Despite the curriculum still emphasizing manual skills, the increased use of laptops and gadgets has brought about a need for backpacks that can accommodate diverse equipment. A survey of 29 students revealed their preference for backpacks, but their usage faces several challenges, including inadequate size, rigid material, easily damaged straps, and an inefficient system for organizing belongings. To address these challenges, the concept of Modular and Ergonomic backpack design is proposed, involving Design Thinking stages such as Empathize, Define, Ideation, Prototyping, and Testing. The resulting backpack design includes provisions for A3 drawings, models/mock-ups, suitable materials, ergonomic strap systems, appropriate partitions/compartments, and ease of use during mobilization on motorcycles. This development aims not only to enhance student comfort and productivity but also holds the potential to contribute positively to the economic recovery of Indonesian SMEs post-Covid-19.
