Abstract
Product configuration and detailing in product design demands understanding various components and their interactions. Novice design students from diverse backgrounds find it challenging due to distinct thinking capabilities, knowledge, and motivations. We restructured the course to address these challenges, introducing strategic assignments and tools to enhance learning. While a small sample size limits our findings, our pedagogical approach offers a framework for broader implementation and refinement.
