| Level of Achievement: 1 Below Expectations | Level of Achievement: 2 Meets Expectations | Level of Achievement: 3 Exceeds Expectations | |
| Design Techniques | No design strategy. Only a single solution is presented and considered. No application of engineering or scientific principles. | Employs an existing design strategy with minimal changes Develops a few alternate solutions; technique for choosing among them is presented. Applies some engineering and science principles. | Employs a design strategy with subtasks and timetable. Presents several possible solutions and finds the best Applies engineering and science principles appropriately. |
| Documentation and Support | Computer tools and other resources are not used. Design is not documented; references missing. | Some use of computer tools and other resources. Documentation of design procedure is incomplete; references are minimal. | Uses computer tools and other resources effectively. Documents design procedure and includes references. |
| Application of Constraints | Design does not consider economic, safety, and environmental constraints. Proposed solution is impractical or non-existent. | Some consideration of economic, safety, and environmental constraints. Practicality of solution is not demonstrated. | Design accounts for economic, safety, and environmental constraints. Design represents a practical solution (correct order of magnitude). |
| Originality | No evidence of original thought. Sees neither the forest nor the trees. | Follows an existing approach. Ideas are not completely integrated. Sees just the forest or just the trees. | Develops new approaches. Improves on existing solutions. Integrates ideas. Sees the forest and the trees. |
