About this course

A three-day course on principles and methods of designing, regardless of what is being designed. It integrates the technical design disciplines — physical and logical architecture, functional and state-based design, Object Process Methodology, trade-off studies, Design for Six Sigma and specialty engineering integration — with workshops on a single system. A shorter, corporate-delivery version of PPI's five-day Architectural Design course.
