TECHNOLOGY ENTREPRENEURSHIP @ SFU: EXPERIENTIAL, INTERDISCIPLINARY LEARNING THROUGH AN IMMERSIVE TWO-YEAR PROGRAM
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This paper provides an overview of experiences to date in developing and delivering the Technology Entrepreneurship @ SFU program - an interdisciplinary program in which Mechatronic Systems Engineering and Business students at Simon Fraser University collaborate on market-driven, entrepreneurial initiatives that simultaneously satisfy their respectivecapstone project requirements. The paper includes a discussion of program scope and objectives, design, implementation and revisions. The role of the program in providing experiential, interdisciplinary learning for Engineering and Business students through an immersive experience is discussed. Qualitative and quantitative program results to date are reviewed, with program enrollment and completion trends, course evaluation data and key stakeholder metrics indicating a level of successin: (1) creating an interdisciplinary, entrepreneurial culture amongst the students, (2) preparing students for future career paths that may include entrepreneurship and (3) potential further commercialization of prototypesdeveloped in the Technology Entrepreneurship program. Longer-term measures of success are also considered and discussed in light of the experiences to date.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
