Close
Integrated Product Development I
The first IPD course addresses methodologies and tools to define product development phases and also provides experience working in teams to design high-quality competitive products. Primary goals are to improve ability to reason about design, material, and process alternatives and apply modeling techniques appropriate for different development phases. Topics covered are: user requirements gathering, quality function deployment (QFD), design for assembly, design for materials and manufacturing processes, and optimizing the design for cost and producibility. |
- IPD 602 Integrated Product Development II
Close
Integrated Product Development II
This course builds on the product definition and development processes. It focuses on the implementation of competitive product design and plans for its manufacture along with facilities layout simulation, testing, and service. Project deliverables are comprehensive product, process and testing specifications. Topics include: manufacturing process specifications and planning, process control and optimization, SPC and six sigma process, tolerance analysis, flexible manufacturing, product testing, and rapid prototyping. |
- IPD 611 Simulation and Modeling
Close
Simulation and Modeling
This course emphasizes the development of modeling and simulation concepts and analysis skills necessary to design, program, implement and use computers to solve complex systems/products analysis problems. The key emphasis is on problem formulation, model building, data analysis, solution techniques and evaluation of alternative designs/processes in complex systems/products. Overview of modeling techniques and methods used in decision analysis, including multi-attribute utility models, decision trees, and optimization methods are discussed. |
- IPD 612 Project Management and Organizational Design
Close
Project Management and Organizational Design
This project-based course exposes students to tools and methodologies useful for forming and managing an effective engineering design team in a business environment. Topics covered will include: personality profiles for creating teams with balanced diversity; computational tools for project coordination and management; real time electronic documentation as a critical design process variable; and methods for refining project requirements to ensure that the team addresses the right problem with the right solution. |
