Engineering Feats and Failures (1 credit hours)
Unfortunately, many great ideas do not provide the benefits or revenues that the inventors imagine they should, or for economic reasons they never get the chance to prove themselves.  Creating a new product design requires developing a good practical idea and taking all the necessary steps to prove its technical and economic feasibility.  This course describes and illustrates by case examples some of the reasons that an otherwise great idea may never see the light of day.  Insurmountable obstacles can arise unexpectedly and destroy the best of plans.  It is in the engineer’s interest to avoid going down a design rabbit hole, wasting time and company resources on a product idea that will not be profitable.
