ROYAL OAK – Cristi L. Bell-Huff, PhD, Director, Studio for Entrepreneurial Engineering Design at Lawrence Technological University, talks about how engineering students at LTU develop an entrepreneurial mind-set. This year’s focus is on people with disabilities.
Students must ask real customers – the disabled – what products they need to make their lives easier. Two new engineering studios for freshmen and sophomores are part of the Taubman Complex.
The Entrepreneurial Engineering Design Studio has been established to serve as an incubator where students, faculty, community members, and corporate partners can develop new products and manufacturing processes. The studio includes equipment that gives students the opportunity to try out new ideas outside of the classroom.
The Entrepreneurial Engineering Design Studio also is a conduit for faculty-led research projects with corporate partners that can also provide research experience to students.
