For further information see https://ocw.mit.edu/terms/index.htm Toy Product Design is an introduction to the product design process with a focus on designing for play and entertainment. It is a project-centric class offered in the Spring semester. Students work in small teams of 5–6 members to design and prototype new toys. Students will be introduced to various design topics, including: brainstorming; estimation; sketching; graphic design; drawing and marker rendering; sketch modeling; concept development; design aesthetics; prototyping; and written, visual, and oral communication. https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mechanical-engineering/2-00b-toy-product-design-spring-2021 Spring 2021 Wallace, David 2022-01-19T15:16:15+05:00 2.00B en-US toy toy design product design graphic design system design sketch model prototype innovation automato teach science teach engineering dental hygiene MIT OpenCourseWare https://ocw.mit.edu Content within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted. MIT OpenCourseWare materials are licensed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology under a Creative Commons License (Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike). For further information see https://ocw.mit.edu/terms/index.htm In this hands-on undergraduate class, students work in large teams of approximately 15-20 individuals to design and build working alpha prototypes of new products. The course is designed to emulate what engineers might experience as part of a design team in a modern product development firm. The large teams must work effectively to realize this task, so students also learn about group dynamics, team roles and management, consensus building, and the value of communication.  Each year there is a broad theme which serves as a launching point for new product opportunities. At the end of the course, teams present their work to a live audience of ~1100 practicing product designers, entrepreneurs, academics, and classmates, as well as a significant live webcast audience—in the tens of thousands. Key Goals: To improve creative-thinking capability. To improve ability to identify significant product opportunities, and to develop appropriate solutions through a structured product development process. To improve expertise in constructing models for reasoning about design alternatives. These include estimations, sketches, sketch models, spreadsheets, geometric models, mockups, and prototypes. To improve engineering expertise and proficiency in techniques for building high-quality product models and prototypes. To learn about and experience structured methods for working in large teams on a project that requires teamwork to be successful. To improve presentation skills using a wide variety of media. To develop an understanding of, and enthusiasm for, the engineering activities involved with designing a new product. To develop an appreciation for the significance of societal contributions that can be made as a technological innovator. https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mechanical-engineering/2-009-product-engineering-process-fall-2021 Fall 2021 Wallace, David 2022-01-14T15:39:39+05:00 2.009 en-US product design product engineering innovation design teams team dynamics product development opportunity identification market research mock-ups prototypes new product opportunities sketch models MIT OpenCourseWare https://ocw.mit.edu Content within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

For further information see https://ocw.mit.edu/terms/index.htm Mechanical forces play a decisive role during development of tissues and organs, during remodeling following injury as well as in normal function. A stress field influences cell function primarily through deformation of the extracellular matrix to which cells are attached. Deformed cells express different biosynthetic activity relative to undeformed cells. The unit cell process paradigm combined with topics in connective tissue mechanics form the basis for discussions of several topics from cell biology, physiology, and medicine. https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mechanical-engineering/2-785j-cell-matrix-mechanics-fall-2014 Fall 2014 Spector, Myron Yannas, Ioannis 2015-05-04T17:51:28+05:00 2.785J 3.97J 20.411J HST.523J en-US 2.785J 2.785 3.97J 3.97 20.411J 20.411 HST.523J HST.523 cell matrix mechanics tissue organ development injury stress field cell function deformed cells biosynthetic activity unit cell connective tissue cell biology physiology medicine cytoplasm extracellular matrix skeleton bone MIT OpenCourseWare https://ocw.mit.edu Content within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.
