杨百翰大学工程与技术学院（COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY）为新的制造工程课程开发了一门名为“集成产品与工艺设计”的高级顶点设计课程。这门为期两学期的课程由机械工程、制造工程和工程技术系的教师共同努力完成。本课程以结构化的产品和过程设计方法为特色，该方法基于质量功能部署设计方法。制造业和机械工程专业的学生分为四到五名学生组成的团队，从事选定的、由工业界赞助的设计项目。这些项目需要功能原型和可制造的生产样品。来自行业的投入已用于开发课程和

A SENIOR CAPSTONE DESIGN COURSE TITLED INTEGRATED PRODUCT AND PROCESS DESIGN HAS BEEN DEVELOPED AS PART OF THE CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT EFFORT FOR THE NEW MANUFACTURING ENGINEERING PROGRAM IN THE COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY AT BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY. THIS TWO-SEMESTER COURSE HAS BEEN A JOINT EFFORT BETWEEN FACULTY FROM THE MECHANICAL ENGINEERING AND MANUFACTURING ENGINEERING AND ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENTS. THIS COURSE FEATURES A STRUCTURED APPROACH TO PRODUCT AND PROCESS DESIGN BASED ON THE QUALITY FUNCTION DEPLOYMENT APPROACH TO DESIGN. STUDENTS FROM BOTH MANUFACTURING AND MECHANICAL ENGINEERING ARE DIVIDED INTO TEAMS OF FROM FOUR TO FIVE STUDENTS EACH AND WORK ON SELECTED, INDUSTRIALLY SPONSORED DESIGN PROJECTS. THESE PROJECTS REQUIRE BOTH FUNCTIONAL PROTOTYPES AND MANUFACTURABLE PRODUCTION SAMPLES. INPUT FROM INDUSTRY HAS BEEN USED IN DEVELOPING THE COURSE AND AN
