Mines Capstone Design is seeking judges to review 10 student submitted Broader Impacts Essays.
Every semester, Capstone Design students are assigned to write an individual essay about how their area of engineering impacts the social, environmental, and/or economic lives of communities and individuals. The top 10 essays from this group of approximately 125 senior engineering students were chosen by faculty and now need final assessment. The top three essays will be determined by Mines alumni and external partners, and the authors will be recognized at the Capstone Awards Breakfast.
The prompt for this semester’s essays is: Designed systems can impact the behaviors of people and environments. Develop a position that argues how an engineered system has positively or negatively impacted the behavior of society, the environment, and/or the economy. The essay must be related to your project and use contemporary, concrete examples in the arguments.
Sign up by selecting the "Respond" button located towards the top of this page. Someone will then be in touch to provide you with the essays and instructions on how to submit your assessments. Essays will first be distributed to volunteers starting Monday, Nov. 3 and will continue to be distributed on a rolling basis until Nov. 21. Registration will close for new volunteers on Thursday, Nov. 20.
All essay reviews need to be submitted by Thursday, Dec. 4.
