Week 7 Problem sets

Written project description (24 pts, 3 points per, Due: Monday June 1st)

Answer the following eight questions (adapted from DARPA’s Heilmeier Catechism):

• What are you trying to do? Succinctly articulate your wish using absolutely no jargon.

• What’s happening today, what is the problem, or what are the limits of current practice?

• What is new in your approach and why do you think you will be successful?

• Who cares? If you are successful, what difference will your success make?

• What are the mid-term and final “exams” to check for success?

• What is the greatest obstacle to your success?

• What could go horribly wrong? What are the risks?

• How much will it cost? How long will it take?
