Overview
Join the Design Thinking and Global Startup course offered by the University of California, Santa Cruz on Coursera. This comprehensive course introduces you to a systematic engineering design methodology, specifically Stanford Design Thinking, ideal for preparing a global startup.
The course covers the entire Stanford Design Thinking process:
Empathy-Define-Ideation-Prototype-Test, emphasizing building a startup with a business model centered on genuine customer needs.
You'll dive deep into the lean "Prototype and Test" stages, exploring innovative manufacturing methodologies using cutting-edge 4th Industrial Revolution technology such as FaaS (Factory as a Service), Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, and 3D Printing.
As a capstone achievement, students will create critical startup tools including a one-liner, lean canvas, and a global IR (investor relations) pitch deck, setting a solid foundation for becoming an innovative startup founder. Although the lectures are designed to be self-contained, students may benefit from referring to resources like The Lean Startup by E.
Ries, Selling for Dummies by T. Hopkins, and The Mechanical Design Process by D.G.
Ullman.
