48352	Lecture-Discussion	EGE	6:00PM -8:20PM	T	403B2 Engineering Hall	Lilly, B	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/14/08-04/30/08 Credit: 3 hours Section Info: Topic: An Entrepr Appr to Green Engr. As in the past, the future business opportunities for engineers and scientists will involve solving the world�s biggest and most important problems. Technological breakthroughs in pollution control, resource utilization, and protecting human health and the environment will drive new businesses, services, and potentially create a business revolution on the scale of the industrial revolution. This course is designed to introduce engineering students to global environmental issues in the context of applying entrepreneurial principals and market forces towards solutions. Students will actively engage in the examination of a critical environmental issue in their particular engineering discipline and explore solutions that make sense in a free enterprise business framework. It is envisioned that this course and similar courses can change the prevailing notion that entrepreneurship is inherently in conflict with the over consumption of goods and natural resources, and that entrepreneurs themselves are not particularly concerned about the social welfare of the planet. Restrictions: Senior Standing Restriction(s): Restricted to Engineering or Graduate College. Not intended for students with Freshman, Sophomore, or Junior class standing.

Six Sigma Black Belt skill level course. The course is designed to follow the Six Sigma Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control (DMAIC) process. Students are expected to acquire the ability to apply the concepts and methods of statistical process control, designed experiments, and measurement systems analysis to the cases of quality and productivity improvement. Students will be able to apply the fundamentals of quality engineering and Six Sigma to the areas of product development, service enterprise, and manufacturing processes. Senior standing or above required. Restriction(s): Not intended for students with Freshman, Sophomore, or Junior class standing.

With today's highly competitive global markets, products cannot be created in a vacuum. Engineers (and inventors), as the product creators, must intimately understand the markets their products are created for. Successful engineers understand the basic principles of marketing and sales and how these principles apply to product innovation. This course will introduce students to relevant marketing and sales topics and provide a foundation for applying these principles through the use of real-world cases. Topics include: engineering perspective on marketing and sales; customer-centric communication; establishing influence; methods of customer interaction; and channels of distribution, as well as the keys to marketing yourself.
