3 pts

Deficient/Poor

2 pts

Potential Alternatives
2 pts

Enter description
Exemplary/Excellent

A sufficiently varied list of designs, components, or processes is generated by brainstorming or research.
Accomplished/Good

Lists many alternatives, but lacks enough brainstorming or research to be “exemplary.”
Developing/Fair

Several alternatives are presented, but focuses on one “variable” of potential solutions (e.g. type of material or shape of cross-section)
Deficient/Poor

Does not document sufficient alternatives to require an engineering decision.
Identification of Constraints
2 pts

Enter description
Exemplary/Excellent

The economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability constraints are fully and correctly identified and properly applied to eliminate potential solutions.
Accomplished/Good

The economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability constraints are not fully identified but are correctly used to eliminate potential solutions.
Developing/Fair

Some economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability constraints are identified but not used to eliminate potential solutions.
Deficient/Poor

The economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability constraints are mostly ignored.
Identification of Criteria
2 pts

Enter description
Exemplary/Excellent

The required features of the design are suitably broken down into quantifiable criteria that can be independently evaluated.
Accomplished/Good

The required features of the design are broken down into criteria, but some overlap exists or a few necessary criteria are neglected.
Developing/Fair

The required features of the design are broken down into criteria, but some overlap exists and necessary criteria are neglected.
Deficient/Poor

Criteria are introduced that do not relate to the required design features. There are significance omissions of criteria relating to critical design features.
Weighting/Ranking of Criteria
1 pts

Exemplary/Excellent

All criteria are given appropriate weighting (implicitly or explicitly) based on the importance of the criteria to the final goals of the design.
Accomplished/Good

Generally criteria are given appropriate weighting (implicitly or explicitly) based on the importance of the criteria to the final goals of the design.
Developing/Fair

Makes some distinctions between the criteria, but makes some questionable choices about the weighting of many criteria.
Deficient/Poor

Incorrectly makes no distinction of the relatively importance of the criteria.
Justification of Choice
2 pts

Exemplary/Excellent

All alternative solutions that survive the constraint check are considered and evaluated using the established weighting system. The best alternative is chosen. The choice is clearly restated (with support from the weighted criteria) at the conclusion of the record.
Accomplished/Good

All alternative solutions that survive the constraint check are considered and evaluated using the established weighting system. The best alternative is chosen.
Developing/Fair

The constraints are not utilized to eliminate unacceptable alternatives. A best alternative is identified, but without justification of the choice using the identified criteria.
Deficient/Poor

The record has no clear statement of the “winner”. The decision is left to the reader to interpret the weighting and criteria.
