The Deep Dive video shown in class provides a solid example of the design process. This assignment
requires students to watch the movie, and then discuss the following question in groups:
1. What did you find to be the most impressive part of the team’s effort?
2. What advantages are there to having a design team with members that have nonengineering backgrounds?
3. There was a point in the process where a self-appointed group of adults stepped
up, stopped the ideas, and redirected the group to break up into teams. Why was
this done?
4. At the end of the video, Dave Kelly states, “Look around. The only things that are
not designed are the things we find in nature.” Can you think of anything that would
contradict this statement?
Deliverables:
o A one page, neatly written synopsis of the group’s discussion. Include all team members’
names (first and last), in the upper right hand corner. Additional pages are approved.
o Include notes on each of the four discussion questions.
o Appoint a spokesperson and be prepared to discuss the team thoughts in class.
