MAE 526 Fundamentals of Product Design

3 Credit Hours

The growing body of research in the engineering design community provides approaches for navigating the design of consumer products using interdisciplinary design tools and economic models based on the construct of rational decision making. This course introduces scientific engineering design techniques that are more effective than “ad hoc” tactics. By exploring how engineering principles integrate with “real world” design challenges, students will learn how they can more effectively solve product design problems that encompass heterogeneous markets, multiple disciplines, and complex systems.
