iRubric: Adaptive Device Prototype rubric

Computer simulation tools, component mock-ups or rapid prototype models are used to validate component fit or function prior to prototype construction.
Mechanics of device are explained/ illustrated. Mock up matches drawings exactly
Scale of drawings match prototype
Device works or would work as designed meeting all constraints

Simple tests are developed and carried out to validate fit or function prior to prototype construction.
Function is clearly represented in prototype
Prototype closely resembles sketches
Device would meet 2/3 of constraints

Prototype construction is complete
Device would meet 1/2 constraints

No attempt is made to determine if component will perform as envisioned prior to prototype construction.

Detailed process plan formulated and reviewed with advisor or technician prior to starting fabrication.
Device completed 100% on time

Main process operations and a majority of specific fabrication steps identified.
Device completed by briefing time

Main process operations identified, little thought given to specific fabrication steps.
Device incomplete

No process plan proposed or developed.
