This comment points out apossible challenge facing these students when using their notebooks to facilitate ideageneration: the students did not know enough to draw detailed sketches. However, oncethey had enough familiarity with the VEX robotics kits to create useful sketches of theirdesign plans, they were no longer making frequent notebook entries.The students’ notebook entries align with the interviews by revealing the challenge withmaking detailed drawings as well as the emphasis on the early part of the design process.First, we see that the entries were rather sparse both in content and count.

implement reflects themany ways engineer take designs from ideas to reality. Many engineers do build designs using abroad array of techniques. Perhaps one of the biggest differences between engineeringdisciplines is the specialized methods and technologies they use to implement designs. Howeversome engineers implement ideas through manipulation of information, such as designingcomputer software or producing plans. Here the real value is the information in the blueprint orcode, not the medium (paper or magnetic disk) that contains the information. Another option forimplementing a design is to contract another company to build it. In this case the engineer workswith the company to ensure the work is done properly.The fourth step of the engineering
