In this article we advance a methodology for capturing and tracing the development of novice engineering students engaged in a year-long creative design and implementation project. The Setback Episode Based Analysis (SEBA) methodology allows researchers to identify relevant setback data from an e-portfolio environment (V-dot diagram), and then to sort these episodes into a set of categories that can illuminate the experiences of novice teams, revealing plicated situations encountered as students faced roadblocks from creative product idea generation to its design and implementation. The SEBA methodology is especially useful for researchers interested in exploring subtle nuances among different groups when carrying out their tasks and producing their creative products. In addition to setting the context and providing a theoretical rationale for the SEBA methodology, this discussion includes a detailed description of the methodology along with its application to data sets. Following the five examples presented, we close with a discussion of the scope and limitations of this methodology, touching on issues of breadth and depth, and ideal vs. reality ofcreatively implementing new products.
