Course Overview

Designing modern products and systems in an innovative, sustainable and
competitive way demands the implementation of new paradigms in
development organisations. Design is no longer concentrated on a
specific phase. It goes beyond aesthetics to cover all functional
aspects of a product or a system, thus driving the entire development
process. Consequently, more and more actors of the complete product
life-cycle have to be integrated in the design process. This creates new
challenges for design engineers, as well as for development project
managers. This course adresses all these challenges looking at examples
from the design of automotive mechatronic systems.
