Prerequisite:
CGT 163, ME 200, ME 270. Co-requisite: MA
262, ME 290. The
product design process. Development of product design specifications using customer inputs,
benchmarking, product/market research and patent review. Concept generation and
evaluation using brainstorming, functional decomposition, modeling and decision
matrices. Detailed product design
including assembly, economic analysis, CAD, and bill of materials. Oral and written design reviews. Key skills developed include teamwork,
communication, project planning, innovation, design, and entrepreneurship. Reason:
The proposed new title and course description provides 1) a more
contemporized summary of the course aligned with the Purdue Engineer of 2020
outcomes adopted by the School and 2) the growing emphasis on innovation and
entrepreneurship in the course. E. Daniel Hirleman, Head ME 263 - Introduction to Mechanical Engineering Design Fall 2006 Lecture
