The Student Innovation Center and the revised
curricula are symbolic of the department's commitment to undergraduate
education. The mission is to prepare students to create the
future, the core of what Michigan Tech has been doing
here for the last 116 years. The Student Innovation Center also includes
The Cuskie Design and Creativity Center 209, where senior students will develop product designs, and a Product Realization Center, where they can
bring their designs to reality. The
Student Innovation Center was made possible by many generous
gifts from alumni, corporate sponsors, and friends of the department.
Major gifts from alumni were contributed by Herman and Josephine
Cuskie and Martin Lagina and his family. |
