Over the first three years, the concept has emerged as an occasional engine for generation of new product innovation and has launched one new fledgling commercial venture that has achieved state-wide recognition. Several of the scholar teams have now morphed into product and enterprise innovation groups. Along the same time-line, the Manufacturing Engineering faculty have been striving to introduce new process science and production technologies into undergraduate learning. These two notions have been merged into an innovation-focused scholar team in the realm of micro-manufacturing, initially focusing on product innovation in medical and dental surgical instrument and implant applications
