Our company advertises products online. We want to expand our product offering.

We would like to collaborate with students to produce prototypes for new design ideas.

This will involve several different steps for the students, including:

• Familiarizing themselves with our goals, products and services.
• Creating drawings and models using computer-aided design (CAD).
• Updating prototypes based on feedback and design decisions.
• Documenting details about design components.

Bonus steps in the process would also include:

• Developing new design ideas for future prototyping.

By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:

• Familiarity with our goals, products and services
• Creation and updating of prototypes
• Documentation of design choices and component functions

Bonus steps would include:

• Developing ideas for future prototyping

Final deliverables should include

• A final report.
• A presentation.

Students will connect directly with us for mentorship throughout the project. We will be able to provide answers to questions such as:

• Our new and existing products and services
• Input on choices, problems or anything else the students might encounter.

In order to complete this project, students can self-teach, but it is beneficial to be familiar with:

• Prototyping and CAD

Nice to haves for students include

• Knowledge of relevant software and CAD tools

Again, students can complete this project without any of the prior knowledge listed here. Students will be expected to research and learn more about the above as the project goes along.

We can provide students with:

• Access to prototyping and CAD tools
• A walkthrough / tutorial of our new and existing products and services
