The objective of this lab was to understand the techniques used for creative design to establish four AEV orthographic designs that would be critiqued further in the future to create a final AEV product. Creating concepts for a highly efficient vehicle was the first step in actually creating the AEV. Each group member created their own idea for how the AEV should be designed. After reviewing the individual AEVs, it can be seen that each design differs slightly from one another.

After comparing the varying designs it has been concluded that the most effective AEV was a combination of the aspects from multiple designs. It has also been concluded that more testing is required before making a final design.
