Projects at the Design Lab
The Design Lab continually seeks projects that accomplish two goals:
- To engage engineering students in open-ended, technically challenging, real-world design projects that are important to sponsors and partners.
- To provide a valuable return on investment in ideas, innovations, and potential employees to our sponsors and partners.
As we approach the end of our second decade, we have built up a broad base of project experience and past work.The projects shown here represent only a small sampling of the hundreds of projects that our students have delivered.
Example Projects
Study the feasibility of using VELCRO brand conductive hook and loop fasteners in wearable technology
Determine the capability of silicones in the additive manufacturing process to allow for customizable solutions in the medical, aerospace, automotive, electronic, and consumer industries. Expand the market for Momentive silicones.
