].Various methodologies have been utilized to improve technical writing skills in laboratoryenvironments. An effective method is the scaffolded peer review technique. This strategy entailsdeconstructing the laboratory report into smaller components, allowing students to concentrateon one section at a time. Guided peer reviews improve this process by offering constructivefeedback, promoting critical thinking, and facilitating a collaborative learning environment.Studies demonstrate that scaffolded peer review enhances students' writing skills and self-assurance [5]. Another innovative approach involves client-focused assignments, whereinstudents tackle real-world issues hypothetical clients encounter. This method necessitates thatstudents customize

engineering education showsthat students can generate innovative potential solutions to an engineering challenge whiledemonstrating their ability to understand design criteria and constraints during the ideageneration phase of an engineering design process [7], [8]. This opens a possible inquiry intohow students approach generating ideas for an engineering challenge and what factors limit thegeneration of ideas.Research into design fixation aims to investigate a phenomenon that afflicts designers duringidea generation [9]. One of the earliest studies on the topic was by Jansson and Smith [10] whichlooked at design fixation as a is a measurable barrier in engineering design.
