3 Roundtable on Entrepreneurship Education - Program Highlights - 203 undergraduate students, representing 20 majors are working in 34 cross disciplinary teams with 18 faculty advisors and 22 industry sponsors. We currently have 4 student entrepreneurial teams with both undergraduate and graduate student members. The graduate programs include independent programs in the colleges of engineering, business, arts & science and education. The MBA program offers a Ventures Series and the IPD graduate courses in Engineering focus on new product development with a globally dispersed team.

5 Roundtable on Entrepreneurship Education - Program Highlights - Faculty attitudes encompass 9 of IPD’s Top 10 Challenges 10. Faculty must be a "guide on the side" not a "sage on the stage" 9. Faculty must encourage student ownership of projects 8. Faculty must stop spoon feeding information & start developing knowledge and wisdom through experiences – empowering for success 7. Faculty must demand rigorous attention to details and due diligence 6. Faculty must respect and engage the talent and skills of other disciplines, outside experts and successful alumni 5. Faculty must seek collaborations, change and risk 4. Faculty must learn from and share lessons learned from failures 3. Faculty must not be problem solvers but opportunity seekers 2. Faculty must model creative, innovative and entrepreneurial behaviors And the number 1 challenge for IPD is: The silo based administrative structures that are unresponsive to cross disciplinary programs; we need a dean for interdisciplinary programs with appropriate funding.
