Aerospace Robotics Competition
Rubrics-Revision A
Grading
See Appendix A for the Ethical Presentation Rubric. See Section 3.7.2 to further understand the process of this presentation. Note that some points are open to interpretation, and teams are encouraged to be creative in their responses.
Academic Validity:
Explanation of theory/doctrine: Present proposed solution to ethical dilemma Discuss theory/doctrine behind this decision Programming the drone: Describe programming to achieve the proposed solution
Comprehension and Elocution:
Comprehension: Demonstrate clear understanding of the problem and why engineering ethics would be critical in this situation Elocution: Deliver information in a comprehendible and professional manner
Discussion:
All speak and demonstrate inclusion Students demonstrate respect during disagreements Students value one another’s ideas* Note: teams will not be graded on the content of this discussion, only the collaborative efforts. Thus, students should feel free to communicate and not fear suggesting “wrong” answers during this discussion.
Q&A Responses:
Team professionally answers all questions from judges
*Note an important concept for students to learn: in engineering, the best way to come together and select the best solution is by viewing everyone as a cohesive unit. Do not focus on “my idea,” but instead seek “our progress” in discussions.
