Broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global and societal context
| Level of Achievement: 1 Below Expectations | Level of Achievement: 2 Meets Expectations | Level of Achievement: 3 Exceeds Expectations | |
| Global impact | Narrow perspective, with consideration only of immediate impact on current users | Awareness of current and future impact on users, with some consideration of potential for broader impact on others | Comprehensive analysis of current and future impact from a global perspective, and integration of this analysis into engineering design and problem solving. |
| Economic impact | Little or no consideration of economic factors | Awareness of immediate economic impact, with some consideration of long term economic impact | Comprehensive analysis of current and future economic impact, including multiple possible economic scenarios, and integration of this analysis into engineering design and problem solving. |
| Environmental impact | Little or no consideration of environmental impact | Awareness of current environmental impact, with some consideration of broader environmental impact | Comprehensive analysis of environmental impact, and integration of this analysis into engineering design and problem solving. |
| Societal impacts | Little or no consideration of the risks and benefits to society | Awareness of the basic risks and benefits to society, with some consideration of broader societal impact | Comprehensive understanding and analysis of the risks and benefits to society, and integration of this analysis into engineering design and problem solving. |
