Larry Chiang helps engineers graduate with street-smarts. What they don’t teach in b-school they now do teach in engineering schools and via the Bloomberg BusinessWeek’s channel \u201cWhat They Don\u2019t Teach You at Business School\u201d. He holds a JBA (Jedi in Business Administration). After Chiang\u2019s Harvard Law keynote, Harvard Business wrote: \u201cWhat They Don\u2019t Teach You at Stanford Business School<\/a>\u201c (the same title as his NY Times bestseller). If you read his scandalously awesome “How to Hack at AfterParty<\/a>“, \u201cWhat a Supermodel Can Teach a Stanford MBA<\/a>\u201d and \u201cHow to Get Man-Charm<\/a>\u201d, you will like his latest post:<\/p>\n

I argue that teaching cs majors to be CEOs is easier than teaching CEOs cs skills. Stanford ENGR\u00a0145 is a legendary experience where cs majors, engineers and those in the MS&E program GET STREET SMART. Here is how:<\/p>\n

– 1 – Create a lemonade stand business like HotorNot or ICanHazCheezburger
\n-2- \u00a05-10 ideas -> tangible, tactical, entrepreneurial execution<\/p>\n

Stanford ENGR 145 class broke into teams that founded companies<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

-3- Pitching \/ feedback swap
