== Design Challenge ==
*Description: The Design Challenge would be developed to help UMass Lowell students recognize current inefficiencies within Lowell's infrastructure. This will not only help our current economic development of Lowell, but it will give students real-world experience moving forward. We would hopefully gain a grant to help fund this, and run multiple challenges per year.<br/><br/>
*Milestones:
**Reach out to current graduate students- Fall 2013 through Spring 2014
**Market resources- Spring 2015
**Connect undergraduate students with graduate students- Fall 2015
