Products - R. Roy

The first part of this block looks more closely at how ideas and inventions are designed, developed and manufactured into commercially viable new products. The second part introduces techniques for assessing and reducing the environmental impacts of such products, including the use of environmental assessment software. Through case studies of the practice and management of new product development you will examine the development of conventional products and innovations as well as the practice of, and limitations to, ecodesign and sustainable design.Due to copyright restrictions the DVD material refered to within this book is not available.
