The Integrated Product Design program (IPD) is a joint initiative between us here at PennDesign, Engineering and Wharton. This winter the program partnered with IDe Global in their travels to Guatemala to understand the needs of coffee farmers. Students met with the farmers and were introduced to the field and daily work for hands on experience on facing challenges that these farmers experience. Students then came up with product ideas and prototypes to present to the farmers. This sounds like such an interesting project! If you are interested in a masters in the IPD program please visit the school of Engineering here. PennDesign offers a certificate in IPD, check it out!
