He exits the classroom and bounds back moments later as the embodiment of exercise guru Richard Simmons-corkscrew wig, sparkly tank top, silky shorts, and all. He acts as if nothing’s wrong, and in a split second he decides to ditch the fanfare. But instead, the name of the theme-”On the Go”-pops up prematurely on the classroom screen. He hits a remote to start a musical fanfare. Working up to the introduction of the theme, Wallace tells the students they are part of a product development firm with a long history of innovation. Under Wallace, it has evolved to give mechanical-engineering students (who are required to take it) and a few curious souls from other courses a realistic taste of life as a product design engineer. For decades, students designed on paper only by 1995, when Wallace took over the class, they were building their projects. (The TAs joke that it adds up to “100 billion person-hours of fun.”) The course, originally known as 2.73, dates back at least to the 1950s. Although it’s officially a 12-hour class (three hours in class, three in the lab, and six hours of homework each week), students routinely spend 20 hours a week on 2.009-and decidedly more during crunch times. They know they’re in for a semester that will be grueling and, for many, incredibly rewarding.
“But it’s a big responsibility, because there are so many ways things can go wrong.” “It’s empowering, building the environment we live in,” he says. But there are even more wrong answers, because so many little details-like choosing unsuitable O-rings for the space shuttle-can spell disaster. The Encompass Lending Group app allows all 3 parties (home buyer, loan officer, real estate agent) to track the progress of the home loan application process as the Home Buyer meets the milestones and conditions required to get final approval.In product engineering, Wallace tells the students, there can be a lot of right answers, like a bike designed for a girl with cerebral palsy that got her riding in just a few minutes. If a home buyer is pre-qualified, they can print an official Pre-Approval letter to use when placing an offer on a house. The Encompass Lending Group app connects Home Buyers & Realtors with Loan Officers to learn which home loan they can pre-qualify for when searching for a home to purchase.
