About Integrated Innovation

The Integrated Innovation Institute at Carnegie Mellon University breaks down the silos that impede innovation. The Institute believes that by uniting the disciplines of engineering, business and design we can create build impactful product and service solutions that create real value for real people.

For over 30 years, the institute has imparted to students a tried-and-true methodology to innovating products and services. Through dynamic projects, students learn to create solutions that: function effectively with the right technologies (engineering); improve the lives of individuals (design); and create economic value in the marketplace (business).

Program Options

Students who elect Engineering Design, Innovation & Entrepreneurship (EDIE) as a major must also declare a major in one of the traditional engineering disciplines:

• Chemical Engineering
• Civil Engineering
• Electrical & Computer Engineering
• Environmental Engineering
• Materials Science & Engineering
• Mechanical Engineering

The curriculum, demanding but readily feasible to complete in four years, is highly rewarding to motivated students.

Common Requirements for the Additional Major

The EDIE additional major program takes advantage of curricular overlaps between EDIE and traditional engineering majors, such that the additional major can be completed in four years with only a modest increase in course requirements. The courses requirements for EDIE consist of  foundational skills, Engineering Design and Innovation, Engineering Entrepreneurship and two capstone experiences. The foundational skill courses focus on the fundamentals of microeconomics and public speaking. With core courses in engineering design, innovation and entrepreneurship are designed for engineers to learn with engineers, building on the fundamentals in their primary degree. Finally, students complete two capstone courses to explore real-world applications.

The additional major in Engineering Design, Innovation & Entrepreneurship should be declared at the same time when declaring a traditional engineering major.

Some courses for the EDIE additional major may also satisfy requirements for traditional engineering courses or for general education courses.

About Course Numbers:

Each Carnegie Mellon course number begins with a two-digit prefix that designates the department offering the course (i.e., 76-xxx courses are offered by the Department of English). Although each department maintains its own course numbering practices, typically, the first digit after the prefix indicates the class level: xx-1xx courses are freshmen-level, xx-2xx courses are sophomore level, etc. Depending on the department, xx-6xx courses may be either undergraduate senior-level or graduate-level, and xx-7xx courses and higher are graduate-level. Consult the Schedule of Classes each semester for course offerings and for any necessary pre-requisites or co-requisites.
