, cost, and overallproduct quality. In addition, many of the assignments include design problems that require thestudents to propose alternatives that would result in a better performance at a lower cost.The issues related to manufacturing and cost are addressed in this course by focusing primarilyon designer-controlled elements that influence product design complexity, efficiency, andquality. Many of these issues have been a subject of research by the first author1-3 for severalyears, and have made a natural transition from research to education arena.The design activities culminate in this course with a fairly comprehensive design project with

As noted by other researchers and educators [7, 8] metacognition and reflectionare valuable tools in developing one’s understanding of oneself and internalizing learning.While many of the assignments encourage reflection and evaluation, we also point students toother resources to help them think about themselves as engineers. We have found the CourseraMOOC “Learning How to Learn” [9] particularly helpful in addition to other shorter exercises.Many of these resources are not required as part of the course itself but are encouraged forfurther reflection and success in subsequent

Only those organizations with thehighest quality products, most efficient operations, and the desire to improve will survive, grow,and be profitable. In many cases this means reinventing the organization and this can be aterrifying experience. One proven methodology to accomplish this task is Total QualityManagement (TQM).
