Course overview

This class teaches modern tools and methods for product design and development. The
cornerstone is a project in which teams of management, engineering, and industrial
design students conceive, design, and prototype a physical product. The class is
primarily intended for Sloan MBA students (particularly the Entrepreneurship and
Innovation track and the Leaders for Global Operations program) and for MIT
engineering graduate students (particularly mechanical engineering, manufacturing, and
engineering systems masters programs). The course is jointly taught with Rhode Island
School of Design for RISD industrial design students as a senior studio.
