Description:
Position: Sessional Lecturer I (1 position available)
Course title and code: Taking a New Venture to Market - APS1035H
Course description: “Taking a New Venture to Market” teaches an engineer how to sell a new idea, product or service. At some point in most engineers’ careers they find themselves needing to convince their boss, their company, their co-workers, or a client to try some new idea. That new idea, product or service might be so novel that there are no easy comparisons to be made to something existing and proven. This course will teach engineers how to get people to listen and gain enough trust in them to take a chance on their offer. Students will learn how to organize and communicate their thoughts and facts in a way that will increase their probability of succeeding in convincing the deciders that they should take a chance on a new idea or innovation that they passionately believe in. APS1035H is delivered in 12 three hour classes that are a mix of lecture and role play exercises. Lectures provide the background material necessary for various course assignments. Eight of the lectures are devoted to student presentations or role plays around marketing, sales, and negotiation. Real world scenarios based on actual events in the experience of the instructors are used as case studies around which the students prepare their presentations, role plays and homework assignments. Presentations, role plays and assignments will be graded for the course mark.
