He acknowledged that the lean startup approach findsits roots in trial-and-error approach which is natural to scientific research but alien tomanagement professionals. He testified to the Congressional Committee on Science, Space andTechnology 6 that an unexpected result of this program was an impact on the professor's ownthinking about how they teach their science and engineering students. Since the launch of NSF I-Corps in 2010, more than 800 teams have completed the NSF curriculum from 192 universitiesin 44 states resulting in the creation of more than 320 companies that have collectively raisedmore than $83 million in follow-on funding 7

The participation was truly multidisciplinary,with 64% of the students coming from an engineering curriculum (EE, Computer E, MechE,AeroE or ChemE), 25% from Biology or Biomolecular Science and the rest from elsewhere inthe University or on exchange. A high school senior, whose participation was required by EPICSin IEEE funding, received full college credit for the course.The course’s didactic goals were to 1) introduce students to the disability field and the concept ofsupported employment through their own research and by visits to the recycling centers; 2) intro-duce by hands-on experiences college and high school students of varied backgrounds to

The role of the instructor will be more like a facilitator of a learningenvironment. In their paper published in 1992, Fleming and Mills suggested fourcategories that seemed to identify most students’ learning behavior. The facilitatorshould try to accommodate VARK learning styles for the benefit of the learners. VARKis an acronym that stands for Visual, Auditory, Read (includes writing), and Kinestheticsensory modalities that humans employ for learning and processing information.
