As the demands of the marketplace continually change, the design and manufacturing fields must adapt - and, with advances in technology, they are able to do so faster than ever. This program explores newly developed materials and production processes that are leading to an ever-wider variety of manufactured goods. Topics include the basic principles of human wants and needs; the role of conceptual and technical innovation in design, as well as in production; the use of robotics and automated systems; and the impact that social and environmental issues have on design and manufacturing. Viewable/printable educational resources are available online.
