My choice of technology was 3D print
This course is not just about critically analyzing the technology designed by others. You will also use the material you have learned this semester to innovate and design a new technology of your own.
You will write a 7-10 page (typed, double-spaced) paper outlining your proposal for this new piece of technology.
This technology must reflect an application of at least one of the psychological principles/theories we discussed in class or a principle/theory that you have researched on your own.
This product can be an improvement to a current technology, or an entirely novel technology.
