. Every student is aconsumer, but not every student comes from a producer background. The language aboutthe various attributes or drawbacks to designs is common when speaking of everydayconsumer items. The large majority of products designed in the world today are consumeritems. If one can find suitable definitions and discussions about consumer productexcellence, these findings may then be related to other non-consumer products. Studentscome from many professional backgrounds, including aerospace, medical instrumentsand armament. It is difficult to achieve common understanding within a class settingwhen discussing specific products with which others are unfamiliar.
