Engineering Design 

Analysis, Inquiry and Design

Students will use mathematical analysis, scientific inquiry, and engineering design, as appropriate, to pose questions, seek answers and develop solutions.

Key Idea: Engineering design is a repetitive process involving modeling and optimization, finding the best solution within given constraints which is used to develop technological solutions to problems within given constraints.

ALTERNATE ASSESSMENT

Performance Indicators--Students:
recognize that an object or choice is not working properly

communicate how a defective simple object or  device might be fixed

under supervision, manipulate components of a simple, malfunctioning device to improve its performance

tell how the device or object has been improved

design a structure or environment (e.g., a neighborhood) using modeling materials such as LEGO Duplo blocks, model vehicles, model structures, etc.)

• describe the design in words or drawings
