Introduction to Global Entrepreneurship
3credit (Spring&Fall)
This is the first course one should take if one wants to learn entrepreneurship as the major or minor, or learn as a back-ground information. Even if one does not start a business, entrepreneurship mindset is the most important asset that helps one to attain his/her life goal. So, this class is not just about starting a new company although the basic knowledge and the mechanics of starting a new company is learned while doing the group project. Entrepreneurship experience can be your life-changing experience for you as many students testified and as I experienced myself in my early years. This course is mostly based on the instructor's own personal experience while working as dept. head at Bell Labs and starting 3 new start-up companies in the US in his life that is not covered in any text books available. It is recommended that students take this course as early as one can since the mindset one would acquire in this course will help the students greatly while taking other courses and learn during his/her undergraduate life This course is a compulsory and the first course in the entrepreneurship major (GE track) that a GE-major student should take. first. It is also a background course that students majoring in other majors who are interested in entrepreneurship. The course is intended to show the students the overall Global Entrepreneurship (GE) track curriculum in a bird’s eye view to enable the students to navigate and select and take necessary courses later throughout the GE program among the triad of the tracks offered in GE that consist of business, law, and technology disciplines, and integrate the subjects learned in-depth from the three tracks into an integrated knowledge without a wall among them for the inter-disciplinary education. The main purpose of the course is introducing the students to the concept of entrepreneurship and its mindset, and allow them a chance to experience the entrepreneurship as well as the basics of starting a new business. This course is categorized as the basic foundation course applicable for all tracks for the School of Global Entrepreneurship and ICT (GEI). The main purpose is to let the students learn the true meanings of the entrepreneurship mindset and experience it and change to an entrepreneur. it also shows students how to channel the spirit to develop an idea into a gainful business and found and run a company for profit in a comprehensive view based on integrated knowledge in business, law, and technology disciplines.

ICT Application Development
3credit (Spring)
In our daily life, we use various applications based on Information and Communication Technology(ICT). We use a personal computer and mobile devices to process data, earn information, control other devices. As a user of the application, we prefer an application which has a beautiful user interface, performs quick response, and well-organized information structure. A high programming skill does not guarantee the success of an application. The primary objective of this lecture is to learn how to build useful applications that the user may love. In this course, students will develop various kinds of applications on various platforms, such as Windows, Mac OSX, iOS, and Androids. Unfortunately, to do so, the student should learn an individual programming language to deploy their applications. To overcome the problem, students will develop an application on the particular development environment which can develop a cross-platform application. Which means that if a student develops an application using a particular programming language, the development platform generates an application on the various platform automatically.
