Entrepreneurship is not just the focus of one discipline. Entrepreneurship brings together all sorts of different people with different goals and different focuses. It is in the ability to collaborate that the best ideas are able to go from concept to prototype to market. On the path to entrepreneurship there are strengths and there are weaknesses. People will inevitably be drawn to what they are interested in and the other needs for success will be left to suffer. Collaboration allows for interdisciplinary peer-to-peer communication. At a university level students are in a unique situation to foster the collaboration that may be lacking in a campus ecosystem. According to University Fellow Elliot Roth, “Students are the only ones who can work fast and actively break down university silos to create new opportunities. Teams are the most important part of this. A team without an acting designer, engineer, AND business person is already a failure. Seek out other niche groups on campus that fulfill that need.” This how to guide will give some valuable information on how to bring together artists with engineers to foster an entrepreneurial spirit through collaboration.
