Project 1.1.5 Project Submittal Rubric
The following criteria will be assessed through the project submittals.
D = Domain; O = Objective; KS = Knowledge or Skill
Basic
Proficient
Advanced
D7 Systems Thinking
O: Consider the impact of potential engineering solutions on future generations to inform the development of sustainable solutions.
KS: Predict the local and global impacts of an engineering decision/solution (including social, cultural, economic, and environmental), including some
that were not anticipated.
Anticipates impacts from a single (or limited)
perspective.
Demonstrates an understanding of global
interconnectedness.
Demonstrates an extensive understanding of the
interconnectedness of all systems, large and small.
Identifies only a few obvious social,
environmental, or economic impacts of an
engineering decision.
Can describe multiple systems that are affected
by the engineering decision/solution under
consideration.
Demonstrates an ability to take the perspective of
others affected by the decision and identify
nonobvious impacts, large and small, of an
engineering decision.
Demonstrates the ability to view the decision
from multiple perspectives to help identify
potential impacts.
Can provide multiple examples of potential social,
cultural, environmental, economic, and ethical
impacts of an engineering decision/solution.
Describes social, cultural, environmental,
economic, and ethical impacts for a given
decision in a local and a global context.
D8 Engineering Careers
O: Develop a professional understanding of the need for multidisciplinary solutions to increasingly complex and persistent global challenges.
KS: Identify and describe contemporary engineering issues of local, global, and cultural significance.
Struggles to explain the significance of the
issue(s) in a local, global, or cultural context.
Cannot describe how engineering can
address the issues.

Identifies contemporary engineering issues and
demonstrates an understanding of local, global,
and cultural implications associated with each
issue.
Can identify multiple potential (local, global, and
cultural) impacts associated with a given
contemporary engineering issue.

Basic
Proficient
Can describe, in a general sense, how
engineering can address a contemporary
engineering issue.
Advanced
Describes in detail how engineering (in multiple
disciplines) can address a given contemporary
engineering issue.
D12 Communication
O: Develop a professional understanding of the need for multidisciplinary solutions to increasingly complex and persistent global challenges.
KS: Present information, findings, and supporting evidence clearly, concisely, and logically such that listeners can follow the line of reasoning and the
organization, development, substance, and style are appropriate to purpose, audience, and task. [CCSS. ELA-LITERACY.SL 9-10.4]
