. The instructor and the students put all their class and lab time into conducting theprojects for the rest of the semester. They spent approximately 4 hours a week for 8weeks. Teams met to sketch and develop their designs, obtain needed materials, andbegin the production process. Figure 1 shows the conceptual designs and CAD drawingdone by the students after a couple of iterations. The instructor and the project leadershelped to finalize their conceptual designs. Team 1’s idea was to build a ‘multi-activitystation’ which had 4 different activity sites such as waterwheel, foot pump/bubblegenerator, torque converter, and funnel. Team 2’s idea was to build a ‘water pachinkostation’ where children could pump water to the top of the station and

Alternatively, prescriptive approaches areaimed at improving the design process by improving the reasoning process of the systemdesigners [1]. Also, the extent to which the method of DR capture intrudes in the design process isa characterizing feature. Most of the DR approaches are of the intrusive nature, though over thepast 15 years there has been extensive research done to find less intrusive ways of capturing andformalizing DR [7].
