Clients

Our students get results that keep clients happy and coming back for more. Based on external feedback, our Innovation Center and Design Clinic are among the top facilities in the country.

The board of advisors for the Kern Entrepreneurship Education Network (KEEN) has designated the University of Dayton School of Engineering as "Best in Class" in project-based learning. 

Emerson Climate Technologies provided the start-up grant for the Design and Manufacturing Clinic and has been the largest supporter of project ideas for the students. Dr. Dean Ruwe, former CEO of Copeland was the Design and Manufacturing Clinic chair from 1996 through 2003, and Dr. Rob Comparin of Emerson Climate Technologies currently chairs the Innovation Center Advisory Committee.

CORNERSTONE RESEARCH GROUP: Patrick Hood, President:

"Our way of thinking moves from technology to business. The business elements that convert ideas and technology into something real are creation, production and distribution."
