-mentally learn the science and art of design by continuously applying the technical skills they haveobtained in traditional coursework. This just-in-time approach to engineering design education en-ables students to complete ambitious design projects as early as the sophomore year. And, by theirjunior and senior years, students are well equipped to embark on a completely original, entrepre-neurial enterprise. This paper describes the ongoing results of an innovative venture capital systemthat allows students to competitively apply for funding opportunities to embark on such an enter-prise. The Venture Capital Fund was created by a series of grants from the National Collegiate In-ventors and Innovators Alliance (NCIIA), an initiative of the

SAGE© is an open source symbolic computation tool, and it can be used for symbolicderivation, so every student can find the derivative, integral, and even gradient of functionseasily. In addition, it also supports programming in Python© style.

In addition,ABET had predefined outcomes of the program, whereas for NCA we used self-defined goalsand outcomes. Probably the biggest difficulty was that the assessment program we developedfor the NCA evaluation was not ingrained within the department. If we were to succeed with theABET evaluation, this had to change. Page 4.251.1Our NCA experience did give us several advantages. To begin with, the NCA made us thinkabout formal assessment.
