It's interesting that this is inside of the computer science department and is limited to engineering students considering YC has really been expanding the companies it's accepting. E145[0], an existing and highly sought after technology entrepreneurship course, is just a general engineering class and isn't limited to traditional engineering majors, as far as I'm aware.
Tons of great founders of tech companies come from disciplines outside of engineering and manage to learn enough on their own. I would wonder if it's a function of keeping it from getting oversubscribed or possibly a way to allow the curriculum to be narrowly focused towards how to build a scalable software business.
Exciting stuff regardless!

- kogir 12y agoWhat makes you think that because it's inside the CS department it's limited to engineering students? At Stanford any student can register for nearly any class.
