ME 262 Product Development

Credits: (2-0) 2

The course presents in a detailed fashion useful tools and structured methodologies that support the product development practice. Also, it attempts to develop in the students the necessary skills and attitudes required for successful product development in today’s competitive marketplace. The cornerstone is a semester-long project in which small teams of students conceive, plan, and design a simple physical product. Each student brings his/her own background to the team effort and must learn to synthesize his/her perspective with those of the students on the team to develop a marketable product. An introduction to manufacturing aspects that must be taken into consideration during product development is provided in context of the project.
