ESTABLISHED GOALS

MA Technology/Engineering  Standards:

HS-ETS 1-1 - Analyze global challenges

HS-ETS 1-2 - Break up complex problems

Transfer

Students will be able to independently use their learning to…

Analyze a major global challenge to specify a design problem that can be improved. Determine necessary qualitative and quantitative criteria and constraints for solutions, including any requirements set by society. 

Break a complex real-world problem into smaller, more manageable problems that each can be solved using scientific and engineering principles.

Evaluate a solution to a complex real-world problem based on prioritized criteria and trade-offs that account for a range of constraints, including cost, safety, reliability, aesthetics and maintenance, as well as social, cultural, and environmental impacts.

Use a computer simulation to model the impact of a proposed solution to a complex real-world problem that has numerous criteria and constraints on the interactions within and between systems relevant to the problem.

Document and present solutions that include specifications, performance results, successes and remaining issues, and limitations.

Plan a prototype or design solution using orthographic projections and isometric drawings, using proper scales and proportions.
