Formative assessment of the Engineering Design process • Review questions in handout • Write brief, informal answers to each question
Defining a problem that addresses a need What would you consider evidence that a student has developed the ability to clearly define a problem or challenge relating to a real-world need?
Identifying criteria, constraints and priorities What would you consider evidence that a student has developed the ability to identify criteria, constraints and priorities?
Describing relevant scientific principles and knowledge What would you consider evidence that a student can describe relevant scientific principles and knowledge?
Investigating possible solutions What would you consider evidence that a student can investigate possible solutions?
Designing and constructing a proposed solution What would you consider evidence that a student can design and construct a proposed solution?
Testing a proposed solution and collecting relevant data What would you consider evidence that a student test a proposed solution and collect relevant data?
Evaluating the proposed solution in terms of design and performance criteria, constraints, priorities and trade-offs What would you consider evidence that a student can evaluate a proposed solution in terms of • Criteria • Constraints • Priorities • Trade-offs
Identifying possible design improvements What would you consider evidence that a student can identify possible design improvements?
What should students know about…Or, what would you consider evidence that a student has developed the corresponding skill? • Defining a problem that addresses a need? • Identifying criteria, constraints and priorities? • Describing relevant scientific principles and knowledge? • Investigating possible solutions? • Designing and constructing a proposed solution? • Testing a proposed solution and collecting relevant data? • Evaluating the proposed solution in terms of design and performance criteria, constraints, priorities and trade-offs? • Identifying possible design improvements? • The Engineering Design process in general? 2 minutes each
