Ocean Engineering<\/p>\n\n\nEntrepreneurship minor form<\/a>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n

The Minor in Engineering Entrepreneurship blends technology and business to provide engineering undergraduates with the skills needed to become entrepreneurs, innovators, and leaders in both start-ups and established companies. Students learn best practices in new product development, the business of engineering, financing and planning projects, patents and more in this hands-on program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Requirements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Requirements of the minor are satisfied by completing 18 credit hours from the required, and supporting courses shown below, depending on the major discipline. A minimum GPA of 2.00 must be earned in these courses. At least one-half of the credits must be earned at the University of Rhode Island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will need to complete the Engineering-Entrepreneurship-Minor-Form<\/a> and have it signed by program coordinator. You should also consult with the program coordinator when considering available supporting courses regarding the specific options available based on your engineering major.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
