The Report (5 marks)

Quality of report website structure and layout Evidence of adherence to the principles of good user interface design Adherence to the word count and video length

1. Meeting the brief - max 400 words (27 marks)

Meeting the basic requirements of the brief.

1. Embedded system design Build a functional embedded system that uses at least one digital input and at least one analogue input The system must generate at least one primary output which can be either digital or analogue The system can be started or calibrated manually but should operate automatically once started

2. Data collection Use your embedded system to collect and store environmental data that relates to your chosen theme The stored data will be used as part of your model in the advanced requirements

3. Process simulation Configure your embedded system to simulate a real-world process related to the theme Run tests to show how the system responds using different inputs or changing environmental data

Meeting the advanced requirements of the brief.

1. Disaster risk modelling Using Python, develop a computer model of a chosen disaster risk scenario related to forests Your model must use some data collected from your embedded system and can be combined with open-source data or simulated data

2. What-if simulations Explore how your forest disaster risk model behaves under different conditions by creating and testing two "what-if" scenario simulations Each scenario should involve changing one or more key variables and observing the resulting changes in system behaviour or predicted risk

3. Adaptive system Extend your system to include a feedback mechanism that enables it to adapt automatically to changing conditions The adaptive response can be either physical (extending the embedded system) or virtual (changing the model so that it adjusts automatically)

2. Investigation ≈400 words (10 marks)

Research on the brief, including research on existing solutions Consideration of how research informs decisions about project

3. Plan and design ≈600 words (18 marks)

Clear, detailed description of the design objectives Consideration of different options and justification of design choices Consideration of stakeholders and end user's needs The technologies that will be used System architecture/high-level flowchart showing components

4. Create ≈800 words (20 marks)

Describe the key milestones of the development process Describe the testing that took place during development Explain a problem that was encountered and how it was overcome Describe the model or embedded system algorithm that was programmed

5. Evaluation ≈300 words (10 marks)

An evaluation of your final artefact Suggest how you would further improve/iterate this project
