The aPriori Enterprise Cost Management software platform improves the financial results of discrete manufacturing and product companies by enabling them to actively control Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) with real-time, predictive and precise product cost assessments. aPriori's proven and patent-protected software platform allows companies to assess, control and reduce the cost of their products in real time, at any time during design, sourcing and manufacture. To learn more about aPriori, please visit www.apriori.com. The most critical components of the aPriori enterprise cost management platform are the physical and cost models of the common manufacturing processes in use today. Currently, the aPriori platform supports processes including sheet metal fabrication, stage tooling, welded assemblies, injection molding, 3-axis machining, sand casting and die casting. The aPriori SCOPE team will help aPriori expand the number of processes supported by their software by developing cost models for a range of Surface Treatment Processes such as painting and plating. Also, the cost information for each process must be updated periodically as the manufacturing markets change over time. The team will work with aPriori to develop an application to allow both customers and the aPriori services team to create, manage and maintain critical production data for multiple manufacturing locations worldwide.

The Rockwell Automation SCOPE team is working to identify, assess and develop a viable business application for a MEMS based microfluidic sensor chip developed by the RA Advanced Technology Lab. In keeping with Rockwell Automation's business structure, the team's focus will be on solving customer problems as they relate to an industrial, rather than consumer setting. The team will begin at a broad level, gaining exposure to various industries and their processes, which will then serve as a lead to begin identifying applications. Next, in consultation with the sponsor, the most promising ideas will be chosen based on technical feasibility, potential market value and potential user value. Once the first stages leading to application identification have been completed, we will continue work on the integration of the chip into a commercially viable modular sensing head, with the possibility of developing middle electronics and firmware.

The next generation worker has grown in a world much different than the generation before. They do not know a world without the internet, they learn to solve problems and collaborate inside their gaming environments, and they multi-task with the tools of their generation. Their work habits, attitudes, and values are quite different. Many forward thinking companies are beginning to untangle the value proposition of this next generation and look at how to attract, retain, and leverage their skills to the fullest. To this end, the MITRE has sponsored our team to look at future collaboration environments, tools and workspaces to nurture these abilities and gain insight into novel ways to accomplish traditional knowledge worker tasks.

Endoscopic Band Ligation is a hemostasis technique used for esophageal varices, which are protruding vessels caused by hypertension in the portal venous system. The band ligator is an attachment to the distal end of an endoscope that deploys elastomeric bands over varices, cutting off blood flow, and eventually causing the varices to fall off. The current treatment device involves a tedious, laborious assembly by the factory workers. There are additional product development opportunities in usability and alternative methods of band deployment. Therefore, the Olin College SCOPE team is working with Boston Scientific to investigate designs for alternate methods of ligation band deployment that address these issues. The project will involve mechanical design, component testing, materials selection and analysis, and manufacturing analysis. The team will brainstorm concepts and develop rough prototype devices. They will then use modeling, prototyping and testing methods to assess the effectiveness of the final design. The main goal of the project is to provide Boston Scientific with a prototyped design that increases the product's manufacturability and meets the needs of their customers.

The Olin Autonomous Surface Craft (OASC) was developed during the 2007‐08 academic year in a partnership between the Olin College of Engineering SCOPE program (Senior Consulting Project for Engineers) and Schlumberger. Five Olin students worked on the OASC over the course of two semesters towards the goal of presenting the sponsoring scientists at Schlumberger with a platform capable of doing underwater acoustic imaging. This paper will describe the OASC and its capabilities and present the results of some tests that have been performed.

This project is to develop a robotic tractor that can perform multiple farm tasks, such as plowing, disking and spraying, with a view toward increasing productivity while creating a safer work environment in the process. A set of low-cost, adaptive components that could be added on to any tractor will allow any farmer, no matter how small the operation, to reap the benefits of robotics technology in the agricultural sector.

This project is aimed at improving an existing wood burning stove design by Estufas Ixiles Stove Co., an initiative of Community Enterprise Solutions. There are two primary focuses to this project. The first is to improve the design, making it: Less expensive Easier to assemble Appeal to the design values of our users Be at least as energy efficient as the current model The second is to address the business model by: Understanding the current market and value-chain Understanding the partnerships between CES and local entrepreneurs Studying the competition (i.e. other stove distribution organizations) Increasing the sustainability of the low-cost business model built around the product Ultimately, the principal goal is to drive the cost of the stove as low as possible while maintaining or increasing usability, energy efficiency, ease of assembly, and ease of distribution.
