Announcing the 2011 UDM Ford Innovation Contest

Opportunity for Engineering Students

I have just received information about an exciting opportunity for our Engineering students, so I am "forwarding" it here.

Engineering Students: The University of Detroit Mercy (UDM) and Ford will be sponsoring their third innovation contest this fall. Registration will officially open in mid-August. UDM/Ford hope to bring together up to 20 teams. The contest involves identifying current opportunities with existing vehicles as well as possibilities that arise from emerging technologies to develop proposed innovations to the automobile. Teams only need to develop the concept—not do the detailed engineering. There is no cost to enter and travel to UDM is not required! Each team—comprised of 3-5 full-time undergraduate students from any major—must ultimately develop a 3 minute digital video communicating the opportunity identified and the team's solution. There will also be several required process gates with intermediate deliverables; teams must pass these gates to remain active in the contest. Interdisciplinary teams are encouraged. Prizes: $2500 for the winning team, $1500 for 2nd place, and $1000 for 3rd place. A few key dates are as follows: • Registration deadline: 5 pm EDT Monday, September 19 • Kickoff presentation (can be 'attended' via internet) Tuesday, September 20, 6 - 9 pm EDT • Videos must be submitted by 5 pm EST Tuesday, November 1, 2011 Winners will be announced at UDM's Ford Innovation Symposium on Thursday, November 3, 5 - 7 pm EST, Fountain Lounge, McNichols Campus, UDM.
