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.
