contemporary issue

 
We will define a contemporary issue (CI) to be any unfolding story with an unclear future that engineers and scientists could influence. So, the CI has a technological component to it. Also, the CI has large scope: it could affect many Americans or even has global impact.

For this HW assignment, each individual student needs to do the following:

1. Go to the public library or use a search engine for the popular press to find a recent (this year) substantial article on a CI that interests you and read it. For our purposes, the popular press are magazines, newspapers, etc. devoted to a broad readership. Some examples would be Newsweek, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Atlantic, and The Economist.

2. Using MS Word, write a one-page summary of the article. The line spacing, font size, and margins should be similar to this document. Your paper’s title would be “Summary and analysis of ….” and would give the name of the article, its author, and the publication details. Below the title give your name and the date.

3. After the summary, use one additional page to speculate on the future direction of the CI, i.e. what could be the impact to society, business and the economy, etc. Try to speculate on what role engineers and scientists might play in influencing that future.

4. Submit your 2-page document into the “Contemporary Issue” dropbox in D2L ahead of the deadline.

Here are a few examples of Contemporary Issues that seem to fit the bill, but these are not required for you to use. Find something that you find personally interesting.

Commercialization of drones (unmanned aerial vehicles).

Growing awareness of long term effects of concussions from sports

Growing concern of hospital-related infections

Emerging social media-based contract services like Uber and Airbnb

Comprehensive Literature Review

 
Submit your final literature review. This should be a complete, polished artifact containing all of the main elements of the final product. It should reflect the incorporation of feedback gained throughout the course. You should comprehensively review and integrate (at a minimum) seven scholarly resources, including peer-reviewed research articles and/or well-respected texts.
Final Project Considerations

As you move towards your final project, it is important to focus on a specific test that has research based psychometrics. Most of this information can be found in the Buros. It would be good to summarize the norming of the test. This should include the type of validity and reliability. Ethically, you may also want to review the administrative components such as the class (e.g. Class C refers to only psychologists can administer the test). The importance of cultural differences is a key component to the use of the test. Make sure you discuss this in your final project. In reviewing the midterms, it may be good to comment if the test can be administered by computer or is it computer adaptive. Remember, the computer adaptive is based on item response theory (IRT). IRT describes the properties of the test items and the examinee’s ability. Laslty, you may also comment on how your selected test compares to other similar tests. This is where queendom.com site may be helpful, but not required. There are many tests at this site that speaks to the current “pop” psychology culture. So of the tests may require a register and a fee to actually take. I’m mot requiring you to complete any of these tests, however, I find that becoming directly familiar with a test is essential in future practice.
I’m pleased with your discussions and midterm examinations. In summary, most of you have done well in answering the questions. I have recommended that you integrate your discussions and midterm information into your final paper. In other words, you should be able to overview the psychometric aspects of the selected instrument (e.g. concurrent validity, Cronbach alpha, norm group), administration/scoring components (e.g. T scores, percentiles, z scores), cultural/ethical issues (e.g. ethical standards in administration).
