].For the fourth approach, a center for entrepreneurship can exist at many universities for studentsto gain EML outside of the classroom [7, 8]. However, this requires students to invest time inextracurricular activities outside the classroom. Thus, this can be an obstacle to many engineeringstudents, including those with a rigorous coursework load and/or personal and financialobligations. Thus, it will not be a practical option for many students.A fifth approach for students is to enroll in entrepreneurship-focused minors and advanceddegrees, which now exist at several universities. However, this also requires students to spendadditional time, money, and resources to enroll in such programs outside of their engineeringdegree of interest.For

This study aimed to determinewhether participating in the interdisciplinary project affected students’ evaluation of their ownand their teammates’ teamwork effectiveness skills, measured using the Behaviorally AnchoredRating Scale (BARS) version of the Comprehensive Assessment of Team Member Effectiveness(CATME).

For three lecture sessions, a mock factory station is erected in the style ofpopular escape rooms, simulating the scene of an equipment failure. Students complete an initialassessment of the equipment’s expected service based on a brief dossier. Small “investigationteams” are formed and granted timed access to explore the scene, collect clues, and note sitesafety violations. Next, students think critically about the circumstances, machinery, and humanelements to compose an evidence-supported theory that identifies why the part failed and who isultimately culpable. Findings are presented to the class, and the teams compete
