Objective:  

    The objective of student process projects is twofold:

        1. Learn about one process or family of processes in depth.

        2. Learn to organize, prepare, and present a major oral briefing on a topic that starts as an

            unknown.

One of the following topics will be assigned to each student for their process project. Each student will be given a class time to present the assigned topic. The presentation will be evaluated by the class and the class instructor. The instructor will be responsible for making the final grade assignment for each project & presentation.
