ISU engineering students partner with 3M on innovative design challenge

Apr 16, 2018

Iowa State engineering students were selected to participate in an exclusive, and innovative, design challenge with 3M. The team of 8 students were 1 of just 4 teams selected to design a container that would be used in airdrops during medical emergencies. The box needed to be able to survive a 40 meter drop, a submersion in water, and still be repurposed in another way to aid in during the emergency. The team's design worked wonderfully, and their experience applying classroom knowledge to a real-world problem was invaluable.
