Detroit radio listners hear about WMU engineering students
Fans of innovation who listen to news radio WWJ 950 or read its Great Lakes Innnovation and Technology Report recently learned about budding entrepreneurs at WMU.
Matt Roush reported on four products developed by students in the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences.
Excerpt:
Six teams of students in a class called IME 3010, Entrepreneurial Engineering II: Product Design and Development, were pitching their products in public Friday to an audience of upper elementary and middle school students, fellow WMU students, other professors and guests.
The class is part of a three-course entrepreneurial track in WMU’s industrial engineering area. The first course teaches students basic concepts of product design and development. In the second class, the students actually design and build prototypes of products they dream up themselves, and do basic cost and manufacturing analysis.
