Are you an entrepreneur?
Engineering Innovation and Entrepreneurship (MECH 498/898) is a new, one credit hour course for Spring 2011. It meets Tuesdays from 8 a.m. to 9:45 a.m.
Professor Shane Farritor with UNL Mechanical Engineering developed the course to be a blend of engineering, business and art. A Nebraska native, Farritor graduated from UNL and earned his master's and doctorate degrees at MIT. His research has generated two startup companies: Virtual Incision and MRail, which have earned angel investment funding.
"Being creative and innovative can make you a linchpin in an organization and lead to a more fulfilling career," Farritor said. He added, "this class will explore innovation and entrepreneurship, and challenge you to see how good you can become."
