We will present cases of successful--and unsuccessful--projects, and summarize salient points from each case. Through audience participation, we will observe the diversity, or the consensus, of opinions of which education methods worked and which did not. After this session, attendees will have the more focused ability to potentially make changes to their programs, increasing the probability of success of student projects. Topics such as resource management, student abilities and talent, along with project management will be discussed.
