Design Studies 10, 20, 30

(a)	Identify approaches for gathering data (e.g., customer satisfaction surveys, number of products returned to manufacturer as defective or broken prior to their anticipated lifespan, design variations on a similar product from other designers or manufacturers) about the satisfaction level of consumers interacting with the design of a product.
(b)	Investigate availability of various manufacturing processes and identify strengths and limitations of the processes available.
(c)	Identify available manufacturing components, including: expertise; accessibility of machinery; location; and, costs.
(d)	Utilize design systems to duplicate a design.
(e)	Consider another manufacturing process and redesign a product to work within that process, including description of: how the design changes to suit the new process; new limitations which arise with the changing process; and, assessment to determine if the final redesigned product yields improvement.
(f)	Propose a solution to a given manufacturing design challenge or problem, including: consideration of materials used; intended use for the product; and, the environment in which it is intended to be used.
(g)	Create a brief or proposal to demonstrate solving a manufacturing design challenge or problem.
(h)	Consider how cultural contexts and universal design considerations may influence an initial design or solutions to design challenges.
