REVISED Spring 2020 Proposal/Project –

WFE Proposals will no longer be group projects. You have two options.

Option 1: Use the item from your Tech Descr as the innovation that solves a problem. Your written Tech Descr will serve as the basis for the Tech Descr section of the proposal. You will need to figure out what problem your item solves. Remember that your problem and solution need to make sense in the real world. If in your view, your item doesn’t naturally solve a problem, you may consider a new or different use for your item to solve a problem or propose an innovation to your item that would allow it to solve a problem.

Option 2: Propose a different project or assignment altogether. Let your engineering imagination run wild. The project must have the same scope as option 1. Here are some examples: write an RFP, conduct an actual Lab or simulation, and write a lab report, create a 15-30 min. education video on some engineering topics with scripts, props, etc. You will submit the basic details of your selection in our Proposal discussion board (3/30-4/2). I will ask clarifying questions, discuss with you, and approve your projects in that discussion. Shortly thereafter, Spring Recess begins. Since I have seen no correspondence canceling Spring Recess, I’m leaving it in the schedule. This break means that there will be more than 2 weeks between approval and our group process. Here’s an outline based on our meeting dates:
