Description
Product development is the process through which a mechanical product is realized from just an idea into a fully detailed entity ready for production.
This course is an attempt to cover that process at an introductory level covering all the key concepts, ideas and details from a perspective of a Mechanical design engineer.
The course is structured in a way as to build on the product development process step by step . From the way an Idea is generated, incubated, to how a concept is generated, evaluated, how specifications are created and set towards the system design of a product , followed by a overview of activities in Detailed design and prototyping.
Topics covered:
Opportunity identification and product idea generation
What are customer needs?
What are specifications and when are they set ? how are they set?
How are concepts generated?
How to select and score concepts?
Techniques for Generating ideas and concepts
What is modularity? and difference between modular designs and integral designs
What is product architecture along with the example of a Vehicle architecture
Importance of the Engineering drawing in Detail design
Design for X and Design for manufacturing and Assembly
Types of prototypes and the purpose of prototyping
What you will learn from this course?
To understand the overall process of product development and develop a Holistic understanding of how products are developed
