The pull-along wood-toy group was asked to work on a variation of a simple eccentric mechanism to save crucial time in developing and proving new mechanisms. Lifestyle wire product group was asked to look into the lifestyle products and were asked to decode their beauty with words. The wire group was also advised to make scaled or 1:1 models in Al or GI wire as imagining and visualizing the drawn wire forms was difficult. Along with writing the design brief, all students were suggested to make the quick-scaled models of their ideas.

As Prof. Bapat told them the end result of the Introduction to Product Design assignment will be their own creation and in one way their own child which should have that ‘WOW’ factor.

Prof. Bapat also made a silent point about the expected output quality of the Introduction to Product Design assignment by showing his own old case studies to students.
