Cross-disciplinary topics includelaw, entrepreneurship, electrical, materials, biology, and renewables.

As a result, there is a broad spectrum of faculty perceptionof the need of a P3-like program for the students, and also its benefit to individual faculty members.When the initial announcement of the offer of P3 track was communicated to the research activeSTEM faculty, it received lukewarm reception. Overall, the faculty response to the P3 programcan be divided into three categories: (a) Highly active senior faculty with large research groups.They were successful in the current system and did not see a need to make any changes; theysimply ignored the program. (b) Mostly the junior faculty, who considered the program as apotentially attractive way of building and expanding
