COURSE OBJECTIVES

 To impart knowledge on basic concepts in engineering design.
 To develop a product catering to the need sofa customer and considering quality and societal aspects in design
 To incorporate various design methods to develop a creative product.
 To gain knowledge on the selection of materials and manufacturing techniques for product design.
 To develop a robust and reliable product.

UNIT-I DESIGN FUNDAMENTALS

Importance of design- The design process-Considerations of Good Design – Morphology of design–Organization for design–Computer-Aided Engineering–Designing to codes and standards–Concurrent Engineering–Product and process cycles–Technological Forecasting – Market Identification –Competition Benchmarking

UNIT-II CUSTOMER-ORIENTED DESIGN&SOCIETAL CONSIDERATIONS

Identification of customer needs- customer requirements- Quality Function Deployment- Product Design Specifications-Human Factors in Design–Ergonomics, and Aesthetics, Societal consideration – Contracts – Product liability – Protecting intellectual property – Legal and ethical domains – Codes of ethics – Ethical conflicts – Environment responsible design-future trends in interaction of engineering with society
