The aim was to have the students engage their respectivefaculty and graduate student mentors to understand the problem and seek mentoring advice aboutpotential designs.Not only was the design open ended, but we also recommended that the group select their ownteam(s) and sub-groups. We recommended that the REU students work either as a single team orbreak into multiple teams. This offered the option of developing different designs within a singlegroup or competition among two groups. Upon deliberation and presentations of the project, thegroup decided to divide into two teams. A set of milestones and mentoring plan was
