I feel like the only course in undergrad that introduced industry-related topics was capstone, since it involved working on a project from start to finish and all its deliverables. However, since this was just an intro course, it was very important for me that I took a course that further discussed these topics. I went into my first job still confused on the specifics of the product development process and design controls. I love that this course was able to guide me to a better understanding. In my opinion, the course can be improved and more challenging if groups were required to present this unique project idea to the class at multiple points throughout the semester, instead of just submitting a DHF at the end. I believe in the real world, a lot goes on after a document is submitted: reviews, comments, design changes, more research – So it would’ve been great to be able to simulate that more.
