The following represents the assessments of clinic projects over the last year. The responses to each of the questions follow: At what level did the results reflect the original goals and projected deliverables? Exceeded goals-3, Attained goals-26, Nearly met goals-3, Failed to meet goals-0 Of the 32 responses, over 90% said that we either exceeded or attained the goals of the project. Do you think the results of this project will be of benefit to your organization? Could you quantify the benefit? (e.g. significant, moderate, etc) -Significant, it gave us a good understanding of where we stood. -Yes, it provides, at the least, objective criteria to go back at our supplier for quality improvements. -Yes, by instrumenting the bar to provide accurate parameters, scale up from the prototype phase to the production phase should take significantly less time. -Yes, if we could completely eliminate beveled welds, we have the potential to reduce fabrication costs by $2000/Fab. -Yes, this project was based on requests for better understanding by people in plants. The work by the students will help jumpstart the effort that would be difficult to do otherwise. -This will benefit our organization. This has given the groundwork for helping understand our process better. Benefit is above average. -Yes, there is a potential significant benefit if the concepts can be developed for them. Do you think the students and teams benefited from the interaction with your organization? If so, what ways? -Yes, they were able to see a real life engineering issue. Any opportunity to learn is a benefit. -This was probably a unique experience for the students that stretched their way of thinking, a little anyway. For us, it was a reminder that our communication of info could always be improved. -I believe the UD team completed an acceptable amount of work when considering the amount of time that could be dedicated to the project and the tremendous learning curve they were on. One goal I had for the UD team, which was most definitely achieved, was for the students to appreciate the challenges R&D can offer. I believe the UD team truly benefited from their experiences with sensors and data acquisition. This will help them no matter what career they choose. -The students provided a fresh perspective. I hoped they would discover a solution we did not investigate. -Yes, they were enthusiastic about the project and its impact. -They gained experience with project design, scheduling, and problem solving. I think this will help them prepare for their careers. -Interacting with industry on “Real World” projects gave these students good experience/exposure to how project may be ran at their prospective employers. -Yes, got an idea of how a project, that may sound simple to begin with, can bring out a lot of other variables and concerns. -Yes, they were able to take an idea and create a viable conceptual solution. -Definitely, an understanding of how industry operates and the resources available will always benefit graduating students. Also, it shows how we use the design process in product design. Responses to issues associated with projects follow with the choice for response listed.
