Credits: (2-2) 4

The course presents useful tools and structured methodologies that support the product development practice and provides a brief introduction to selected systems engineering topics. In addition, 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 plan, conceive, design, and prototype 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 other students in the group.
