The class
Engine Lab is a 9-unit, letter-graded course specifically designed for students who are considering launching, joining, leading or investing in deep tech ventures. A key feature of the class is our Engine Lab Projects, where students will have an opportunity to work closely with founders, teams, and investors on a tangible problem facing a deep tech venture:
- Work with deep tech ventures that have already raised formal venture funding.
- Ventures are committed to meeting with students to maximize the value of the engagement.
- Projects focused on how to design partnerships for capital projects, production and supply chain.
- Project teams of 6 people from interdisciplinary backgrounds.
- Voting for project selection (ahead of course) – we will do our best to give you a top choice!
