  13. Keys for Success • Engineers are grown over time, they do not magically appear • Math and Science skills need to be nurtured and stretched • Students in traditionally underrepresented groups have fewer role models – so they may need a slight “push” • The goal should be to nurture and grow interest and curiosity – not train engineers! • Fundamentals are critical!
