Overview
The Entrepreneurship and Technology Management Track (ETCM) offers courses in management and entrepreneurship. As with the other BEO tracks, the ETCM builds upon the required foundation courses but requires a higher level of mathematics and a five-course specialization in an engineering area of choice including Biotechnology/BioMaterials, IT and Computer Engineering, and Energy and the Environment among others (see tables below).
It is critical for the ETCM student to meet early and often with their BEO Faculty advisor. The ETCM track can be customized, in close consultation and with the approval of your ETCM faculty advisor, to include courses not listed in the table below. The tables below provide a summary as well as a detailed listing of courses related to the areas of specialization.
