, anecessary step in any design process. A Program Manager (PM) is assigned to each project.This is either a graduate teaching assistant or one of the courses instructors. The PM gives thestudents four or five higher level requirements. The students must write the remainingrequirements that follow from these higher level requirements. To do this they must furtherresearch the subject area, submit their requirements to the PM, and get them approved. Thisprocess takes several weeks. The engineering school librarian provides instructions on doing aliterature search. The students write a second research paper on what they have found. There isa laboratory exercise and several lectures in which the students learn how to write requirementswith the correct

Along theway, multiple interim progress reports are submitted and evaluated. At the end of 6 weeks, thestakeholders are invited to class to score the competing designs as each team makes a presentation.At the end of the competition design phase, the winning design from each section advances to theconstruction phase.
