Bachelor of Innovation degree In the true spirit of American ingenuity, the University of Colorado has announced it will be offering Bachelor of Innovation degrees. http://education.zdnet.com/?p=683&tag=nl.e550
Bachelor of Innovation. Hmmm. Maybe there is little left for the American engineer. Companies don't want the American engineer's engineering skills. They are too expensive. What companies want is an engineer to manage cheap foreign labor. Companies, also, don't want to pay for an MBA because that's just not cheap enough now. Now comes a Bachelor of Innovation. Essentially, it sounds like an engineer with a business minor.
Their site does specifically say it's not a degree with a business minor. Not exactly. It's more like a degree with a business minor, with an in-class internship.
It says, I kid you not, "Bachelor of Innovation™" "™"?! What an irony. It's exactly this sort of intellectual property abuse that's stifling innovation. -=Steve=-
