In engineering, in particular, theyneed opportunities to have ownership over the design problem; although posed by a customer orclient, design problems are framed by the designer [23], leading to a sense of agency [24] andownership [25].Interest can drive a sense of ownership over learning [26], which in turn can foster a mastery-oriented stance on learning [27] and help students make decisions about their futures [28].

A modified version of the Business Model Canvas (BMC)[1] is employed to document the emergent activities of innovation driven, self-formed facultygroups over time. The Business Model Canvas is an organizational tool for capturing andcommunicating the critical elements of an evolving project’s ecosystem. Borrowed fromentrepreneurship practices, it is used to identify the necessary
