Qualitative analysis of student blogs and open-ended survey responses in iteration 2, coded using Miles and Huberman's steps, found students wanted "industry partners that are active in the community"; this led to partnering with entrepreneurs in iteration 3.

"However, students also felt that the engagement with industry partners was not sufficient and that their projects were not “real” enough. An area that needed to be redesigned in the next iteration was the type of industry partners with whom students engage."
