INDIVIDUAL Concept • Concepts were developed by the students separately so that ideas are not intrusive.
Synthesis
• Wide spectrum of ideas covered
20 concepts
• Trying to find synergies and ideas outside the box.
PROCESS CONCEPT SYNTHESIS

SYSTEMATIC
Concept Synthesis
• To reduce the number of concepts, sub solutions in the morphological matrix are
grouped together and eliminated.
96 concepts
• 7 sub functions and 16 ideas
• All possible combinations are looked at.
