<b>i-Teams</b> (“Innovation Teams”, course 10.807/15.371) is a graduate course offered jointly between the Schools of Engineering and Management. Students choose from a set of breakthrough technologies selected by the Class Faculty from MIT labs on the basis
of their excitement and commercial potential. Working in cross-disciplinary i-Teams of 3-5 class peers plus an industry “catalyst”, students focus throughout the semester on exploring a commercialization strategy for their technology and developing a final
recommendation for the next steps and the best vehicle to bring the project to impact (e.g. startup, license, NGO).<o:p></o:p></div>
