APS234H1 F Entrepreneurship and Small Business

Complementary Studies Elective 4/-/1/0.50Part 1 of the 2 Part Entrepreneurship ProgramThe age of enterprise has arrived. Strategic use of technology inall sorts of businesses makes the difference between success andfailure for these firms. Wealth creation is a real option for manyand the business atmosphere is ready for you! Increasingly, peo-ple are seeing the advantages of doing their own thing, in theirown way, in their own time. Entrepreneurs can control their ownlives, structure their own progress and be accountable for theirown success - they can fail, but they can not be fired! After all,engineers are the most capable people to be in the forefront ofthis drive to the business life of the next century.

This course is the first of a series of two dealing with entre-preneurship and management of a small company. It is intendedthat the student would continue to take the follow up course


93


APS432 as s/he progresses toward the engineering degree.Therefore, it is advisable that the descriptions of both courses bestudied prior to deciding to take this one.

This is a limited enrolment course. If the number of studentselecting to take the course exceeds the class size limit, selectionof the final group will be made on the basis of the "Entrepreneur'sTest". There will be a certificate awarded upon the successful com-pletion of both courses attesting to the fact that the student haspassed this Entrepreneurial Course Series at the University ofToronto.

The course is based on real life issues, not theoretical devel-opments or untried options. Topics covered include: Who is anentrepreneur; Canadian business environment; Acquisitions;Different business types (retail, wholesale, manufacturing, andservices); Franchising; Human resources, Leadership, Businesslaw; and many others. Several visitors are invited to provide thestudent with the opportunity to meet real entrepreneurs. Therewill be several assignments and a session project. It should benoted that the 5 hours per week would all be used for whateveris needed at the time, so tutorials will not normally happen as thecalendar indicates them.

Social Sciences and Humanities Elective 3/-/1/0.50Preventive engineering approaches use the understanding of howtechnology interacts with human life, society and the biosphere toadjust design and decision-making to prevent or greatly reduceundesired effects in order to create a more sustainable way of life.Innovative approaches in four areas will be dealt with: materialsand production, energy, work and the built habitat. Students willundertake a project in one of these areas, applying context con-siderations to engineering design and decision-making. Themethods of the social sciences are applied to issues important tocontemporary engineering. (Prerequisites: APS302 or permissionfrom the instructor.)

APS432H1 S Entrepreneurship and Business Management

Complementary Studies Elective 4/-/1/0.50Part 2 of the 2 Part Entrepreneurship ProgramThis is part two of the Entrepreneurship course series. The studentconsidering taking this course would typically plan to pursue acareer in small business started by him/herself, or in a familyenterprise. The skills acquired, however, are very useful in anybusiness where a graduate might end up in his/her career, with-out the need for actually being an entrepreneur.

Our approach to teaching is based on real-life businessexperiences and many years of successful practice of "what wepreach". The course contains very little theoretical work or aca-demic approaches. It is designed to familiarise you with the kindsof opportunities (problems) likely to be encountered in an entre-preneurial career. If you really want this lifestyle and are preparedto work hard, we will provide you with the practical knowledgeand technical skills required to pursue this kind of career. Topicscovered in this course include: Marketing and Sales; Legal issues;Financing the business; Accounting for small business; theBusiness Plan and many other issues. Note that the course mate-rial may be adjusted between the two courses as required. Werecognize the value of communication skills in both the classroomand in project reports. In fact, we require that you learn how topresent yourself in a business-like manner.

As and when appropriate, outside visitors from the businesscommunity will join in and contribute to the class discussions. Thecourse deals with practical concepts, actual past and currentevents and is presented from the point of view of someone whohas "done it all". This means that what you hear is the real stuff.There will be several assignments and a session project. It should

Everyone from the media to government is talking about entre-preneurial activities as the engine of the Canadian economy. Theage of enterprise has arrived and those with the entrepreneurialspirit, the drive to create wealth and the persistency required tomake a difference to their own companies are the winners. Ourexperience shows that the most successful people in these activi-ties will be those who have the "entrepreneurial" spirit, the driveto create wealth and the persistency required to make a differenceto their own companies. Entrepreneurs are in control of their ownlives, they structure their own progress and are accountable fortheir own success and engineers are the most capable people toprosper in the global economy. Large and medium sized corpo-rations now search for the intrapreneur (an entrepreneurial indi-vidual who prefers to work inside a larger firm rather than to startor manage their own) who will lead them to success in the future. This course is intended to give the students an understanding ofsmall business enterprises and to introduce the skills needed to runone. We will cover how to launch a new firm, its technical, eco-nomic, legal, HR, marketing & sales and financial aspects togeth-er with case histories from industry. Visitors from industry will bejoining some lectures. The session project is the preparation of acomplete Business Plan by each student. The course has threehours of lectures and a Tutorial, which will be used to bring in reallife entrepreneurs as visitors. There will be lots of real activitiesfrom smaller projects to the major deliverable - a genuine andcomplete Business Plan created for your real or imaginary compa-ny. (These are parallel courses offered with essentially the samecontent: CIV488, ECE488, MIE488 and MSE488 and some areoffered in each term). Instructor approval to attend is required!

