In today's business economy a significant
number of technical students are pursuing careers in technology entrepreneurial
firms. The Weiss School of Natural Science and the George R. Brown School
of Engineering offer an extensive curriculum in engineering and science and
students graduating from these programs are extremely well grounded in their
technical field of specialization. Unfortunately, these students have no access
to managerial concepts associated with new venture creation despite their
strong interests in this area.
- To help prepare engineering and science students for
careers in entrepreneurial organizations the Jesse H. Jones Graduate School
of Management in conjunction with the schools of Engineering and Science is
pleased to offer the following entrepreneurial management curriculum focusing
on providing an introduction to entrepreneurship for technical students at
Rice University. The program consists of two courses held sequentially within
an academic year. The courses are team taught in modular format by management
faculty, entrepreneurs, and entrepreneurial service providers.
-
- Examples of topics that will be covered include business
practices, opportunity recognition, entrepreneurial finance, entrepreneurial
marketing and intellectual property. All the material covered will be in the
context of new ventures. A key component of the program is a detailed examination
of an actual technological innovation. This project provides the important
link between the course materials and the practice of entrepreneurship.
