Fall 2008 Entrepreneurship Course Previews
ENGN 1930S: Land Use and The Urban and Suburban Built Environments: An Entrepreneurial View
Through the use of readings, group discussions, student presentations, feasibility analysis and guest lectures, students
examine and challenge the analytical and structural frameworks which underlie and support public and private land use and
development in the urban and suburban built environments. Students build an understanding and theory of how social, political,
governmental and economic forces interact with society’s present and future physical space needs. This course is taught
from the entrepreneurial perspective as opposed to the sociological, political or urban study perspective.
ENGN 1930V - Engineers of the Future: Architects of Dreams
In this course, students are provided a broad platform for the purpose of integrating the fundamentals of science and technology
as presented, for example, early in the Engineering concentration (or its equivalent) with the spectrum of learning needed
to continuously create, capture and sustain value in the face of a constantly changing world. Challenges and demands such
as: renewable energy sources; causes and effects of global warming; sufficient drinking water; green buildings; and infrastructure
needs in developing countries are examined from an entrepreneurial viewpoint using multiple approaches in a variety of cultural
settings in the greater context of “good work.” Through a combination of readings, discussion, guest lectures,
case studies, a customized design and case writing project each participant learns to think dynamically across diverse domains
while gaining mastery over the distinctions that power successful global problem solving.
