Five Part Project One-page list of issues/questions on your Topic Why exactly, did things in your topic unfolded as they did. What are the implications? How the history of computing unfold in your topic? What lessons we can draw or learn for the future in your topic? Bios of 4 to 6 key individuals (12-18 ppt, 8-12 page report) 10 slide PPT presentation and 10 page report on the ethical, social, and professional issues of your topic. 15-20 page final report on your topic that should explore the Why as well as the what, and attempt to distill lessons of broad applicability. Consider factors such as markets, consumer preferences, government policies, and other dynamics that aren’t solely technological. 50-60 slide PPT presentation template on your topic. Class Presentation Integrates Topic, Bio, and Ethics PPTs

HoC Topics Future of internet of things and interconnected society Umanitarian open source  ML and NLP for medical diagnosis and learning in disease and discovering cure's Advancement towards humanlike intelligence in computing  Future of PCs and laptops and their usage, movement away from traditional computing Review of computing in space program and speculate on Impact on space program if  1980s technology used http://www.npr.org/2016/09/25/495179824/hidden-figures-how-black-women-did-the-math-that-put-men-on-the-moon 

HoC Topics Review of computing in avionics (air and space craft) from embedded computing through first use of programming languages like Pascal and Ada in software to control aircraft. Predicting the next step after mobile computing. Your own Team Defined Topic

U Wash HoC Topics Study the history of the use of computing in a particular application domain banking, Wall Street, aircraft design, etc. Study the impact of computing on a particular aspect of society (entertainment, medicine, trade/commerce, politics). Study the impact on computing of some major event (WW II, terrorism, the Digital Millenium Copyright Act, etc.). Study a failed product, service, or prediction in computing. http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2015/07/the-secret-startup-saved-healthcare-gov-the-worst-website-in-america/397784/ Describe a potential alternate history if some event had not influenced computing, if some company had behaved differently, if competition had turned out differently or if some device/algorithm/application/discovery had not occurred (e.g., the spreadsheet, the Web browser (ftp remains dominant)).
