This BEAST (Business, Engineering, Applied Science and Technology), like the mythical Cerberus, has three heads.\u00a0 (I can\u2019t take credit for this acronym I\u2019m stealing it from someone, I don\u2019t remember who.)\u00a0One head is government policy that invests too narrowly in STEM and fails to understand the role that business thinking plays in evaluating the marketability of new ideas and successfully bringing them to market.\u00a0 The second head is the silos that separate the disciplines in universities that hamper dialogue and discourages risky collaboration. The third head is the human desire to stay safely in your comfort zone and only talk and work with people who are similar to you.\u00a0 To slay the beast and reap the benefits of economic dynamism and diversification through investment in higher education, you need to cut off all three heads.<\/p>\n<p>It can be done. I experienced the returns to such an enterprise first-hand when I was at UNLV.\u00a0 Rama Venkat, who is the dean of Engineering, had run a senior design competition for almost a decade.\u00a0 Rama is an entrepreneur masquerading as a dean of Engineering.\u00a0 But despite his passion, none of the projects from the senior design competition had ever seen the market.\u00a0 One day over lunch, Rama and I decided it was time to pair those engineering students with some business students who would help them understand market opportunities and how to build products the market wanted.\u00a0 The result: In the first year, two of those projects formed LLCs.\u00a0 In year two, three teams created LLCs and drew the interest of venture capitalists and wealthy donors.\u00a0 This is another benefit of slaying the BEAST: it will attract private investment and lead to the best kind of public-private partnerships.<\/p>\n<p>I saw a glimmer of this at UCF this week when I visited the Florida Interactive Entertainment Academy\u2019s student project presentations.\u00a0 There I saw right brain and left brain people (artists, programmers and production people), working together to create video games that didn\u2019t just kill deformed hyenas, but taught vocabulary and in one extraordinary instance made most of the people in the room cry.\u00a0 Industry people served as judges and the commercial potential of the projects went far beyond GameStop.\u00a0 I venture to guess that teaming those aspiring gamers with some business students (and maybe some from psychology too) would produce amazing economic results in short order.\u00a0 The good news is that Knights have been slaying beasts for centuries.\u00a0 Next to rescuing fair maidens, it is what they do best. Just saying\u2026.<\/p>\n<p><em>Paul Jarley, Ph.D., is the dean of the UCF College of Business Administration.
