-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

In most cases the studentswere required to fix any errors and perform the experiment again to ensure accurate results. Insome cases, due to single run nature of the apparatus or extreme difficulty in fixing errors,students were allowed to simply explain differences without fixing them.Students documented the entire project in a report which was evaluated for technical accuracyand writing skills.

The acquisition of his company was completed in Jan. 2000, and Garcia retired shortly afterwards. Prior to starting his own business, Garcia had 20 years of engineering experience. He initially worked for the U.S. Department of the Navy upon graduating from college in 1966 and into the 1970s. He wrote extensively on many technical topics and developed a number of computer programs (in Fortran and Basic languages) for designing various mechanical systems for ship propulsion systems and other special mechanical systems, as well

Team members define problems, develop and designsolutions, perform testing and analyses, make recommendations, manufacture parts, stay withinbudgets and schedules, and manage multiple projects.
