# 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](#user-content-fn-1)[^1] 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:

{% file src="/files/fQfL5HxfUsMHMBnN2mZx" %}

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.

[^1]: Similar to other subject areas, a binder or composition notebook where students take notes. In Tech Ed/Engineering classes, it is also a space for recording the design process in terms of thoughts/ideas, sketches, changes made, test results, etc. - Sometimes in a structured manner and other times more free flowing.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.revrobotics.com/rev-professional-development-technical-path/edp/about/in-the-classroom.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
