Course Goals / Objectives:
Provide the student with a thorough understanding of the entire product design process: from the initial inception of a concept based on user needs through system and detail design to product fabrication.
Gain an appreciation for the roles played by disciplines other than engineering in the development of products, such as industrial design and marketing.
Understand product system architecture, and how it can enable or impede rapid product evolution and the development of flexible product portfolios
Understand the basic tenets of design for assembly, disassembly, and manufacturing
