Foundations of HCDE: GMO Corn Research Project

This project was completed as part of an undergraduate course in Foundations of Human Centered Design & Engineering, in Winter 2016.​

 

For this project, I worked with a group of three other Human Centered Design & Engineering students to research the topic of genetically engineered corn. Our group was tasked with researching and writing about academic and public discourse on the topic, interviewing a professional knowledgeable about GMOs, creating a website of our findings, and presenting our key points from the research

My roles:

  • Research public discourse surrounding genetically engineered corn

  • Creation and design of the website

  • Writing sections of the research report: the introduction and the public discourse section

  • Creation of annotated bibliographies for associated references 

  • Present elevator pitch for our topic

  • Final presentation slide regarding "the future of genetically engineered corn"

  • Update twitter with relevant articles pertaining to GMOs
