This is awesome advice Eric.

Its something I know us and a lot of other teams do when we present to companies searching for mentors and/or sponsors. Have the engineers try to find the biggest flaws in your design and what you could have easily done better and also what other drastic changes would have been better. Then the students and the engineers both discuss why and how different design decisions were made and how that can be improved too. Just the fact that the students might say something un-engineer-like may also be enough for someone to want to mentor.
