Individual capstone product design project. Students will work individually to develop their own particular product line with a minimum of two products spanning at least two different formulations (ie. a liquid product and a powder, or a gel and a tablet, etc). Students will write specifications, and then design production methods and final formulations to meet these requirements. Product prototypes for these two products will be produced in the laboratory and proof-of-concept demonstrated, along with high-quality printed materials (packaging, labels, etc). A preliminary economic analysis and marketing strategy will be devised.
By the end of the course you will:Be able to define a set of product specifications for a product line, generate a number of new product concepts to meet these and evaluate these to choose candidates that best meets the design specifications.Have had hands-on experience in creating high-quality product prototypes and testing them against design specifications.Be able to carry out a preliminary economic analysis and devise a marketing strategy for the products.Be able to write a detailed report detailing the design process, approach and outcomes.
