If you have ever seen a rocket launch, flown in a plane, driven a car, used a computer, touched a mobile device, crossed a bridge, used wearable technology, and wondered how engineering companies manage to successfully bring these products to market, then this workshop is for you.

The entire product development process consists of many different steps to get from initial idea to production and services. Throughout all these steps, data is generated, used and modified. But how can uniformity be achieved in all the different versions of a design and all the different departments in a company? How are modern engineering techniques and technology used to bring innovative products to market? How can the customised data be used as efficiently as possible in production and services? And which tools can be used for this? These are questions that arise daily in all types of manufacturing companies in many different sectors: mechanical engineering, automotive, aerospace, etc. From global players to SMEs and the self-employed. It is also a subject that is relevant to every entrepreneurial engineer. In this series of lectures, you will get a clear view of different technologies that can make the product development process better and more efficient.
