MEMS Product Engineering

Abstract

This chapter gives a general introduction into the authors’ understanding of Product Engineering in general and defines the essentials of new product development and innovation. Several established baseline methods for product development and project management are presented and evaluated for their applicability. Therefore this chapter provides the base knowledge needed for the MEMS Product Engineering methodology presented in Part II of this book.
