Well, what would you say to my team, then? For our first 5 years, we didn't have a single engineer on our team. We just had a shop teacher, an liberal-arts major parent, and a bunch of really smart students. You don't need actual engineers to be successful, if you've got a good group of knowledgeable students. Now, I'm not trying to slam engineers here, but I'm just trying to show you can have a student-run team and still learn a lot and be successful. Sure, you miss out on the "interaction" with engineers, but it gives the students a lot more involvement in the entire process.
