Resource talk:How to bring together Artists with Engineers and their STEM peers

Engineering and art are far different as east is from west but are similar in many ways. Engineering at its grass root level involves coming up with a design that solves a problem of improves an existing solution. The process of coming up with something in itself is an art. You may say that engineering is art backed with a lot of science and math. In light of this, it is amazing to see that artists and engineers are coming together to work on finding a business niche is hopes of successful entrepreneurship. In my opinion this is a powerhouse collaboration as artistic and engineering ideas work perfectly together for the common good.

On interdisciplinary collaboration

I love this model for creating a space for interdisciplinary collaboration. I would love to do something similar to this at my school but have a group whose innovations would benefit the local community outside of my University. I think encouraging University entrepreneurial efforts to tackle community issues is a great experience for students.

This idea of involving all the disciplines from the root level is brilliant rather than just engineers developing the prototype if we involve our entire team will result in a better outcome and growth of individuals and organizations.
