Team(s) with the highest raw score awarded maximum competition points, with all others scaled proportionally.. penalties are applied after scaling.

2 Formula SAE-A: Design Scoring Process Judges will score each of the following criteria: CRITERIA WEIGHTING DESCRIPTION Process 0% Engineering project objective/constraint definition, planning evaluation Analysis 0% Research, benchmarking, integration, modelling iteration(s) of the product Validation 0% Execute, document review testing to show the design operates as intended Understing 0% Student(s) knowledge of the system being discussed meets industry stard Resources 0% Effective use of resources (financial, workshop, personnel, computation, etc.) Scores are determined using the below Rubric: RATING % RANGE DESCRIPTION Outsting The team has very high level of There is clear evidence of considerable original innovative work of high quality, including analysis or other evaluation. Substantial experimental numerical analysis had been undertaken. completed to a very high stard. Very Good The team has high level of Good The team has more than adequate level of Adequate The team has minimum level of There is clear evidence of considerable original work of high quality, reasonable innovation, including analysis or other evaluation. Some experimental /or numerical analysis had been undertaken. There is evidence of the team's ability to synthesise organise information in a useful critical manner. However, the team's work requires further experimental /or numerical analysis. completed to a high stard. completed to a reasonable stard. There is evidence of the team's ability to synthesise organise information in a useful critical manner. However, the team's work showed several shortcomings required substantial additional research /or analysis. The presentation results was free of error of a very high stard. The presentation results was free of error of a high stard, but some aspects could be improved. The presentation results was of a good stard, but required improvement in several key areas. The presentation results met the minimum level of competence, but required substantial overall improvement. Inadequate The team s work is deficient in one or more of the judged, shows substantial shortcomings in the results /or analysis. Failed 0-49 The team's work is so deficient with respect to one or more of the judged that it cannot be considered to have met the expected level of knowledge understing of the Formula SAE criteria. Notes: To achieve a rating (Outsting, Very Good, etc.), all description criteria must be satisfied, else the next lowest rating is to be given; e.g. drop to "Good" from "Very Good" if only achieving 3 out of 4 criteria. Judges can apply any percentage value within the range shown for the achieved rating, to grade performance establish relative performance of individual teams.
