Question

This part of the assessment task gives you a chance to explore and present an example of computing and data

being put to work. In high-level terms, we want you to find and investigate a situation where computing and

data are being used to solve problems or design solutions, then describe the underlying algorithm or

computational method to us as a short (1-2 page) case study, using the elements of "motivation", "materials"

and "methods" like case studies presented in class.

You are free to choose whatever situation interests you, but we expect you to treat the topic seriously with

an engineering mindset. You could explore an algorithm that has been around for centuries, or a method that

is at the current frontier of knowledge, or anything in between. This is a chance for you to explore something

that is new and interesting to you, maybe something that could help you decide on your engineering major or

motivate your future career?
