    Students Learn to Create the Future of Business

    The Business Development Experience, which finished its pilot year in spring 2011, unites business and engineering students in a collaborative, hands-on atmosphere to work toward a common goal: bringing a product from an idea to market. With this new program, the School of Business and Economics is integrating the development of new technologies and new businesses into the undergraduate curriculum.

On the cover: The Business Development Experience shows them how.
