Engineering and Product Design Processes (Coursera)

Course 1 of 3 in the Rapid Prototyping Using 3D Printing Specialization.

What You Will Learn

Students will analyze how engineering and product design processes are carried out as well as distinguish the steps in both design processes.

Syllabus

WEEK 1

Course Introduction

In this short course, you will learn how engineering design processes and product design processes are carried out. After the course, you will be familiar with the steps in both design processes. You will also be familiar with the main goal of each design process, as well as their similarities and differences.

WEEK 2

Introduction to Design Process

In this module, learners will first be introduced to the course and instructor. Next they will be introduced to the engineering design process and its overall concepts and steps. Finally, they will be guided through further discussions and readings on each step of the engineering design process.

WEEK 3

Design Process II

In this module learners will be introduced to the further details of the engineering design process and then will then be guided through further discussions and readings on additional steps of the engineering design process.

WEEK 4

Product Design Process

In this module learners will be introduced to the product design process and will learn about product design process steps and considerations. They also will learn the differences between the general engineering design process and the product design process.
