2. Manage to work with professional parties on a real-time design project.
3. Interpret the design problem provided by the external partner and redefine it according to his/her design approach.
4. Use design terminology, and visualizations skills effectively to communicate with the people in the professional environment.
5. Use appropriate media to share phases throughout the design process with the instructors and the external partner.
