This course presents to the student a generic, iterative project-based process that is used to manage the execution of new product development. The process builds on knowledge from previous project courses and extends the student’s basic knowldege in computer aided design and engineering software applications. What is unique in this specialization course is the development, design and engineering of a product concept that requires the communication and presentation of results from decisions in a variety of forms; verbally, illustratively, textually, physically (i.e. 3D printing and physical modeling) and virtually (i.e. in digital animations).
