Student teams launch a high-tech company over eight quarters in a simulated business environment. Decisions are made in all major business areas-e.g. product development, marketing, operations, finance- in competition with other teams.

Non-EMP students require instructor permission. Requisites: Requires prerequisite courses of EMEN 5010 and 5020 (all minimum grade D-). Restricted to graduate students in Engineering Management Program (EMEN) only.
