ENGS 15.12 Design and Entrepreneurship

In this course, students will learn how entrepreneurs reason and behave in contexts with high uncertainty and how entrepreneurial skills might help us effect positive change in applications including and beyond venture formation. Through short sprints, weekly readings and discussions, and a longer project, students will experience several approaches to “entrepreneurial thinking.” Throughout the term, the class will discuss how each approach relates to design thinking, uncertainty, innovation, and the goals of the liberal arts.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
