[edit] Abstract

This paper discusses a case-study for investigating the loss of design information in collaborative design projects. The case-study was carried outconducted with senior mechanical engineeringdesign students at Clemson University working collaboratively on a semester long Senior Design Capstone project. The case study findings indicate that there is a potential loss of design information in collaborative groups. The design information, if archived systematically, can help future designers to review the past design and build upon the existing ideas to come with better or new solutions.
