4.00 Credits
This course introduces the principles utilized in the early phase of the design process. Topics include the process of generating and formulating an idea, developing a Voice of the Customer (VOC) survey, utilizing a House of Quality (HOQ) matrix for developing a product requirements document, brainstorming and ranking concepts through the Plough Concept Selection Matrix technique, among others. Patenting and intellectual property issues will be discussed and selected ideas will be evaluated against patent searches. This is planned to be the fi rst in a series of three courses that will result in the completion of a product utilizing these methods. (Third year status or permission of instructor. Class 4, Credit 4

3.00 Credits
This course is designed to offer the student an experience of what it is like to develop an idea into a real product. In this second of three courses the student will be responsible for taking the info from a previously selected concept and developing that into a working design. This design process will require the student to perform a design feasibility study , develop a product specifi cations document, and be responsible for defi ning a preliminary manufacturing and assembly feasibility assessment. CAD will now be the "tool-of-choice" whereall work will be documented and handled with a standard release procedure that parallels industry protocols. It is expected that this product phase will require the implementation of many foundation principles from previous courses. (Third year status or permission from the instructor). Class 3, Credit 4

4.00 Credits
This course is intended to offer the student an experience of what it is like to develop an idea into a real product. In this third of three courses the student will be responsible for taking a project that is in the fi nal design phase (from the Development and Design of New Products course) and provide the support necessary to develop models and working prototypes. The student will be responsible for applying Design, Manufacturing, and Assembly analysis along with other appropriate disciplines such as Value Analysis and Process control. The results of these disciplines will guide the student into developing a fabrication process that will actually produce products at a reasonable quantity to sell. The student will also be responsible for setting up test procedures and evaluating the product for robustness according to a Product Specifi cation Document.

This course is intended for 4th or 5th year students interested in understanding fundamental instrumentation used for the characterization of plastics. Major emphasis is on interplay between analytical and experimental methods in the solution and development of plastic products. In addition to theory and basic principles, the instrumentation and apparatus necessary for methods are examined in polymer permeability testing, and characterization by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TG A), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and mechanical testing in an environmental chamber.

4.00 Credits
The design and use of force, torque, pressure, fl ow, temperature, acceleration, velocity and displacement instrument transducers. Laboratory experiments demonstrate calibration and set-up techniques and analysis of data. Principles of uncertainty, dynamic response, signal conditioning and computerized data acquisition are explained. (0609-411, 1016-304) Class 4, Credit 4
-
1.00 Credits
The application of thermodynamics to vapor power cycles, internal combustion engines, compressors, refrigeration, air conditioning, psychometrics and combustion processes are studied. Emerging technologies such as distributed generation, cogeneration and total energy plants are covered. (0610-440) Class 3, Lab 1, Credit 4
-
4.00 Credits
Principles and applications of refrigeration, air conditioning, comfort heating and ventilating are studied. Thermodynamics of air conditioning processes, psychometrics, moisture calculations and load estimating and operating costs are covered. (0610-440, 460) Class 4, Credit 4
-
4.00 Credits
Technical, management and cost aspects of energy conservation. Technical aspects of reducing energy consumption in utilities, processes, buildings, heating, air conditioning and ventilation systems. Special topics such as furnace effi ciency, heat recovery, heat pumps, pumping and piping, and architectural considerations. (0610-542 or permission of instructor) Class 4, Credit 4
-
2.00 Credits
Dynamic modeling of land vehicles, including tire mechanics and suspension and steering systems. Both cars and motorcycles will be analyzed, modeled and tested. Students will develop computer models and do physical testing for real vehicles. (0610-405) Class 3 Lab 2, Credit 4
-
4.00 Credits
The fundamental principles of robust design are developed. The history of the robust design engineering methodology is presented. The concepts of the loss function, concept selection, parameter design and tolerance design are covered in detail. A structured design engineering methodology is taught with strict attention to the importance of linking engineering knowledge to Taguchi's approach to designed experiments. Metrics and analysis techniques are developed to optimize the performance of product or process components in spite of the variability of their design, manufacturing or customer use environments. Specifi c attention is paid to a number of case studies to reinforce the students' conceptualization of the methods and their focus on engineering of optimized products and processes. (Fifth year student or department approval) Class 4, Credit 4
