Product Development Process |
This course reviews the basic elements in the product development process and project management. Students will learn how business and engineering interrelate to develop and commercially manufacture new products. Students will form multidisciplinary teams and explore new product opportunities. Prereq: Consent of instructor. (Same as Mechanical Engineering 504.). |

| IE 506 |
Product Selection and Evaluation |
Student teams will develop operational requirements and features for a new product, which has the potential for a business venture. Market potential, design feasibility and manufacturing requirements are considered. Design alternatives will be created and evaluated against a set of performance requirements determined from market analysis. A preferred product concept will be selected by the end of the semester. Prereq: 504 (Same as Mechanical Engineering 506). |

Integrated Product, Process and Manufacturing System Design |
Overview of different manufacturing system configurations. Relationships between product design and processing requirements, design specifications and manufacturing costs. Finalizing design specifications and selecting processes. Analysis of manufacturing system costs. Presentation of factors affecting manufacturing system design. Case studies and team projects. Prerequisites: Consent of Instructor. Prereq: 504 (Same as Mechanical Engineering 508). |

Project Management |
This course provides the venue for multidisciplinary student teams to coordinate the design and manufacturing tasks of the product to be developed. Project management (budget and schedule), assignment of tasks for team members, and concurrent design and manufacturing will be emphasized. Design concepts and product features will be reviewed by potential customers/investors. May be repeated. Maximum 3 hrs. (Same as Mechanical Engineering 509). |

Advanced Topics in Manufacturing Systems |
Addresses advanced topics in manufacturing systems. Setup time reduction, strategies for improving asset reliability, strategies for improving product quality, implementing pull execution systems, analysis of finite capacity scheduling systems, rate-based planning, mixed model scheduling, supplier and distribution integration issues. Prereq: Consent of instructor. |

Business Planning and Commercialization |
Addresses the complex issues concerning product development and business planning required to deliver a new product from concept to market. The course will address strategic issues that emerge during the product development cycle, beginning with concept to product development to commercialization to eventual product introduction or dismissal. At the conclusion of this course, one should realize and understand good management practices for successful product development and product management. Prereq: Consent of instructor. |

Process Development and Business Planning |
Review of manufacturing process technologies available to cost-effectively produce specific new products that have been identified and designed. Includes product cost estimating, estimating capital cost requirements and justification, capacity analysis, layout and design of facilities, identification of potential suppliers, and the finalization of a business plan. Prereq: IE 511. |

Culminating Integrated Project Report |
This course will constitute the final phase of the product development process if the student is in the Product Development and Manufacturing option. In this case multidisciplinary student teams will submit and defend a comprehensive project report associated with their product selected for development. The report will include all the engineering and business considerations that are needed to convince potential investors to fund the proposed business venture. If the student has selected the Manufacturing Systems Engineering option, the project will be performed in conjunction with local industry. Teams of industrial engineers will be assigned a project based on the needs of a manufacturing or supply chain oriented organization and will be responsible for bringing the assigned project to completion over the allowed time frame. Deliverables will be identified at the beginning of the project and both the management of the organization and faculty advisors must agree that all requirements have been met before the solution is accepted. Prereq: Consent of instructor.(Same as Mechanical Engineering 594). |
