Course Description:
This course introduces how significant innovations are created and launched and how they generate new entities, jobs, and value for stakeholders, often changing the world. The focus is on how engineers drive innovation through engineering design and customer discovery. This course will help students understand the broader context in which innovation, invention, and engineered solutions exist -- and how ideas are tested, prototyped, and refined for market. Students will also be exposed to a historical discourse on innovation and how today's approaches were honed by practitioners willing to change how the world views the entrepreneurial journey. Not creditable as an elective to the Engineering major.
