<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Am wading through this unit for
the second year running. I have been thinking about why the students seem
to struggle with this theory component more than the others. I think it
is partly because it is all so new and out of their realm of experience in this
world, but mainly because we are trying to learn about manufacturing &
industry at the same time as research, trialling and developing design options
for their SAT. Two very different tasks to run simultaneously.
The students have commented that they feel like their time is being pulled
in two directions and they are not sure what to focus on. Maybe I should
run Area of Study 2 before 1 in Unit 3?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>I noticed an article in the <em><span
style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Financial Review</span></em> on
Saturday, the Weekend Edition May 16-17 2009 that would be an excellent case
study for Outcome 2. It's on page 16 and titled <em><span style='font-family:
"Arial","sans-serif"'>'Inventors put wheels in motion for expansion'</span></em>
by Stephen Crafti. The article has a very clear explanation of the company's <strong><span
style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>product development process</span></strong>
among other aspects related to this outcome.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

attach it as you need to subscribe to get the electronic version (which would
be worth it).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
