Introduction to Technology Commercialization – ENGR 498A / BIOEN 504
How can we most efficiently move technology from the university to the market? The revised Program on Technology Commercialization (PTC) course sequence is designed to provide students with the fundamentals of this process and suggest how we can most efficiently do this translational process.
Spring Quarter's Introductory Course (ENGR 498A / BIOEN 504 - Wednesdays & Fridays, 3:30-5:20pm, Electrical Engineering Building Room 105 will feature outstanding guest lecturers from the local entrepreneurial community sharing knowledge, expertise, and personal experiences as they relate to topics such as:
We want all senior undergraduates and graduate students in the College of Engineering interested in the commercialization process to take the course - the topics are general and not specific to a particular area of engineering. Later courses in the sequence will focus on particular technology areas, but this course is a general introduction with a modest work load. Students also will meet a number of outstanding entrepreneurs from the Seattle community.
