One of the mostchallenging factors designers must account for is the consideration of stakeholders. Stakeholdersare defined as all individuals who affect and/or are affected by the design and design process [1];hence, they play a major role in contributing to the effectiveness of a design. Stakeholder needs,safety, behaviors, and preferences when interacting with a design will impact whatconsiderations engineers must consider when designing. Overlooking these needs not only canbe detrimental to the overall effectiveness of the final design, but more critically, can haveadverse social
