Reverse in Design is the process of extracting knowledge or design information from the masterpiece project. The ultimate goals for obtaining such design information are varied. A typical goal for reverse a design project is to create a (possibly improved) copy or even a knockoff. The process often involves disassembling and analyzing its components and workings in detail. After all, students can use the knowledge to further develop the concept and idea and use it for the next project.
