Nuclear Industry Efforts to build the nation’s first “advanced small modular reactor,” or SMR.
Social Impact Analysis Capstone Paper Proposal Background: In your Social Impact Analysis (SIA) Capstone Paper, you are asked to analyze a contemporary or leading-edge design, product, or concept (DPC). The best approach is to choose a DPC that has not yet been fully deployed and analyze its potential positive and negative social impacts. These include not only physical impacts (e.g. human health) but psychological, social, cultural, environmental, and financial impacts as well. The analysis entails looking forward and trying to make a well-reasoned case for or against the DPC in question. It should be relevant to Chemical Engineering and feature a contemporary DPC which can include novel applications of well-established technologies. Your topic proposal should be 300-500 words long and include a brief description of the DPC you have chosen along with a statement about why this topic is important and relevant to engineering ethics. It is necessary to include references. DPC Background: This section provides a technical description of the design/product/concept (DPC). Explain the technology that enables the DPC. Explain generally how the DPC works. Keep the paper balanced. It is very easy to spend the majority of the paper explaining the technology and not enough time on the ethical issues. In this section include the following: a) Who is responsible or accountable for creating/producing/building it? b) What need is it intended to fill?
