Do you have an important engineering project
on the back burner?
The University of Dayton Design and Manufacturing Clinic can
help by providing a team of student engineers to work on your
project.
The Design and Manufacturing Clinic provides experiential
learning opportunities for student teams through the implementation
and successful completion of projects that will provide significant
benefit to the sponsoring agency. Since 1996, student teams
have completed over 100 projects with over 40 companies.
"Our students tend to think outside the box...they aren't
afraid to take risks or investigate spin-off ideas."
Philip E. Doepker, Coordinator, Design and Manufacturing Clinic
"You can go through four years of school
and you never get to do anything like this-actually going
through the entire design process from start to finish. It
brings together all you’ve learned, and that builds confidence."
Sharon Wolf, student
You get:
- a team of 3-4 upper-level undergraduate students working on an engineering
project for 4 months
- a faculty mentor to help guide each group
- weekly status reports
- 3 oral presentations during the semester
- a confidential report documenting the results of the work.
You provide:
- a meaningful project
- an industry mentor to guide the students from your company's perspective
- materials needed for fabricating prototypes and models
- $3000 to cover clinic costs, travel, laboratory use, and general administrative expenses
Types of Projects:
Projects are addressed by upper-level undergraduates that
have completed the majority of their coursework. Thus, there
are a large number of areas that can be addressed in a project,
including:
- product design
- manufacturing
- ergonomics
- structures
- materials
- control systems
- environmental issues
- fluid mechanics
- energy systems
- facilities layout
- stress analysis
- cost estimation
"It was great working with other engineers...we
got to practice everything: decision analysis, design process,
brainstorming concepts, testing. We got course credit for
doing something useful, and our sponsor got a lot of good
work."
Kerry Ott, student
