Abstract: The multidisciplinary teamwork is nowadays recognized as a chal-lenge for innovation processes and also a necessary action. The University needs to include the multidisciplinary teamwork teaching approach into different levels, from undergraduate students to doctoral students, in order to improve value proposition thinking and wealth generation to society. In view of this situation, the aim of this article is to present an ongoing experience called OPEI: “Oficina de Projetos, Empreendedorismo e Inovação”, which stands for “Workshop of Projects, Entrepreneurship and Innovation”. The OPEI class has been developed since 1st semester of 2016 at UFMG, with the participation of five professors from different areas: Industrial Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, Business, and Biology. There are also active participation and academic contribution from undergraduate and graduate students, from different knowledge areas. This experience integrates not only students from different fields, but also faculties as well. Furthermore, this course connects the students with the local entrepreneurship ecosystem in the early stages of their project. This report includes each phase of class development: planning, execution and evaluation. We investigate the impact of this multidisciplinary class in student’s change of mindset, once they are exposed to innovative environment at both, the University and local entrepreneurship ecosystem. This teamwork experience also shows opportunities for student’s formation improvement in the innovation and entrepreneurship concepts. We develop the OPEI’s case study on a qualitative basis conducted with the use of a mix of methods and procedures: interviews, local observation and analysis of the student’s evaluations classes. The analytical method also includes content analysis. The results show how OPEI team is being translating multidisciplinary complexity into simplified and objective actions and content, adequate to its also multidisciplinary public, which spams students from dozens of knowledge courses and undergraduate freshmen to graduate students interacting at thesame class. The results presented are intended to provide subsidies to other similar teaching experiences on the innovation and entrepreneurship subject, recognized as necessary for quality of life improvement in society.
