22-3710 Product Design V

Course focuses on the development and subsequent testing and refinement of a new product. Students research and develop a new product resulting in a working prototype to be field tested, videotaped, and analyzed. Based on this analysis, refinements are made and product is prototyped again and re-tested. Students work with CAD/CAM software or rapid prototyping to develop the original prototype, thereby learning the refinement process and the flexibility of parametric design database. Course introduces case studies along with methods of field-testing, videotaping, and compiling information into a visual database for presentation.
