Retro Design: Criterion A: Inquiring and Analysis

Challenge

Mr. Abdalla owns a tuk tuk which is almost breaking down in which its appearance
 looks unappealing, the noise from the engine is unbearable, the seats are uncomfortable,
 the lack of windows pose a security risk, the small size sometimes becomes un-useful if 
a client has a lot of luggage to carry and hence most people are discouraged to board it. 
So he does not earn the same amount of money he used to and the new models are
 competing it badly in the market. During rain seasons his customer refuse to a board 
the tuk tuk because of the leaking roof. How can you help him redesign his tuk tuk and 
create a working 3D model with a unique logo to make him survive the tough competition?

Your task is to identify a client who has a similar problem faced by Mr. Abdalla in running his tuk tuk
 business in Mombasa. Think of a workable and appropriate  3D model as well as a new logo designed
 by paint to solve the existing problem. The problem should be clearly described and the client's current 
way of addressing the situation described. The problem description should include the current  limitations 
the client is facing and detailed explanation of why you think an IT solution  will be the best solution to this 
persistent problem. 

Criterion A: Inquiring and analysing
Maximum: 8
At the end of year 1, students should be able to:
i.         explain and justify the need for a solution to a problem
ii.        state and prioritize the main points of research needed to develop a solution to 
the problem
iii.      describe the main features of one existing product that inspires a solution to the 
problem
iv.      present the main findings of relevant research.

    ii. states and prioritizes the main points of research needed to develop a solution to the problem, with minimal guidance
    iii. describes the main features of an existing product that inspires a solution to the problem
