Student teams can investigate an engineering problem, redesign an existing product or process or explore a new technology.
Examples include:
-
-
Technology options: Identifying and evaluating technology solutions to overcome key technical obstacles for product & process innovation -
Technology landscapes: Characterizing activity, developments and trends in specific areas of science and technology and to derive new platforms for innovation -
Understanding raw material impact on processing -
Troubleshooting -
Baseline material and energy unit operation assessment -
Planning and executing work that will lead to predictable scale-up of processes from bench-top to manufacturing scale, and down-scaling existing processes to understand and improve current operations -
Process technology to influence productivity, new capability, and quality
