Establishing a university managed technology-basedbusiness incubator at a regional university requires a strategic vision that integrates theuniversities core competencies, academic and research missions, senior administration concerns,capital and building campaigns and economic development concerns of the surroundingcommunities. This paper proposes a conceptual framework for building the strategic vision,developing the necessary infrastructure and mitigating risks when establishing the incubator.

The MDL is the foundation for gauging students’ interest toward teamwork in thispaper. Further information on the MDL-based assessment framework is available in our earlierwork.3In this paper, our primary goal is to evaluate the feasibility and reliability of using interest as anadditional construct to track student development in teamwork KSA. We introduce severalquestionnaire items to measure students’ interest in teamwork. These questionnaire items canalso be used in a broader instrument for assessing teamwork KSA

Teams are formed by ranking students based onacademic performance and the grouping the top students in the first team, then the next groupingin the second team, and so on[3]. Teams can also be formed randomly, with student teams beingbuilt off random selection from the student list for the course[4]. Finally, teams can be formed byself-selection, in which students form their own teams without guidance from an instructor[5][4].It is important to understand the links between team performance and individualperformance/experience as well as design project success.

These meetings contain a broad array of topics, including studio design and delivery;effectiveness and assessment; and uniform delivery, formatting, and grading. One intention is toalign the design and delivery amongst classes and between classes. In this way, we hope to createa consistent expectation among students in a studio, lowering the cognitive demand that wouldbe used in interpreting different formats and allowing strong student focus. Such alignment alsoallows more coordinated and effective graduate student training. Another intention is to create alearning community
