The main focus of ME553 is to produce innovators and product design engineers using design thinking frameworks for emerging and evolving markets. Although this is a design course with a final project that culminates in a rudimentary\n prototype, there is no technical course content related to mechanical construction or CAD. Instead, this course focuses on the principles and frameworks used to make good products. If you are not confident with the technical side\n of this process, you will be placed on a team with someone who is.<\/p>\n

The course is a very holistic one that focuses on design thinking through not just learning but also doing. The multi-faceted approach of the course covers both technical and business aspects which immensely helped me in understanding,\n solving, and effectively communicating any problem at hand.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Purdue ME553 was a transformative experience – I gained a tremendous amount of knowledge but I also gained a robust professional network, friendships, and a community. <\/p>\n

The technical and professional knowledge I gained in Product and Process Design was instrumental in helping me take the next step in my career.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

I have been able to use the methods of thinking and framing problems i learnt in ME553 throughout my career. It also helped me gain confidence to then pursue my MBA at Wharton. <\/p>\n

I encourage anyone wanting to have impact in the real world to take this class. It is an eye and mind opener.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I thought the lecture videos were very informative and instructional. I really liked the format and feel of each lecture video and they helped facilitate my learning especially when supplemented with the additional videos. The case studies\n and additional readings provided some great resources and I can see how I will use some of the lessons in the future<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

This is the most organized, and well thought-out course material I have seen in any of my courses. Especially in a distance-learning curriculum, the way that the course material is put together so professionally, and organized is a huge\n asset to the course as a whole and motivates students to dive in to learn and retain the information.<\/p>\n

I think the video lectures, the projects, the case studies, and the supplemental videos with examples are all very valuable and contributed to a very positive course experience.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Fantastic course. I really hope Professor Ramani continues to be as engaging as he was here. He\u2019s genuinely cares about the creativity that was brought to the table this class definitely inspires the entrepreneurial spirit of students<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
