The University of Michigan's (Tauber Manufacturing Institute) Integrative Product Development program shows great promise in the future of design, engineering, and manufacturing integration being implemented in schools to yield a more well-rounded and business-minded designer or engineer. The course challenged 8 teams of students to develop and present a superior product solution to help people with the use of one arm or hand with meal preparation. Each group yielded a working prototype along with an operational website to express both effectiveness and brand. The projects were released a few days ago, subject to a healthy influx of online voting as well as in-person voting and judging at a physical trade show. TMI hopes for these projects to receive constructive criticism as to set an example to motivate future IPD students to produce increasingly greater, more successfully integrated results.
