Engineering Design VI

Provides students with "hands-on" experience of management of new product (process) development, which they can use in their senior design projects. Students will study the stages of product (technology) life cycle from concept to discharge of a product. Study includes systems consisting of hardware and software design, manufacturing, testing and installation based on Integrated Product and Process Development (IPPD) model. Different tools for forecasting, optimization and simulation are provided for students to identify the problem, select the project, form the team and prepare proposals suitable for submission to a potential sponsor for the senior design capstone project. Proposal documented according to ISO 9000 Quality Management and ISO 14000 Environment Management Standards.
