PROJECT SHOWCASE
EDSGN 100 Cornerstone
Student teams in EDSGN 100 used a variety of design tools and techniques to design, prototype, and evaluate a solution to a problem posed by the project sponsor: Wabtec Corporation. Taken from the statement of work, the project objective was to “research, analyze, and submit an optimized solution for the potential of utilizing an Energy Train as an alternative to transport green energy to remote urban population centers.” Students focused on various steps throughout this process such as loading the energy onto the train or considerations for powering the train through a provided route. Through the lens of systems thinking and sustainability, students followed similar design processes to identify pain points, ideate potential solutions, and evaluate and communicate a proposed solution through an iterative, multi-week project. One team was selected by each EDSGN 100 section to represent their section at the design showcase.
