= Priority 2: Incorporating Design Teams in the Science/Engineering Departments (UPDATED) <br/> =
<!--?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?-->The research that takes place on Jewell's campus is mostly individualized and only lasts a couple semesters. Our engineering department is only a year old and hasn't had enough time or initiative to grasp design teams yet because the students are still so young. But, teams include teamwork, leadership, and responsibility which leads to success as individuals and as groups.

We thought we could redevelop this plan in terms of a science design time. We decided to do this in more of a ladder format rather than a pyramid. At the top of the ladder is the mentor/professor that leads the team and provides the tasks and goals of the group. The mentor brings in someone who they believe would benefit their team and teaches them the tasks while making them aware of the goals. The experienced researcher will then be heavily involved in teaching the newest researcher the ropes. Overtime, this would become a cycle as seniors graduate, juniors and sophomores ascend up the ladder, and freshmen fill empty positions. There are many benefits to our prototype such as continuous innovation to the research being done, practicing team-building, and learning through teaching.</span>
