With the initial request, desires, and STEM tool requirements provided by the K-12 school and teacher(s), the engineering design students develop initial concepts and visit the K-12 classroom. During the initial visit, the engineering students introduce themselves and present early design efforts. Additionally, a market survey is administered to the K-12 students and teacher(s), in order to involve them in the design process and specifics of the resulting STEM tool.

Of course, these are not the onlyknown exhaustive set of computer languages. There are many other computer languages ofspecial purpose significance and are used in select scientific environment.In particular, the students today are taught some computer language programming constructs andthe associated program creation to help solve science and engineering problems, with some built-in graphical user interface convenience.

Recruiting and Retaining Key Sponsors Sponsorship is important for funding the organization of the business plan competition, forfunding prizes to encourage participation, and for raising the profile of the Competition andconferring greater credibility to it. Prizes are a necessary incentive since participation in thecompetition, even by students, is optional. While recruiting sponsors for a newly institutedcompetition has to be based on promise, retaining them is based on performance. The most likely sponsors are alumni who have a sense of affiliation and loyalty to their almamater. The SVBPC’s principal sponsor in 2004 was Wanda Ginner, a Bay Area resident whowas a student at the College of Business in the 1960’s. She was so impressed with the
