SEGMENT 11: ENGINEERING DESIGN CONCEPTS
Defined
I. ACADEMIC FOUNDATIONS
A. Demonstrate language arts knowledge and skills required to pursue the full range of post-secondary education and career opportunities.
C. Demonstrate the ability to select, apply, and convert systems of measurement to solve problems.
D. Demonstrate the ability to use Newton’s Laws of Motion to analyze static and dynamic systems with and without the presence of external forces.
III. PROBLEM-SOLVING AND CRITICAL THINKING
A. Effectively develop and apply the skills inherent in systems engineering where requirements, configuration, integration, project management, quality assurance, and process applications are necessary.
1. Employ critical thinking skills independently and in teams to solve problems and make decisions (e.g., analyze, synthesize and evaluate).
IV. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS
B. Employ technological tools to expedite workflow.
19. Facilitate group work through management of shared schedule and contact information.
20. Facilitate group work through management of shared files and online information.
21. Facilitate group work through instant messaging or virtual meetings.
VIII. LEADERSHIP AND TEAMWORK
A. Use leadership and teamwork skills in collaborating with others to accomplish organizational goals and objectives.
3. Employ teamwork skills to achieve collective goals and use team members' talents effectively.
4. Establish and maintain effective working relationships with all levels of personnel and other departments in order to accomplish objectives
and tasks.
X. EMPLOY-ABILITY AND CAREER DEVELOPMENT
A. Know and understand the importance of employ-ability skills.
1. Identify and demonstrate positive work behaviors and personal qualities needed to be employable.
XII. ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY PATHWAY
A. Know the elements of the processes and concepts for understanding the design process.
2. Explain the elements and steps of the design process and tools or techniques that can be used for each step.
3. Describe design constraints, criteria, and trade-offs in regard to variety of conditions (e.g. technology, cost, safety, society, the
environment, time, human resources, manufacture-ability).
B. Develop processes and concepts to apply the design process.
1. Apply the design process, including understanding customer needs, interpreting and producing design constraints and criteria, planning
and requirements analysis, brainstorming and idea generation, using appropriate modeling and prototyping, testing, verification, and
implementation.
