Element C Portfolio in Google Classroom

Element C Portfolio

Requirements:

List of customer requirements with explanation of how each was derived from the pros and cons. Should have coverage of the Eight Fundamental Design Criteria from the Element C powerpoint.
List of product specifications (concrete, measurable) with an explanation for why those metrics were chosen (ideally with support from external sources, not just your own speculation or made-up values).
Similar Solution Matrix consisting of your Element B solutions judged against your customer requirements using a 1-3-9 scale.  1 = doesn't meet requirement. 3 = meets requirement. 9 = exceeds requirements. Should have some brief explanation about why the various solutions received the scores they did. You can take a screenshot of this spreadsheet and put it directly into the google doc. Also separately link the sheets document.
Mosquitos: Good customer requirements and breakdown for what 1/3/9 represents. Several product specs not actually concrete.

Coyotes: No breakdown of what 1/3/9 categories are, but good explanations as to why each product in the matrix got 1/3/9. Appearance customer requirement incomplete. Some product specs not concrete. Great citations.


Reminders:

Support your product specs with citations. Have reasons for the values you choose.
Make sure the product specs are concrete!
You can weight more important customer requirements higher in your similar solution matrix. For example, in the attached image, the "bioplastics actually get degraded" is weighted higher than other requirements because it is crucial to the success of the solution.
