  3. Sustainable Technology Entrepreneurship for Scientists and Engineers • What is this about?

  4. Sustainable Technology Entrepreneurship for Scientists and Engineers • At the core is “entrepreneurship”: • What is entrepreneurship? • Who is an entrepreneur? • When is entrepreneurship (private sector action) to be preferred to government policy or charity (public sector action)? • The role of the Land Grant university (i.e. where we all sit and work) in stimulating entrepreneurship.

  6. Sustainable Technology Entrepreneurship for Scientists and Engineers • We further focus on “sustainable”. • What is sustainability? • Why is it an important guiding principle for new enterprise? • Two dimensions of interest: • poverty (“BOP” or “Base of the Pyramid”) and • environment. See article by Nidumolu, Prahalad, and Rangaswami “Why Sustainability Is Now the Key Driver of Innovation”.

  7. Sustainable Technology Entrepreneurship for Scientists and Engineers • Why is this course “…for Scientists and Engineers”? • How does this make the course unique (compared to business courses for typical MBA or even GSSE)? • Explanation of the composition of the class and the split between Ag and Engineering.

  8. Sustainable Technology Entrepreneurship for Scientists and Engineers • The syllabus • The team project
