Demonstrate understanding of how technological modelling supports decision-making
This standard asks you to understand how engineers and designers use models and prototypes to test ideas and make decisions about technology. You need to identify what modelling was done, what evidence it produced, and explain how that evidence helped decide what the final product should be like and what problems might occur.
You identify what modelling was done and what evidence it produced, then describe how this evidence influenced design decisions.
You explain why the modelling was necessary and why the evidence enabled specific 'what could happen' and 'what should happen' decisions.
You discuss how decisions about risks and outcomes were informed by the modelling, showing you understand the broader relationship between testing, evidence, and design choices.
