Career path analysis of professionals selected by MIT undergraduates
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)For current MIT undergrads, life after graduation can seem daunting. With uncertainty about job duration, graduate school, and career paths in general, many undergraduates enter the real world unsure of what the future ... -
Case study in rapid product design and development
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)This thesis explores a new strategy in developing products quickly, cheaply and efficiently, with the hopes to redefine the paradigms behind the product design process. This was carried out through the development of the ... -
A case study in troubleshooting electromechanical software-controlled systems : the InMotion² Robot
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)The InMotion² robot is a clinical version of the MIT-Manus robot, which was developed in the 1990s to help with upper limb rehabilitation of stroke survivors. In 2015, experiments were planned to use the InMotion² robot ... -
A case study of the manufacturing and shipping costs of outsourcing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)As the world continues to move into a global economy, companies have more choices in terms of who their suppliers are and who their customers are. Improved technological and communication capabilities have allowed firms ... -
