Interdisciplinary Product Design Projects I

Readings

• There are two required text books for this course, listed below. Reading assignments from each are due on the second class session, so please be sure to have the texts at the beginning of class. There will be one set of books on reserve in the Main Library. We also have a few sets available for students to borrow for the duration of the course if purchasing the books is difficult for you. 1) Product Design and Development (5th or 6th edition) by Steven Eppinger and Karl Ulrich ISBN 978-0073404776 Available through Norris Bookstore 2) Business Communication: Polishing Your Professional Presence (4th or 3rd edition)* by Barbara Shwom and Lisa Gueldenzoph Snyder ISBN-13: 978-0134740225 (or 978-0134740850 for student value version) Available through Norris Bookstore Also available through Coursesmart (wait until first day of class to start 180 day ebook rental)https://www.vitalsource.com/products/business-communication-barbara-g-shwom-v9780134740829 *Please note - you do NOT need the MyBCommLab addition. These books will be used for both DSGN 384-1 and 384-2 and there will be no additional books needed for the second quarter. We strongly encourage you to get the hard copies of the books as they will be valuable resources even after you graduate and begin working. This is especially true if you expect to be going into the field of product development or if you plan to manage projects. In addition, the Product Design and Development book is the same text that is used in DSGN 308 and ME 398, though with a different emphasis in each class.
