Interdisciplinary Graduation Project (iGP)

What is iGP?

iGP is an Interdisciplinary Graduation project that is held on an annual basis for senior undergrads. Conventional stand-alone departmental GPs have been held since universities began and are still going on. The difference with iGPs is that it is uniting the efforts of many of these stand-alone GPs to be towards ONE common product. Each year, one or more visionary engineering products will be selected. A business plan will be created for each, and each product will be divided into smaller components that will each become an iGP module. The goal is to integrate all of these modules successfully into a complete working ​prototype.
