Team problem statement refinement process:
Every team member brought a problem statement to our second group meeting, and in turns we discussed and critiqued each one, taking the best bits from each and synthesising them into an intermediate form. From there we began to mould and form our final statement, fixing grammatical errors and discussing terminology such as “apparatus” vs “machine” vs “vehicle”. Through these minor changes we formed our final statement.
At our next meeting we once again reviewed the statement, breaking it into two sentences and making minor changes such as “while” to “whilst”. We then discussed the validity of our objectives and decided we had now reached our final problem statement.
We worked cohesively as a team to successfully evaluate all the statements proposed and synthesise an all-encompassing yet defined statement from them.

What I learned about design and teamwork:

The design of the statement was important, as we had to first rethink our objectives and constraints, by accurately defining all constraints. This required a team effort to analyse the design brief and project
