This fun, informative board game simulates the real-life business models of transportation companies. Players explore the current issues that the ride sharing, public transport, and individual ownership sectors face by drawing cards that present social, cultural, and economic changes. Navigating these changes, sectors compete to dominate the industry by getting the largest market share. In the process, they learn about the reality of the transportation industry and how it is changing. Transportation Domination is one of three board games produced in think[box] by a team of CWRU MBA and CIA students.

  This innovative board game explores the potential effects of cryptocurrency, such as Ethereum-run Decentralized Applications (DApps) on society. Players play either as the corporate elite who control the majority of the resources or the independent DApps who challenge them in competition for blockchain technology. In the game different types of capital (human, social, etc.) are represented by blocks and are either stacked, helping the corporate elite, or removed, helping the DApps. Much like Jenga, selecting blocks becomes tricky as the game progresses. The game ends when one side controls all resources, or the tower falls (and therefore, society) collapses. DApp Tycoon is one of three board games produced in think[box] by a team of CWRU MBA and CIA students.  

This rear control arm acts as a lightweight, load-bearing suspension member for a Baja racing competition vehicle. The CWRU Baja SAE team designed this part using Altair Inspire, a specialized 3D design software that optimizes strength of a part while minimizing its weight. By simulating the loads that the arm will need to carry, the software generates the lightest possible support structure. The students then used the waterjet cutter to fabricate the part out of a solid block of extruded aluminum.

This low-cost peristaltic pump was built for use in cultured meat research at Kent State University. Cultured meat is the process of creating lab-grown animal cells for human consumption, with the goals of increasing animal welfare and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Peristaltic pumps are commonly used in biological applications because the pump does not make direct contact with the biological media, thus avoiding contamination. Although peristaltic pumps are available commercially, this design addresses a need for small, customizable, low-cost solutions for wet lab equipment.
