possible by a grant from Visteon Corporation (NYSE:VC), the state-
of-the-art engineering and product development facility will enable
engineering students to extend their analytical education beyond
the classroom and receive hands-on experience in the fabrication of
physical prototypes. "Visteon is proud of its partnership with
University of Detroit Mercy," said John Kill, Visteon's senior vice
president of product development. "We are pleased to contribute to
the University's 125-year tradition of educational and engineering
excellence. As one of the largest automotive suppliers in the
world, Visteon is in the business of engineering excellence and we
take seriously our commitment to helping develop the engineers of
the future." Dr. Leo Hanifin, University of Detroit Mercy's dean of
the College of Engineering and Science, thanked Visteon for making
the Visteon Prototype Center possible. "Detroit is being challenged
by both traditional and emerging automotive competition to quickly
bring a succession of exceptional products to market. Likewise,
Detroit's engineers are being challenged to be the design resource
of choice to develop those products," Hanifin said. "The students
who learn in these labs will leave University of Detroit Mercy with
capabilities that will allow them to compete effectively with any
engineer anywhere. They will know how to use the computer-based
tools and prototyping methods that are needed today in the global
engineering enterprise. And they will help companies like Visteon
remain at the top of the global automotive industry." The
dedication ceremony was attended by University of Detroit Mercy
alumni and a number of university dignitaries, including Father
Gerard L. Stockhausen, the newly inaugurated president of the
university. Visteon Corporation is a leading full-service supplier
