Teaching New Ventures Creation to Engineers and Computer Scientists
Edwin R. Addison, Johns Hopkins University
ABSTRACT:
This presentation will overview the experiences of teaching a course called 'New
Technical Ventures' to engineers and computer scientists at The Johns Hopkins
University over the past several years. The course is aimed at engineers with no
prior business courses and who have aspirations of starting or joining an early stage
high tech venture. It is based in part on the author's book 'Leveraging the Horizon'
to be published in early 2003 by Executive Excellence. The course has been offered
both in the classroom and as an online course. The course covers the traits of the
entrepreneur, innovation, selecting and evaluating a venture opportunity,
developing marketing and financial plans, sources of capital, presenting a business
plan. This presentation will describe what has worked well and what has not in this
course.