Everyone from the media to government is talking about entre-preneurial activities as the engine of the Canadian economy. Theage of enterprise has arrived and those with the entrepreneurialspirit, the drive to create wealth and the persistency required tomake a difference to their own companies are the winners. Ourexperience shows that the most successful people in these activi-ties will be those who have the "entrepreneurial" spirit, the driveto create wealth and the persistency required to make a differenceto their own companies. Entrepreneurs are in control of their ownlives, they structure their own progress and are accountable fortheir own success and engineers are the most capable people toprosper in the global economy. Large and medium sized corpo-rations now search for the intrapreneur (an entrepreneurial indi-vidual who prefers to work inside a larger firm rather than to startor manage their own) who will lead them to success in the future.This course is intended to give students an understanding of smallbusiness enterprises and to introduce the skills needed to run one.We will cover how to launch a new firm, its technical, economic,legal, HR, marketing & sales and financial aspects together withcase histories from industry. Visitors from industry will be joiningsome lectures. The session project is the preparation of a completeBusiness Plan by each student.

Everyone from the media to government is talking about entre-preneurial activities as the engine of the Canadian economy. The


119


age of enterprise has arrived and those with the entrepreneurialspirit, the drive to create wealth and the persistency required tomake a difference to their own companies are the winners. Ourexperience shows that the most successful people in these activi-ties will be those who have the "entrepreneurial" spirit, the driveto create wealth and the persistency required to make a differenceto their own companies. Entrepreneurs are in control of their ownlives, they structure their own progress and are accountable fortheir own success and engineers are the most capable people toprosper in the global economy. Large and medium sized corpo-rations now search for the intrapreneur (an entrepreneurial indi-vidual who prefers to work inside a larger firm rather than to startor manage their own) who will lead them to success in the future.

This course is intended to give the students an understand-ing of small business enterprises and to introduce the skills need-ed to run one. We will cover how to launch a new firm, its techni-cal, economic, legal, HR, marketing & sales and financial aspectstogether with case histories from industry. Visitors from industrywill be joining some lectures. The session project is the preparationof a complete Business Plan by each student. The course has threehours of lectures and a Tutorial, which will be used to bring in reallife entrepreneurs as visitors. There will be lots of real activitiesfrom smaller projects to the major deliverable - a genuine andcomplete Business Plan created for your real or imaginary compa-ny.

MIE488H1 FEntrepreneurship and Business for Engineers

III-AEINDBASC, IV-AEMECBASC, AEMECBASCF, AEMECBASCT, AEINDBASC, AEINDBASCI (elective)Complementary Studies Elective 3/-/1/0.50

Everyone from the media to government is talking about entre-preneurial activities as the engine of the Canadian economy. Theage of enterprise has arrived and those with the entrepreneurialspirit, the drive to create wealth and the persistency required tomake a difference to their own companies are the winners. Ourexperience shows that the most successful people in these activi-ties will be those who have the "entrepreneurial" spirit, the driveto create wealth and the persistency required to make a differenceto their own companies. Entrepreneurs are in control of their ownlives, they structure their own progress and are accountable fortheir own success and engineers are the most capable people toprosper in the global economy. Large and medium sized corpo-rations now search for the intrapreneur (an entrepreneurial indi-vidual who prefers to work inside a larger firm rather than to startor manage their own) who will lead them to success in the future.

This course is intended to give the students an understand-ing of small business enterprises and to introduce the skills need-ed to run one. We will cover how to launch a new firm, its tech-nical, economic, legal, HR, marketing & sales and financialaspects together with case histories from industry. Visitors fromindustry will be joining some lectures. The session project is thepreparation of a complete Business Plan by each student. Thecourse has three hours of lectures and a Tutorial, which will beused to bring in real life entrepreneurs as visitors. There will belots of real activities from smaller projects to the major deliverable- a genuine and complete Business Plan created for your real orimaginary company. (These are parallel course offered withessentially the same content: CHE488, CIV488, ECE488, MIE488andMSE488 and some are offered in each term). Instructorapproval to enrol is required.

IV - AEMMSBASC (elective) 3/-/1/0.50Complementary Studies Elective

Everyone from the media to government is talking about entre-preneurial activities as the engine of the Canadian economy. Theage of enterprise has arrived and those with the entrepreneurialspirit, the drive to create wealth and the persistency required tomake a difference to their own companies are the winners. Ourexperience shows that the most successful people in these activi-ties will be those who have the "entrepreneurial" spirit, the driveto create wealth and the persistency required to make a differenceto their own companies. Entrepreneurs are in control of their ownlives, they structure their own progress and are accountable fortheir own success and engineers are the most capable people toprosper in the global economy. Large and medium sized corpo-rations now search for the intrapreneur (an entrepreneurial indi-vidual who prefers to work inside a larger firm rather than to startor manage their own) who will lead them to success in the future.

This course is intended to give the students an understand-ing of small business enterprises and to introduce the skills need-ed to run one. We will cover how to launch a new firm, its tech-nical, economic, legal, HR, marketing & sales and financialaspects together with case histories from industry. Visitors fromindustry will be joining some lectures. The session project is thepreparation of a complete Business Plan by each student. Thecourse has three hours of lectures and a Tutorial, which will beused to bring in real life entrepreneurs as visitors.
