Measurable learning outcomes
- 1By the end of this mission, the learner will be able to calculate whether each design generates more power than it draws at full load, and demonstrate this by reporting both figures with units.
- 2By the end of this mission, the learner will be able to model why a design can pass its power check and still fail another, and demonstrate this by citing a check of each kind.
- 3By the end of this mission, the learner will be able to test each design against its stated limits, and demonstrate this by naming every check that needs review.
Concepts and evidence
Concepts: requirement vs constraint
- configuration record + trade matrix + justified design choice
- engineering decision
- evidence provenance statement
- model limitation
Teacher preparation
- Timing
- 55–70 minutes for the complete seven-stage pilot mission
- Vocabulary
- requirement vs constraint
- Differentiation
- Require explicit criteria, quantitative evidence and a traceable limitation statement.
- Assessment
- Review the prediction, evidence selection, engineering decision and limitation. This is formative CubeSTEM programme evidence, not an external accredited grade.
Availability and next step
Engineering limitations
- Professional DSD/profile selection on /missionlab/twins remains reconstructed, not durable.
- Do not claim: durable twin persistence.
- Do not claim: dynamic mass inertia coupling.
