Internship
Graduates of the Institute will take this year long introduction to the overlap of science and engineering. Students will explore materials science and environmental impact to develop a novel sunscreen formula and the package to contain it for retail purposes. Students will learn how to develop an engineering research proposal, how to create and test a prototype for quality control, and how to present their findings in a Stage Gate. All students will complete a culminating project examining a sustainable design challenge of their own choosing.
