U.S. manufacturing has discovered that the serial, over‐the‐wall approach to product development has to give way to a concurrent engineering approach. This customer‐centered, multi‐disciplinary team approach is being more widely used and today's graduating engineer must be prepared to understand and function in this environment. This paper describes an approach used to teach concurrent engineering at the University of Central Florida.
