The Grade 11 Engineering rubric is designed to assess students’ understanding and application of key engineering principles in a structured and objective manner. It evaluates students across multiple criteria; including problem-solving; design process; technical knowledge; collaboration; and communication. Each criterion is broken down into specific performance levels; allowing educators to provide clear feedback and students to track their progress. Problem-solving assesses a student’s ability to identify; analyze; and develop solutions for engineering challenges using logical reasoning and creativity. The design process evaluates how well students follow structured steps—such as research; prototyping; testing; and iteration—to develop functional solutions. Technical knowledge measures the accuracy and depth of students’ understanding of engineering concepts; tools; and materials relevant to their projects. Collaboration focuses on teamwork; assessing how effectively students contribute to group projects; share responsibilities; and resolve conflicts. Communication evaluates both written and verbal skills; ensuring students can clearly explain their ideas; document their work; and present findings professionally. This rubric supports student growth by providing measurable benchmarks and encouraging self-assessment. It helps educators identify strengths and areas for improvement; allowing for targeted instruction. By aligning with real-world engineering practices; the rubric prepares students for future academic and career challenges while fostering critical thinking; innovation; and practical skills. The structured feedback ensures fairness and consistency in grading while promoting a deeper understanding of engineering disciplines.
