a) The weight of the new chassis is still heavier than the original fuel cell car, which reduces run time. b) The fuel cell car`s maneuverability is limited by the size of the chassis and the type and number of sensors. c) Running time is still short (2 minute approximately) so it would be beneficial to increase this. d) New fuel cell car requires twice as much fuel in order to maintain original run times.The case activities, course concepts and report due dates were planned for five stages,summarized in Table 2. Ultimately, the students recommended design improvements for the nextversion of the chassis based on the case activity results. Students worked in teams of five andcompleted
