IST 337Technologies for Digital Entrepreneurs

3 credits · Information Sciences and Technology · Penn State

This course introduces the student to the applications, technologies, and tools for entrepreneurs engaging in or considering engaging in a start-up or running a small-to-medium size business. Although there will be some consideration of product concept development and implementation, much of the course will be devoted to the tools and infrastructure need to support a start-up up a small-to-medium size business. These concepts and skills will also support entrepreneurs looking to develop new applications to open new market opportunities. This will be a very hands-on and active class that relies on approaches such as problem-based learning (PBL), "flipped" classrooms, and learning by doing. Students will spend time outside class learning key concepts and time inside class applying them.
