Our work adds to this growing body of literature by exploring what aspects ofprototyping student engineers are aware of as they engage in the design process, specificallyduring prototyping activities.    2.2 Prototyping Literature    In this work, we use Christie et al.’s definition of a prototype as “an initial instantiation of aconcept as part of the product development process”37. Prototyping represents a large sunk costfor most companies that is overcome through the launch of a successful product; however,estimates indicate that 40-50% of

that shading can not only inhibit the performance of the array, butcan cause power to be absorbed into shaded panels from non-shaded panels. The phenomenontermed hot-spot can occur when an imperfection in materials, flaws in fabrication, partial shadingor some form of damage to the panel(s) has occurred (Pandian, 2016).An important factor in the absorption of irradiance by PV panels is the state in which the solarfaced glass surface is maintained. Regular cleaning intervals are recommended and are usuallydetermined by both physical and geographic location of the array. Partial shading of PV panelsby foliage may exacerbate poorer performance due to organic material adhering to the glass suchas leaf debris, sap, or pollen. Airborne contaminants

The Bridge House is ideal for vibration experimentation since it is simpleenough for the students to quickly model by hand calculations and with computational models,yet complex enough so that the results can be readily applied to an actual structure.
