Program on Technology Commercialization
How can we most efficiently move technology from the academic laboratory to product and market? The revised Program on Technology Commercialization (PTC) course sequence is designed to provide students with the fundamentals surrounding this process and suggest how we can most efficiently do this translational process.
Spring Quarter’s Introductory Course (BioE 504 / ENGR 498A – Wednesdays & Fridays, 3:30-5:20pm, Guggenheim 220) will feature outstanding guest lecturers from the local entrepreneurial community sharing knowledge, expertise, and personal experiences as they relate to topics such as:
All lectures are open to the entire CoE community. Please join us this Wednesday and Friday (4/6/11 and 4/8/11) as we learn about Intellectual Property from Ben Dugan. Ben is a CSE alum and a practicing patent lawyer at Black Lowe & Graham in Seattle (http://www.blgip.com/attorneys/ben_dugan).
Rather than continuously spam you, please reply to Amy Popp (poppa2@u.washington.edu) if you would like to be added to the distribution list announcing speakers for the rest of the quarter. We will send weekly announcements detailing the speakers for that week.
Thanks,

Tuesday morning for to meet with any students or faculty who’d like to
talk to him.
Wayne is a REALLY good guy with a lot of experience, and I encourage

Please note that the 2011-2012 course schedule is still tentative, but here is our best guestimate of what will be offered next year and when. Things can always change, but hopefully this will help some of you with planning your future schedules. There have been some changes from previous years, so please take a careful look at the web page below.
http://www.cs.washington.edu/education/time-sched/
Also note that CSE 344 is a new prerequisite for next spring’s offering of CSE 444. So if you want to take 444 next spring, you need 344 this spring, fall, or winter.
This summer, CSE 421 will be the 400 level course that will be offered, and it will only be offered once during the regular academic year.

From The New York Times:
Silicon Valley Hiring Perks: Meals, iPads and a Cubicle for Spot
Companies, particularly start-ups, are offering an array of perks — including lessons in entrepreneurship — to lure whiz kid engineers.

I want to be sure everyone is aware of this course:
http://www.cs.washington.edu/education/courses/cse490t/11sp/
Ben Dugan was a CSE graduate student — super-smart, and a phenomenal
teacher (he did our intro course a few times).
He abandoned our graduate program and got a law degree.
He’s practicing with a major Seattle IP law firm.
Ben is very smart, a great teacher, and equally knowledgeable about
engineering and law. This should be a really excellent course.
