In resolving ill-structured aspects present and emergent in the problem, studentsnecessarily participate in actions that constitute problem framing.Like the previous problem, resolving complexity is reflected in actions of decomposing the pedal-crank system into individual components that can be analyzed as part of the redesign process.Eventually, complexity is further resolved in synthesizing changes to individual components tounderstand the impact at the system level.
