Technical Content Evaluation Criteria

Section Topic Points Score

Introduction

Background: Identify your client/competition; identify your assigned site; and present a rough sketch of your site (include North arrow, labels for points, and some significant landmarks).

5

Objectives: State your group's primary and secondary objective(s).

2

 

Tasks: Identify at least three specific tasks required to meet your objective(s)

3

 

Methods/Procedures

Measuring elevations: Identify your site's benchmark, describe your procedure for estimating the elevations of the site's four corner points, define equations for HI and Elevation, present a table of the leveling data for the corner points, and discuss your group’s error in elevation measurement.

7

 

Determination of grid spacing: Introduce the grid system for elevations; compute grid spacing using the measurements from each side of your site; present results in a table; give a rationale for selecting appropriate grid spacing; and give the value of the grid spacing.

6

 

Construction of elevations grid: Discuss your procedure for laying out your grid; provide a drawing of your grid layout with grid labels and benchmarks identified.

6

 

Presentation of elevation data: Present a table or chart of the elevations of your grid points.

4

Computing contour map: Discuss the mathematical procedure for computing contour lines using linear interpolation; present a diagram of the linear interpolation model using elevation data.

6  

Contour map: Provide a contour map of your site including North arrow, street and building markings, contour line labels.

6  

Discussion

Characteristics of site - slope and direction: Give the elevation of the highest and lowest points on your site, the direction of the value of the predominate slope, and an estimate of the site area (ft.2).
