Core courses:

• INDENG 190G (2 units) Intro to Technopreneurship & Silicon Valley - This orientation class is exclusive to Startup Semester Students. It will provide an overview of Silicon Valley business culture and a survey of topics uniquely related to the creation of new technology ventures. The format will include lectures, workshops and interaction with the Berkeley startup ecosystem.

• INDENG 95 (1 unit) Newton Lecture Series - This lecture series recognizes the entrepreneurial vision of A. Richard Newton, Dean of UC Berkeley’s College of Engineering from 2000 to 2007, by inviting distinguished innovators to share lessons from their own successes and failures.

• INDENG 185 (4 units) Challenge Lab - In a competition-based format, students work in cross-discipline lean start-up teams vying to create innovative products. Teams will navigate realistic weekly challenges introduced through case studies. They will understand real-world constraints, use rapid iterative build, and validate development methods. Through frequent interaction with the sponsors and mentors, student teams will develop a working prototype and a formal presentation.
