The authors have students draw Functional Requirement (FR) – Design Parameter (DP) charts for their free subject design assignments before teaching them Axiomatic Design (AD) in detail. The students cannot list all important FRs and DPs even with Zigzag thinking between FR and DP from higher level to lower; then, they tend to list FRs chronologically like flowcharts and DPs spatially like bill of material. The strategy, however, often results in different counts of FRs and DPs and a number of interferences among them. When this happens, we lead the students to carry out the thinking processes of functional integration of FRs and physical integration of DPs so they can reach a regular matrix for the design equation. Once regularization is reached, the students can apply independence axiom to improve their designs.
