     Information on the course:

     Students from a variety of engineering disciplines work in product teams on an industrially sponsored engineering design project. The project teams perform all facets of product and process design. This includes problem identification, planning of the project, formulation of design specifications, the development and evaluation of alternative conceptual designs, the development of detailed designs, the specification of manufacturing processes and the prototyping of manufacturing processes and parts. State of the art facilities for design, prototyping and production are available in the Learning Factory. Students travel to industrial sites to gain an understanding of existing processes and problems and to assess the customer's needs. Project teams are expected to provide interim reports to the sponsor as well as a final project report (including detail design specifications and analyses), oral presentation, and demonstration hardware. 

     Participating courses and departments in this effort are: ME414W (Thermal Systems Design), ME415W (Mechanical Systems Design), EE403W (Senior Design Project) and IE430 (Industry Design Project). Since January of 1995, over 204 projects have been completed.
