University of Michigan’s Art & Design, Business, Engineering, and School of Information students are gearing up for the 23rd offering of the Integrated Product Development (IPD) Trade Show! Members of our community will gather to view and make purchase decisions from the “best of the best” of their work over the past semester in this interdisciplinary course.

IPD is an experiential, cross-disciplinary course that puts teams of students from Art & Design, Business, Engineering, and Information in a competitive product development environment. This innovative course has been featured on CNN and written up in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Businessweek. The course is hosted by the Tauber Institute for Global Operations, and is taught jointly by faculty members Eric Svaan of the Stephen M. Ross School of Business and Stephanie Tharp from the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design.

You won’t want to miss this year’s trade show!

The Problem Statement: Design and produce a product or tool to be used with one hand, that enables people to perform routine daily tasks that otherwise would require two hands.
