Technology Entrepreneurship Program
Taking a step ahead from engineering...
The TEP is tailored specifically for young engineering students. The tools this program provides are immensely beneficial both inside and outside of the business world. For those students who aspire to be entrepreneurs, it allows them to jumpstart that process by testing out and experimenting with ideas. For those students who want to become core engineers and join large companies it helps them develop skills to innovate and succeed in their field.
This program has two goals: first, and foremost, it shall help the students develop several key competencies, offer a broad management education, and enable them to be more innovative and self-confident in whatever careers they choose to undertake. Second, it offers mentoring and other support to help the student’s efforts to create and launch new business ventures.
Programme Format
The future of education increasingly lies with those that can effectively integrate the latest tools, technologies and learning methodologies into next generation learning spaces – both physical and virtual. ISB with the help of Global faculty has designed the Program.
TEP has developed a two year semi virtual program, a combination of online and offline modules. The Semi Virtual Programme format allows participants to understand and practice the concepts of design, management and entrepreneurship while continuing their technical learning at their home institutions. The TEP seeks to provide innovative approaches to engineering education through a combination of learning, experience and mentoring. TEP gives students diverse learning opportunities through interactions with global faculty, experiential learning, and industry contact.
Curriculum
The TEP curriculum intends to complement the technical training the undergraduate engineering students receives from their respective home institutions through a combination of learning, experience and mentoring. Main components of the program
• Design Thinking Workshops
• Speaker Series
• Core courses in Product and Service Design 101, General Management and Entrepreneurship, and a specialized course titled “Lab to Market”
• Lab activities and exercises (as part of the online courses) to synthesize the theoretical learning
• A hands-on “Design Challenge” that student teams will participate and compete in teams
• Workshops and mentoring for students pursuing own new ventures
The program tries to recreate the classroom experience for the students through the Learning Management System specially created for this program. Through the LMS, students have access to the various modules, interact with other TEP students, faculty, discuss topics on discussion forum and solve their queries with the teaching associates through calls.
