Impact of Engineering Design Term Paper Assignment
?Topic
Note that this is an individual (not a team) assignment. Show how you and your group understand the impact of your engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context. You must address all of these four areas. “Global” may for example involve things like international markets for your project or device and those that may be similar to yours; “economic” considerations are obvious for marketable products, but considerations for yours may be unique; “environmental” could relate to disposal or reuse of products or those designed with that in mind; and “societal” issues may relate especially to the cost effectiveness related to health/safety or medical use, even home use at a reasonable cost. This (corrected) assignment may appear as part of your final report.

? Global Impact
? Economic Impact
? Environmental Impact
