BenefitsThe major benefits of this type of design experience fall into three primary areas: clientperspective, student perspective, and instructor perspective. The client receives initial A&Eproducts at little to no cost, products that tremendously assist in finalizing the desired design.The products give visibility to projects that might otherwise go unnoticed. In this situation,prospective donors have physical models to assist in fully understanding the team’s need andcost estimates to meet those needs. “Student Designed” products are very positive fund raisingtools, especially with
