LEARNING OUTCOMES

On successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

● Identify and respond to varying individual user and customer requirements with flexible and customisable product offerings that are feasible in industrial scale.

● Design and justify concepts for modular product systems and architectures, which generate variation on respects that are relevant, attractive and add value for customers.

● Design product architectures that are based on shared platforms, mass customization, modularity, and flexible manufacturing and logistics solutions, making them aware of and pay attention to the second life of products and design for the recycling of the components of modular products
