Course description

The InnovationSpace program provides senior-level students with a unique opportunity to complete a real-world product-development project. Using the Integrated Innovation model, teams of top undergraduate students from business, engineering, industrial design, visual communication design and sustainability spend two semesters researching, developing and refining product concepts. Their work includes

• exploring user, societal and environmental needs;
• analyzing market trends and consumer demand; and,
• investigating new technologies.

All final products are accompanied by proof-of-concept and appearance models as well as detailed Innovation Proposals. These proposals summarize user research; present a product concept; provide engineering specifications; outline a product-communication strategy; chart a comprehensive business plan; and detail a comprehensive roadmap for sustainability.

If you want to:

• contribute to a better society
• engage with top-performing students in other disciplines
• learn from top-notch faculty and real-world corporate mentors
• acquire valuable experience in crossfunctional teamwork
• gain a solid grounding in how to commercialize a product

then InnovationSpace is for you!
