This is the front door for final products in EGRS 451, the capstone seminar in engineering and society at Lafayette College. The class was comprised of students graduating as majors in Engineering Studies.  The eleven projects below are the result of their Fall 2013 projects, each one of which was aimed at demonstrating the interdisciplinary skills of an EGRS major, developing a public presence for those skills, and showing how EGRS majors can lead and push forward public debates about science, technology and engineering in society.

Each project title is followed by an accompanying link to the Project Memo (in *.pdf format).  Those memos summarize the basic research question of the project and provide background context, summary points, and suggestions for future work.  They also include annotated bibliographies of resources for readers interested in finding out more about the topic. Some students produced on-line products (websites, presentations, videos).  Those links also appear after the project title.

All projects from this semester, along with those from prior years, are also hosted at this site: Engineering Studies Student Research Archive. (Check here to find projects just from the SP12 capstone classes and here for SP13.)
