DRAFT				DRAFT				DRAFT

n.b.:  on first reading, some of the courses listed and discussed below
may not appear to have any relationship to the subject of doing high-tech
start-ups at mit, or elsewhere, however many mit students and alum consider
the study of ethics, design, law, thinking and the history of the sciences
and technology to be of great relevance in their education and to have
wide-ranging usefulness in their ability to recognise a really good, useful,
do-able and fundable idea when they get one, or many, as is often the case.

recognition of such is also of inestimable worth when entertaining ideas
from friends, colleagues and potential team members during brainstorming
sessions when exploring many areas and a lot of ground in each.

the greater the breadth of understanding of such background subjects the
simpler the process of synthesizing new ideas and understanding what others
are talking about, or what they are trying to get at.  better understanding
leads, in turn, to easier development of mutual regard among people from
different disciplines who may find themselves working together for the first
time ... even if the work is just starting out at the networking phase.

in fact, in the mit entreprenuers club, aka: "the e-club", and in our various
seminars, workshops, conferences and retreats, good old-fasioned networking
can't be over-emphasised.  networking is what we're all about, and it's
what makes a start-up come together, get funded and launched.

by exploring such courses at mit, across departments and schools, students
meet other students, professors, alum and professionals they might never
otherwise have the opportunity to work with;  and they should make it a
point to share their own knowledge, friends, and contacts, as they build
their own networks, in the spirit of academic and professional networking.
