CET Curriculum Sequence
From wiki
The CET Curriculum Sequence empowers students to become technology leaders through classroom and hands-on study of entrepreneurship and commercialization. This program is for any student seeking to gain insight to which technologies gets commercialized, why entrepreneurship is critical to this process, and how to lead this process.
The sequence focuses on classroom and experiential learning and is taught by a team of leading entrepreneurs who have built ventures from the ground-up and have lead innovation within global corporations. Upon completion of the sequence, a student may go on to start a venture; lead innovation within an established company; or pursue a professional graduate degree.
