📌 HS-ETS1 Engineering Design 4 standards
HS-ETS1-1
Specify criteria/constraints for a global challenge
Analyze a major global challenge to specify qualitative and quantitative criteria and constraints for solutions that account for societal needs and wants.
HS-ETS1-2
Design a solution by breaking a problem into smaller parts
Design a solution to a complex real-world problem by breaking it down into smaller, more manageable problems that can be solved through engineering.
HS-ETS1-3
Evaluate solution using prioritized criteria and trade-offs
Evaluate a solution to a complex real-world problem based on prioritized criteria and trade-offs that account for a range of constraints, including cost, safety, reliability, and aesthetics, as well as possible social, cultural, and environmental impacts.
HS-ETS1-4
Simulate impact of proposed solutions on interacting systems
Use a computer simulation to model the impact of proposed solutions to a complex real-world problem with numerous criteria and constraints on interactions within and between systems relevant to the problem.
