Product lifecycleIn industry, product lifecycle management (PLM) is the process of managing the entire lifecycle of a product from its inception through the engineering, design and manufacture, as well as the service and disposal of manufactured products. PLM integrates people, data, processes, and business systems and provides a product information backbone for companies and their extended enterprises. The inspiration for the burgeoning business process now known as PLM came from American Motors Corporation (AMC).
Virtual product developmentVirtual product development (VPD) is the practice of developing and prototyping products in a completely digital 2D/3D environment. VPD has four main components: virtual product design (3D shape, 2D graphics/copy) virtual product simulation (drop test, crush test, etc.) virtual product staging (retail space planning, consumer research and behavior analysis) digital manufacturing (process planning, assembly/filling virtualization, plant design).
Experiential learningExperiential learning (ExL) is the process of learning through experience, and is more narrowly defined as "learning through reflection on doing". Hands-on learning can be a form of experiential learning, but does not necessarily involve students reflecting on their product. Experiential learning is distinct from rote or didactic learning, in which the learner plays a comparatively passive role. It is related to, but not synonymous with, other forms of active learning such as action learning, adventure learning, free-choice learning, cooperative learning, service-learning, and situated learning.

AnthroposémiotiqueAnthroposémiotique est un synonyme rare de communication humaine, formé dans les années 1970 sur les racines grecques anthropo, désignant l'espèce humaine, et sémio, désignant les signes. Un premier courant trouve ses racines contemporaines chez l'anthropologue Grégory Bateson qui a fondé au le courant de pensée connu en France sous le nom de Ecole de Palo Alto. Il est revisité au en France par Béatrice Galinon-Mélénec via le paradigme de l'"Ichnos-Anthropos" ("Homme-trace") qui analyse la perception et l'interprétation des signes par un humain dont la relation au monde est filtrée par un "corps-trace" non dualiste (corps et esprit).
Cognitive developmentCognitive development is a field of study in neuroscience and psychology focusing on a child's development in terms of information processing, conceptual resources, perceptual skill, language learning, and other aspects of the developed adult brain and cognitive psychology. Qualitative differences between how a child processes their waking experience and how an adult processes their waking experience are acknowledged (such as object permanence, the understanding of logical relations, and cause-effect reasoning in school-age children).
