The twelfth season of the Design Challenge is a reunion of the teams and projects that made the Fall 2007 semester such a great success. Eleven teams in all! Ten teams are returning to continue work on projects begun during the Fall 2007 semester. A new set of team members will join the pack - - picking up and continuing work on a project begun by a Fall 2007 graduating team. One entirely new team and project will join the group.
