RATIONALE: The learners will appreciate design and manufacturing as an activity which is
related to optimization and adaptation of product design in order to reduce cost, time and
resources during manufacturing through brainstorming, discussion and question and answer
This is the first lesson in a series of two.
LEARNING OUTCOMES: Demonstrate understanding of Designing and Manufacturing
