Director of USC's Product Development Engineering Program, Professor Stephen C-Y Lu, Ph.D. said, "A well-developed technology without a successful market implementation has no economic value. Hence, technology development and implementation must be studied as a single integrated subject. Product Idea to Product Success is a perfect book for engineering students because it ties together product development and marketing into an integrated approach. The book is easy to read and covers the complete roadmap from idea to market." The USC Master of Science in Product Development Engineering offers students comprehensive educational experiences and practical skills to prepare for a professional career as new product development engineers and managers in engineering companies. The interdisciplinary curriculum, which consists of course work, design projects and case studies, is rooted in engineering with a balanced content from technology management and industrial design. "It's
important for engineering students to understand the big picture of developing
a product," said Yubas. "Technology by itself doesn't sell products.
By developing products from a customer and competitive marketplace perspective,
engineers have a better chance of creating products that generate economic rewards.
The book, Product Idea to Product Success leads students through the real-world
development process in a marketing, sales, legal, and financial approach from
concept to product launch." CONTACT INFORMATION Title: Product
