This document outlines the "Introduction to Mechanical Engineering Design" course (ME 2700) at Iowa State University. It details the course structure, objectives, and a semester-long team project focused on creating a "micro-economy kit" for developing nations. The course utilizes the Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) methodology, specifically the DMADVR phases (Define, Measure, Analyze, Design, Verify, Report), and introduces various engineering design tools and processes. Key topics include project charter development, customer requirements, market analysis, concept generation, design failure mode and effects analysis (DFMEA), engineering drawings, prototyping, testing, and final reporting. Sustainability is a core theme, emphasizing social, economic, and environmental considerations.
