Week 18: Production-Fidelity STEM Application

PLTW Element E, Iteration 2 — Application of STEM Principles and Practices, at production fidelity.

Full Sub-System Integration Plan

Map out how every sub-system in your Beta design (frontend/backend, sensor/controller, model/pipeline, etc.) integrates with the others — interfaces, data contracts, failure boundaries.
This is the level of detail a production engineering team would need to divide work across people without collisions.

Updated Technical Drawings / Architecture Diagrams

Revise your Element E (Sprint 2) diagrams to reflect the Beta design: what’s new, what’s removed, what’s changed and why.

Advanced STEM Principles

Document the more advanced math/CS/engineering principles the Beta requires that the Alpha didn’t — e.g. a more rigorous algorithm, a statistical validation method, a load-handling strategy.
