The Product Design and Marketing Workshop will give you the opportunity to experience how engineers design and build new products that directly impact people’s lives. In order to impact the most people, you will also experience how entrepreneurs us market research as part of the product design process and to drive marketing campaigns.
In the product design phase, you will work with other participants to design and build a model of a prosthetic arm. Graduate students from the Pratt School of Engineering, under the direction of Dr. Gary Ybarra, will conduct these exercises. At the end of the workshop, your team will present its model to a panel of potential investors.Click here to read the article from the News and Observer about the previous Product Design & Marketing workshop held on October 12 and 13, 2007.
