and development to best support their proposed business case. To support the inquiry based learning approach, you will be provided with a basic framework associated with the following focus areas: Task Analysis - analyze the mission/task to be performed Strategy and Design - determine engineering design process, roles, theory of operation, design requirements, system design, crew resources, integration testing, and design updates Costs - calculate costs and anticipated capabilities associated with design and operation, including modification of the design to further support a competitive business case Alternative Uses - identify alternative uses of system to improve marketability and use cases As your team progresses through the challenge you will incrementally be presented with background relating to the composition and operation of UAS designs, basic aeronautical and engineering design principles, UAS application to precision agriculture, and business management and development tools. You will work together as a team with fellow students, coaches, and mentors to identify what you need to learn as you move towards the completion of this challenge. By connecting your own experience and interest you will have an opportunity to gain further insight into the application of design concepts, better understand application of UAS technology, and build those priceless experiences that will guide you on your own path to success. Examine the Challenge and identify what needs to be done: Now that the State Challenge is issued, determine what the goals are and what you will need to do to win. Tip: Look at the RWDC Scoring Rubric and see what the judges will be looking for and design your solution so that they conform to the RWDC Scoring Rubric in the order that they are provided. This helps make sure the judges will see all of your work and will not miss anything. Determine what resources are needed to solve the problem: You will need to figure out what resources you will need to solve the problem. These will include: (a) human resources (team members with expertise needed to do the task you identified); (b) research on what has been done to address the problem by others; and (c) tools needed to do the job. Gather Your Resources Each team’s goal is to create the best solution to the Challenge. This will require students to develop a strategy that addresses the following topics: team expertise, mentor expertise and support, differentiated roles, collaboration, capacity, and approach. Educational materials will be available to support the development of student team strategies, melding the professional practice of product design with the entertainment value of role-playing games.
