Entrepreneurial and Innovation Skills Development Modules

The business stream activities will be carried out in the Xerox Centre for Engineering Entrepreneurship and Innovation under the supervision of mentors from the business community and academic staff. Five compulsory enterprise modules will focus on providing the Master's degree candidate's basic skills to select an idea with good potential, manage the innovation process, then create and manage the business outcome. The skills will broadly cover all the business life cycle from startup, through growth to sustainability.

The modules will develop an understanding of both the innovation and the entrepreneurial processes and through lectures, workshops and hands-on work, will enable the student to fully exploit the potential of the engineering enterprise project. Each module is considered the equivalent of a half-course as defined by the School of Graduate Studies, but will contain elements of lecture, group work, presentation and other activities as defined in the course outline.
