root of entrepreneurship, whether in emerging or existing enterprises, as “Managing Discovery for Wealth Creation.” ‚ Entrepreneurship is widely recognized as an academic field in its own right, with a huge research literature that spans, inter alia, organizational management, technology management, engineering management, economics, finance and marketing. The American Academy of Management has an entire division devoted to entrepreneurship. The American Society of Engineering Education does too. Babson College has become the leading undergraduate business program in the nation by focusing on an integrated curricular approach to entrepreneurship. The large number of existing educational

Future assessment will likely be based on experiments using the software itselfto do pre- and post-testing, to allow a consistent measurement of student learning under differentexperimental conditions within the software environment.4.

COMPASS enrolled studentsin three cohorts over three years, beginning in Fall 2014. The goal was for 100% of scholars togo on to graduate school or STEM careers within six years.

It is thehope of the first author (EFB) that we can acquire additional examples of successful collaborativeprograms. By gathering a large sample of such programs, we can assist our Navy colleagues inidentifying the features which such programs have in common. From this baseline, we can defineplans for a National approach to future collaborative programs.

This finding suggests that the top priorities AMleadership identifies are also perceived as a considerable challenge to accomplish. From ourinterviews, we learned that the programs had all been founded for a range of locally-drivenreasons and included different stakeholders in their planning processes. All of the programleaders were challenged by building and maintaining appropriate credentialed and qualifiedfaculty, and as a result, struggled with small faculties who were expected to cover large numbersof courses and duties

The firstassessment was done early enough in the quarter to determine if any team wasdysfunctional, thereby giving the instructor's time to provide intervention, if needed. Theassessment also helped track individual member's performance and was particularlyuseful to determine if any team member was working below the team's expectations. Thefinal assessment was also used to assign small shifts in grade depending upon if amember excelled or was deficient in the opinions of their teammates.
