Use advanced techniques to develop an electronics outcome
This standard asks you to design and build an electronic device or system using advanced techniques (like embedded software, circuit board design, or data storage). You'll need to test it thoroughly to make sure it works properly, explain how the different parts function together, and reflect on broader implications like safety, sustainability, and how it affects users. The key is proving you can use real electronics knowledge and problem-solving to create something that actually works.
You build a working electronics outcome using advanced techniques, test it to confirm it works, explain how the components function, and mention relevant implications.
You build a working electronics outcome, test it thoroughly and make modifications to improve reliability, evaluate why you chose your components, and address several relevant implications in depth.
You continuously improve your design through multiple rounds of testing and refinement, justify every major component and system choice, and demonstrate deep consideration of relevant implications throughout the development process.
