Description:

4.00 credits MOB 3578 Product Design and Development General Credit Catalog Course Description: This project-based course takes you in cross-functional teams (from business, engineering, and industrial design) through the entire process of product development from market and customer needs analysis to product design and engineering to prototype manufacturing. In this course you will work in teams comprised of students from Babson College, Olin College, and the Rhode Island School of Design. You will experience the entrepreneurial situation in which you have to find your way from identifying a market opportunity to presenting a customer-ready prototype. Along the way you will learn to solicit input from potential customers, to develop, select and refine new concepts for a novel solution, to design and manufacture prototypes of increasing degrees of fidelity, to explore various designs, to wrestle with multiple technical and economic tradeoffs, and to do all that in a team with diverse backgrounds and skill sets. "The location of class meetings will rotate among all three schools. Transportation to class will be provided, but additional meetings with team members will require travel to RISD - approximately 1 hr from Babson. On the days when the class meets at RISD (approx. 5 times per semester), travel time needs to be available before and after class." Prerequisites: IME3 or OEM
