Robust system design

Lectures: 3 sessions / week, 1 hour 50 minutes/ session

This course was created for the "product development" track of MIT's System Design and Management Program (SDM) in conjunction with the Center for Innovation in Product Development.

This course will be designed to accommodate the new SDM split summer format. The students will be on campus for the first 5 weeks and back at their companies for the last five weeks. The first five weeks will therefore be accelerated to help students balance the workload more evenly over the summer.

The course will require a substantial, team-based design project. The goal will be to define industrially relevant design projects in the SDM sponsor companies and at MIT. Teams will document their efforts in a written report and make a formal presentation of their results.
