A Study of Potential Biomedical Applications - Tri-Sensory Pattern Language
The main goal for this project is for the student team to identify potential biomedical application(s) for the Tri-Sensory Pattern Language (TSPL) beyond the bounds of the company’s original motivation for developing the technology. The company will continue to develop the TSPL delivery system to benefit society.
Transportation Sustainability - Advanced Design Development of a Vacuum Chamber Airship
The main goal for the project is to continue advanced engineering design development of the Vacuum Chamber Airship (VCA) sponsored by the company and initiated by the 2023 ASU EPICS engineering student team. Students will use SolidWorks and available ASU analysis applications (e.g., ANSYS, CFD, FEA) and available enabling technical references on the company's data repository to assist in the development effort.
Advanced Technology Promotion using AI and Video Animation Storyboarding
Our engineering development company has been working diligently and collaboratively with graduate student teams via Riipen to develop three new innovative technologies to serve others (particularly the special needs community) in addition to developing an innovative and sustainable new transportation system. Company: Adaptive Concepts, LLC, Troy, Michigan USA. www.AdaptiveConcepts.org We want to utilize and leverage the most recent advancements in available marketing and promotional tools in order to get our message out to the masses. We would like to collaborate with students to develop and create an advanced technology promotion strategy using AI and video animation storyboarding for each of the three new innovative technologies. Once the strategy is created, out company would like the student team(s) to execute the strategy to determine effectiveness via available market feedback. This will involve several different steps for the students, including: Familiarizing themselves with our company’s advanced technologies: Embellish upon the company's available storyboard framework to develop narration and animation scenes for the video. Bonus steps in the process would also include: Combining visual and auditory elements to create a finalized video. Recommending ideas for future marketing strategies.
Website UI / UX Design & Prototype
Our company would like to explore re-designing our current website (AdaptiveConcepts.org) using Wix.com with a new prototype website. We are always on the lookout for innovative and fresh UI and UX ideas that will help our users. This will involve: Conducting background research on our existing web application for the product. We are happy to provide a walkthrough and other resources to help bring them up to speed. Identifying key areas of our current website and what areas of focused might return the best results in a redesign. Learning and using various software design tools. We strongly recommend students learn how to use Figma as this is the latest and greatest tool currently available. Creation of a screen by screen UX / UI prototype of a web application which can be used on all major browsers and be mobile friendly Conducting UX / UI testing with real potential users potentially involving paper prototypes or other software tools to support this
Prototype (mechanical engineering) design development for universal attachment system
Main Goal: Design fastening system concepts for securing a patient lifting system to a wheelchair. Our company has developed a new patent-pending patient lifting Class II medical device as shown in the video: https://youtu.be/32pzt1dj4cI The device needs to be laterally stabilized during the patient lifting process as the primary lifting pelvic strap and control surfaces under the patient arms are engaged. The company is interested in receiving student prototype design concepts to secure the device to the arms of the wheelchair so that it is able to move vertically as the device extends. The fastening system would be positive locking and ergonomically appealing with one-hand detach capability. Starting ideas include the use of a longitudinal bearing rail or other single-degree-of-freedom mechanical components in the fully integrated fastening system design. Medical device weight is an important consideration as well as selecting materials and design features suitable for a Class II medical device. To support the students innovative design concepting, the company would ship a prototype medical device to the professor/instructor leading the project for student(s) technical review and reference.

An Emergency Tsunami Evacuation System
The Main Goal of the project is for the student teams to determine the feasibility for the company-proposed Emergency Tsunami Evacuation System via a Low-Cost, Rapid Deployment Mass Human Lifting System. The feasibility assessment would be relevant for geographical areas most at risk of a Tsunami event.
Ergonomic and Usability Metrics & Assessment of a Prototype Medical Device
Students in groups of 3-5 will work with your company to identify ergonomic and usability metrics. They will provide quantitative biomechanical evaluations, usability and anthropometric assessments that would lead to recommendations and marketing material. Project activities may include, but are not limited to: Understanding the market and intended use of the product, including literature review and product reviews. Identifying benefits or advantages of using this product. Identifying drawbacks or disadvantages of using this product. (SQDCME safety, quality, delivery, cost, Moral, environmental impact) Identifying the risk factors with and without the product and a summary of their observations from product reviews. Evaluations on comfort or discomfort related to the product tasks and uses. Evaluate the product compared to the current product and process - (biomechanics , anthropometry, and usability) Product evaluation / usability evaluation
Business Model Canvas for Adaptive Concepts LLC
Students: To write a Business Model Canvas for Adaptive Concepts LLC To conduct company and associated industry research to draft a business plan to be transferred to a Business Model Canvas. To use a customer focused LEAN canvas. To provide a business model with an opportunity for multiple business models as appropriate. Company: To provide a dedicated contact person for weekly/bi-weekly drop-ins to address students’ questions as well as periodic messages over the duration of the project. To be available for a quick phone/virtual call with the instructor to initiate your relationship and confirm your scope is an appropriate fit for the course. To provide an opportunity for students to present their work and receive feedback. To provide relevant information/data as needed for the project. The project is relevant to the course as it provides students with experiential learning in a real-world business environment with a Michigan-based emerging technology development company.
