IPPD Program Objectives

• Provide Classroom Laboratory Experience to New
  Engineers Including
• How fundamental engineering science is relevant
  to effective product and process design
• The major product realization process concepts
  and practices
  
  
• That design involves not just function but also
  producibility, cost, schedule, reliability,
  customer preference and life cycle issues
• A real life Design and Build project for an
  industrial customer
• How to complete projects on time and within
  budget
• That engineering is a multidisciplinary team
  effort

IPPD Program Highlights

• Two - semester (eight - month) 6 credit design
  course
• Seniors from Business School, Aerospace
  Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Civil
  Coastal Engineering, Computer Information
  Science Engineering, Electrical Engineering,
  Environmental Engineering, Industrial Systems
  Engineering, Material Science Engineering,
  Mechanical Engineering
• Projects and technical advice provided by
  industrial sponsors
• Integrated Product Process Design of projects
  by multidisciplinary teams (5 to 6/team) working
  with a faculty coach
• Substitute for existing capstone and technical
  elective
• Teams and individuals evaluated against defined
  project deliverables and lecture/workshop
  performance

Industrial Project Criteria

• Project should meet a specific need for sponsor
  company
• Company must name liaison engineer (2-4
  hrs./week)
• Project should not be of immediate concern (2
  semester class / 8 months)
• Project should involve both design and
  manufacture
• Project scope should be approximately 600 student
  hours
• Company provides educational grant of 20,000/
  project
• Project should not be classified or highly
  proprietary

13
Letter of Agreement Highlights

• Industry Sponsor / University of Florida
• Industry supports with 20,000 / project
• Exempt from indirect cost

  final success of project or any product liability
  
• If required university will sign non-disclosure
  agreement
• Industry will provide liaison engineer support
• University will review project progress regularly
• Project scope will be approximately 600 student
  engineering hours
