Updates

To better reflect actual skills and activities of the product development process, the emphasis will no longer be on calculating the Nutrition Facts Panel.  (Some questions requiring these calculations will be on the online exam, however.)  Teams will instead focus their energies on producing a prototype within a given scenario/case study, answer questions about their decision making process and develop packaging for the proposed product.  Teams will still be expected to correctly depict a principal display panel and alternate display panel on their packages.
