Product family design places an increased emphasis on management ofinformation due to the reuse aspect of having a platform. This has prompted a multi-prongedcollaborative research effort by four universities that covers many facets of the product platformrealm. The National Science Foundation’s Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU)Program was one of these research efforts. The REU Program gave five students from the fouruniversities the opportunity to discover platform design and participate in ongoing researchbetween the four universities. The students spent a month each at Bucknell University
