Ultimate Design Challenge
How can we redesign a product’s packaging to make it more environmentally friendly?
Project Summary
Product packaging often uses materials and processes that negatively affect the Earth. In their role as design engineers, students use the engineering-design process and geometric modeling to redesign a product’s packaging to render it more sustainable. Students explore volume, surface area, and dimensions of complex shapes to develop prototypes that meet the product’s packaging design constraints while limiting the packaging material used and/or waste generated.
