-class time, required discussion questions were used to give the students achance to interact with each other and with the professor. The questions, posed by the professor,were open ended. Often, they had to do with ‘gray areas’ of materials – ethics, recycling, thepros and cons of changing from one material to another, etc. Other questions required students toresearch a certain topic, and provide links to information that they found interesting or helpful.A portion of the grade for the course was based on an open ended group project. Each group hadan open ended design question to research and answer, with an emphasis on material selection.Normally, student groups would present their solution to such a problem in front of the class.However, due
