MMIW 2012 will provide participants with first hand applied training in problem solving that is directly relevant to industrial research. MMIW also provides training in a strong research context that is otherwise difficult to achieve in an academic setting.
MMIW 2012 is centered around the study of six open problems that are presented by industrial mentors on the first day of the workshop. The participants then divide into groups of roughly six students per team to tackle the problems during the remainder of the 10-day program. Each team will give a progress report to the workshop participants, mentors, and observers at the midpoint of the workshop, and again at the end. Final written reports will be prepared by each team.
