ConclusionsIn today’s competitive world, customer satisfaction is a vital goal to be accomplished atan affordable cost. One important factor in customer satisfaction is the effectiveidentification of customer expectations. In this paper the implementation of QFD isdiscussed in an educational scenario, where the principles of QFD are applied tosystematically improve the Manufacturing Engineering curriculum in a Midwest privateinstitution. The method of QFD is able to integrate the voices of various stake holdersinto curriculum development. The voices of

presents an opportunity for curriculum development where ServiceDesign and Development should become an integral part of the design education. Thetopic of service design and development must be viewed as a very important step increating value, delivering satisfaction to the customer and sharpen the competitive edgefor the manufacturers and therefore should become one of the focal points ofundergraduate engineering education.In accordance with the ideas outlined above, a new curriculum is developed to bridge theidentified educational gap by developing and delivering a three credit course called‘Product and Service Design’ in the Summer 2010 term. The developed coursecurriculum is described in detail in this paper. The curriculum includes the

the more established manufacturing industries. Alternative energy and biomedicalmanufacturing were both recognized as very high demand areas. Other areas of recognizedneed were all listed and could be used as a crude ranking of priority nationally, but it does notconsider regional variations. There were a few mismatches between academic and manufacturingpriorities, most notably in automotive and electronics manufacturing. Recommendation: Alternative energy and biomedical manufacturing should be very high priorities. Recommendation: Academics should consider curriculum modifications for automotive and electronics manufacturing.4.
