The School of Engineering has designed a series of formal academic courses that provide skills training and insights on innovation and entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n
All engineering students are required to take two core courses that challenge students to design an innovative\u00a0solution to a problem facing society.<\/p>\n
ING1004 \u2013 Engineering Challenges:<\/strong> this is an introductory course for freshmen students, the primary goal of which is to provide a learning experience where students are challenged and motivated to complete an engineering design project. Students work together to address a real problem facing society, applying innovative, creative, and functional designs to construct a quality prototype.<\/p>\n ING2030 \u2013 Research, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship:<\/strong> this course began within the context of the \u201cNew Engineering for 2030\u201d project, which is financed by Corfo. The objective of this course is for all School of Engineering students to realistically experience the complexities, uncertainties, and challenges of being an entrepreneur – from imagining and creating an innovate techno-scientific product to commercializing said product. To gain these experiences, students are asked work on a semester-long group project in which they must collaborate, investigate, construct, and implement a solution prototype, in addition to presenting a coherent business plan for the final product.<\/p>\n Apart from these required courses, the School of Engineering offers a wide variety of undergraduate and graduate electives on the subjects of innovation and entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n ICC2234 Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Construction<\/p>\n ICS2010 Design Strategies for Innovation<\/p>\n ICS2015 Workshop on Entrepreneurial Skills<\/p>\n ICS2018 Entrepreneurship Competencies<\/p>\n ICS2730 Topics in Entrepreneurship<\/p>\n ICS3356 Innovations in Strategy<\/p>\n IDI2995 Entrepreneurship Mentality and Methods<\/p>\n IEN3610 Technological Innovation and Management<\/p>\n IMI3000 Creativity, Innovation, and Critical Thinking in Design<\/p>\n IMI3100 Technological Ventures<\/p>\n IMI3250 Negotiation and Leadership for Entrepreneurs<\/p>\n IMI3280 Collaborative Networks and Innovation<\/p>\n IMI3300 Strategic Management and Innovation<\/p>\n IMI3330 Innovation and Design for Foods<\/p>\n IMI3350 Social Innovation<\/p>\n IMI3360 Innovation in Digital Commerce<\/p>\n IMI3400 Business Planning and Financing for Ventures<\/p>\n IMI3450 Psychology of Innovation in Organizations<\/p>\n IMI3500 Systems, Environment, and Networks for Innovation<\/p>\n IMI3600 Marketing and Commercialization of Ventures and Innovative Technologies<\/p>\n IMI3700 Innovation Laboratory<\/p>\n IND3720 Technological Innovation and Management<\/p>\n INF3450 Information Technologies for Innovation, Quality, and Entrepreneurship<\/p>\n ING2040 Social Entrepreneurship and B Corps<\/p>\n INP3540 Competitive Intelligence and Technological Awareness for Promoting Innovation<\/p>\n
