Engineering discourse includes the collection ofwords, visuals, and narratives through which engineers communicate [6]. The collection ofwords used includes the steps of the engineering design process and terms such as criteria andconstraints for elementary school students. The engineering design process is an example of anengineering design routine that contributes to engineering discourse [7]. It is an explorativeroutine which is
