A field trip organized for the "Materials and Processes" class to Dauphin Furniture in Boonton, NJ. The goal of the visit was to understand the early steps of an end product before going to market; from the initial concept, development, refinement, feasibilty, and manufacturability to sustainability. First a very thorough presentation held by president Gary Chin, followed by a factory tour where students observed in-house production capabilities and apprehended the applications that were taught during the semester.
