Student reflections reveal that the exercise deepenedtheir understanding of the nontechnical issues both in the design and in life in general.IntroductionEfficiency is a broad topic, which students analyze throughout an undergraduate engineeringeducation. In the context of engineering, more efficient is always better, and many students willenter the workforce to play a role in designing a more efficient device or process. How does amore efficient machine affect humankind, specifically the thermal efficiency of a vapor powercycle?

Interview questions were designed tospecifically follow the stages of the design process8 and, at times, to target detailed descriptionsof the use of prototypes.
