STANFORD, CALIFORNIA —

There are more than 100 entrepreneurship courses at Stanford University. But only one involves students running into the ocean fully dressed or donning explosives device uniforms.

In the Hacking for Defense class, students tackle problems facing troops and defense agencies. They are expected to go out in the field to understand what it is like to be a soldier struggling with mapping technology or a returning veteran dealing with multiple injuries.

“They work on some of the toughest real world problems they are ever going to see," said Steve Blank, one of the class instructors.
