96-717 Special Topics: Technology-based Product Innovation and Enterprise Creation

12 units, Carnegie Mellon University

This course focuses on the innovation of products based on emerging technologies that are ready for technology transfer, but have not moved past the "research lab". The course will follow a rigorous product innovation process that begins with identifying opportunities for products using these technologies, understanding the needs of the potential customer and other stakeholders, and developing concepts that illustrate the potential product. The course will include understanding new technologies, extensive customer research, product innovation methods, and initial business execution planning that includes market definition and execution planning. The results of this course may follow into 96-809, Enterprise Innovation in the spring term, to further develop the concept and execution plan into a viable market opportunity. For this year, technologies will be based on CMU research ready for tech transfer. Offered by CIT and the Integrated Innovation Institute
