A Course Project With A Focus On Product Development Process

Abstract

He received the BS degree in biomedical engineering (1988), the MS degree in biomedical engineering (1992), and the Ph.D. in biomedical engineering (1995) from Texas A&M University. After finishing his Ph.D., he was a lecturer in the Bioengineering Program and the Department of Engineering Technology at Texas A&M University. In August 1996, he joined the Electronics Engineering Technology faculty at Texas A&M University. His research activities include mixed-signal testing, analog circuit design and biomedical electronics.

Product and System Development: Creating a New Focus for an Electronics Engineering Technology Program

“…Once the students are comfortable with the technical process, they will then take a course in the junior year that addresses the less technical side of product development. While there had been previous efforts to teach product development concepts in the curriculum 7 , this course (the tentative syllabus can be seen in Table 3) presents more formally the administrative, customer Page 25.1071.10 and business aspects of product development. By having students take this in their junior year they will be able to integrate this knowledge into their capstone project.…”
