Team Assignment: Needs Assessment & Problem Formulation

Program Outcome Notes j.2 Identify the Problem 0 points none of: - clear & accurate description - how problem arose - validated through observation, interviews, etc. - sufficient detail Describe who will use the solution Did not identify any & where. How will individuals individual/group that would benefit from the solution? use/benefit from the solution 1 point 1 of: - clear & accurate description - how problem arose - validated through observation, interviews, etc. - sufficient detail identified 1 individual/group that would use/benefit from the solution 2 points 2 of: - clear & accurate description - how problem arose - validated through observation, interviews, etc. - sufficient detail identified multiple individual(s)/group(s) that would use/benefit from the solution 3 points 3 of: - clear & accurate description - how problem arose - validated through observation, interviews, etc. - sufficient detail identified multiple individual(s)/group(s) that would use/benefit from the solution & described impact of the design authors demonstrate some authors demonstrate a good underst&ing of the current state of underst&ing of the current state of technology technology 4 points All of: - clear & accurate description - how problem arose - validated through observation, interviews, etc. - sufficient detail described global impact of the solution

Background material on current no background on current state of authors do not understand the state of technology: awareness of technology current state of technology well contemporary technology Background material on current state of technology: relevant biological principles Background material on current state of technology: relevant engineering principles Summarize the problem & need Did not identify any biological principles relevent to existing technology (or the design)

authors have a thorough underst&ing & provide insight into the current state of technology described relevance or significance of 2 biological principles to existing technology (or the design) described relevance or significance of 2 engineering principles to existing technology (or the design) Contained all of the following: - prob summary - clear & succinct need statement - clear relationship/connection between prob & need - no irrelevant info Discussed 4 of the following: - safety - environmental protection - reliability - performance - biocompatibility Thoroughly discussed all relevant ethical considerations, for ex: - consequences of design failure - intellectual property - socioeconomic considerations - etc. Thoroughly discussed all of the applicable issues: - public acceptance - FDA regulations - relevant laws 5+ design specs were listed with numerical quantities & units

Made generic statements regarding ethical considerations, for ex: - consequences of design failure - intellectual property - socioeconomic considerations - etc. Design goals: public acceptance, Discussed none of the applicable Briefly discussed 1 of the FDA regulations, applicable laws issues: applicable issues: - public acceptance - public acceptance - FDA regulations - FDA regulations - relevant laws - relevant laws List design specifications with No design specs were listed 2 design specs were listed with numerical quantities where numerical quantities & units applicable, including units.

Design goals: ethical standards (if Did not discuss any ethical significant ethical issues exist; if considerations even though they not, should discuss why there are exist none)
