The co-founders of EcoTech Marine may have recently graduated from Lehigh Univerity, but they're still champions of its Integrated Product Development (IPD) program. The coral reef hobbyists and tech-savvy entrepreneurs are just one of hundreds of Lehigh students to pass through IPD, a highly-collaborative undergraduate experiment that has made considerable contributions to the marketplace. Like the saltwater pumps developed by EcoTech Marine, which has come full circle in becoming the newest corporate sponsor of the IPD program (they keep good company: GM, NASA and a few other pioneering corporations are part of the mix, too). Listen to our story.

Located just a short drive from New York and Philadelphia, Lehigh University is in a unique position to evolve along with the business community.
It’s why we focus on closely integrating our curriculum with Lehigh’s three other colleges and, in particular, the P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science.
In fact, well over half of all undergraduate students participate in team projects that cross colleges. "We do the fundamentals really well here at Lehigh," says Paul Brown, dean of the College of Business and Economics. "But the next generation of business leaders needs to be innovative and collaborative, and that’s what we bring to the table in ways you can’t find anywhere else."
To get a sense of why Lehigh’s been so successful at cross-disciplinary education, take a few minutes to read more about three other rather unconventional programs:
Computer Science and Business
The only undergraduate program of its kind.
Integrated Business and Engineering
An honors program for tech-savvy individuals
