Circuit Layout Placement, Colour, Wiring |
Logical layout of circuit for easy debugging
Wires extremely neat and well colour coded |
Power and ground always use red and black, but not much other obvious colour coding | Messy wires
No consistent colour coding even for power and ground OR All wires red and black, so they don't identify power and ground uniquely. |
Good choice of input device(s) |
Input device(s) clearly chosen to suit the chosen project | Debugger board | Wires which need to be moved individually |
Good choice of output device(s) |
Output device(s) clearly chosen to suit the chosen project | Debugger board | Output device(s) not obviously functioning |
Circuit - Testing | |||
Inputs clearly labeled |
All inputs clearly labeled, consistent with all references on the poster |
Inputs labeled with some ambiguity
(e.g. unclear bit order, labels not identical with poster, etc.) |
No labeling of individual inputs |
Outputs clearly labeled |
All outputs clearly labeled, consistent with all references on the poster |
Outputs labeled with some ambiguity
(e.g. unclear bit order, labels not identical with poster, etc.) |
No labeling of individual outputs |
Clear operating instructions |
Process explained
Includes clear example(s) |
Process explained, but no (or unclear) example | Process must be inferred from circuit description |
Test successful |
Easy to verify that circuit performs as specified | Hard to verify whether circuit performs as specified | Definite errors in circuit operation |
Poster - Visual | |||
Professional appearance |
Visually appealing; good choice of colours, fonts, etc.

Text and graphics legible from arm's length
Meets basic requirements |
Messy and/or illegible writing
Graphics hard to see or interpret |
Clear, correct language |
Crisp, well-chosen text with no grammar and/or spelling errors | Reasonable text with possibly a few minor grammar and/or spelling errors |
Multiple grammar and/or spelling mistakes
OR little or no explanatory text |
Design Process Illustrated Truth tables, K-maps, circuit diagram, simulation, etc. |
All parts of design process shown
Clear explanation of how the whole process fits together |
All parts of design process shown, but with limited indication of how they fit together |
Some parts of design process not shown
Little or no explanation |
