Model-based Engineering in the Product Development Lifecycle

3-1-8 units · Graduate

Explores the application of digital design tools in a digital thread of linked applications and a common data structure. Investigates how this environment may improve productivity, collaboration, decision-making, and innovation in product development. Students use industry-standard digital methods and tools to create key design artifacts in a product development project. Periodic design reviews assess design evolution and progress. Students use processes for requirements traceability and management, configuration control, and engineering change management in a multidisciplinary team setting. Concludes with an examination of digital transformation, exploring concepts such as digital thread and digital twins. Students analyze both the opportunities and challenges in digital transformation, including the strategic implementation and potential pitfalls of using model-based engineering methods and tools.
