Technology Entrepreneurship Class in UP

Listen to article
방금 디리만 UP 공과대학에서 기술 기업가정신 (Technology Entrepreneurship) 과목의 선택강의를 위해 1 시간 동안 강연한 자리에서 돌아왔습니다. 해당 강의는 매우 흥미로웠습니다.

강의자는 MIT 강의를 수강한 후 이 아이디어를 떠올렸으며, 주립대학교에서도 같은 과정이 있으면 좋겠다고 생각했다고 저에게 말씀하셨습니다. 제가 여전히 대학생이었다면 이 선택과목을 기꺼이 수강했을 것입니다.

먼저 이 과목은 공학 및 컴퓨터공학을 전공하는 학생들을 대상으로 창업의 기초를 소개합니다. 과학적 사고력과 탁월한 비즈니스 감각을 갖춘 졸업생들은 대학 졸업 직후 기술 스타트업에 진출할 가능성을 탐색할 수 있도록 준비됩니다.

둘째, 학생들은 최신의 실제 세계적 과제를 제시받고 산업 내 다양한 전문가들의 강연을 통해 시장의 더 명확한 그림을 얻습니다.

기술과 인터넷은 공정한 경쟁 환경을 조성하는 데 도움이 되며, 이를 학생들에게 일찍 가르친다면 졸업 후 현실 세계에 더 잘 대처할 수 있습니다. 대학에서 4 년을 보냈지만 학교를 떠난 후 실제로 배운 것의 10% 만 사용했다는 사실을 깨달아 본 적이 있으신가요? 대부분의 대학교 커리큘럼이 구식이라고 생각합니다. (아마도 제 전공이 당시 실험 단계였기 때문에 저만의 생각일 수도 있겠지만...) 잊을 뻔했네요, 제가 학생으로서 교실에 들어선 마지막 때가 8 년 전이었습니다.

학교에서 이러한 유형의 선택과목을 더 많이 운영해야 합니다. 이는 미래의 테크노프리너를 양성하고 http://www.yugatech.com/blog/netrepreneur/silicon-valley-in-the-philippines/ 필리핀 실리콘밸리를 현실로 만드는 한 가지 방법입니다.

UP offers technology management as a graduate program. It has courses on technology management, entrepreneurship, marketing, etc. It’s actually like MBA, but focuses more on the the innovating side of it (and not the numbers). I think you’ll find it very interesting. http://www.tmc.upd.edu.ph

The most underrated school in UP is the UP ITTC (IT Training Center). It is just a one year course sponsored by Japan. Curriculum is very dynamic and current and unsurprisingly all of the graduates get to work abroad in a snap.

It is a graduate course though, so finish your degree first.

It’s nice to know that UP has a class like that. I actually had my Technopreneurship class which is similar in nature to that last term in DLSU.

I would’ve wished though that we had more hands on with regards to the technology side of the start up because most of what was taught and discussed was only entrepreneurship and its basics. *sigh*

@Andre, maybe you’re into ISPs and Data Canters that still use tape backups?

@ Goe D, haha! My cousin had to drag me to STI the summer before first year high school.

@jhay, I think sometimes it’s with the students din. I learned HTML not from school but from a dorm mate back in college.

@Jazzy, it’s nice though that the younger lecturers are introducing more updated subjects even if they’re just electives.

One problem in the school system is, people who decide what and which curriculum to implement are outdated.

Nice post Yuga.

This good new subject plus updated tech and IT subjects as well. I’m saddened to find out that few of the IT students in DLSUD know little to almost nothing about new web and tech start-ups.

This will help solve the problem of the IT braindrain in the country.

This is true, I graduated in college back in 1996 and have no clue what is RAM is in reality. Took me another vocational course (manual course training) just to learn more about RAM. This good to have an elective (or let’s say a reality class) that teaches the current IT trend, on hand not on words. Also expose the students in real world they will facing after college – the IT World they will engage in. I don’t know how the school’s lab today compare to where it was when I was in college. Hope the big round floppy disk is not in there anymore BUT the new 4GB USB flash drive….

I had a class on IT. They taught us about Tape Drives and OCR and stuff that has been outdated for years. This was 2002 BTW. You need to teach technology that is current. IT courses should always be relevant.
