Engineering Entrepreneurship

Minor in Engineering Entrepreneurship

Penn Engineering offers a Minor in Engineering Entrepreneurship (EENT), complementing the core engineering disciplines. This Minor is designed for students majoring in engineering and applied science. However, it is open to all University undergraduates subject to available class space.  Non-engineering students should check with their home schools to determine their eligibility to take the EENT Minor. All courses for the EENT Minor must be taken for a grade (no Pass/Fail). Successful completion of EAS 5450 is a prerequisite to EAS 5460 or EAS 5490.

**For current Pass/Fail grade information please see the SEAS website**
