Each student will create a resume that represents themselves as if they were applying to a real job. The resume is designed to introduce the topics of MIMES and TRIBES and how to design a resume that presents the user's best features while at the same time, meeting the needs of the person who will be viewing the resume and have the user's document stand out from the rest.

The letter is designed to teach the student how to create a personalized letter that shows interest in the position and company in which they are applying for, while at the same time meeting then eeds of the hiring manager, or "Target."
Process Description
Each student will critique a technical procedure or steps, for a specific function or program related to the things done in class. Several different processes will be posted on WebCT from which the students may choose. The final process critique should be submitted as a MS Word document, that is approximately five pages long with headings, graphics, and a table of contents submitted to Turnitin.com and an MS Word file attached in an email sent to the professor.
Group Oral
Groups of 4-5 will prepare a presentation on one of the following topics: Ethics, Cheating, and Plagiarism; False/Deceptive Advertising; Subliminal Messages in Media; Copyright and Infringement; Intellectual Property and Patents; and Engineering Ethics and Professional Codes. Presentations should be 15 minutes including time for questions. Each member of the group must speak and/or answer questions. The groups must make a powerpoint presentation following the guidelines distributed during class and will be asked to post these to WebCT after the presentations. The group oral report here is on Intellectual Property.
Wikipedia Proposal
The first part of the assignment is for each student to write a proposal to the professor that explains the topic chosen and why it is worth creation/revision along with the research that will be used to make the changes. This will enable the professor to see what project the student has chosen and if it will fit inside of the scope of Wikipedia, as well as if it is able to be maintained on the website.
Wikipedia Report Powerpoint
The second part will be an individual oral report in which you present what you found at first, how you revised it, as well as what sources you used and why they are reputable. The student will make an oral report to the class that will last 10 minutes including time for questions that must explain how the page looked when you started and what additions and changes you made that show the work done and why it is worthy of notice.
Wikipedia Memo
The student must write a memo detailing the wiki assignment completed by the student with an argument why what you did is worthwhile. The memo should be written in MS Word and submitted as an attachment emailed to the professor.
