Starting this January, Master's student-consultants will spend 600 hours per team developing a design engineering solution for a challenge of your choice.

Based on your needs, students will apply methods, principles, and practices in consideration of design safety, sustainability, and professional ethics to create a unique solution for your design problem.

The students will perform a needs analysis with specifications for the solution, document and describe the problem solution, and build a working prototype for your use.

Project tasks may include, but are not limited to:

• Proposal refinement
• Needs assessment
• Conceptual design
• Embodiment design
• Design verification
• Design project communication

Example project topics include:

• Advanced manufacturing applications
• Medical assistive devices design
• Commercial product design
• Automotive design
• Accessibility design
