Produces sketches that are difficult to visualize. Lacks details in sketches. Missing some details for effective communication, including labels, descriptions, signatures, and dates. Produces program solutions that are difficult to visualize. Lacks details in sketches. Missing some details for effective communication, including labels, descriptions, signatures, and dates. Solution is somewhat accurate and includes a medium-quality sketch or 3D model. Meets some of the required design concepts. Is missing many details for effective communication, including labels, descriptions, signatures, and dates.

1 point
Produces incomplete sketches. Does not present the concept well. Missing several details for effective communication, including labels, descriptions, signatures, and dates. Produces incomplete program solutions that are difficult to visualize. Missing several details for effective communication, including labels, descriptions, signatures, and dates. Solution is not accurate and includes a medium-quality sketch or 3D model. Meets some of the required design concepts. Is missing most details for effective communication, including labels, descriptions, signatures, and dates.

Topics
Design Requirements Quality and Functionality

4 points
Fully meets design requirements. Mechanism functions correctly, consistently, and the chosen parts are appropriate.

Physical Solution 3 points

Meets most design requirements and supports the design function. Mechanism functions most of the time, and the chosen parts are appropriate.

2 points
Meets some requirements but not enough to support the design function. Mechanism sometimes functions, and the parts are not chosen appropriately.

1 point
Does not meet design requirements. Mechanism rarely functions, and the parts are not chosen appropriately.
