461. IPD: Design: Industry sponsored Integrated Product Development Project (IPD) projects. The student works with an industry sponsor to do a technical and economic feasibility study of new product development. Selection and content of the project is determined by the faculty project advisor in consultation with the industry sponsor. Deliverables include progress and final reports, oral presentations and posters. Prerequisites: Consent of the department chair and faculty project advisor.

462. IPD: Manufacturing: Industry sponsored Integrated Product Development Project (IPD) projects. The student works with an industry sponsor to create detailed design specifications, fabricate and test a prototype new product and plan for production. Selection and content of the project is determined by the faculty project advisor in consultation with the industry sponsor. Deliverables include progress and final reports, oral presentations, posters and a prototype. Prerequisite: Consent of the department chair and faculty project advisor.
