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

. Specifically, if a course offered by the commu-nity college has substantially similar learning outcomes to some course offered by the university,a student successfully completing the community college course can petition to have this courseaccepted as transfer credit by the university. The work involved in establishing these so-calledcourse equivalences typically involves a review of the community college course syllabus by afaculty member in the department that offers the potentially equivalent course at the university.This is often a time-consuming process that can take months to complete and is sometimes re-ferred to as credit recognition. Unfortunate bias can also be introduced at this stage. For instance,we have heard university faculty claim
