This Week @ AU

Carrie Haywood (supply chain management) and Justin Gorman (chemical engineering), seniors in the Business-Engineering-Technology (B-E-T) minor, participated in this year's joint U.S.-India student project team. Along with mechanical engineering students Prateek Jain and Mukul Mittal of the Indian Institute of Technology in New Delhi, Haywood and Gorman worked on an "infotainment system" for use in automobiles produced for U.S. and Indian markets. Haywood, Gorman, and Pradeep Lall, project supervisor and professor of mechanical engineering, visited IIT-Delhi in April to meet with their Indian team members in order to complete the project. The four students worked together for a week and toured several auto assembly and auto parts manufacturing companies around New Delhi. They met top- and middle-management employees to discuss the auto industry in India and to gather information about the nature of automotive infotainment systems needed for the country's automobile market.
