The IDE program was formerly known as Engineering Plus ("e+"). Though the name has changed, the program has not. We have preserved this article for its useful insight into our innovative program and people.

 

The New Venture challenge had a record number of competitors for their 12th annual entrepreneurial competition. 146 teams started the competition and only 6 teams made it to the finals where they will compete for up to $100,000 in prizes.
