RULE §127.783Engineering Design and Presentation I (One Credit), Adopted 2022

    (C) use multiple software applications for concept presentations.

  (9) The student designs products using appropriate design processes and techniques. The student is expected to:

    (A) interpret engineering drawings;

    (B) identify areas where quality, reliability, and safety can be designed into a product;

    (C) modify a product design to meet a specified need;

    (D) produce engineering drawings to industry standards; and

    (E) describe potential patents and the patenting process.

  (10) The student builds a prototype using the appropriate tools, materials, and techniques. The student is expected to:

    (A) identify and describe the steps needed to produce a prototype;

    (B) identify and use appropriate tools, equipment, machines, and materials to produce the prototype; and

    (C) present the prototype using a variety of media.

  (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 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 tools and methods such as models, prototypes, mock-ups, simulations, critical design review, statistical analysis, or experiments; and

    (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.
