Description:

Product development is both an organisational and a technological challenge. It requires identifying needs, making decisions under uncertainty, balancing objectives, and combining materials, digital tools, and engineering knowledge, to create genuinely useful, valuable products. The programme prepares you for the full span of that process, and the entire lifecycle of products.

The opening courses include product development management, and advanced CAD, as well as AI in digital geometric modelling. A course in product planning then addresses how needs and market opportunities are identified and structured into development decisions.
