Course description: This course will introduce students to the tooling and materials used in new product development. Students will learn about metallic and non-metallic materials used in the design of tooling. Emphasis will be placed on the lean development of tooling and how to integrate suppliers to reduce overall cost of product development.

– New Product Development 103 – Tooling & Materials for New Product Development
	Partial Course content Physical and chemical properties of materials. Purpose of tooling design Construction principles Design economics Developing the initial design
Partial Course objectives Analyze product development process Evaluate techniques for concept generation Rate product concepts Evaluate the impact of various designs Predict product costs

Learning Outcomes

Students will be able to produce a viable tooling design for a product of their choice. The design will include tooling plan, product needs evaluation, product specification including materials to be used, concept generation, concept selection, and a plan for manufacturability and/or procurement.
