If you want to know about entrepreneurship development in Poly/Tandon - an engineering school, you won't want to miss this website. If you are a beginner of entrepreneurship, this would be a great resource for you to explore. If you think this is going to be a Tandon entrepreneurship programs introduction or even a promotional website, you are all wet. Let's take a look at my personal story first, perhaps you also have the same curiosity, or even a similar experience.

My name is Cory, now a junior student majoring in Maths. Actually, I am a student who is very interested in both entrepreneurship and technology. I am keen on all kinds of technology, and having my own startup, at the same time learning management skills. That's why I chose Business and Technology Management as my major when I was enrolled in NYU’s engineering school - Tandon in 2019 Fall. When I applied for this major, I wondered why the major is set up in the engineering school instead of in the business school? The website told me "The BTM degree will provide you with a relevant professional management education and effective approaches related to technology, entrepreneurship, managing professionals and information."

However, things went contrary to my wishes, I found that the curriculum was not what I desired after my first two years of school, and I found rare entrepreneurship atmosphere around me. I decided to change my major then. I don't know if this is a wrong decision, but I think it's an amazing opportunity for me and TANDONers like me to explore and have a more comprehensive understanding about why and how entrepreneurship was developed in Poly/Tandon.

In this website, let's explore:

• What is entrepreneurship?
• How entrepreneurship is defined within engineering schools?
• How and why Poly/Tandon positioning entrepreneurship over time by marketing and setting up various entrepreneurship initiatives?
• What are the effective effects of the school on students and faculties over time towards entrepreneurship?
• How these changes coincide (or run counter to) the specific economic or political realities that the entrepreneurs of Poly/Tandon are working within?
