In the capstone,they were learning further aspects of the design process, and were organized into teams to workon different problems posed by actual clients. None of the teams were working on KMCphototherapy. Students were not informed about our conception of the stages of modeling. Theyperformed the activities for our study as regular activities for the course, for which they receivedcredit.
