Entrepreneurs in Action!: A Team Development Process‪.‬

ABSTRACT This paper describes a multi-disciplinary approach to teaching entrepreneurship to a diverse group of students, i.e. Engineering and Human and Organizational Development students. The paper reports on the curriculum process used with these diverse groups of students and how teaming was developed. Results of how the teams developed along with descriptive statistics are used to describe the process. This process is designed to teach students how to dream about new ideas and how to take new business ventures to the market place. A rubric was developed and the following four subscales were used to describe the process: 1) Name of Group, 2) Creativity Activity, 3) Business Plan and 4) Ideas to Marketplace. Taking ideas from the classroom to the market place is an important part of this research.
