B.E. (Automation and Robotics) Product Design and Development Syllabus - Mumbai University 2026

The University has moved this degree onto NEP 2020 one year at a time. The first and second years are NEP 2020 syllabi; the third and fourth years are still examined on the REV-2019 'C' Scheme, which is what the University sets for them this year.

Syllabus for Product Design and Development

Semester 8 · Fourth Year AR

Course Objectives

1 To understand the basic concepts of engineering design and product design & development, focusing on the front-end processes.
2 To demonstrate an understanding of the overview of all the product design & development processes.
3 To demonstrate knowledge of concept generation and the selection of tools.
4 To study the applicability of product design & development in industrial applications. Course Outcomes: Upon satisfactory completion of this course, the student will be able to:
1 Describe the process of product design & development.
2 Employ engineering, scientific, and mathematical principles to develop and execute a design project from a concept to a finished product.
3 Create 3D solid models of mechanical components using CAD software.
4 Demonstrate individual skills using selected manufacturing techniques such as rapid prototyping.
5 Fabricate an electromechanical assembly of a product from engineering drawings.
6 Work collaboratively in a team to complete a design project.
