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.
Provide the background necessary to critically analyze products and product concepts
Understand the role that engineered products play in our culture
Exposure to the local design and entrepreneurship community through guest speakers
Students will gain an appreciation for the roles played by disciplines other than engineering in the development of products, such as industrial design and marketing.
Students will understand product system architecture, and how it can enable or impede rapid product evolution and the development of flexible product portfolios.
Students will understand the basic tenets of design for assembly, disassembly and manufacturing.
