Carnegie Mellon now offers a new degree, the Master's in Product Development.

This new program takes advantage of Carnegie Mellon's rich history in design and long tradition of teaching and researching integrated product development. This new professional degree meets the emerging needs of industry to develop engineers and industrial designers into more accomplished practitioners and managers in the product development process.

The focus of this degree is the creation of physical, functional devices that meet a user's or stakeholder's value expectation. However, many of the skills and knowledge from this program also apply to the development of services, interfaces, and the general creation of any product that meets a value expectation.

This degree is jointly offered by the Department of Mechanical Engineering and the School of Design, with support from the Graduate School of Industrial Administration.
