  This work introduces an innovative program for training the next generation
of software engineers within university settings, addressing the limitations of
traditional software engineering courses. Initial program costs were
significant, totaling $551,420 in direct expenditures to pay for program staff
salaries and benefits over two years. We present a strategy for reducing
overall costs and establishing sustainable funding sources to perpetuate the
program, which has yielded educational, research, professional, and societal
benefits.
