Engineering Design in the Classroom

There are a lot of different ways to teach documenting progress for the Engineering Design Process or project work in general. The use of engineering notebooks is perhaps the most common and, while not specifically used in the Intro to Robotics V2 curriculum, can be great for students to have available for noting ideas and sketches.

For the curriculum, a step-by-step handout is provided for each project with guiding questions. A more universal version is provided here:

This handout may be given all at once or broken into parts based on where students are in a project. Each student group should have a shared copy as their final to turn in. Scrap paper for additional sketches and brainstorming are also handy to have available.
