Students that take this course will learn how to equip themselves with the appropriate entrepreneurial skills so that they can actualize their ideas (whether big or small) for improving the world. This course will be a hands-on approach, through actualizing participant ideas, to getting things "out there" for broader benefit. Key topics covered will include clear articulation and presentation of your idea, how to know if your idea is viable, who might be interested, what's needed to put your idea into motion, action planning and measuring the success of your idea. Though this is a primarily project based course, case studies, readings and other means will be used to explore, develop and realize your idea.
Independent Work Students in this course are expected to spend at least six hours a week of preparation and work outside of class time. This time includes such things as project research and development, project management and documentation and other activities as needed. Field trips are anticipated. Lab Fee: $40.00
