Online Graduate Certificate in Engineering in Technology Ventures and Innovation

The Clark School announces a new four course Graduate Certificate in Engineering (GCEN) program in Technology Ventures and Innovation.

Drawing on the strengths of the Maryland Technology Enterprise Institute (Mtech) in creating successful technology ventures and connecting Maryland companies with university resources, we have created a graduate certificate in engineering program to educate the next generation of technology entrepreneurs. In fact, many of the technologists that have been exposed to our technology venturing and innovation best practices have already become successful entrepreneurs, either with independent startup companies or through new ventures within existing companies.

The GCEN program in entrepreneurial practices and tactics has been developed specifically for professionals interested in the process and procedures for technology advancement. While this program is primarily for technologists, you do not need to be an engineer or have an undergraduate degree in engineering to pursue this program. Interested parties with a bachelor's degree in another academic area and a strong desire to succeed in a technology venture are encouraged to apply.

At Mtech and the Clark School of Engineering, we believe that a firm grasp of the entrepreneurial process benefits every person engaged in developing technology. Our goal is to infuse technology-creating students, faculty members and professionals with that knowledge and its accompanying skills. Armed with an entrepreneurial mind-set, technology creators will drive our nation's economic growth by launching successful ventures and bringing life-changing products and services to market.
