CMU Lessons from The Panama Canal Case Study & Movie Review

0 comments

Paper 1: 

For the case study, students will prepare an assessment of between 1100 and 1200 words of text, 1.5 spaced. Each case study should have a separate bibliography including at least 2 references beyond lecture material, using APA format. Bibliography does not count towards word count.  Each assessment should have:

  1. Title
  2. Topic sentence (a single sentence or two which summarize the student’s understanding of the situation, the actions taken by the consulting engineer, and lessons learned)
  3. Situation assessment (What was the factual situation on the ground? What were the main challenges? What role could, and should, the consulting engineer play? What ESEM principles are present?)
  4. Lessons learned (this should include not just the lessons learned by the consulting engineer as expressed in the case study, but the lessons learned by the student looking at the case study as a whole

Paper 2:

Write a one-page movie review discussing the implications of emerging technologies, from robotics and genetics to ICT, for human identity and the idea of what “human” means, using The Blade Runner as the example. Use style appropriate for a blog – that is, less formal than an academic essay – and, since it is a movie review, remember to give it the appropriate number of thumbs up or thumbs down at the end of your review.
