Before students can begin their projects, they must create an Engineering Design Process Log account.
Creating a Student Account in the EDPL:
Emphasize that they will be required to record their design process during the engineering part of this challenge, and that they will be using a digital tool called the Engineering Design Process Log (EDPL) to document their work.
Instruct students to log into the digital Engineering Design Process Log. If they have used the EDPL in the classes before they should log into their existing account.
All returning students will also need to join the new class by going to account in the upper right and when at their account select the edit tab and under join group they will enter the class code.
For new students that do not have an EDPL account have them follow these instruction.
Have the students go to the website www.edpl.io
Click on the "Create New Account" text in the upper right corner
The default screen will be a blue tinted screen and say "I'm a Student" at the top. This is the screen they should complete
Complete the basic information
They can use any username they can remember
They can make their own password
They should use their real name in the bottom section as that is how teammates will find them and so will you
In Join group they will enter the code for the class period that you provide
Click “Create Account” button
Once they have created their account, they will be ready to use the EDPL during the challenge.
