Courses in Engineering Innovation Institute

Hello students,  

I hope this email finds you well. With the new semester about to kick off, we are excited to share exciting opportunities to enhance one’s engineering skills and explore new horizons in the world of innovation. The Engineering Innovation Institute offers three courses designed to cultivate the attributes of a true Gator Engineer in a dynamic and multidisciplinary environment. These courses are available at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. To maintain the goals of the courses and a multidisciplinary environment, these courses have different methods to enroll which are included below.  

1. EGS 4100/6100- Divergent Thinking 

This course introduces engineering students to concepts of multiple forms of intelligence, divergent thinking, and engineering Grand Challenges. Using lectures, in-class exercises, and out-of-class experiences, the course helps students cultivate multiple forms of intelligence and develop divergent thinking skills. Students apply skills gained to develop an innovative solution to an Engineering Grand Challenge.  

Interested students in divergent thinking:  This course requires students to complete an application for consideration to be enrolled in the course. Divergent Thinking Fall 2023 Application 

2. EGN 4643/6642- Engineering Innovation 

This course introduces engineering students to the concepts of innovative thinking and innovative practices. The course teaches life skills in innovative thought and action using lectures, case studies, team exercises, and guest speakers. Students apply lessons learned in creating successful careers ranging from starting companies to leading large companies. 

3. EGN 4641/6640- Engineering Entrepreneurship 

This course introduces engineering students to entrepreneurial thinking and entrepreneurship concepts and practices. Using lectures, case studies, business plans, and student presentations, the course teaches life skills in entrepreneurial thought and action that students apply in starting companies or driving innovative, cutting-edge projects in large companies. 

Interested students in taking innovation and/or entrepreneurship:   For graduate students or those wanting to take the graduate version of the courses, please email the instructor of the course to be enrolled. Enrollment at the graduate level may not be guaranteed for those in the CISE department as the quota for the class for that major is full. All other disciplines can be enrolled in the courses space permitting. Undergraduate students who are able to enroll through one.uf may do so on their own. For undergraduate students unable to enroll through one.uf (i.e. those below junior standing), please email the instructor of the course and your enrollment can be arranged space permitting. The instructor emails are below. Be sure to specify the section you wish to enroll, your major, and your UFID in the email.  

If you're ready to take your engineering journey to the next level, we encourage you to enroll for one of our courses. To learn more about each course and certificates that these courses can be applied, please visit https://www.eng.ufl.edu/innovation/academic-programs/courses/. Don't miss out on this chance to expand your skill set and contribute to groundbreaking innovations. 

Should you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to any instructor listed above. We look forward to welcoming you to the Engineering Innovation Institute and helping you shape a successful and impactful engineering career. 

 

Best regards,
