CIE332 Product Design and Value Engineering Syllabus – Anna University Regulation 2021

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

• Relate product development integrated with value engineering.
• Summarize the development of new products through conceptualization, design and development phases.
• Relate various aspects of product development with industrial design and manufacturing.
• Describe the value of a product using tools and techniques.
• Design products which are suitable for the needs of the society.
