Klase sa Pagpapatakbo ng Negosyo sa Teknolohiya sa UP

Listen to article

Bago lang pumunta sa isang oras na talakayan sa Kolehiyo ng Inhenyeriya ng UP sa Diliman para sa isang elektibong klase tungkol sa Teknolohiyang Pang-entrepreneurship. Napakagusto ko ng klasing ito.

Ang tagapagbigay-pananaliks ay ibinahagi sa akin kung paano niya nabuo ang ideya pagkatapos makipagsanib sa MIT at naniniwala siyang maganda itong ipatupad sa pambansang unibersidad. Kung nasa kolehiyo pa ako, kinuha ko nang walang pag-aalinlangan ang elektibong ito.

Una, ito ay nagpapakilala sa mga mag-aaral sa mga batayan ng paggawa ng negosyo, lalo na't ang klase ay ibinibigay sa mga estudyanteng inhinyero at computer science. Ang isang siyentipikong isipan kasama ang mahusay na kakayahang pangnegosyo ay maaaring maghanda sa mga gradwado upang suriin ang posibilidad ng pagpasok sa isang tech start-up agad pagkatapos ng kolehiyo.

Ngayon, ipinapakita sa mga mag-aaral ang mga hamong tunay na nangyayari sa kasalukuyang panahon at nakikinig sila sa iba't ibang eksperto mula sa industriya upang makakuha ng mas malinaw na larawan ng merkado.

Teknolohiya at ang internet ay tumutulong na palakasin ang pantay-pantay na larangan, at kung ito ay itinuturo sa mga mag-aaral nang maaga, mas handa silang harapin ang tunay na mundo pagkatapos ng kanilang pagtatapos. Mayroon ka bang naramdaman na nagtrabaho ka ng apat na taon sa kolehiyo pero ginamit lamang 10% ng natutunan mo matapos lumabas sa paaralan? Akala ko ang karamihan ay may outdated na kurikulum sa mga unibersidad. (baka ako lang dahil ang aking kurso noon ay nasa experimental stage pa...) Bago ko kalimutan, ang huling pagkakataon na pumasok ako sa silid-aralan bilang isang mag-aaral ay walong taon na ang nakalipas.)

Kailangan nating magkaroon ng mas maraming ganitong uri ng mga elektibo sa paaralan. Ito ay isang paraan upang palaganapin ang mga hinaharap na teknopreneur at gawing katotohanan ang Silicon Valley sa Pilipinas.

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.
