The implications of assuming leadership are vast - vision, exertion, generosity, intelligence, precision, responsibility, compassion. Furthermore, to lead cannot mean to ignore the complex reality we live in as a society: Inequity, social disparities, structural racism and discrimination are not undesired mistakes, but structural aspects of the world we live in. In other words, the way our society defines what is \"leadership\" and \"who should lead\" has the power to perpetuate, or for the same matter, dismantle these issues. Our collective inquiry and discussion will inevitably deal with this pressing reality. A group of global art leaders, activists and entrepreneurs from across the globe will join the forum to illustrate, enrich and guide this discussion. The \"Art Leaders Forum\" is a co-creation process in need of every voice and every view that engages in it. Tourism is not an option here: taking part in the forum clearly demands something of each of us - to fully listen and to dare to be heard; to be seen and to see others and their reality. To support and enhance such demanding work the course will introduce notions of mindfulness, entrepreneurship, active listening, embodiment and non-violent communication, at the time that will study and explore different models of leadership, activism, community and social impact in the arts.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/aside><aside class=\"cf-course\">\n\t<div class=\"cf-course-card\">\n\t\t<h3 class=\"cf-course-title\"><span class=\"cf-course-id\"><span class=\"cf-course-college\">CFA<\/span> <span class=\"cf-course-dept\">FA<\/span> <span class=\"cf-course-number\">520<\/span><\/span> Career Development in the Arts<\/h3>\n\t\t<p class=\"meta cf-course-info\"><span class=\"cf-course-credits\">4 credits.<\/span> <span class=\"cf-course-offered\">Fall and Spring<\/span> <span class=\"cf-course-prereqs\"><\/span><\/p>\n        <div class=\"cf-hub-ind\">  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bu.edu\/hub\/what-is-the-hub\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"cf-hub-head\" alt=\"BU Hub\">    <span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"bu-hub-iconstyles icon-buhub\">BU Hub<\/span>  <\/a>  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bu.edu\/hub\/what-is-the-hub\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"hub-head\">    <span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"bu-hub-iconstyles icon-questionmark\">Learn More<\/span>  <\/a>  <ul class=\"cf-hub-offerings\"><li class=\"cf-hub-area-N\">Oral and\/or Signed Communication<\/li><li class=\"cf-hub-area-G\">Quantitative Reasoning I<\/li>  <\/ul><\/div>\n\t\t<p class=\"cf-course-description\">A blend of self-exploration and business skills that encourages arts leaders to \"think like an entrepreneur\" in defining their career and personal brand.

Students will first make use of creativity tools to attack posed engineering problems, then turn to means for protecting their solutions. Rapidly growing areas that are affecting nearly all businesses (e.g., software and the internet) as well as \"high-tech\" areas including microelectronics, communications, and bioengineering will be emphasized. Extensive patent searches and analysis will be carried out to develop skills for quickly ascertaining the protected technical content of patents, and for recognizing what intellectual property (IP) should be and can be protected. Legal aspects for protecting creative ideas will be studied at a level appropriate for engineers to interact easily and smoothly during their technical careers with IP lawyers. Various business models for the commercialization of intellectual assets will be analyzed. Extensive class exercises and projects will explore in depth all three of these important areas of IP, with emphasis on key contributions during engineering and scientific research and development activities. <\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/aside><aside class=\"cf-course\">\n\t<div class=\"cf-course-card\">\n\t\t<h3 class=\"cf-course-title\"><span class=\"cf-course-id\"><span class=\"cf-course-college\">ENG<\/span> <span class=\"cf-course-dept\">ME<\/span> <span class=\"cf-course-number\">525<\/span><\/span> Technology Ventures<\/h3>\n\t\t<p class=\"meta cf-course-info\"><span class=\"cf-course-credits\">4 credits.<\/span> <span class=\"cf-course-offered\">Fall and Spring<\/span> <span class=\"cf-course-prereqs\"><\/span><\/p>\n        \n\t\t<p class=\"cf-course-description\">Undergraduate Prerequisites: Senior or graduate standing in an engineering or science discipline, o r consent of instructor. - An introduction to the formation and management of technology-based enterprises for engineers and scientists.
