Communication is the key for success in almost any endeavor. As you have seen in the readings this semester, scientists are criticized for their inability to communicate with the general public and even with each other. Not only scientists, but also engineers, are advised to hone their communication skills. The Topic Combining your college writing skills and your newly acquired physics knowledge, choose a sport or phenomenon and describe the topic through words and images that present the concepts and principles of physics behind that topic. The Collaborative Challenge Because you are writing this project collaboratively, you will need to coordinate your efforts as a team.
Some collaborative teams find that dividing the task into components is the most effective method.
The Publishing Challenge You will be designing this project for a web based environment. You need to challenge yourself to think in a nonlinear manner about presenting the material to your reader. Consider how can you use images, hypertext links, sound or video files or other techniques to enhance your project. For example, you may be able to find or produce some photographs that illustrate your topic. You could link your text to those images or you could imbed them in your file.
