Abstract
We describe an application for the iPhone, the iPod Touch, or the iPad, developed by a group of undergraduate students at the University of Florida, under a University-Industry Cooperation program known as IPPD (Integrated Product and Process Deisgn), sponsored by the entertainment software giant EA (Entertainment Arts), whose flagship product is the Madden NFL video game. We describe the nature of the project and the product being produced, and describe the educational program (IPPD) under which it is being developed.
