Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering - Entrepreneurship and Technology Management (Traditional Option )

Innovation that results from engineering research leads to new business ideas that are the basis for
new companies. These new small high-technology startups drive economic growth. These activities
also help the rest of the economy due to the trickle-down effectsfrom the top-of-the-pyramid wealth
and high paying jobs to all levels of the economic strata providing regions and countries with
economic development results that cannot be reaped without it. To build this enterprise, you need
not only technology but models of deployment of technology, management talent, financial
resources, policies and educational programs that supply the right talent to create the human
infrastructure to manage all aspects of this enterprise.
The National Science Foundation (NSF), the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and many government
entities, both foreign and domestic have made this a priority and have allocated large funds to
support programs such as the NSF Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT)
and Innovation Corps Program (I-Corps), the NIH?s High-Risk Research and Innovation initiative as
well as Brazil?s well publicized ?PhD students to foreign universities? program designed for the new
crop of researchers to learn how to move technology into economic benefits. Spanish universities
that we recently visited impressed upon usthe importance of the topic to Spain?sstruggling economy.
Industries, both small and large, have developed techniques and processes such as lean startup
launch pad (I-Corp equivalent) with leading companies emphasizing innovation and entrepreneurship
in their strategy.
