Prepare for a tutoring lesson.

Try this with Product Design and Technologies

1. Pick one topic and bring a question, an attempted answer or a short section of your notes.
2. Write a goal you can check at the end, such as explaining a method or improving a response.
3. Choose one independent follow-up task to try after working through the example.

Pick a starting point

• One-off, low-volume, high-volume and continuous production: methods, technologies and when each is viable
• Lean manufacturing versus flexible and responsive manufacturing: aims, similarities and differences
• The 6Rs and the triple bottom line: applying and critiquing them against a real product
• Circular economy, cradle-to-cradle, Design for Disassembly, Extended Producer Responsibility and lifecycle assessment
• Style, technical and functional obsolescence: benefits and issues for producers and consumers
• AI, automation, CAD, CAM, CNC, laser technology, rapid 3D prototyping and robotics: impacts on production
