What you will learn

What is the product development process?

Various facets of Idea generation for a new product

Identifying an opportunity for product development

The nuances of Concept evaluation and selection

What is product architecture , system design and detailed design

A Holistic overview of the process with many examples

Why take this course?

Product development is the process through which a mechanical product is realized from just an idea into a fully detailed entity ready for production.

This course is an attempt to cover that process at an introductory level covering all the key concepts, ideas and details from a perspective of a Mechanical design engineer.

The course is structured in a way as to build on the product development process step by step . From the way an Idea is generated, incubated, to how a concept is generated, evaluated, how specifications are created and set towards the system design of a product , followed by a overview of activities in Detailed design and prototyping.

Topics covered:

Opportunity identification and product idea generation
What are customer needs?
What are specifications and when are they set ? how are they set?
How are concepts generated?
How to select and score concepts?
Techniques for Generating ideas and concepts
What is modularity? and difference between modular designs and integral designs
What is product architecture along with the example of a Vehicle architecture
Importance of the Engineering drawing in Detail design
Design for X and Design for manufacturing and Assembly
Types of prototypes and the purpose of prototyping

What you will learn from this course?

To understand the overall process of product development and develop a Holistic understanding of how products are developed
To learn ways of developing ideas, opportunities for new product development
To understand concepts like product architecture, modularity and Interfaces relating to mechanical design.

Not sure what I was expecting exactly, but glad I got the course on sale. Covered the material well, but was kind of a general overview. Packed a lot into 4.5 hours, but I'd be hard pressed to tell you how I will utilize it.

It was really helpful course to take who is willing to thrive in Design engineering and Product development as well

Generally, it is a good course that gives an overall view of product development. Adding some more industrial examples with more details about each step will improve the course.

Reasonably explained with examples of automobiles and bicycles to understand the mechanical design processes. And with rapid-fire talking!

So far, I am beginning to appreciate the importance of each stage to the whole product development process.

The instructor really led me to the world mechanical engineering design right from the corner of my room. I feel more knowledgeable about the industry and I will hopefully find myself a job there some day soon.

The course material is good and just the knowledge I would like to gain. Would love to have a bit more visuals in the slides though.

This internship is very useful for students who aspire to be a design engineer as well as entrepreneur. This gives us a overview of what an engineer's job is.

would be better if all the pages are also given out as notes. so that we dont have to waste time noting down. just a sugestion

Lectures could have been more interactive, like the introduction lecture with background soft music. more exercises must be included.

The course builds on the design process used in the automotive and mass production industries, which is not the reality of many industrial products today. The design phase could explore in more detail other areas such as functional analysis (material, energy and signal model) and the morphological matrix (concept generation). The passage from the concept phase to the detail phase without passing through the embodiment phase departs from the current models of the design process. Using more illustrations could make the course more appealing. In general however, I consider the course to be a good initial approach to the mechanical design process.

it was good, until now each and every lesson briefs about the intent of a design engineer, how a design engineer should consider the various factors before developing a new product, so the narrator has elucidated the topics very very well
