Taught jointly by faculty of the Ross School of Business and the Stamps School of Art & Design, the annual Integrated Product Design course challenges seven cross-disciplinary student teams from the College of Engineering, Ross School of Business, Stamps School of Art & Design, and School of Information to design, build, and market a brand new product, and then to face free market competition through the IPD Trade Show.

The current IPD challenge: Design and produce a tangible product suitable for use by working adults, which may be used to build healthy living habits, so as to improve quality of life, health maintenance and outcomes; and be profitable at a consumer cost of less than $200.

Members of the University of Michigan community and the general public are invited to meet the student design teams, test out prototypes of their new technologies, and vote for the “best of the best” at the 2019 Integrated Product Development Trade Show, December 4 at the Ross School of Business in Ann Arbor.

Want a preview?  Student teams will design webpages and videos to advertise their new health technology products and release them to the public on November 26th.  Check www.tauber.umich.edu for the latest updates.
