Grainger VIP Impact Report

Finally, our interdisciplinary MD+I program continues to thrive. This unique collaborative master’s degree program with five schools and colleges empowers 25 students to innovate across disciplines. GEDIL staff teach two foundational courses in design, prototyping, and manufacturing. GEDIL isn’t just about machines and software. It’s about the students whose ideas fill the rooms, whose hands shape prototypes, and whose failures lead to groundbreaking discoveries. We’re building more than just projects; we’re building the engineers and innovators of tomorrow.
