This course focuses on making certain that a design, whether mechanical, mechatronic or aerospace, can also be successfully manufactured, from a quality as well as cost perspective. The key concept is the ability to translate functional requirements of a design into detailed subsystem-, equipment- and ultimately component-level specifications. Topics include quality function deployment (QFD), value analysis, value engineering, robust design theory, axiomatic design, design for assembly, tolerancing, metrology, and jig and fixture design for different levels of automation and manufacturing processes.
