Illinois ECE Explorations

Abstract:  
Have you ever wondered how your smartphone went from an idea on a white board to a product in your pocket? Teams building consumer electronics like phones, tablets, laptops, etc. each follow a product development process (PDP) with several common steps to develop ideas into products. Join us for an overview of a generalized PDP for consumer electronics and learn how it helps teams manage the engineering and other challenges of bringing products to market. Please RSVP for the event at: goo.gle/2kaCHHU
