Description

University of Detroit Mercy is the only university in the world that combines the centuries-old commitment to education of the Society of Jesus and the Religious Sisters of Mercy. The two charisms, rooted in the Gospel, strengthen and support each other in their vision of building competent, compassionate leaders ready to serve in a vulnerable world. Our students learn compassion and respect for all voices, especially those that are often muted. Moral and ethical issues are considered alongside academic and professional disciplines. Our students understand that the Mercy and Jesuit charisms demand that they put their education to work in service of others. Collaboration across programs provides students a local and global vision, helping them understand the difference they can make in their field and the world.

Market Opportunity Exploration and New Product Development

ENGR 4500/5500

Sep 16, 2025 - Nov 8, 2025

This experience is designed for learners to translate a market opportunity into a viable product opportunity for the project partner. Learners begin by identifying unmet needs in the marketplace (with help from the partner), translating these into actionable problem statements, identifying stakeholders and their needs, considering existing products and related patents, and generating innovative solution concepts to address the opportunity. Once a wide array of alternatives has been generated, learners will apply concept screening and selection, and recommend their best ideas for further investigation and development. The learners will be taught a wide range of systematic innovation tools and apply them throughout the project.
