The Design, Optimization, Evaluation and Redesign (DOER) Center was founded in 2006 to
serve as an external consulting clearing house for the School of
Engineering at GVSU. The Center matches potential clients with faculty and
students capable of completing projects for clients. Past clients
include Roman Manufacturing, Lorin Lighting and Emerald Spa. Students
involved in the DOER center gain experience in applied research and
product development. Faculty are able to apply their knowledge to solve advanced industrial problems. What the DOER center can do (PDF)
