The UConn School of Business and School of Engineering announced a new class available starting in Fall 2017. This new course, MGMT 3500 (Technology Innovation and Entrepreneurship) gives students in Business and Engineering the opportunity to collaborate with one another to develop business products and opportunities. This will be a hands-on experience where students can learn technology to design and prototype their business ideas. The course is based on team ideation, multi-stage prototype development and the development of complementary business models.

The course will be taught by faculty from both the School of Business and the School of Engineering with  the assistance technology and business experts. These experts will present to the class regulary and provide feedback on the team projects.

Grant opportunities will be available to students under the Third Bridge Grant if they successfully develop and pitch their ideas.

Additionally, students taking the course are encouraged to take part in Innovation Quest and CCEI’s Accelerate UConn.
