engineering student participants developed their technology deliverables (product design specifications, concepts, detail designs, and prototypes) in parallel with, and frequently independent of, the business team’s market research. In other words, design work was completed prior to establishing market requirements. This issue inhibited meaningful exchange of ideas and unnecessarily limited team interdependency. 2. In cases where the technology was discovered to have limited market feasibility (crowded market space, high cost of entry, or small market), the business team tended to disband, while engineering team was stuck with the project since they were enrolled in a 2-semester course. 3.
