BME/ISE 1110 ∙ FUNDAMENTALS OF BIE ∙ FALL 2014 “Contemporary Issues in Engineering” – Presentation Assignment The purpose of this assignment is twofold: 1) To investigate a contemporary issue in engineering; and 2) To develop your presentation, technical communication, and teamwork skills as an undergraduate student. The student population is divided into teams of six or seven students and each team is assigned a contemporary topic relevant to the field of biomedical, industrial & human factors engineering. The team assignments are included at the end of this document. Each team is responsible for the following: 1) Get together outside of class and delegate tasks; 2) Research the topic using the web other resources; 3) Develop a five-minute PowerPoint presentation, to be uploaded to Pilot by a designated team member prior to the day of the presentation (including references at the end); 4) Present to the class on the specified dates for each team (below) - each team member is required to speak; and 5) Submit a one-page hardcopy document the day of your presentation describing the division of labor between team members (i.e., who was responsible for which task and how much time was spent) with a signature from each member of the team at the bottom indicating mutual agreement. The presentation schedule is as follows, given by team number (again, refer to the attached team assignments): Date Wednesday October 22nd Friday October 24th Teams 1-7 8-14 Presentation grading rubric: a) Depth of research (how thoroughly the topic is covered in the allotted time): 20% b) Quality of visual presentation: 20% c) Quality of oral communication (separate grade for each student): 20% d) Division of labor (separate grade for each student based on submitted document): 20% e) Presentation fitting into the allotted time: 20% Additionally, each student is to electronically submit a two-page double-spaced document the day of the presentation summarizing the assigned topic and commenting on its relevance to society, mankind, and civilization. This is a separate grade from the presentation. All work must be individual for this. You will turn this into Pilot with further instructions.Team # Team Members Topic 1 Alzanbqi, Malak A.
