Teaching Content	The lecture Entrepreneurship offers the theoretical basis regarding principles for opportunity recognition and business modeling, entrepreneurial marketing and leadership, customer-based design methods. In addition, practical experiences of successful founders support the theoretical content. The seminar Entrepreneurship Project and the Innovation Lab aim at applying the theoretical concepts in practical oriented situations. In the Innovation Lab the students get the opportunity to create and realize their own innovations. In a team of five they will experience their way from the ideation process over the implementation of hardware and software to the pitch in front of investors. The students can choose from one of the following labs: Automation Innovation Lab (drones for cooperative swarm solutions), Industry 4.0 Lab (mobile robots for innovations in the realm of the next industrial revolution), Interconnected Intelligent Systems Lab (assisted living and smart house solutions). The seminar convoys the lab and supports the teams by presenting reflection techniques, agile system development (Scrum), among other things. Further information can be found on the above-mentioned homepage as well as in the module handbook.
