The project aims to demonstrate a new paradigm for development that is rooted in education. The effort will focus on design and delivery of new curriculum for collaborative, interdisciplinary product development. To demonstrate the curriculum, the effort will launch cross-cultural student teams to identify and develop markets, partners, and technology for entrepreneurial ventures in Nicaragua, utilizing Nicaraguan materials and skills. The envisioned long term goal is local economic empowerment and a sound, collaborative process for technology innovation and product development that is both replicable and transferable.</style></abstract><doi><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10.1109/FIE.2007.4418038</style></doi><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Compilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2009 Elsevier Inc.20083511489853Collaborative processingCross-cultural collaborationCurriculum developmentEconomic empowermentEntrepreneurshipLong termNicaraguaStudent teamsTechnology entrepreneurshipTechnology innovationsTwo phasesUnited StatesWork-in-progress</style></notes></record></records></xml>
