9872891SeeringThis award supplies funds for the Engineering Research Center in Innovation in Product Development at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to purchase equipment for an Undergraduate Product Development Laboratory (UPDL). This facility would create an environment for undergraduates to experience "hands-on" design and fabrication of products, giving them the opportunity to learn to work with the tools commonly used in industry today. The UPDL will provide students with the needed equipment, machinery, space, guidance, and curriculum to make product development integral to their educational experience. The students will use the laboratory through a number of undergraduate courses, including "The Product Engineering Process," where students develop a product idea through all stages to a working, high quality prototype, and the "LEGO Robot Design Competition," where interdisciplinary student design teams build robots for a competition. Training on the new equipment for both faculty and students will be provided, and the facility will have evening and weekend access. The laboratory will also be open to other MIT faculty and to non-MIT users such as industry representatives, who act as student project advisors and other local universities, who have an informal agreement with MIT to share uncommon or niche resources.

9872891 Seering该奖项为马萨诸塞州理工学院的产品开发创新工程研究中心提供资金，为本科生产品开发实验室（JPL）购买设备。 该设施将为本科生创造一个体验“动手”设计和制造产品的环境，使他们有机会学习使用当今工业中常用的工具。 该实验室将为学生提供所需的设备，机械，空间，指导和课程，使产品开发不可或缺的教育经验。 学生将通过一些本科课程使用实验室，包括“产品工程过程”，学生通过所有阶段开发产品创意，以实现高质量的原型，以及“乐高机器人设计竞赛”，跨学科的学生设计团队为竞赛建造机器人。 将为教职员工和学生提供新设备的培训，该设施将在晚上和周末开放。 该实验室还将向麻省理工学院的其他教师和非麻省理工学院的用户开放，例如行业代表，他们担任学生项目顾问和其他当地大学，他们与麻省理工学院签订了非正式协议，分享不寻常或利基资源。
