andimportant to today’s engineers. However, Frankenstein is rarely discussed in technical classes.This paper discusses a design project for first-year Mechanical Engineering students that askedstudents to select and explore themes from Frankenstein as a guide for the design of anautonomous robot. In essence, the students were required to develop a target customer that wouldbenefit from the theme they selected. The use of the novel to generate concepts for the robotswas supported by using a form of double column notes. This processes required the students toselect several quotes from the book as inspiration for concept generation. Students sketched therobot ideas and explained the connection between the quote from the book and the concept. The
