Description
In this course, students will gain hands-on, practical experience applying engineering principles, theories, thought processes, and problem-solving approaches to the design and prototyping of a physical product. Students will develop skills for working in teams, working with open-ended problems, and making appropriate engineering assumptions. Students are expected to research the topic area, identify opportunities and design criteria, generate creative concepts, synthesize detailed design of the concept, analyze the design on a number of criteria to make improvements, and prototype and communicate the final solution.
Topics
While most courses in the mechanical engineering curriculum focus on structured transfer of theoretical knowledge in analysis of mechanical phenomena, this course aims to provide students with a chance to build complimentary experiential knowledge in application and synthesis. Topics covered will include product development and design process, stakeholder research, social and cultural awareness, project planning, value opportunity analysis, concept generation techniques, design selection matrices, prototyping, product dissection, intellectual property, quality function deployment, professionalism, ethics, design for manufacturing and assembly, design for environment, life cycle analysis, failure mode and effects analysis, computer aided design and engineering drawings, appropriate tolerance selection, optimization, machine components, industrial design and economic analysis.
