Final Project


Objectives


This assignment must be done individually. It replaces your second exam and your library outreach project.

Create a new Microsoft Word or text document named YourUserName-FL. 

Your Task

This final project assignment is designed to give you flexibility in independently researching some area which you find interesting in the field of robotics and then to write an essay on your research.  Your topic of research may be on any area which is clearly related to robotics, and your introduction should be used to make clear how your topic is related to robotics if it is not inherently clear. 

Note that a specific and narrow area of interest with specific detail is generally preferable to a broad overview which is lacking in specifics.

Many students have chosen to research an area of robotics related to one of their areas of interest.  An Asian Studies Computer Science double major choose to research the current state of robotics in Japan.  A Business major/Computer Science minor choose to research the expanding market of robotics in the USA. An education major taking this course as an elective researched the use of robotics in K-12. An independent major in journalism interested in the military taking the course as an elective researched the history of robots in the military.  These were all really good final projects.  The bottom line is that I recommend that you try to focus on something you are really interested in.

I would be very happy to talk to you about your topic as well as to work with you on drafts in advance of the deadline.  My hope is that you identify a topic which you will enjoy researching.

Technical details:

When you are finished, save your essay  file as YourUserName-FL and submit the file to the appropriate location in Moodle.
