ENGS 75 Physical Product Design and Development: Prototype to Production

ENGS 75 is a blended laboratory and lecture course on the practices and analyses that guide the design and development of physical, engineered products.  The scope addresses consumer and industrial mechanical and electro-mechanical products, including those with embedded electronics, biomedical instruments and devices (including drug delivery systems), chemical processing equipment, and more.   Lectures will introduce engineering design and development practices, methods, and tools that are relevant from product inception, through prototyping, and into eventual production.  Emphasis is placed on design for manufacturing, robustness, and environmental impact.  Students will be challenged to synthesize creative and disciplined strategies that apply these practices and methods in each of two design projects.  Working in a team-based environment they will identify needs and value, then plan, design, develop, and test prototypes.  SolidWorks will be used extensively for models of individual components and assemblies.  Students will prepare presentations and written reports of progress and deliverables at key milestones.  Readings from texts and case studies, along with several guest lectures from visiting professionals, are included as well.

Prerequisite

ENGS 21 plus one of the following: ENGS 31, ENGS 32, ENGS 33, ENGS 35, ENGS 36, ENGS 37, or ENGS 56. Experience with SolidWorks is helpful but not required.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
