"One of the big take-aways for students who have completed an IPD Capstone Project is the very real sense of ownership and empowerment that comes with having followed our process through the various phases of product development. Prospective employers are delighted to see that our students can discuss all aspects of the product development decision making process. Hearing an engineering major refer to the business context in which the team's technical and design decisions were made puts that student way ahead of the pack in the job interview process."
