Objectives
Description:
Transmit knowledge about the new paradigms of Integrated Product Development and Concurrent Engineering. The course also deals with the enabling technologies to apply those paradigms, namely CAD, CAE, CAM, CAPP, PDM systems. The main output of this course is a project work developed by the student along the semester applying and using all the referred to technologies.
Knowledge
- Fundamental principles of Integrated Product Development (IPD)
-Enabling technologies for IPD
- Organization and Management of product data (PDM)
- Team organization and management.
Do
- Solution evaluation and selection of the adequate technologies
- Use specialized software to support the case studies of product development
- Team work management
Soft skills
- Team work
- Time management
- Technical writing
- Oral presentations
- Develop critical thinking
Prerequisites
Previous frequency of the DAC course is wellcome.

Teaching method
The teaching includes Lectures and Tutorial sessions. In the lectures can be done through presentations or demonstrations, in those cases that involve the different envisaged technologies. Discussion will be motivated involving case studies. In the tutorial classes the students will develop skills in the use of the differents technological systems, namelly CAD, CAM, PDM and others.
Evaluation method
The evaluation is continuous and consist of an Assessment Test (Tst) and a Final Project (PF).
The Assessment Test (Tst) has a weight of 25% for the final classification.
The Final Project is evaluated in two phases: Phase 1 (PI) weighed with 15% and Phase 2 (PF) with a weight of 60%.
The final grade will be calculated by: CF = 0,25 Tst + 0,15 PI + 0,6 PF
