In many cases, a single student designgroup is only able to concentrate on the design aspects of a capstone design project conductedwithin a single semester. In two-semester projects, the second semester typically provides thesame student design group the necessary time to build and test the design they completed duringthe first semester. Unlike these typical capstone projects, the authors’ prosthetic capstone designproject spanned four years and involved multiple student design groups. Students in the first-yeargroup conducted a feasibility study and built a basic prototype of the design. The iterativedesign process then started
