all the group members agreed. From this experience, we learned the wonderful experiences of brainstorming and the importance of reaching consensus so that our tentative plan could be done efficiently. 2. Growth of problem-solving ability Because it was the first time that students designed a product, they confronted manydifficulties, for example, they tended to try out an idea without concerning how to make it, therequired cost, and its practicability. It was due to their lack of information gathering skills andhands-on experience: The massage backpack we designed is a vibrator which controls the back from the breast. After testing its feasibility, we found that the slide did not move well, and it even stuck

Product, Process and Business Practices The course centers around the idea of integration of product development, manufacturingsystems and business practices (see Figure 2). Therefore, it adopts a system-based approach,considering not only components (be it machines, processes, or knowledge) necessary inproduction of consumer goods, but also their interactions and impact on each other. While thisidea is perhaps not entirely new, it is also set in context of the current market paradigm of MassCustomization6,7,8. Page 24.912.4Table 1 Abridged Course Syllabus Week Subject 1
