Courses

The School of Engineering has designed a series of formal academic courses that provide skills training and insights on innovation and entrepreneurship.

All engineering students are required to take two core courses that challenge students to design an innovative solution to a problem facing society.

ING1004 – Engineering Challenges: this is an introductory course for freshmen students, the primary goal of which is to provide a learning experience where students are challenged and motivated to complete an engineering design project. Students work together to address a real problem facing society, applying innovative, creative, and functional designs to construct a quality prototype.

ING2030 – Research, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship: this course began within the context of the “New Engineering for 2030” project, which is financed by Corfo. The objective of this course is for all School of Engineering students to realistically experience the complexities, uncertainties, and challenges of being an entrepreneur – from imagining and creating an innovate techno-scientific product to commercializing said product. To gain these experiences, students are asked work on a semester-long group project in which they must collaborate, investigate, construct, and implement a solution prototype, in addition to presenting a coherent business plan for the final product.

Apart from these required courses, the School of Engineering offers a wide variety of undergraduate and graduate electives on the subjects of innovation and entrepreneurship.
