Received Points

Possible

Title Page

 Creative Team Name (2 pts.)  Names of all Participants listed in alphabetical order by last name (3 pts.)  Logo/Creative Graphic (5 pts. extra credit)

5

Needs Assessment  Specific needs/problems identified (4 pts.)  Client described/identified (1 pt.)

5

Problem Definition

 Description of the problem to be solved (5 pts.)  Problem Statement should describe the nature of the problem, as well as express what the

design is intended to accomplish.

 Should include: undesirable initial state, desired goal, obstacles  Too general (-1 pt.)  Too limited in scope (-1 pt.)

5

Background Research

 Conducted to obtain a deeper understanding of the problem.  What has been written on the topic?  What must the design do?  What features or attributes should the solution have?

 Minimum 2 concepts/topics mentioned with sources cited (2 pts. each)  Demonstrate understanding of concepts/topics (1 pt.)

5

Design Criteria

 List desirable characteristics/goals of the solution (min. 5, 1 pt. each)  Reflect the client’s priorities and may contain inherent trade-offs  Do not constrain the solution (-1 pt. if constraints)

5

Design Constraints  Quantitative boundaries associated with design objective which limit the possible number of

solutions to a given design problem.

 List of constraints (min. 5, 1 pt. each) 5

Alternative Solutions

 Minimum two (2) house design options (must be AutoCAD drawings with no dimensions displayed) (5 pts. each)

 Explanation of how solutions were reached 10

Analysis

 Use mathematical/engineering principles to evaluate each solution.  Objective is to eliminate any infeasible solutions.

 List pro’s and con’s (min. 5, 1 pt. each) 5

Evaluation & Selection

 Assessment of alternative solution and selection of the best solution  Criteria weighted and selection given numerical basis (2 pt.)  Clearly indicate which design is selected (2 pts.)  Reason for selection communicated (1 pt.)

5

Specification

 Selected design features configured and arranged.  Dimensions/Materials specified (3 pts.)  Adherence to constraints/attention to criteria (1 pt.)  Instructions for implementation (1 pt.)

5

Communication

 Communicate the chosen design solution  Final AutoCAD Drawing of selected Site Plan, which must include:

 Property lines with dimensions. (3 pts.)  Exterior dimensions of proposed building, including any architectural

projections. (5 pts.)  Proposed driveway, patio, sidewalk, walkways, etc. with dimensions, including

location of swimming pool and/or hot tub, if applicable. (5 pts.)  Setbacks from the structure to the property lines with dimensions (3 pts.)  Address of the construction site (1 pt.)  North Arrow (1 pt.)

 Written statement (2 pts.)

Overall Presentation/

General

 PowerPoint nicely formatted (5 pts.)  Adheres to time limit (7 minutes) (5 pts.)  Clear and concise presentation (3 pts.)  Avoids redundancy (no info belonging in other section) (2 pts.)  Well written (good grammar, proofreading, creativity) (3 pts.)  Use of headings/captions to make presentation easier to follow (2 pts.)  Drawings are clear and easy to understand (5 pts.)  Creative, unique, or “extra” effort (5 pts. extra credit)
