RULE §127.781Principles of Applied Engineering (One Credit), Adopted 2021

    (A) apply the design process, including decision matrices, as a team participant;

    (B) perform different roles within the project as a team member;

    (C) formulate decisions using collaborative strategies such as decision and design matrices and conflict resolution;

    (D) maintain an engineering notebook for the project;

    (E) develop and test the model for the project; and

    (F) demonstrate communication skills by preparing and presenting the project, including building consensus setback resolution and decision matrices.

  (10) The student demonstrates a knowledge of drafting by completing a series of drawings that can be published by various media. The student is expected to:

    (A) set up, create, and modify drawings;

    (B) store and retrieve geometry;

    (C) demonstrate and use appropriate line types in engineering drawings;

    (D) draw two-dimensional, single-view objects;

    (E) create multi-view working drawings using orthographic projection;

    (F) dimension objects using current American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards;

    (G) draw single-line two-dimensional pictorial representations; and

    (H) create working drawings that include section views.

  (11) The student creates justifiable solutions to open-ended real-world problems using engineering design practices and processes. The student is expected to:

    (A) identify and define an engineering problem;

    (B) formulate goals, objectives, and requirements to solve an engineering problem;

    (C) determine the design parameters such as materials, personnel, resources, funding, manufacturability, feasibility, and time associated with an engineering problem;

    (D) establish and evaluate potential constraints, including health, safety, social, environmental, ethical, political, regulatory, and legal, pertaining to a problem;

    (E) identify or create alternative solutions to a problem using a variety of techniques such as brainstorming, reverse engineering, and researching engineered and natural solutions;

    (F) test and evaluate proposed solutions using engineering methods such as creating models, prototypes, mock-ups, or simulations or performing critical design review, statistical analysis, or experiments;

    (G) apply structured techniques such as a decision tree, design matrix, or cost-benefit analysis to select and justify a preferred solution to a problem;

    (H) predict performance, failure modes, and reliability of a design solution; and

    (I) prepare a project report that clearly documents the designs, decisions, and activities during each phase of the engineering design process.
