The goal was to increase the interest amongminority students in pursuing graduate degrees in engineering, math, or science. The programwas designed to educate undergraduate and first-year graduate students on the skill set requiredto succeed in graduate school and to introduce them to the research areas of some SOE faculty.The program helped the participating students understand the difference between anundergraduate and a graduate education and introduced them to research areas in which theywant to continue their education.

As a result of these changes, new patterns in student behavior started to emerge. Presenceof business students and senior advisors became a significant motivational factor.Interdisciplinary nature of the teams received natural boost, that eventually led to heightenedcreativity. Use of the Lean Startup methodology, which requires the participants continuouslyverify their design and market hypotheses, has also raised awareness among engineering studentsthat in their professional development they need to broaden their scope and add management,communication and entrepreneurial abilities to their skill

Engineering Design classes typicallyrevolve around theory relating to design, manufacturing techniques, and student performanceis usually evaluated using some form of project-based assessment. These projects usuallyspan the course of a term and run parallel to other modules. There is sometimes a perceptionby engineering students that design is not as technically demanding when compared to someof the more traditional, theoretical, technical subjects, e.g. Mathematics and Fluid Mechanics.However, irrespective of
