The participantselection process, the program’s structure, and the efforts made to make the experience bothunique and comprehensive, are all also discussed. The paper then examines the program’sefficacy by analyzing surveys and comments received from program participants. In addition, thepaper shows how the ITE program has served as an effective recruiting tool for UVa’s School ofEngineering and Applied Science, that could be emulated by other engineering programs.Finally, the paper presents a critique of the ITE program that includes its demonstrated benefitsas well as recommendations on how to make it even more effective in the future.UVa

The main benefit of the literature, primarilyderived from the articles written by Mian (1996a, 1996b, 1997), was to develop a framework, adapted based on ourexperience with incubators, and used to analyze the four UBIs affiliated with SJSU.
