In the case of the sponsored project mentioned above, when the final designis agreed upon, the students will build several prototypes for testing. In this case thesponsor is unsure about pursuing a patent; however, he has requested a patent search bedone to determine if there are any infringement issues.Below is a photo of MFG 490 students manufacturing EMU s trademark eagle.

Once approved, theanalysis becomes a basis for the system design, embodied in a second document. Again, the use ofthe CASE tool is encouraged, as appropriate. When different projects are involved, the designdocument is reviewed by the team itself, since at this point the specific domain knowledge andfamiliarity with the overall system structure become more important.The teams then proceed to implementation.
