Master Certificate in Product Design & Development
Build Industry-Ready Product Design Expertise
Design, develop, and deliver manufacturable products using advanced design workflows, engineering principles, and AI-powered tools
Course Overview
This program is designed to develop complete product design and development capabilities by integrating design for manufacturing, drafting, 3D product design, and project control into one comprehensive learning journey.
You will learn how to design products that are not only functional but also optimized for manufacturing, cost, and performance. The program focuses on real-world product development workflows, from concept and modeling to validation and project execution.
With three capstone projects, you will gain hands-on experience in product design, documentation, and project control, making you industry-ready for product development roles.
