The iPhone was is an example of good product development. Although it is a recent and dramatic example of successful new technology, there are many projects and products on which engineers work every day that are just as significant. For this assignment, apply what you have learned about engineering and product development to a product or project geared toward the Christian community. For the product or project that you choose, write a short essay (two to three pages) or create a short audio report (three to five minutes). Set a theme for the essay, state your goal for the product, support it with your basic knowledge of engineering and the product development life cycle, and express a conclusion.

The essay or report should:

1. Name the product and briefly describe it.

2. Identify the types of engineering that would be used to develop the product.

3. Describe how you would apply the stages of the product life cycle to your product. Generally describe the stage that you would take within each step, using your product as an example.

4. End with a short conclusion based on what you believe the outcome would be if you followed the product development life cycle process.
