An "assessment blueprint" is a document that indicates the knowledge and skills that will

be covered in an assessment instrument and the percentage of the assessment that will be

devoted to each area of knowledge and skills. The Minnesota assessment blueprints will be

used to review the appropriateness of existing assessments by determining how closely those

assessments match up to what the Engineering and Technology career pathway working

groups have determined should be assessed. The assessment blueprints can also be used to

guide the development of new assessments where suitable third-party assessments do not
