Objectives
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 and PDM systems. The main output of this course is a project 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 convenient.

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 consists in the realization of an evaluation test and an integrating project. This project is carried out in teams of 3 students and developed during the semester using the available software. During its realization all the information produced must be stored and managed, and this management will be subject to evaluation. At the end of the semester a report describing the development of the project should be submitted. Students are evaluated individually.
During the semester, one milestone will be evaluated: M1, which refers to team management and product definition and concerns the selection and use of appropriate support methodologies, having a weight of 20% of the final grade.
The Evaluation Test is mandatory and its grade should be >=7.
The final grade will be calculated by: CF = 0,3 TST+ 0,2 M1 + 0,5 PF
