Page 23.384.8firms/companies that have ‘backburner’ projects.VII. SummaryInnovation and entrepreneurship can change the mindset at a school that concentrates onengineering, engineering technology, computer science, architecture, design, and management,which are normally very siloed disciplines. Within only four weeks a program was built from theground up for the students, launched in a summer semester, and now it is beginning to changethe campus culture. Accelerate is a true startup within a college environment.The biggest reward, however, is the feedback from the students. Some mentioned that “itchanged their life”, “Accelerate altered my thinking forever”, and “it gave me the confidence toknow that I can launch my own business.” This is what

As a result of these changes, new patterns in student behavior started to emerge. Presenceof business students and senior advisors became a significant motivational factor.Interdisciplinary nature of the teams received natural boost, that eventually led to heightenedcreativity. Use of the Lean Startup methodology, which requires the participants continuouslyverify their design and market hypotheses, has also raised awareness among engineering studentsthat in their professional development they need to broaden their scope and add management,communication and entrepreneurial abilities to their skill
