This case study illustrates a module taught in the Business School at the University of Nottingham. The approach taken is experiential and the main aim of the module is to give students an appreciation and understanding of the issues involved in the commercial exploitation of scientific and technological discoveries.
This is one of a series of case studies on the teaching of entrepreneurship within HE institutions. It was commissioned by the Engineering Subject Centre as part of its project funded by the DfES in 2004-05 to develop resources to support the teaching of entrepreneurship in engineering programmes. The aim of the project was to build an understanding of the skills which will help to foster entrepreneurship and to identify and disseminate examples of good practice in the teaching of entrepreneurship for the benefit of the engineering community.
