The 2-course Design Methods series addresses systematic methodologies to define, design, develop, and produce competitive products: characterization of user values, quality, design for manufacturability, and for other life-cycle qualities such as reliability, serviceability, and environmental compatibility. Learning is through student team projects that address product issues of concern to industry today.
ME317A focuses on competitive product design. Student teams identify opportunities for improvement in product design and apply structured methodologies to develop a comprehensive product definition.
