Description
Students taking this certificate will use innovative processes to develop products and ideas. Recognition of materials and processes used to manufacture an array of product will be investigated. Students will make decisions on material and process selection for new products; keeping cost, manufacturability, application and life cycle in mind. Exploration of several tools used in the lean manufacturing arena as well as problem-solving tools will be identified. Rapid product development tools and techniques will be identified and demonstrated. Students will use the tools and techniques learned in the classes on a two-part project; the first part will use the innovation process to identify and define opportunities, in the second part, students will develop working prototypes and present their product/idea to the student body within Washtenaw Community College. This program will give students at Washtenaw Community College a good insight to tools and concepts found inside manufacturing companies. The experience gained from the two-part project will be captured in a student portfolio.
