 ASSIGNMENT  # 2 


1)  USING THE DESIGN THINKING APPROACH ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTION
IN THE COMMENTS SECTION BELOW,


DESIGN THINKING 

Take some time to think....now think some more. Your task is to come up with an example of a specific global problem/situation/social ill this type of design thinking would allow you to create a solvable solution to.

It is very important to not let the lack of technology control you thought process or solution to the problem.   You may choose an approach/solution which current technology does not currently support but most certainly could in the future.

Take a moment to consider the down stream affects of your solution could affect generations to come.

If you followed this approach what areas do you think you could consider improvements?  Consider the resources needed to produce technological products.


Take a look at this article below.

Solar Roadways: Let's Do the Math

ASSIGNMENTS # 3 

Read this article about a futuristic road it's a cool article that really begins to outline the parameters around practical engineering practices.    Then take a look at the one about Tesla's new shingles below.   Then move into Augmented reality after that.   

If none of these articles strike your fancy find something that does, read it and share it out later.
