design courses are typically project-based, where students work inteams to address a “customer-provided” problem and develop real working solutions. This typeof project-based learning requires that students synthesize knowledge and apply skills to anopen-ended design problem. The open-ended nature of “customer-provided” problems thatstudents encounter in capstone design courses contrasts with the structured and constrained“instructor-provided” problems seen in their earlier coursework [1], [2]. Solving complex,unstructured problems is an essential skill for a working engineer, but it requires a differentskillset than that which is needed to solve the standard textbook problems typically seen inclassrooms [2]–[6].

A concern for the stacking of tolerances was introduced “just-in-time”.
