In middle school, students develop an understanding of disciplinary core ideas in the engineering design domain. The middle school performance expectations build on the elementary performance expectations. In ETS1: Engineering Design, performance expectations are designed for students to engage in the engineering design process in a way that is personally relevant and on an appropriate scale.
High school performance expectations in engineering design build on middle school experiences and understandings. Through the performance expectations in high school ETS1: Engineering Design, students are called on to engage in the engineering design process to address complex real-world problems that account for societal needs and wants and use practical criteria. Students are also expected to use computers to model engineering solutions. In doing so, students must integrate practices of science and engineering, as well as crosscutting concepts and core ideas.
