Engineering Design Process
	Poor 1 pts	Fair 2 pts	Good 3 pts	Excellent 4 pts
Imagine	Poor Little or No evidence of imagine was seen as they worked in a group.	Fair Some evidence of imagine was observed.	Good Good evidence of the group thinking and brainstorming about what they were going to build.	Excellent They really got together as a group and imagined/brainstormed what they were going to build.
Plan	Poor Little or no evidence was planned out. They did not plan what they were going to build nor plan on what materials to use in the building.	Fair Some evidence of a plan. There was some thought to materials/building, but not really thought out.	Good Good evidence of planning done. Materials were listed and thought out, but the plan wasn't quite complete.	Excellent I can really see what you are going to be building. All materials were listed and well thought out. I can't wait to see how you build your airplane.
Design	Poor Your design lacked materials that were needed. It was really hard for me to tell what you built or were building.	Fair Some materials were used correctly.	Good Good use of the materials and plan. The airplane was nice and well put together, but there were parts that weren't well made.	Excellent Great use of materials! You maximized your use of materials and created a great airplane.
Criteria - Straight Flight	Poor Airplane did not fly straight or go at least 2 meters.	Fair Airplane flew somewhat straight but did not go at least 2 meters.	Good Airplane flew straight, but only went 1 meter or less.	Excellent Airplane flew straight and went at least 2 meters.
Criteria - Trick	Poor Airplane did not have a successful trick. There were no directions on how to modify the plane for a trick.	Fair Airplane had a trick, but was not successful. The directions were incomplete or difficult to follow.	Good Airplane had a successful trick. The directions were complete, but somewhat difficult to follow.	Excellent Airplane had a successful and unique trick. The directions on the trick were complete and understandable.
Time Management	Poor Did not use time well. Time was wasted during the imagine, plan, and design phase of engineering.	Fair Sometimes used time well. There were times when the group got off task during the imagine, plan, and design phase.	Good Good use of time, there were a few times when the group got off task, but for the majority of the task time was well spent.	Excellent Great use of time. The group stayed on task during each phase of the process.
Participation	Poor All or Some group members had to be reminded several times to stay on task.	Fair Most group members participated during the building process. The group had to be redirected a few times.	Good The majority of the group members worked together and didn't have to be redirected that much at all.	Excellent All group members worked together flawlessly and got the job done. The group never had to be redirected.
