Curricular Competency Testing
  • Identify and communicate with sources of feedback
  • Develop an appropriate test of the prototype, conduct the test, and collect and compile data
  • Evaluate design according to critiques, testing results, and success criteria to make changes
 Engineering 12 Applied Design
Keyword: sources of feedback Elaboration: may include peers; users; First Nations, Métis, or Inuit community experts; other experts and professionals both online and offline
Keyword: appropriate test Elaboration: includes evaluating the degree of authenticity required for the setting of the test, deciding on an appropriate type and number of trials, and collecting and compiling data
Curricular Competency Prototyping
  • Choose an appropriate form, scale, and level of detail for prototyping, and plan procedures
  • Analyze the design for the life cycle and evaluate its impacts
  • Visualize and construct prototypes, making changes to tools, materials, and procedures as needed
  • Record iterations of prototyping
 Engineering 12 Applied Design
Keyword: impacts Elaboration: including social and environmental impacts of extraction and transportation of raw materials; manufacturing, packaging, and transportation to markets; servicing or providing replacement parts; expected usable lifetime; and reuse or recycling of component materials
Keyword: iterations Elaboration: repetitions of a process with the aim of approaching a desired result
Curricular Competency Ideating
  • Identify and examine gaps for potential design improvements and innovations
  • Critically analyze how competing social, ethical, and sustainability considerations impact creation and development of solutions
  • Generate ideas to create a range of possibilities and add to others’ ideas in ways that create additional possibilities
  • Evaluate suitability of possibilities according to success criteria, constraints, and potential gaps, and prioritize for prototyping
  • Work with users throughout the design process

Keyword: Elaboration:
Curricular Competency Defining
  • Establish a point of view for a chosen design opportunity
  • Identify potential users, intended impacts, and possible unintended negative consequences
  • Make decisions about premises and constraints that define the design space, and develop criteria for success
  • Determine whether activity is collaborative or self-directed
 Engineering 12 Applied Design
Keyword: constraints Elaboration: limiting factors, such as task or user requirements, materials, expense, environmental impact
Curricular Competency Understanding context
  • Engage in a period of user-centred research and empathetic observation to understand design opportunities
 Engineering 12 Applied Design
Keyword: user-centred research Elaboration: research done directly with potential users to understand how they do things and why, their physical and emotional needs, how they think about the world, and what is meaningful to them
Keyword: empathetic observation Elaboration: aimed at understanding the values and beliefs of other cultures and the diverse motivations and needs of different people may be informed by experiences of people involved; traditional cultural knowledge and approaches; First Peoples worldviews, perspectives, knowledge, and practices; places, including the land and its natural resources and analogous settings; experts and thought leaders
