Abstract
This paper presents development of an integrated web-based rapid prototyping and product design course in the online Master of Science degree in engineering technology core discipline. The topics are aligned with a current trend for rapid product realization and information-integrated product design systems in industry, which currently includes rapid prototyping coupled with computer aided product design and development that provides zero-lead times in product conception and development. The main goal of the developed course is to simulate this real-life engineering development experience for our online graduate students who will work in teams to develop consumer products and at the end able to produce Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) plastic prototypes using web-based remote log-in capability of the rapid prototyping machine. Hardware and software components are integrated with prototyping methodologies to achieve maximum effectiveness in teaching web-based prototyping concepts in ET615-Rapid Prototyping and Product design. The course includes theory and application of rapid prototyping technologies for new product conceiving, designing, manufacturing and testing. It also addresses the importance and examples of product design modeling and virtual prototyping. A survey of modern tools of digital prototyping and basics of solid modeling and Computer Aided Design-CAD technologies for prototyping are provided.
