The Management of Technology minor integrates the fields of technology and management, allowing students in science and engineering majors to develop understanding and expertise in business principles. The curriculum includes basic business knowledge, with an emphasis on technology-intensive organizations. Topics include strategy, finance, marketing, intellectual property, innovation, and technology planning. Each class will include exercises that inform students on those business topics, and give them an opportunity to practice the fundamental skills of communications, teamwork, and project management.
