ENGINEERING & PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT ONLINE
Engineers address society's needs and problems by designing and producing products and services. The field is diverse and includes Christian professionals who design skyscrapers, design machinery, oversee public works, and develop software and systems.
The purpose of this course is to provide an overview of the concepts of product engineering and development from a Christ-centered perspective. Students will analyze the life cycle of a product to prepare it for distribution and target markets. The course begins with building an understanding of the product life cycle, from the initial idea to drafting |
requirements to using 3-D modeling tools and other design tools. The final unit focuses on assembling project plan pieces for a product and evaluating the plans for a successful product launch. In addition, the course will provide information about the different careers available to students interested in engineering, product development, and project management, as well as, organizations that provide encouragement to Christian engineers.
This course requires substantial independent work with research and writing related to projects which are required to complete the course. Be prepared to do such work throughout the course. A student will be unable to pass the course without completing the research, analysis, and writing portion of this course successfully.
Assignments in this course place a strong emphasis on student inquiry, research, and writing, and much of the assessment is based on writing projects.
