Students are required to complete a design report for each assignment where a robot is designed and built. This revolves around the engineer design process that was modified for classroom use. This is a continual cycle showing how even when something is complete it can always improve as new materials, technologies, and ideas that are developed. (See Figure 1.)
Figure 1.
Below is an example of the design report that is used in class. This is given to students as a Microsoft Word Document. Students will use this layout for each assignment and can open and type in the document then submit it when complete.
