This course is a project-based exploration with teams of students working together in a large innovation and entrepreneurial context. The purpose of the course is to encourage development of innovative, leadership, and entrepreneurial skill sets, including financing, marketing, sales, operations, business plans, and management.

There are two major sections of this experiential course: Faculty Entrepreneurial Fellows (FEF) project and student(s) own project course. This course is repeatable such that students can obtain up to 16 credit hours total.

• For the FEF led course, students work with a Faculty member on his/her promising technology project to prove out the viability of their innovations. Based on the agreed upon expectations and extent of the project commitment, students can sign up for 1 to 4 credit hours for the semester. The agreement of course credit is decided upon prior to course enrollment.
• For the student(s) own project led course, student(s) with a potential idea that he/she/they would like to explore must identify a faculty member to supervise the project. The faculty and student(s) agree upon the scope, deliverables, time commitment and number of credits hours (1 to 4) for the semester (by completing a Memo of Agreement) prior to course enrollment.

Students interested in signing up for TE 401 should contact Terry Cole (twcole@illinois.edu) for more information.
