Consumer Product Research And Study

 2-4 pages in Microsoft Word 

Select a consumer product research and study. This week you should emphasize how the Systems Engineering principles and tools interact over the lifecycle of the chosen commercial product.  For examples how does a feature requirement for Usability interact with disposability and what Systems Engineering tools could be used to manage total lifecycle cost and schedule.  

The project will consist of three elements

1. The perceived need or demand for the product
2. A program plan for the product lifecycle with estimated cost and schedule.
3. A discussion of the three major interactions of System Engineering principles on the program plan that would be deployed. Analytical methods described up to this point in this course or SE600 should be evident. This will be the bulk of the project. Include references documenting the requirements (e.g. governmental, economic dependencies) in APA format.
