Authors: Ralph Ford; Jana Goodrich; Robert Weissbach

development.The course is interdisciplinary in nature, with students in both the School of Engineering andEngineering Technology (SEET) as well as the Sam and Irene Black School of Businessenrolling in the course and working together in teams. The course is taught by two facultymembers in SEET (one engineering professor, one engineering technology professor), and onefaculty member in the school of business. Much of the content is similar to that presented byCagan, et. al.2 for their Integrated Product Development course, and by Lumsdaine3 for the ME490 course. However, due to time constraints, teams are not required to construct and test aprototype. One engineering design text4 and one business plan text5 are the primary textbooksfor the course
