M. Murtagh.

This course emphasizes entrepreneurial driven materials enabled designed through the understanding of early stage product development complexities. These complexities include staging invention and innovation via the critical selection of materials for final product function, performance, reliability, cost, and technical marketability. Students will expand on their foundational materials design understanding (MSE 3070 prerequisite) through attending lectures, participating in a team based ”hands on” design “startups”, attend startup design reviews, give a series of individual/group presentations, and wrtie a startup issue paper. The Tech Startup is integrated into the SC Johnson College of Business (SCJCoB) MBA candidate-mentoring program.
