Computer Challenge

Today I'm watching our sophomore students present their computer designs. It's an interesting design challenge - they had $500 to spend on creating a computer based on the needs of their customers and users. The customer/user is the other students in their class, who filled out a survey.

An interesting challenge that allowed them to learn about how to address customer needs and technical requirements, lending itself well to quality tools such as fishbone or Ishikawa diagrams and the House of Quality (part of QFD, Quality Function Deployment).

So far so good! They're always entertaining presenters.
