Core Courses	Description
ENGR 407/SI509 (Seminar:pass/fail) ENGR 490.001 (1 cr) Distinguished Innovator Speaker Series 4:00-5:00PM STAMPS AUDITORIUM / 3:00-4:00PM, 1690 CSE Instructors: Doug Neal and Thomas Zurbuchen	This seminar is designed to expose students to entrepreneurship in engineering through interaction with business leaders, venture capitalists, and attorneys, as well as individuals involved in emerging business models, new venture creation, and technology commercialization. While covering a broad set of engineering disciplines, guest speakers will share their knowledge on the latest, most diverse practices on legal, financial, and other management issues. The lectures include leading entrepreneurs and executives, technology innovators, experts from the financial markets, and others who support the entrepreneurial infrastructure. During the receptions following these seminars, students will be able to meet the guest speakers along with other members of the entrepreneurial community.
ENGR 520 (1 cr) Entrepreneurial Business Fundamentals for Scientists and Engineers 3:30-5:00PM Tu/Th Prerequisite: Junior or Senior Standing Instructors: TIM FALEY/PETER ADRIAENS LOCATION: ARR	Inventors and entrepreneurs have four concerns related to patent law: protecting inventions during product development, determining invention patentability, avoiding infringement, and leveraging a patent as a business asset. This course addresses these concerns through the application of case law and business cases to an intervention of the student's choice.
ES 715 (3 cr) Innovative New Business Design 6:30-9:30PM TU Location: E1550 BUS Instructors: TIM FALEY	Innovative New Business Design (formerly Driving the Innovation Process) is a graduate-level, semester-long, 3-credit hour course that will be offered in the Winter 2010 term on Tuesday evenings, 6:30-9:30pm at the Ross School of Business. This course for graduate engineering and business students is crafted to provide you with the understanding, skills, tools, and a process for completing the first phase of creating value from a new technology-based innovation: designing an innovative business from anew technological discovery. In short, this class will show you how to determine an answer to the question: interesting technology, but where's the business? From real emerging technologies, teams of b-school and engineering students will determine the business (if any) that can be formed around the technology. Before you launch your business you need to have a plan. Before you develop your detailed business plan, you need to assess the feasibility of your potential new business concept. But how do you formulate a sound, detailed, value-capturing, market-driven business concept from your new technology? Particularly before you have either a product or any identifiable market? This class will show you how. You'll apply the methodology taught in class to a semester-long project in mixed teams of engineering and MBA students. This course is open to a limited number of graduate students from the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business and College of Engineering. Click for [ COURSE FLYER ]

I, II Engineering students will explore the dynamics of turning an innovative idea into a commercial venture in an increasingly global economy. Creating a business plan originating in an international setting will: challenge students to innovate; manage risk, stress and failure; confront ethical problems; question cultural assumptions; and closely simulate the realities of life as an entrepreneur.

Elective Courses	Description
ENGR 195 (3 cr) Multi-Disciplinary Engineering TIME: 10:15-11:30AM, TU/TH (Lecture)       1:30-3:30P M/F (Project) Location: 1006 Dow Instructor: Dacid Chesney	ENGR 195 (270) Multi-Disciplinary Engineering (known as ENGR195-063 (lecture) and -064 (lab) during winter semester, 2010) The lecture portion of the course covers topics that are essential to all disciplines of engineering. Topics include the following: Similarities and differences in engineering disciplines; Modeling languages used in various disciplines; Design / build / test (DBT) across disciplines; Basic intellectual property law; Business of engineering, including innovation, feasibility, funding models, and business planning; General and engineering ethics models; Catastrophic engineering system failures. In the lab portion of the course, student groups will implement a multi-disciplinary and socially relevant project. Example projects from previous semesters in this and other related courses include implementing a computer interface device for a high school student with cerebral palsy, and constructing a 'treadmill' device for the Chem-E Car Team in the Wilson Student Project Center. Students may enroll in the lecture portion (ENGR195-063), the lab portion (ENGR195-064), or both. The course will fill the 2 credit ‘DBT’ requirements for students wishing to complete the Multi-Disciplinary Design (MD) minor. The course will also fill the 3 credit 'Cornerstone' requirement for students wishing to complete the MD minor with a specialization in Socially Relevant Computing. The course will not fill both the DBT and Cornerstone requirement.
ENGR 405 (3cr) Problem Solving, Troubleshooting, Entrepreneurship, and Making the Transition to the Work Place Time: 12:00-1:30PM TU/TH Location: 1690 CSE Instructor: H. Scott Fogler	The goals of this course are to help students hone and enhance their problem solving, critical thinking, creative thinking, and troubleshooting skills and to ease the transition from college to the workplace. The course will also have outside speakers to discuss “Do’s” and “Don’ts” on your first permanent job, cross cultural communication skills, and financial planning. Students will work in teams to carry out the home problems, interactive computer problems and the term project. The term project will be to work with a local business or a university department to find and solve problem in their operations. The businesses that participated in previous years were Ace Hardware, Panera Bread, Starbucks, Zoup!, the Chemical Engineering Department staff, and the University of Michigan Dorms.

Social Entrepreneurship Courses

Description

ENGR 490.094 SOCIAL VENTURE CREATION (3cr) Time: 3:30-5:00PM TU/TH Location: LBME 1123 Instructors: Moses Lee

Announcing a New Social Venture Creation Course at the University of Michigan. The new Social Venture Creation Course, in partnership with the Center for Entrepreneurship at the College of Engineering and the William Davidson Institute, seeks to be an innovative, action-based learning laboratory that brings students across disciplines at the University of Michigan to work on solving society’s challenges – together. In this course, students will form multidisciplinary teams and take steps to launch a social venture. By the end of this course, student teams will submit an implementation plan and make a presentation on a social venture idea to a panel of industry experts and potential funders. The hope is that some of these multidisciplinary student teams will be able to launch a social venture upon completing the course – and make real, long-lasting impact. After taking this course, student teams will be able to assess the opportunity for a particular device, product or service in a community and the feasibility of starting a social venture around it. The course will use cases, readings, videos, lectures, group projects, and group discussions to help students understand the social entrepreneurship movement, the building blocks for starting a social venture, assessing and enhancing a social venture’s impact, raising capital, and scaling-up a social venture.
