An Unlikely Path: How Industrial Design Led Ted Maliga to the U.S. Secret Service<\/h3>\n \n\n \n\t \t

On first look, a degree in industrial design may not seem like a typical pathway into national security. However, for Ted Maliga, a graduate from NC State University\u2019s College of Design, that connection led to a 25-year career with the U.S. Secret Service. During his tenure as chief technology officer and assistant director for the Office of Technological Development and Applied Research, Maliga helped the Secret Service tackle some of the most complicated security challenges.\u00a0<\/span>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/svg><\/span><\/p>\n\t \t \n <\/div>\n\n <\/a>\n\n \n

Rooted at NC State: Red Dot Design Award Winner Showcases Research-Design-Industry Partnership<\/h3>\n \n\n \n\t \t

What began as a classroom challenge to improve care for mothers and newborns has grown into an award-winning medical device. After studying how hospital design made it difficult for mothers recovering from cesarean birth to reach their infants, NC State industrial design students collaborated with UNC researchers and design firm Trig to create the Couplet Care Bassinet. Now used in hospitals across the U.S., the bassinet allows new mothers to safely connect with their babies \u2014 a powerful example of design improving everyday lives.<\/span>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/svg><\/span><\/p>\n\t \t \n <\/div>\n\n <\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"source":"","ncst_custom_author":"","ncst_show_custom_author":false,"ncst_dynamicHeaderBlockName":"ncst\/default-header","ncst_dynamicHeaderData":"{}","ncst_content_audit_freq":"","ncst_content_audit_date":"","ncst_content_audit_display":false,"ncst_backToTopFlag":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-23254","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/design.ncsu.edu\/industrial-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/23254","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/design.ncsu.edu\/industrial-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/design.ncsu.edu\/industrial-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/design.ncsu.edu\/industrial-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/design.ncsu.edu\/industrial-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23254"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/design.ncsu.edu\/industrial-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/23254\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24245,"href":"https:\/\/design.ncsu.edu\/industrial-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/23254\/revisions\/24245"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/design.ncsu.edu\/industrial-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23254"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
