Appendix on Implementing District Standards

Students will focus on three main NGSS Engineering Performance Expectations.  Students will be able to identify problems that require bioengineering solutions for a vulnerable population (Analyze a major global challenge to specify qualitative and quantitative criteria and constraints for solutions that account for societal needs and wants. HS-ETS1-1).  Students will be able to design one solution for that population (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-ETS1-2).  Students will be able to assess the viability of their solution (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-ETS1-3).
