ME2073 Business Development Lab of Entrepreneurship Engineers 9.0 credits

Business development lab is complementary to the course ME2072 Entrepreneurship for engineers The course is mainly directed towards project work during different phases of business plan development. This project work is supported by supervisors. Furthermore, the course contains applied lectures by university graduates and practitioners and a number of digital e-learning modules and group projects. Towards the end of the course, the students are trained to present their business plans. The course is completed with a presentation of the business plan for prospective investors.

It starts with a winter school. In this winter school, the students should get familiar with business ethics, and they are divided into groups. The groups are interdisciplinary and students from other disciplines are also invited (according to accessibility on different nodes). During the course, the pupils of the winter school should choose an idea/challenge/problem that preferably should be developed by the students themselves, or by university graduates or business associates.

After passing the course, the students should be able to:

1. Systematically explore and create ideas, as well as change existing ideas on business solutions and handle obstacles during the process
2. Describe and explain the different phases in a business development process
3. Describe and critically review ethical considerations and team processes in connection with the development of new ideas to business solutions on a commercial market
