Many entrepreneurship courses do an excellent job of teaching students the mechanics of creating their own businesses and provide them with the basics to get started. Where courses fall short is in encouraging students to be innovative. The Integrated Science, Business and Technology department at La Salle University created an entrepreneurship course entitled Entrepreneurship and High Technology Business. The goal of this course is to assist students in creating technology-intensive businesses. Students select their own ideas; all concepts must involve making something new or significantly modifying something that currently exists. Technology must be included in the product idea, manufacturing, and/or sales and marketing. The strength of this course is that students do become innovative and inventive; some very creative ideas have been conceived. The weakness is that, sometimes, the students do not have the expertise to make their idea a reality.
