ENGR 5011G - Advanced Engineering Design

This course covers the basics of design philosophy, methodology, principles and theory as a foundation for surveying current research areas in the product development process. A brief introduction to concurrent design and life cycle design is followed by addressing the application of the design process to problem solving. The relationship between creativity and the design process is explored by using tools for solving engineering system design and synthesis problems. Computer, mathematical and/or physical modelling of the problem and solution; the axiomatic design approach; Taguchi robust design; design of experiments; and prototyping are strongly emphasized topics.
