This assignment deals with addressing team's ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors (ABET: SO-2.2)

Part I: Make sure you read the following two articles carefully (everyone should read it)

1. https://medium.com/kickstarter/ethical-electronics-47be26d7d178 (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. 
2. http://interactions.acm.org/blog/view/ethical-design (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. 

Part II: Write one full page and elaborate on the following points within the context of your project (Team Assignment)

• Make sure you use minimum of TWO references and cite them throughout the text. 
• What is the definition of ethical design? Explain how it is related to your product.
• What are the ethical considerations about the technologies that you are using in your project?
• How sustainable is your project? What happens to the device when it stops working? How does it impact the environment and its resources? Are you using biodegradable products? Are you using a modular design approach?
• How useful is this product to the human well-being? Do we really need it? Does it really help people, animals, environment? What social, environmental, cultural, implications could this project potentially create?
• Have you thought about moral issues? e.g., is ßit ok to trap animals and then kill them? It is ok to automate the factory, and give jobs away to robots?
• How is your design interface? Have you thought about people with disabilities? How can they use your products? Can an older person with limited vision and movements use your product?
• Could there be a potential harmful aspect to your project that you should consider? For example, could generating high power RF signal be harmful for the people living in the neighborhood?
• PAY ATTENTION to the RUBRIC. This is how you get a grade.
