based on Commonality/Diversity, Modularity, and CostFew would argue that engineers are more likely to be active rather than reflective learners6, andthe benefits of “hands-on” educational activities such as product dissection are many. Forinstance, product dissection has been successfully used to help students identify relationshipsbetween engineering fundamentals (e.g., torque and power) and hardware design (e.g., a drill)7.It has also been used to help teach competitive assessment and benchmarking8, 9.

The results from these discussions determine the design requirementsfor the capstone project.
