Element D starts off by listing out all the goals of our project. some of which include to improve the sidewalk lifespan and provide assistance to the elderly of north Texas. Next, it lists out all the parameters our solution would have to met to hit the goal requirements. During this point in research, our primary goal was still to fox sidewalks so all of element D was built around them. Some parameters include restrictions on the material used and the cost per square feet of sidewalk. The constraints section is a list of possible issues or limitations our project may face. For example, our solution must use local materials and should be easy to manufacture.
Again, Element D was heavily built around sidewalks and is not directly reflected in the Component One report but it still plays a big role in it.
