Designing for Lower Cost Parts (1 credit hours)
Creating a low cost part design does not mean cutting corners to compromise safety and performance.  Every engineer must be aware of the first canon of ethics, to hold paramount the safety and well-being of the public.  Reliability, like safety, will always be an important item in mechanical part design criteria.  The reliability of the new design can be enhanced by careful design and prudent component and material selection.  There are some basic rules for low cost design.  This course explores how these basic cost cutting principles can be applied to part designs.
