Course registration and meetings: Due to the project-based format, capacity is limited and auditing is not feasible. REGISTRATION IS PERMITTED ONLY WITH THE PERMISSION OF THE INSTRUCTIRS.

For registration in SPIRE use one of the following as appropriate for your program of study:
• Graduate Students: SCH-MGMT 797B, course #30743 or ENGIN 797B, course #31888
• Undergraduates: SCH-MGMT 597B, course #30871 or ENGIN 597B, course #31986

Classes meet on Tuesday, 5:30-8:00 P.M. in the Isenberg School of Management.

Preference will be given to students in the Engineering Management Minor (597B) or in the IGERT program (797B) and to students who have project concepts or who add substantially to the expertise and diversity of teams.

Students are invited to meet in the ISOM lobby at 5:00 P.M. prior to class for informal networking with the instructors, speakers, and Entreclub members and supporters.

Note: Student teams often find this course helpful in preparation for the campus business plan competition, the Innovation Challenge (www.umass.edu/innovation).

Communications: Web communications will be set up for the class with information on access to this distributed separately to registered students. Primary instructional materials, such as copies of lecture notes, other than copyrighted materials requiring purchase, will be provided electronically.
