Technology Analysis Project - Final Semester Project

Directions:

1. Technology or piece of equipment or software program chosen is LabVIEW

2. Analyze your interactions with this technology. Ask these questions:

• How has this technology facilitated or helped you with school work?
• How has this technology frustrated you or has hindered any part of your school work?
• How would you have accomplished your project without this technology or with an older version of this technology

3. Write a paragraph (or two paragraphs at most) of about 150-200 words (limit yourself to 250 at the most). Use your responses to the questions above to help you think about and organize your paragraph.

4. Find an image of the technology, then download and save it. Alternately, find a product page and copy the URL. Be sure to give credit to any image by providing the URL of the source.

5. Use the template below to write your analysis. Fill the template out as completely as possible.

NOTE: YOUR ANALYSIS MUST BE WRITTEN FROM YOUR OWN POINT OF VIEW AND REFLECT YOUR OWN EXPERIENCE. DO NOT BORROW LANGUAGE FROM THE INTERNET OR FROM ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY. THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO RIGHT OR WRONG ANSWERS TO THIS EXERCISE. THE MOST IMPORTANT ELEMENT IS YOUR HONEST ANALYSIS OF THE TECHNOLOGY.
