The project wascompleted in teams of 3-5 but each student wrote an individual, final report on the project. Themodel of design as an alternating series of divergent and convergent steps was covered explicitlyin class, including circulating portions of Dym, et al.’s article. Students were required to identifyactions taken by the team, categorizing them as “divergent” or “convergent” thinking, andproviding a quantitative rationale for final decisions regarding the three parameters.
