I can explain the need for an engineering solution to a problem by application of math, science and technology.
I can use spatial visualization to interpret graphical representations of objects.
I can formulate solutions that use automation and programming to solve a problem.
I can use physical properties to inform decisions.
Learning Habits
I can complete coursework in a timely manner, meet grade level expectations, and maintain a focus on learning by being reflective and exhibiting a growth mindset.
LH.1
I can complete coursework independently, in a timely manner, and meet grade level expectations.
LH.2
I can contribute individually to the overall collaborative efforts with my team in a timely manner.
LH.3
I can maintain a focus on learning by being reflective and exhibiting a growth mindset.
Notes:
Skill competencies will require multiple pieces of evidence throughout the year. It’s not a one and done expectation.
If you don’t score as well as you’d like on an assignment, you may have another chance to demonstrate proficiency or higher on a later assignment that assesses the same competency. Or, you may be able to revise. Ask your teacher.
If you think an assignment could serve as a piece of evidence for one of these competencies, ask your teacher and make a case for why it should be considered evidence.
