Master of Science in Integrated Design and Management in USA

Integrated design is a comprehensive holistic approach to design which brings together specialisms usually considered separately. The aim of integrated building design is often to produce sustainable architecture. Design of both a product (or family of products) and the assembly system that will produce it.

Integrated Design & Management (IDM) is dedicated to enabling the learning and development of extraordinary, innovative leaders who will bring new levels of creativity, vision, and integrity to business and society. It combines the best of designs with analytical business skills and new emerging technologies of engineering field. To achieve balance, the backgrounds of IDM’s student body and faculty are composed of equal parts engineering, business, and design. This balanced, integrated approach has been demonstrated time and again to produce new business paradigms, great products, and the creative courage to solve complex, hard-to-define problems.

IDM’s core curriculum is taught in the Integrated Design Lab (ID Lab), a design studio environment, where interdisciplinary teams will have dedicated team space to practice the human-centered design process, complete with state-of-the-art tools from 3D printers to robotic arms.
