and science courses, and who has little or no prior business education. The curriculum is designed for students whose primary interest is in technology, as opposed to business management. Learn more about the curriculum here.
