| Description: | Mechanical Engineering Module in the Freshman/ Sophomore Design and Analysis course at UC Berkeley. Module description: How do engineers design successful, sustainable products? Students in this module will follow the human-centered design process to investigate the needs of undergraduate university housing stakeholders and develop sustainable solutions. This sustainable product development process includes customer needs analyses, conceptual design, prototyping, testing and life cycle analyses. Various prototyping tools will be available, including our new rapid prototyping equipment. Students can expect to finish this module with an understanding of what sustainability means, how designers draw from sustainability concepts, and the process used to generate and evaluate sustainable solutions. Funding will be available for design development and prototyping. |
