education programs to be sustainable, several factors must be in place. Theprogram must beneficial to students, be easily implementable by faculty, and be affordable. Theemerging finding that students do not require financial reimbursement highlights thesustainability of the ICPT program. Results show that the program is valuable for students andtutors, and is easily implemented by faculty. The WSU ICPT program can act as a model forother engineering programs, and thus impact the culture of engineering education.Bibliography1.
