PR8072 New Product Development Syllabus:
PR8072 New Product Development Syllabus – Anna University Regulation 2017
Objectives:
• This course aims at introducing the students to the basic concepts of engineering design and product development with focus on the front-end processes.
• At the end of this course the student is expected to demonstrate an understanding of the overview of all the product development processes and knowledge of concept generation and selection tools.
