摘要：AbstractThis paper will identify the impact of IT on knowledge feedback education design, on how product knowledge can be used during design and how it can improve the quality of a product, in a perspective of how such strategies and applications can improve a product. Until few years ago, the education process of product design and development was basically focused on defining the characteristics that a product should have in order to make it, the correct response to certain functional specifications, the latter often being defined by restrictions imposed by manufacturing processes. The culture of education for manufacturing design, the inter-relationship between manufacture, education and IT can reduce the costs, the life cycle and product reliability. As many companies have demonstrated over time, product design contributes greatly to the improvement of competitiveness, because it permits reduction of costs, increase of quality, and often, shortening of the time necessary to get the product on the market. In manufacturing enterprises the product knowledge is distributed across the whole company. This know how represents an essential resource for successful competition in the market and should therefore be preserved and used as efficiently as possible.
