Ed: A PhD student <strong>in</strong> Aerospace eng<strong>in</strong>eer<strong>in</strong>g. He was do<strong>in</strong>g research on the<br />
jo<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g of alum<strong>in</strong>ium <strong>and</strong> choos<strong>in</strong>g between several jo<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g techniques.<br />

case-study <strong>for</strong> them. They should decide on (biodegradable) materials <strong>for</strong> nonloaded<br />
side panels (Alex<strong>and</strong>er) <strong>and</strong> material <strong>for</strong> the rocker (Kat<strong>in</strong>ka). Official<br />
members of the team, unofficially they did not participate much <strong>in</strong> the <strong>design</strong> as<br />
