Students admitted to the program are competitively selected for their academic and other achievements. B-E-T courses are designed with industry in mind, preparing students to work in technology-intensive firms by training them in business skills necessary for developing business plans, including market research, marketing, accounting and production management; as well as technical skills such as intellectual property evaluation, patent search, and engineering analysis of products and components.
