Entrepreneurship EFA

Today, UI engineering students are exploring venture capital, marketability of products, and technology transfer … preparing to launch tomorrow’s successful businesses – while earning their engineering degrees. Students taking the Entrepreneurship EFA will obtain a Certificate in the Technological Entrepreneurship Program. Students completing the program will gain exposure to understanding sound business thinking, acquire team-building skills in both small and large companies, understand the entrepreneurial approach to acquiring and managing resources, learn how to create a business plan, and obtain valuable contacts and network opportunities with successful businesses and industries. More detailed information and the course listing for the Technological Entrepreneurship Certificate (TEC) can be found at: http://www.engineering.uiowa.edu/about/tech-certificate.html.

Students will prepare a plan of study, choosing among the courses listed for the program, and meet with the College’s TEC representative. Approvals to be admitted to the program are obtained by the TEC representative, faculty advisor, and MIE Department Chair. One IE Program course is included in the plan of study: 056:054, Engineering Economy. Students can choose from several management oriented elective courses, including 056:153, Engineering Administration-I and Internet Systems Design. The following table provides a guide for scheduling the TEC EFA courses.
