- CREATIVENESS
Originality of the problem, uniqueness of approach and the handling and
interpretation of data should be commensurate with the grade level of the
students. Ingenious use of equipment and materials is considered without regard to
the cost of the items involved.
- SCIENTIFIC THOUGHT / ENGINEERING GOALS
Scientific Thought:
The project shows evidence of depth of study and effort in employing scientific
procedures in the solution of a clearly defined problem including study of
background, organized procedures, appropriate sampling, orderly recording and
analysis of data and the formulation of logical conclusions.
or
Engineering Goals:
The project has a clear objective relevant to the needs of the potential user. The
product or process has been tested and is workable and feasible economically and
ecologically.
- THOROUGHNESS
The study is complete within the scope of the problem. Scientific literature
has been searched, experiments have been repeated and careful records have been kept.
- SKILL
Credit is given for special skills needed for the construction or use of
equipment and for mathematical, computational, observational and design skills.
- CLARITY
The purpose, procedures and conclusions are clearly explained orally and
through the display. The project notebook is well organized, neat and
accurate. Sources of ideas, data and assistance are clearly identified.
