Less than10 min OR more than 18 min
Below Expectations (5-7)
Problem statement contains errors, biases,
or implied solutions
Milestones only or primarily from
syllabus, few project-specific; tasks
unassigned
General needs are identified, but are
stated in a somewhat unclear manner.
The estimations are vague or unrealistic
Limited search/benchmark/research, some
information on competitors/customer
preference
Opportunities are identified, but are
stated in a somewhat unclear manner.
Limited consideration of energy, mass,
and signal flows; level of detail
insufficient to provide insight
Included, but without customer input,
limited discussion of methods
ECs incl., but incomplete; not well
correlated to CRs; EC ranking incl.
The constraints are vague or unrealistic
Specifications are identified, but are
stated in a somewhat unclear manner.
Too vague to be useful; too detailed to be
correct; missing items; limited discussion
of researched vs. est. costs
Evidence of preparation but some
rambling or tangents; slides adequate
Between 10 min – 13 minutes OR
between 15 min to 18 min
