Evaluate the Design Solution (Continued) Expert Proficient Competent Beginner Novice Refine solution Solution is refined in a manner consistent with constraints and criteria. Solution is in constant refinement, based on continuous data gathering. Solution is refined in a manner consistent with constraints. Changes represent some improvement to the quality and functionality of the solution. Solution is refined to be consistent with design constraints and criteria. Refinements may be cosmetic and may not be significant. Some minor refinement of the original solution. Refinements are primarily cosmetic in nature and contribute only marginally to the quality or effectiveness of the solution. Solution is accepted "as is". Criteria and constraints are not referenced. No data is collected to evaluate the solution. Reporting All aspects of the design process are including the processes used, design details, and resources. Documentation package is well organized, highly reflective, technically accurate, and communicates effectively to others. The design process is documented including the processes used, design details, and resources. Drawings are technical and provide essential information Documentation is fairly organized. Some insights concerning design changes and refinements are detailed. Documentation of design processes are factual and include all components. Drawings are technical and provide essential information. Reflections are limited to facts, with limited depth. Some attention to documentation with a preference for graphically depicting the design. Little evidence of a clear organizational scheme. Some design stages may not be documented. Little documentation is done of either the product design or of the design process. Documentation is limited to hand-drawn sketches and sketchy, handwritten notes.
