The goal of the technology entrepreneurship certificate program is to provide Yale College Engineering students with training at the interface of engineering and technology development, with an emphasis on translating technical ideas into practical applications.
The certificate advisory committee has the following membership:
- Rajit Manohar (Certificate Director), Electrical & Computer Engineering
- Anjelica Gonzales, Biomedical Engineering
- Kathryn Miller-Jensen, Biomedical Engineering
- Julie Dorsey, Computer Science
- Robert Soulé, Computer Science
A requirement for the program is the completion of three experiential units. The list of options that satisfy this requirement are below. This is a dynamic list, and the certificate advisory committee will update this list as new opportunities become available.
- An internship in an entrepreneurial group (startup company, non-profit, or innovation group within a large organization): 3 units if it is a multi-month internship
- Participation in the semester-long Hillhouse Fellows program: 3 units
- Attending the Engineering Dean’s Speaker Series: 1 unit per two speakers
- Participation in the Tsai City Accelerator: 3 units
