I was extremely involved in FBLA in high school, and I was in PBL this year, but it was a virtual chapter out of Iowa)... I'd like to start one with actual people from rolla.
We only need 3 people and one adviser to get recognized by the national chapter.
I guess if we get 15 or more we're officially a UMR club...
hey...go for it! I'd help ya. I was involved majorly in FBLA, too. I was going to start a PBL at QU before I had left there so I still have the information packet if you need more stuff.
Just let me know...but I think it's a great idea.
Alright, looks like there is at least some support, thats great.
I'm going to talk to the Missouri PBL adviser, she had a list of a few people that might be at UMR that were interested in PBL.
Now the main question is, does anyone know any professor that wouldn't mind being an adviser? And is there any way we could get in contact with someone who could set us up with a professor who might be interested?
I think your best bet would be a professor in the EMan dept. or maybe IST. But an EMan professor would be better, methinks.

Yeah, EMAn, IST, or the School of Management and Information Systems...
Certainly someone in one of those areas wouldnt mind "advising". We wouldn't really need them, they'd just have to show up and grade papers for an hour every week or two while we held a meeting.
I had thought about starting PBL here, but I didn't think I would really have the time to get it started. I was a state officer in FBLA and would join PBL. I would also love to help getting things started if you need any help.
I'm thinking of having a startup meeting sometime, where we can just get together and figure this out, see if we can find an adviser, and get the organization packed filled out.
I don't think it'll take much to get it started, keeping it going will be the problem.
the Business school already has a entrepreneurship club started. There was a core group of students, but couldnt find enough interest, so the idea died down. I dont know how different this will be from PBL but you may want to talk to someone with the Business Administration department and they would probably help you to set up the club, find an advisor etc.
Well, every entrepreneurship club that I've seen is distinctly different from PBL. We had one at QU and they wouldn't let us start PBL because they said we'd give the entrepreneurs competition. So...if the idea of that club died down, I think PBL would go over better anyway. But that's just my opinion.
