ENGR 5275G - Design for Product End of Life


This course covers the environmental consciousness of product design in a variety of industries such as the electronics industry where rapid technology cycles make products obsolete at staggering rates. Product end-of-life management is a growing problem in all industrialised countries. The progressive shortening of the effective useful life, as a result of technological obsolescence, causes serious difficulties in ensuring adequate forms of disposal for the millions of products disposed each year. This course examines disassembly and recycling technologies, which are used when the product reaches the end of its useful life. Design for Disassembly (DfD) and Design for Recycling (DfR) techniques are studied for disposal or re-cycling of products.
Credit hours: 3
