151-0077-11L	VIEshunt Prerequisite: Enrollment for 151-0077-10L VIEshunt in HS21.	14 credits	15A	M. Meboldt
Abstract	Students develop and build a product from A-Z! They work in teams and independently, learn to structure problems, to identify solutions, system analysis and simulations, as well as presentation and documentation techniques. They build the product with access to a machine shop and state of the art engineering tools (Matlab, Simulink, etc).
Learning objective	The various objectives of the Focus Project are: - Synthesizing and deepening the theoretical knowledge from the basic courses of the 1. - 4. semester - Team organization, work in teams, increase of interpersonal skills - Independence, initiative, independent learning of new topic contents - Problem structuring, solution identification in indistinct problem definitions, searches of information - System description and simulation - Presentation methods, writing of a document - Ability to make decisions, implementation skills - Workshop and industrial contacts - Learning and recess of special knowledge - Control of most modern engineering tools (Matlab, Simulink, CAD, CAE, PDM)
Content	Several teams of 4-8 students of the ETH as well as students from other universities realize a product during two semesters. On the basis of a vision and provocative problem definition, all processes of product development are beat down close-to-reality: conception, design, engineering, simulation, draft and production. The teams are coached by experienced staff who gives them the possibility of a unique learning experience. Innovative ideas of the research labs of the ETH, of industrial partners or students are selected and realized by the teams.
151-0300-00L	Innovation Project	2 credits	2U	M. Meboldt
Abstract	The students are going through a product development process starting with the first idea to the functional product. The participants will learn to work on a complex development task in a team (4-5 pers.), to structure a given problem, to generate and evaluate ideas as well as the design and realization of the product with subsequent verification.
Learning objective	The students learn and experience the principles of product development. In addition to acquiring development methodical responsibilities, the main focus is on working together as a team. The participants are taught how to structure a complex development objective and how to achieve this objective in team work. In the end, the students will master the basics of development processes and development methodical tools.
Prerequisites / Notice	Successfull completion of the project is mandatory for lecture certificate.
151-0302-00L	Innovation Process	2 credits	1V + 1U	M. Meboldt, Q. Lohmeyer
Abstract	The lecture focuses on the basics of agile product development, in which development processes are structured in the form of several short sprints. The lecture deepens the relevant technical and methodological knowledge for the implementation of the characteristic core activities: Design, Build, Test.
Learning objective	Students understand the concept of agile product development and know the most important elements for planning and executing a sprint. They know individual methods for finding and selecting solutions and can apply basic methods for risk and cost analysis. Students are also able to calculate drives and mechanisms for different operating conditions.
Content	- Agile product development - Creativity and selection methods - Mechanical mechanisms - Electric motors - Design principles - Risk and cost analysis - Prototyping and testing - Market and innovation
Lecture notes	Lecture slides are distributed via Ilias.
Prerequisites / Notice	For Bachelor studies in Mechanical and Process Engineering the lecture "Maschinenelemente" (HS) is examined together with "Innovationsprozess" (FS).
165-0102-00L	Product Development & Technology Implementation Only for CAS in Applied Manufacturing Technology and MAS in Applied Technology.	3 credits	2G	M. Meboldt
Abstract	The module focuses on agile product development and the implementation of new technologies using additive manufacturing as an example. Participants will be introduced to basic principles, methods and mindset of Agile development by solving a practical development task in teams. Next, we will explore how agile development is used to integrate new technologies into a company.
Learning objective	After attending this course, participants are familiar with the fundamentals of Additive Manufacturing (AM), the technology’s impact on product development and value creation. Furtherrmore, the students are introduced to the key principles and practices of Agile product development.
166-0303-00L	Agile and User-Centered Innovation Only for MAS in Future Transport Systems and CAS in Future Transport Systems: New Business Models.	2.5 credits	2G	M. Meboldt
Abstract	For companies it is essential to realise products quickly, economically and in a customer-oriented way. In this context approaches to agile and user-centred product development such as Scrum and Design Thinking are increasing in importance. Compared to traditional product development methods, agile methods promise higher quality and customer satisfaction coupled with reduced expenditure.
Learning objective	Design and realisation of product development projects for future transport systems: Participants are familiar with the methods and procedures of agile and user-centred product development and are able to apply them profitably in their enterprises.
Content	Participants define an innovation theme themselves in groups, and a selection of topics is then drawn from this theme for module group work. The module takes participants through the whole process, from the analysis of target groups and their requirements through project conception and planning to implementation in example form. The course is practical and uses concrete examples. At the end of the module participants will have deployed the methods of agile and user-centred product development to work very practically through a theme they have developed themselves, and will have become familiar with the typical application scenarios, advantages and hurdles associated with these methods.
