Project Description


For your term project for this class, you will conceive, research, and write a study of an area of interest in science and technology policy. You will work in groups of 4-5 students. The reports will be based on the format and process of the National Research Council (NRC), the leading source of advice to the U.S. Government and the science and technology community, and supplemented with views and analysis techniques learned in ESD.10. Throughout the project, the structure of the assignment will help you simulate the way studies are executed in the National Research Council. Thus, one useful bi-product of this experience is learning about the NRC study process. The term project is also your opportunity to synthesize what you will learn over the course of this semester and apply it to a real world problem.
