What participants have said
“Coming from an engineer’s perspective, [Idea to Plan] was eye-opening in a way, to see all of the customer and consumer qualities that haven't entered our mind yet. So this gives us a lot of work to do but it's an exciting new avenue to pursue for us.”
- Christian Mandrycky, Bioengineering
“The thing I liked most about [Idea to Plan] was the interactive work environment, and being able to talk with all the other teams and to bounce ideas back and forth, and see how we’re both attacking similar problems.”
- Christian Mandrycky, Mechanical Engineering and Nanotechnology
