because of problems with the input or the way in which themechanism was assembled.At the U. S. Naval Academy the Computer-Aided Design course is heavily oriented towardsteam design projects. Teams of two students select a mechanism design project from a list ofsuggested projects at the beginning of the semester. The lectures are organized to develop thenew material the students will need to learn, in a logical manner that parallels the phases of thedesign process. Ample time is provided once the new material has been presented to allow thestudents to apply it to their projects. In addition, a few short lab exercises, quizzes andhomework assignments are given to reinforce the concepts developed in the lectures.The first part of the course

Overthe past several years the authors have been developing methods that effectively represent thedesign process. This work discusses how four different representations were implemented in thefirst semester of a one year capstone design course to allow student teams to self-manage aproject in the second semester.
