Want to get course credit and learn more about starting a company and building a product?<br> <br>The Wolff Center for Entrepreneurship, the #2 ranked undergraduate entrepreneurship program in the nation, is offering a course that is open exclusively to students of computer science, engineering, and other technical disciplines who want to learn about entrepreneurship. We'll meet during the winterim period (Dec. 26th - Jan. 10th with NYE and New Year's off), Monday - Friday, noon - 4 PM. It'll be an intense, compressed, two week crash course in starting with an idea and creating a company. Our focus is on technology startups, but we'll cover general business principles as well. You'll learn about the importance of identifying a problem, validating your solution with customers, making money, and building a business model.<br> <br>The course is hidden from course listings because it is not open to business school students. If you'd like to participate, add the course by section number: 19981 for undergraduate and 19983 for graduates. <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Taking this course plus ENTR 3312 qualifies you for the Wolff Center for Entrepreneurship <a href="http://www.bauer.uh.edu/centers/wce/programs/cec/index.php">corporate entrepreneurship certificate</a>. <br> <br>Please contact Dr. Panahi at <a href="mailto:hpanahi@uh.edu">hpanahi@uh.edu</a> with any questions about the course.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black'>Hesam Panahi, Ph.D. <br>Clinical Assistant Professor / Decision and Information Sciences<br>C.T.
