Through this competition, the team represents the University of Michigan College of Engineering while showcasing an innovate idea. The variety of components in each competition cycle gives each member experience with numerous practical skills. Through the research process, members learn how to research broad ideas, find specific solutions, and collaborate with others to narrow down these ideas. While building the cube, problem solving skills are required to find solutions to any issues that arise while turning a theoretical design into an practical object. The business focus of the team is truly what sets it apart from other engineering project teams. Members, who are primarily College of Engineering students, gain experience in business concepts as they relate to an engineering design. Members also get business experience in both creating an ad that grabs the attention of potential mock investors and a pitch that explains all aspects of the cube, and particularly how it is both profitable and useful.
Your support would allow us to provide more students with practical hands on experience in the lab, and help cover travel expenses for our members to present our work at the national level in Minneapolis this fall!
About our Organization
ChemE Cube at the University of Michigan is an engineering and business focused project team that participates in the AIChE ChemE Cube Competition. Students will collaborate to create a 1 cubic foot chemical plant and promote our technology through a 1-minute ad, poster, 20-minute "shark tank" style pitch to a panel of mock investors. The team values creativity, collaboration, and innovation, and encourages students from all majors to join and contribute.
