Overview / Usage
PRODUCT-BASED COURSES is a novel way to teach engineering courses by manufacturing a company’s
product from start to finish. It is a way to ensure that the student has practical hands-on experience in the
design, development, and manufacturing of a company’s product so that they are better prepared and
possess the required expertise and experience to work in an engineering company upon graduation. It will
also help students gain integrated working experience with a company better than an internship, and they
will be under the direct supervision of the Professor handling the course.
Product-Based Courses is also a means for Universities to secure collaborations and partner with
engineering companies in the Industry. The Product Selected for the course depends on the Industry the
Engineering company is involved in.
A Product-Based Course is completed within 14 weeks to easily be scheduled into a University’s academic
semester. Grading is focused on the student’s ability to manufacture a unit of the company’s engineering
product, conduct quality research on the company’s product and to be Innovative in an Engineering Sense.
Typical Grading Structure for a Product-Based Course is shown below:
➢ Milestone 1 (20%) - Was the student able to manufacture the company’s product and demonstrate
the operation of Tier 1 features of the product?
➢ Milestone 2 (20%) - Was the student able to manufacture the company’s product and demonstrate
the operation of Tier 2 features of the product?
➢ Product Research and Publication (20%) - The Student is assigned a research topic on the
company’s product and is expected to prepare a publication based on the results obtained.
➢ Product Demonstration and Presentation (20%) - The Student will give a Final PowerPoint
Presentation on their designed company product and physically demonstrate the working of the
product to the Professor.
Because this is a Practical-Based Course, the Students are assigned Teaching Assistants (TAs) who
provide them with PowerPoint presentations on the Design Task to be completed each week for the
14-week duration. And after each class taught, the Students are required to submit a Physical Video
showing the working of the company product that they have designed, and a 5-Slide Powerpoint
Presentation.
