Abstract

In this paper, a design principle called Sustainable Empowerment with Robust System (SERS) is presented. The objective of SERS is to provide a design direction for developing design solution that addresses the changing and evolving needs and problems of the users and stakeholders. The rationale and methodology of SERS are explained. New design features derived from application of SERS in design refinement of s facemask breathing apparatus are presented.
