Activating the Future: Our 2021 Corporate Sponsors
By Seth Apol
As the spring semester begins for students in the Master of Integrated Innovation for Products and Services (MIIPS) program, so too begins the opportunity to innovate in real time. The spring semester marks the beginning of the Integrated Product Development (IPD) capstone course for MIIPS students. Students in this course are thoughtfully blended into teams based on their unique academic background and work experience and charged with a problem statement for a corporate sponsor of the Integrated Innovation Institute.
For students, IPD capstone is a chance to sit at the table through every design, engineering, and business consideration required to thoughtfully solve for their problem statement. For corporate sponsors, IPD capstone provides sponsors the chance to have the value of their product, process, or service activated by innovative Carnegie Mellon students.
